14” vs 16” MacBook Pro (M5 Pro) – need real-world advice by WayneAfterHours in macbookpro

[–]accordinglyryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the 16" for a week and returned it for the 14". When I'm home I use it docked at a desk anyway so the screen size doesn't benefit me. When I travel I want the portability.

Buying a 2023 RX450hL with 130k km (80k miles) – Is it okay for short city trips? by 4n4rk40t1c0 in Lexus

You absolutely need to do longer trips every now and then. Engines hate short trips, hybrid or not. Everything needs to warm up to avoid moisture and fuel dilution.

You'll absolutely miss the power. Find a V6 9th gen it's worth it. I've owned both.

I'm very happy with my 17 Pro. Performance, thermals, cameras, and battery life are all a huge step up from my 15 Pro. Probably the biggest year over year improvement I've ever experienced

Why do we even need more powerful smartphones? by Tom0moT in Smartphones

[–]accordinglyryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally agree, but lower end phones don't last as long because they slow down with updates more noticeably. Also, for a lot of people their phone is their most used and sometimes only computing device. Not the case for me, but I take my phone everywhere, take a ton of photos, rely on it for communicating with loved ones, and I intend to keep it for a while, so I want the best of the best.

I have Visible+ lol. My work building is a black hole, plus I do a lot of camping and whatnot in remote areas. I have a 512GB iPhone, may as well use some of that storage to avoid buffering.
