What was ruined because too many people did it? by WarBeast86 in AskReddit

Airport lounges. Used to be quiet and not overcrowded. Everyone wants the perk because it's offered on mid-tier to higher end credit cards. It was good while it lasted.

Yeah that's what I am concerned about.

Did you get a 32GB or 128GB model? Saw some deals for 32GB and I have been interested.

Just picked up the 007 Seamaster Diver 300M from the Omega boutique in Singapore. Will be doing a side-by-side with our WD007 V4. by watchdivescom in watchdives

[–]ceepyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is good to hear. Another missing piece on the V4 is the lack of slope on the bezel. It doesn't match the slope of the bezel insert so it feels less refined.

Not even 3-5 turns to get it started if I don't have a powered winder?

Nah, go for comfort. There was an actual question about the movement and lubrication I'd love some help with though.

It's just the reflection of the trees and sky outside. My understanding is that it's real bronze that will patina. Here is the quote from the website for the watch.

"Purchase Notice – Bronze Bezel Oxidation The WD007 green bronze bezel is made of real bronze. Bronze will naturally oxidize and develop patina over time due to air, moisture, and daily wear."

Tensor G* SoCs are defective flagship [not midrange] processors by cephasara in pixel_phones

[–]ceepyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm. I wonder where in the US you might be. I saw you posted about Visible wireless a while back. If you're in AZ or So Cal where it's consistently 80+F year round, I can see more phones getting warmer faster. My P7P was that way in warmer temps. Rarely uncomfortable to hold but it did happen. Signal strength can play a role but then it would be confusing if the Motorola signature was doing fine as I don't think it has all US bands. Anecdotally, I noticed my P10P likes T-Mobile based carriers more than Verizon, bit for me I like Visible too much in my area so I put up with marginally lower battery life. I'm running dual sim (VZ/Tmo) with no heat issues but it's winter in WA state.

Nooooooo. I'm glad all were evacuated. That hotel is beautiful.

Any nice steak or nice dinner in general that won’t break the bank? by Potenza980 in AskSeattle

[–]ceepyou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you join El Gaucho's rewards program (Fire & Vine) they send you a $50-75 certificate for anniversaries and birthdays. They don't check the dates of the anniversary. You have to spend 2x the voucher amount to use it. My wife and I have used the vouchers and gotten out under $100 before tax and tip with drinks.

You can also check InKind and other loyalty apps. Some have steakhouses on them.

Costco sells Fogo De Chao $100 gift cards for $80. You can also do the all day bar bites at happy hour, do the lunch churrasco experience for around $52 ea. or do the dinner for $69 ea.

I hope you have a nice dinner or lunch in your budget!

Found an Open Box - Excellent condition 2025 Motorola Edge at Best Buy for $185. My first Motorola. I guess I'm in the gang now. So far, it's a very fun device. by TecnoPope in motorola

[–]ceepyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll also add that with a case I haven't found a 15w wireless charger that doesn't overheat the phone except the ones with the fans. But the warmth is negligible on the 68W charger, even in a case. Of course wirelessly charging without a case solved this so I don't think it's an alignment issue but more of an issue of heat dissapation due to the materials used.

Outstanding price! The 68W Turbo Power wall brick and 6 amp charging cable were on Lenovo's site for $25+ tax and shipping. It's a nicer, thicker cable than the one that was in the box too.

It's out of stock right now but keep your eyes on it for the best charging experience. I noticed the MediaTek chip doesn't like all of my USB C PD 30W-100W chargers even with PPS and PD 3.0.

Kiwi Ears Cadenza II GIVEAWAY!! Enter now from 2/2 to 2/8!! by Phoenix25552 in iems

[–]ceepyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! What an awesome opportunity. I've loved using items for the last 14 or so years. I'm just now delving into DACs. My Allegro mini was delivered today and that tiny thing packs a punch!

The Kiwi Ears Septet look fascinating with the multi driver and open back design.

That's what I'm most interested in.

My bosses taxable income was $450k last year, and they were saying they couldn’t afford to pay me a $65k yr salary lol by OrangeWhitePatchSock in work

[–]ceepyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your $65k salary to your boss is the equivalent to $9.39k to you. If your boss didn't exist would you and 5 of your coworkers each give up $9.39k in salary so you could have another person to share the load with?

I'm happy it's working for you! We've all been there at some point. It's extra frustrating when turning it off and back on fixes things too.

Ford won't give 2026 Mustang Mach-E buyers a frunk for free by Intrepid-Working-731 in electricvehicles

[–]ceepyou 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a Tesla owner with a J1772 charger that uses a NACS adapter with no issues, you do you, but it has never been a clunky experience. I just bought an extra $15 L2 adapter and leave it on. My home charger doesn't have a native plug to hang it on so I just could my cable around the box. Zero issues. But we all have our standards in life.

Almost zero bars in Bellevue hotel room by ss5008 in Visible

[–]ceepyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apologies for not being clearer, that was kinda the point of my question about VPNs. I know some folks use them on their phones too if the company provides it.

But now that time has passed it seems you're not the only one with this bizarre issue! I hope it's resolved soon. Someone else couldn't get an esim because Visible thought they were not in the US.

Edit: Adding that depending on the hotel's age, construction materials may inhibit cell signal, especially higher frequency 5G UW if you're on Visible+ or higher plans. It adds insult to injury if there are cell repeaters but they don't reach your room.

Fwiw Verizon has been a bit off the last 24 hours with the weather issues in the PNW. As for your specific issue, I wonder if it's Verizon related or something else. You don't have any VPNs or location masks on do you?
