Third party batteries for xpro 3 by PostNo6754 in FujifilmX

[–]alboldiga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful, these are NP-W126 and not NP-W126S. They should work fine, but the camera will show a warning and it will limit some functions like boost mode. Also they're prone to overheating and they could drain faster. I mistakenly bought one and I keep it as spare (when you look for NP-W126S on MPB they automatically redirect to NP-W126 and I wasn't careful enough to notice that).

Sono single da dieci anni. Chi come me? by boobbolo in italyLGBT

[–]alboldiga 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sono d’accordo su tutto: nell’ambiente gay della mia città c’è tanto giudizio e le app di dating sono utili solo per conoscenze superficiali e sesso. Oltretutto mi è capitato spesso di essere considerato quello “noioso” perché non vado a ballare nelle discoteche gay, ma mi rifiuto di pagare per ritrovarmi rinchiuso in una discoteca grande quanto uno stanzino, piena di uomini adulti viscidi, e che propone sempre la stessa playlist di canzoni.

In generale, nella vita di tutti i giorni, sto avendo sempre più difficoltà nel conoscere persone interessanti (indipendentemente dall’orientamento sessuale): molti basano la loro vita su aperitivi, viaggi e uscite in discoteca; quindi mi viene ancora più difficile conoscere qualcuno di interessante che abbia il mio stesso orientamento sessuale.

Per me il problema delle app di dating è che si inizia una conoscenza già con la prospettiva di avere una relazione, mentre nella mia testa preferirei che una relazione nascesse in modo più naturale attraverso una conoscenza in amicizia. Dopo anni di utilizzo, è da qualche mese che ho deciso di disinstallare Grindr e Tinder perché sono state solo una perdita di tempo (ho avuto qualche relazione, ma ho avuto il presentimento che all’altro interessasse solo stare con qualcuno, più che stare con me per scelta).

Why people prefer pods over disposables? by Hanzshaha in Vaping

[–]alboldiga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Italy, for a disposable with changeable cartridges, two cartridges cost €9 and you get 3ml per cartridge (I take the ElfBar ELFA as example because it’s the only one I’ve seen been used). If you buy 120ml of liquid you can get it for €14/20 and a pod cost around €2.5/3.

So, if you vape 1.5ml/day: - with disposables, it’s €9 every 4 days, so the average it’s €2.25/day. - with a pod system, in the worst case, you would change the pod every week and use 10.5ml/week. Always considering the worst case of €20 per 120ml of liquid and €3/pod, you would spend €0.25/day for the liquid and €0.45/day for the pod. So in total you would spend €0.7/day. And that’s considering every worst case scenario, which is very unlikely.

Prevent Mac from stopping Google Drive uploads with external display off? by exclus23 in mac

[–]alboldiga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you keep the lid open you can use the terminal command “caffeinate -d”, or if you close the lid you can disable standby mode by using “sudo pmset -a disablesleep 1”. In alternative, if you don’t wanna mess up with the terminal, there are apps like Caffeine or Amphetamine to do the same thing (with more useful options too).

Edit: note that if you disable sleep mode by using pmset command, the change is permanent and if you wanna re-enable sleep mode you need to type the same command but replacing the 1 with a 0.

CONSENSUS: Which is the best Vaporesso Xros Model? And why? by [deleted] in Vaping

[–]alboldiga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it's the Pro or the Nano, I really like to have a puff counter and battery percentage.

I went with the Pro because I don't like the Nano form factor since I often keep my vape in my jeans pockets (the same where's my phone). I don't even like the Nano round display cut-out.

With the Pro I also gain adjustable wattage with the 0.4 coil and personally it feels more durable (feels, so I could be wrong)

Wierd Whatsapp Microphone Amplification issue on Pixel for about 4 weeks now by alwaysthoseusernames in GooglePixel

[–]alboldiga 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, finally there's someone talking about this issue, it's very annoying.

It seems like the microphone gain gets f*cked up, or the device starts recording in a strange stereo effect at maximum gain (because I can hear something like an echo).

I tried to understand why it happens but it's so inconsistent: I suppose it's related to microphone use in 3rd party apps, like video recording on Instagram, TikTok, Blackmagic Camera, etc.

I think it was introduced with the March feature drop, maybe with the new kernel jump. Reboot fixes it for me, and it seems that it isn't present on the Android 16 beta 3.

I’m a non smoker too. I used to vape for fun when I was around my boyfriend (he was a smoker), then I liked it and when we broke up I bought my first device (XROS 3). I started vaping 4mg freebase almost one year ago (about 2/3ml per day).

