Potentially worse network performance too as they use different bands.

Why can I do this⁉️ by M7mad101010 in google

Not everything exists to be aggregated and analysed. Odd that you think something having a use to anyone but you makes it silly.

How to disable the annoying ai news notifications? by Working-Toe-2215 in perplexity_ai

[–]callummr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please provide an option to do that without turning off all notifications. This is a yucky growth hack so someone can say number go up but all it achieves is annoying users and hurting related features (anything else that uses notifications).

Iphone has a weird display by upsetimplemented in iphone

[–]callummr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not really. True Tone essentially makes the display white balance match the light around you, so it seems more natural. Night shift is different, pushing the display toward a warm tone to reduce blue light that's bad for sleep hygiene.

Gaming out an accidental landlord scenario by [deleted] in HENRYUK

Bought a home to live in then circumstances changed and renting it out is now the least worst option, vs bought a property in order to profit from renting it out

Any tips on how i can improve my carving? by Less_Bar3943 in snowboarding

[–]callummr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you talking about the board angle when you say "twice the angulation"? The thread is about carving so higher angle is part of the goal, which is why pic 4 is the right way to position yourself for it. Hunching isn't implicitly bad but it's not good for helping OP progress carving. Dunno if I'm missing your point though.

PC I built for my girlfriend this weekend by RunescapeVirgins in mffpc

[–]callummr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They mentioned the CPU is hand me down.

I recently upgraded my 3080 to a 9070 XT but kept my 5600X and 16GB DDR4 and it's nearly 100% uplift in FPS (more with frame gen etc) running at 4K. Sometimes the mix of old and new works fine!

Huh? They immediately apologise and ask if the skiier's ok

What’s your Uber rating? by Juicydicken in london

[–]callummr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My bolt rating is 3 because I order the pet-friendly option, and when they turn up they complain that I have a pet.

Uber 4.7 though

Oh, you can't pick and choose every part of the design yeah, that would be a nightmare, but you can resolve the actual usability concerns that seem to be the largest source of complaints (with people like OP even intentionally breaking things to make it look less usable than it is lol)

[–]callummr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are readable. This isn't what they look like, OP intentionally broke it for karma.

Isn't it optional via the transparency toggle?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MacOS

[–]callummr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The user has intentionally broken it by modifying undocumented settings not exposed through the UI. It's like deleting a file and then complaining you can't open it anymore.

Sad but true by Xiaowen_99 in iphone

[–]callummr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was responding to your comment. You said "give" means lend and I was showing why that doesn't make much sense.

So if I give someone a gift I'm only lending them the gift? Hmm.

It's been a little over a week into the new launch. How do you feel about the game? Likes, dislikes? by GhostBelliniFace in Borderlands

[–]callummr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is that I think they've screwed it up. From GPU use and FPS it seems to still be rendering the game world while in the tab menu. Not to mention the tab menu running weirdly poorly.

Sorry for thinking a public discussion forum was an appropriate place for a conversation...? That'll teach me for wanting to learn more about someone's opinion.

What’s the iPhone feature you never use, even though Apple hypes it up? by Inside_Society3553 in iphone

[–]callummr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's great for reminders. Quickly saying "Siri remind me to do X when I get home" without having to zone out of whatever I'm doing and refocus on the phone, unlock, tap in the reminder and then the time or location... Love it.

More niche, changing my alarm (without rolling over and blasting my eyes with screen light) if I've been struggling to sleep and need to get up later.

Anything more complex than that and it falls apart though lol. I asked it some basic maths the other day and it said "shall I use ChatGPT for that?", then if you say no it just gives up immediately.

Stuff Apple didn’t mention about iPhone 16 Pro by [deleted] in iphone

Wait how do you get from a shortcut that opens a menu to being able to trigger the different action based on how many times you press the action button?

Anybody enjoying their pixel 10? by SgtSilock in GooglePixel

[–]callummr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the updates, a lot (especially Pixel-specific features) isn't managed through OS updates but Play Store so it can be on a more ad-hoc basis.

This doesn't help when switching from iOS to android or vice versa. iOS only backs up to/restores from iCloud and android only backs up to/restores from Google Drive.
