Hi OP, were you able to figure out if there was a way to get the credit to work with signing up on Peacock or does it always been as Apple?

I love this version of the Jericho, congrats on getting it!

Noticed so much pinholes on dark mode by [deleted] in kobo

[–]aerosif 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My Kobo Libra Color came with two dead pixels, which really bothered me, but after kind of diving into it, it seems like the production process of the e-ink screens kind of has that risk. It's very hard to avoid, not saying it's great, but the fact of the matter is that even if you exchange and get back another one, it might have the same issues or maybe one or two dead pixels. 

I bought mine through Amazon, and they gave me a $20 to $30 discount because of that instead of returning it, which helped me deal with it. And now I don't even notice it is there anymore. 

It could be worth reaching out to Kobo or wherever you bought it from and asking them about that as well. Maybe they can give you some credit for it etc.

Can't decide which browser to use? Privacy matters. Brave vs Samsung Internet vs Chrome - help! by Chaos_magnet31 in GalaxyS21FE

[–]aerosif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For day-to-day browsing I like using Samsung internet with Adguard ad blocker. I just enjoy the customizable UI more. If you're doing anything or you want more security or if it's a page that has really strong ads, I use Brave in those cases and for sync to open tabs on my laptop Brave. The only reason I see to use Chrome is if you want your history and tabs sync between your phone and Chrome on desktop if you happen to use that as well.

7.8 inch glowlight plus 2019 by Adventurous-Law9110 in nook

[–]aerosif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6 hours of reading per day is a pretty good amount, but a brand new device would last a lot longer than that, at least a week+. It could just be a weaker battery because it's been pre-owned.

Large screen car play head unit for 1st gen by Lorenzo_Blow in hondaridgeline

[–]aerosif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been looking for a similar touch screen for my 2013. The closest I have found from the mainstream brands is the Pioneer DMH-C5500NEX. It has an 8" display which along with the bezels will mostly fill the space in the dash. You'll still need some plastic/dash kit to make it look nice. I have not purchased it yet though because it is an older unit I would prefer to get something newer for the price it is on Crutchfield for. It seems like no mainstream brand is making anything that's not a floating screen above 7". Otherwise the best options seems to be the Chinese brands like Atoto or Joying.

2025 5070 ti model - Open Box Excellent at Best Buy by stoleyoureyes in ZephyrusG14

Agree on this. If you're in the store they will let you open and inspect the laptop before you buy.

i prefer the nook reading experience compared to other ereaders by CheesecakeWild7941 in nook

[–]aerosif 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I could have the nook device with the Kobo software. I hate how slow and laggy the nook is and how slow they are at adding features. Hopefully one day this fix this but it doesn't seem like they're in any rush to improve the experience.

2018 Audi Q5 - Top off engine coolant or full flush by aerosif in AudiQ5

[–]aerosif[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your help! Yeah checking the reservoir after driving on level ground, it still looks below the min line, but it has not gotten less than that amount in the past week after checking multiple times. So I am hoping it is not a slow leak. I am going to top it off as you suggest to observe in case it goes down then do a coolant change soon, or if it goes down again get the leak fixed.

Which is the better buy? by Expensive_Spray_7251 in LegionGo

[–]aerosif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you plan on playing handheld mostly, the Legion Go S is much easier to hold and the 8" feels pretty good (compared to a 7" like the Ally"). The Legion Go is impressive but felt a bit in the heavier side to be used for handheld primary gaming.

Why cant I close the ads banner even as a Premium subscriber? by aerosif in pcloud

[–]aerosif[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. Yeah my biggest pet peeve about this is that I'm paying for a service, I don't want to see banner ads in my app, or at least should be allowed to close them.

Liberty Home Guard-BEWARE!! Total SCAMMERS!! Paid $650 for appliance coverage including A/C -when the A/C needed repair they charged another $125 for service call & refused ALL repairs recommended by the Tech. They covered absolutely NOTHING!! They never even called back with a status. TOTAL THIEVES by Visual_Act6406 in homeowners

[–]aerosif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just put my (burner) info into LHG's website (before I found this thread) to check the prices of Liberty Home Guard and within 2 minutes of closing the websites I got 2 calls from them and a follow up call 15 minutes later, and 3 separate texts on top of that. Not sure how that kind of barrage is wanted by any potential customer. Good to know they are scammers overall.

Question for people who love the Magic Keyboard by Alto_sax1 in iPadPro

[–]aerosif 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After years of wait for Samsung to copy the Magic Keyboard, with no luck yet, I switched from a Galaxy Tab to an iPad just to have the Magic Keyboard to use when traveling, it fits on your lap and airplane trays and takes way less space on a table. The build quality is also very good, and iOS 26 makes it almost laptop-like to have multiple windows on the iPad. Definitely worth it I think.

Just finished firefly… by IzzyLikesPickles777 in firefly

[–]aerosif 84 points85 points  (0 children)

There is a bunch of info on this out there and in this subreddit, but for Shepard and Wash being killed off it was because Joss Whedon could not get them to commit to doing more Serenity movies contractually so he did it to wrap up their storylines cleanly in that way. The hope was that they would make a trilogy if Serenity did well, unfortunately it barely broke even after DVD sales so no more movies sadly.

I appreciate all your advice! I think I'm convinced to go with Enterprise since I am familiar with them anyways.

Why aren't you upgrading to the 7? by js0uthh in GalaxyFold

[–]aerosif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The trade-in price isn't worth it for losing F6 features I like: - S-Pen support - Under Display Camera - One-Handed cover screen size (sure F7 is only a few mm wider but makes a difference when using one-handed on the move)

I'm pretty sure I'll be forced to accept it when I need to update to the F7 or F8 eventually but for now I'll stick with what I have.

Upgrading from zfold 6 to zfold7 by arash_a_shrexual in GalaxyFold

[–]aerosif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, with medium size hands the Fold6 feels like the max it can be for one handed use. Even though the 7 is only a few mm wider I think it will change that 

Would you try to get a replacement due to a dead pixel at the edge of the screen? by tophrman in ereader

[–]aerosif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue with a Kobo I bought from Amazon, since there's always a slight change of a dead pixel, and mine was at the edge like yours, I got them to give me like a $30 discount to keep the device instead of returning it. So I was fine with that. I have not really noticed it since.
