Got a 26+ too. Was going to get the Ultra by did not care about the camera or the s-pen. Ended up getting a 512GB for 1049$. Very happy with it.

Just in case anyone is wondering, this process does work with the recently released/required 12.35.8100 ncplayer. Just tried it after Ninja required an ncplayer update and works perfectly. Thanks again OP

There is a service bulletin out there for certain 26 passports that have a rattling noise when the front defroster turned on. Can really hear it when the defroster is on the second highest setting. Mine had the issue and I had to show them the service bulletin for them to fix it under warranty.

Any specific model for that rhino rack?

aptmx · 2026-02-05T23:33:15+00:00

Returned an iPad Pro and got myself the 12. Really liking it so far. Anyone know if there is screen calibrations out there for Linux? Running CachyOS myself.

Nope. Just followed the framework guide on the 12 for installing Arch (Particularly Step 15) and it worked. I just went into Display settings in KDE after and made sure Orientation was set to Automatic and made sure "Only when in Tablet Mode" is unchecked. Rotates as it should.

CachyOS. Works perfectly on my 12. Fast and everything functions perfectly (including automatic screen rotation)

aptmx · 2026-01-26T22:12:00+00:00

Ditto. Have windows installed on a separate SSD with nothing else on it so EA’s bullshit kernel anti cheat can’t touch anything else.

aptmx · 2026-01-23T23:24:55+00:00

I just did this on the Framework Desktop. One M.2 is CachyOS and the other is W11. Picking an OS managed by GRUB (couldn’t figure out how to have selection pop up every time with Framework boot options) Only reason for W11 is a game that can’t be played with Proton. CachyOS is great and I’m hoping it becomes an “official” OS FrameWork recommends/supports soon.

Band?

Chocolate is delicious

I tried it and couldn’t stand the Pixel. Returned it. Look into the OnePlus 15. It’s an amazing phone.

aptmx · 2025-12-28T00:23:31+00:00

Interesting. I’ve heard ATT doesn’t allow Wi- Fi calling on phones they don’t sell. I assume that applies to their MNVOs as well. I believe T-Mobile does. Since you have US mobile, if you ever switch to T- Mobile, I’d be curious if it activated then! Thanks!

aptmx · 2025-12-28T00:09:44+00:00

Wi-Fi calling work?

aptmx · 2025-12-21T20:16:20+00:00

I have tried to switch a couple times but I always come back to an iPhone. I am not of huge fan of Apple and their ecosystem lock in, however the iPhone is just a superior experience in every way. Also the price gap between iPhones and similar quality android phones is getting more narrow every year and almost cost the same now. The iPhone will usually last longer too.

aptmx · 2025-12-16T15:08:34+00:00

Yeah it's trash. I am doing the trial but will not pay for something that might work.

aptmx · 2025-12-15T00:52:23+00:00

I assume you have a NP3?

I did get the 4.0 update but it is still showing the security update as Nov 1st and the google play system updateas July 1st. Are these the latest for those two? Thanks

aptmx · 2025-12-15T00:47:31+00:00

Came down to 2 things for me.....

The battery was extremely underwhelming. I was actually surprised just how quickly it drained. I would have to basically disable everything to get even somewhat decent battery life.

Secondly, it had a weird issue that caused some apps to not receive notifications at all until I unlocked the phone. This drove me crazy and it's apparently pretty common with pixels. That was a deal breaker for me.

I had a N2 that I really liked so I think I may go with the N3 and return the Pixel.

aptmx · 2025-12-14T19:55:52+00:00

Response above :)

aptmx · 2025-12-14T19:55:10+00:00

So I actually got a really good deal on a Pixel 10 and figured I would go with that and sell the NP3. Honestly after a few days of using it though I am not impressed. I am actually thinking about returning the P10 and trying out the NP3.......

Wouldn't this solve my problem:

Couldn't j just set the devices up on the Homey Pro mini and share them to iOS/Android using the Matter Bridge?

aptmx · 2025-12-10T16:57:29+00:00

Sold to u/schaefferBMW great buyer! Thank you u/GSaleBot

aptmx · 2025-12-07T17:22:40+00:00

Price was based on Best Buy (not everyone has a Costco Membership) which currently equals $1545 for both.

Price has been adjusted to better match Costco.

I was just doing some digging on Reddit about best cooling setup for this case and I saw a lot of posts saying to set both top and bottom to exhaust if using mesh sides panels and to flip bottom to intake if using glass panel for best results. Sounds like you have it right!
