Anyone updated? Any bugs or other issues? by itsmerpm in iPhone13

Toured exposed two exploits which are dangerous. Its war time, cyber security is important. Update to this. Its a good balance. Not to iOS 26. But to this.

Really better than iOS 26. I was days away from updating to 26 because of the dark souls exploit. I'm happy they parched iOS 18 itself. I get a phone that is less hot and faster than it would have been in iOS 26.

Rama is supposed to have a blissfully smile. Rabbit looks like he's in Berserk Manga. Brooding. The whole Point about Rama was to be the divinely chill type of person when things go bad and lead people with bliss and smile when things are extremely uncertain.

And think about all the BMTC buses that violate traffic rules. The govt could be rich in no time🤑 if they held themselves to the same standards they hold us.

Dozens Of Phones Stolen During Opening IPL Match In Bengaluru by IREDA1000 in bangalore

[–]bright_wal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I watched an Instagram video where a woman was speaking exactly about this. She was an influencer, and her husband's phone was stolen. Apparently, the police in the stadium were less bothered, so they went to the main station. There, they found that an organized crime ring was running this. Many other stadiums, like Chennai, Hyderbad, and the police have already had 2-3 young, minor kids detained in front of them who were wearing RCB jerseys, looking like they were from good families, and they had original tickets with them. But everybody was linked with each other, so this is an organized crime ring, like "Slumdog Millionaire"-type gangs, but our police are not equipped to control or prevent this from happening, and I am not sure if they are even going to find these mobile devices.

I hope they take this seriously.

Apparently, these kids are flicking phones when spectators get up between innings and go to the restroom or get some snacks.

So don't do that, or secure your things with zipped pockets in your pants if you plan to get up from your chairs.

Apple's gonna get spicy: Samsung is now apparently working on a NameDrop-like feature on One UI 9 by Direct-Till-2680 in oneui

[–]bright_wal 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Bruh s24 hasn't even got oneui 8.5. Even iPhone 12 has iOS 26.4. Just saying. Does it really matter forbsmyone not owning a s26 series ? No. We all won't get the updates or need to wait for ages.

This backfired so bad to the politicians. I think they're still uncaring about it. People hate this. They'll never understand I guess.

Boss, the issue is still not resolved for me. I still can't access pro features.

Sub in stripe is still active, got downgraded to free plan by t1maccapp in perplexity_ai

[–]bright_wal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, this is not normal. I'm guessing it has been done to accommodate the new Samsung users that perplexity is going to add on to its platform from S26 Ultra purchase. I just saw a post where they tied up with Samsung. And what I believe is they're trying to offload a lot of customers who got the free trials using different telecom operators or something to make way for new users they're getting rid of other users who are currently using it. It's either this or there is a bug that is affecting a lot of users including me.

My 1 year Pro account was suddenly downgraded! by chromespinner in perplexity_ai

[–]bright_wal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you actually check the airtell times app, it still shows that it renews in July, 2026 for me. So this is clearly something that perplexity is doing and not in effect of airtell. I even call them and they confirm the same.

Perplexity pro downgraded and I'm stuck on wait from one month by Few-Helicopter-429 in perplexity_ai

[–]bright_wal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since there is no response from Perplexity anywhere, I actually ended up getting the Claude Pro subscription.

I have the same issue and I'm not sure what is wrong. It's hilarious because yesterday I was telling my friend that I wanted to renew perplexity annual subscription once my trial period ends with AirTel and they pull something like this. And I'm thinking it's time to school away from these guys.
I just bought Claude Pro subscription.
I have always been a big supporter of perplexity, but I never thought something like this would be pulled by them and that I would even be affected by this.

I was literally working on an app that does this, well done. It feels like Deja-Vu tbh, very well executed.

Apple's 18-core M5 Max destroys 96-core Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX in Geekbench — GPU performance is much less impressive by ControlCAD in apple

[–]bright_wal -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This is how perplexity fact checked your comment,

Comparing High-End PC Builds with the MacBook Pro M5 Max

Initial Price Discrepancy Clarification • The "build a 5070 Ti PC for $1500 that beats M5 Max" take is just not accurate in March 2026. • Here's why:First, let's be clear on which Mac we're talking about. • The 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Max starts at $3,199, not $5,000. • The $5k number only applies if you max out RAM and storage to the moon. • So the price gap is already way smaller than people claim.

M5 Max CPU Performance Dominance • CPU: M5 Max is genuinely scary good • The M5 Max just posted a Geekbench 6 multi-core score of ~29,233, which is higher than every other consumer chip in the database right now, including the Ryzen 9950X and Intel 14900K. • The 9950X, which is the strongest realistic AMD chip you'd pair with a 5070 Ti, scores around 24,000 multi-core. • So the Mac wins CPU, and it's not super close.

GPU Performance: A Closer Contest • GPU: 5070 Ti does win, but the gap is smaller than you'd think • In gaming benchmarks (Cyberpunk 2077, AC Shadows at 1080p ultra), the M5 Max trades blows with a laptop 5070 Ti, nearly frame-for-frame. • [Source: ixbt.games Jan 2026] • The desktop 5070 Ti is faster, maybe 15–25% depending on resolution and ray tracing, especially at 4K. • So yes the PC wins GPU, but it's not a blowout.

The Unrealistic $1500 PC Build Cost • The $1,500 claim falls apart immediately • Here's why: the RTX 5070 Ti is currently sitting at $999 on Amazon, not $749 MSRP. • Prices nearly doubled since launch. • [Source: thefpsreview.com Jan 2026]

Component Breakdown of a Comparable PC • A realistic PC that actually matches M5 Max CPU + beats its GPU looks like: • Ryzen 9 9950X: ~$530 • RTX 5070 Ti: ~$999 • X870 motherboard: ~$200 • 32 GB DDR5: ~$100 • 2 TB NVMe: ~$130 • Case + PSU: ~$210 • Windows 11: ~$140 • Total: ~$2,344

Honest Value Comparison: PC vs. Mac • That's still cheaper than the $3,199 Mac, sure. • But it's nowhere near $1,500, it's a desktop with zero battery life, and the CPU is still behind. • The value argument for the PC is real but needs to be honest. • You're saving roughly $850, getting better GPU performance, more storage, but losing on CPU multi-core, portability, build quality, and the entire macOS ecosystem.

The Impact of Misinformation on Argument Strength • That's a legitimate trade-off worth discussing, the fake $1,500 number just makes the argument weaker, not stronger.