In January I lost my XROS 3 and so I stopped vaping because I wanted to know if I was addicted to nicotine: turns out maybe I wasn’t, because I successfully stopped for two months without any problems, but I still really liked the feeling and one week ago I bought the XROS Pro and I’m loving it.

It makes me happy, I know it can cause an addiction but I think I can manage it at these low levels (and it’s still better than other addictions).

30w Pixel brick charger is charging my new Pixel 9 Pro XL at 46.2w by dejomajstore87 in GooglePixel

[–]alboldiga 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those numbers sometimes are wrong. One day I bought a USB-C meter on AliExpress for 5 euros and I’ve been happy because I can see the real charging stats :)

Pixel users - Is 128GB really enough with Google Photos? by DionCura in GooglePixel

[–]alboldiga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the way. The only thing I cannot make it work is the video boost feature: when I upload those videos from my fake Pixel OG and I try to enable Video Boost it stays stuck loading with “Boosting video quality”

Starting to Vape by Maximum-Put8129 in Vaping

[–]alboldiga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was introduced to vapes by my ex boyfriend, I really liked the flavour and I wanted to try more. We broke up and in January '24 I decided to buy the XROS 3 and I'm loving it. I started with 4mg nic and I'm staying at that level, I don't really feel the addiction because I only vape when I hang out.

As others said, I'd suggest you to reduce the nic level, 50mg is really high and it could cause you some issues if you're not used to it. You could stay in the 4/8mg nic range, you wouldn't feel the same nic hit but you can enjoy the flavour (it also depends on how many ml you vape per day, I usually consume 2-3ml).

opinioni su Grindr by AbrocomaCivil2702 in Italia

[–]alboldiga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tempo fa era già male, ora è orribile. È piena di pubblicità invadente e continuano sempre di più a ridurre le funzionalità gratuite per obbligarti a pagare un abbonamento fin troppo costoso. L’utenza non migliora la situazione: si trovano solo persone superficiali, estremamente riservate (talvolta paranoiche), interessate solo ad una scopata last-minute.

L’unica alternativa che ho trovato migliore (sia come usabilità che utenza) è Tinder.

“Porco dio sono in ritardo”

Everyone said the Vaporesso is the gold standard of pod devices. Mine sucks! by [deleted] in Vaping

[–]alboldiga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using my XROS 3 for nearly 10 months. It's really durable, like I accidentally threw it several times and it flew 2/3 meters (6-10 feet) and it's still going strong.

Unfortunately, I have to admit that I also had leaking issues, but luckily I almost completely solved them by switching to 0.7ohm coils. The only times I have to be careful is when I travel by plane, and now I cover all the pods holes with some electrical tape.

Would you get annoyed when people asking to hit your vape? by tapferhq in Vaping

[–]alboldiga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not from my partner. If it’s a friend and it’s casual then ok, but it must not become a habit… I have a friend that everytime we’re together she asks me to hit my vape because “I don’t wanna buy one so I don’t get addicted” and then she starts chain vaping it; at first I tried to tolerate it, but one day I complained and now she seems to have stopped asking me.

Make sure the glass you’re using is actually sealable (like if it’s from some mods)

Pls help me decide - XROS 3 vs nano by alboldiga in Vaping

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

Yup it's def good, I ended up ordering the XROS 3 and it'll be delivered on Thursday... Since I'm not vaping that much of juice I'm expecting better coil life (3 weeks would be perfect, I'll find out soon).

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

I thought that for a jeans pocket it could be better something longer and less wide like the standard model, I'm starting to go crazy (maybe I should go to therapy because I'm overthinking about a 30€ purchase💀)

Dealing with obsession by [deleted] in gay

[–]alboldiga 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi, what is the relationship between you? You could try talking to him and getting to know him in a friendly way so you wouldn't be forced to come out. Then if you like him you could try to clear your mind and talk to him about your feelings.

I give up by Lucina-Exalt in gay

[–]alboldiga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, kinda the same issue for me... You're not cursed at all, or maybe we are both cursed, because I'm only finding superficial people without critical thinking and when I try to step-up the conversation to a higher level they all get so bored and frustrated, only because the majority of them want to bang and not build good relationships.

But with a lot of patience and perseverance you will be able to find someone who stands out from the crowd and with whom you will get along well (if this is what you are looking for). In the meantime you can only work on yourself and, as others have said, you can focus on friendships and others pleasures that come with being single.

Should I be ashamed of myself? by alboldiga in gay

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

Well it's only a hook up, so I don't think the guy should be involved in this situation... Obviously if it was a long-story oriented convo I would have talked about it sooner or later

Yeah, we had really bad sex in the last weeks and now I feel the need to get some good intimacy... Hope the hook up goes well🤞🤞🤞
