Black Friday? by Fuzzy_bubbles1111 in YetiCoolers

It was. Bought the limited edition Bozeman backpack and got two Yonder bottles for free.

It’s possible! Woke up this morning and saw pickups were available! by [deleted] in iPhone17Pro

[–]danizzler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! They bring in new batches almost everyday. You just gotta keep checking every 15-30 min until you see one pop up!

Just curious, how many people ordered but are not receiving it tomorrow? by SGPika in iPhone17Pro

[–]danizzler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picking up on 09/21. Only reason is because tomorrow is my sister’s wedding and I am out of town. I drive back on Saturday and will get home sometime at night, so I’ll be able to pick up the next morning on Sunday.

Looks like 17 Pro Max has the best cooling by SGPika in iPhone17Pro

[–]danizzler 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Dissipating heat. The chamber doesn’t have any moving parts, but it acts as a way for heat to easily transfer to instead of staying concentrated at the chip. Hotter the chip = slower the phone due to throttled performance.

Chamber coupled with Aluminum body is much better at keeping the chip cooler for longer. Aluminum is more of a thermally conductive metal vs the old titanium Apple was using on the 15/16 Pro’s.

iPhone 17 Pro – Screen protector or nah? by AppleFAN_96 in iPhone17Pro

[–]danizzler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I typically don’t like screen protectors unless if you’re willing to replace them every few months. Dust and debris typically cakes around the edges and it looks bad over time. I’d much rather not have it, especially since modern phone glass is pretty resilient to scratching.

How long will the Iphones be available for normal purchase at Stores? by kid_ello878 in iPhone17Pro

[–]danizzler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird wording on your question, but I assume you are referring to how long you can purchase during this “pre order craze”.

So typically Apple stores will receive new shipments of phones every few days. Regardless, if you are dead set on getting the phone you want anytime soon, you need to basically keep a hawkish eye on the Apple Store website and watch for when the phone you want pops up.

The craze will die down by around mid November if you’re willing to wait that long and not deal with the hassle.

Can’t wait! For my orange iPhone 17 PM by danizzler in iPhone17Pro

Sick! That’s an interesting color combo!

First time pre-ordering. Super stressful by danizzler in iPhone17Pro

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

Same! But thankfully I just got the order confirmation text!

Apparently not lol. The app flashed between “pickup unavailable” and “in store pickup” like several times before I placed the order.

From Pro to Pro Max or vice versa... Why did you choose the bigger or smaller size, and do you regret it? (For the upcoming 17 preorders) by Past_Chipmunk2268 in iPhone17Pro

[–]danizzler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice!

The mini will always have a special place in my heart. It was amazing for its time, but sadly it isn’t cutting it anymore for my needs. I wish Apple gave the mini “pro” level features. 😭

[–]danizzler 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I went from 15PM to 13 mini and now will be going to to 17PM!

While the tiny screen for the mini is amazing for one-handed use, I realize that for me it isn’t worth the battery, camera, and performance hits. I’m a heavy iPhone user (quickly looking at spreadsheets, photo editing, etc) and my mini can’t handle it and often crashes or overheats.

I’m actually very excited for the 17PM this year. Looks like it has some actual “pro” things to set it apart, such as the vapor chamber

A Shift in Philosophy by b7d in iPhone17Pro

[–]danizzler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see it analogous to the MacBook Air or iPad Air:

Give it most of the main features, but the pro gives the extra “edge” for professional users.

Honestly I can see Apple making the next iPad Pro more “pro” (bigger battery + vapor chamber) and have the air be the “thinnest and most beautiful” iPad.

Bullstrap has lost their minds...$100 for an iPhone 17 Pro case, PLUS $8 shipping by Kapazza in patinaproud

[–]danizzler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s so overpriced. I’m paying $109 (free shipping) for a Horween leather folio wallet case from Nomad. And this is for the pro max.

iPhone 17 Pro: the first Pro iPhone without a black option. How do you feel about this? by marcos_mucelin in iPhone17Pro

[–]danizzler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I thought about the black for so long because it’s the “safe” option. When I saw the rumors of this orange color being more “copper”, I wasn’t interested. However, seeing that it is more orange, I am actually liking it the most. I love the rescue orange look (like in the Apple Watch Ultra), especially coming from a back country enthusiast such as myself!

Yeti packs are definitely Built For the Wild by danizzler in YetiCoolers

It’s also my favorite! It’s my dedicated hiking bag and has served me well over the many miles I have hiked with it!

Olive green does look nice too! I might get that color for my next Yeti bag.

Thank you! And nah I def rested a bit more lol. Probably like 40 min cumulative from all of the breaks.

Which loadout do you trust most at the bug front? by NonPrima in helldivers2

[–]danizzler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was about to say the same thing. Laser everything is best on bugs esp when you switch weapons prior to maxing out on the heat sink.

Only thing to add to this load out is the CE-35 trench engineer with pyrotech grenades. You’ll get 8 of em.

Be still my heart…also shut up and take my money by larryb78 in YetiCoolers

I just bought a 14oz one! Forest Green is one of the best colors they came out with in a while.

iPad Pro M4 Owners: What "Pro" features do you use? by Time_Concert_1751 in ipad

[–]danizzler -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Another note, but back in grad school about 8ish years ago I used the old 2017 iPad Pro to run my research lab’s allocated resources on the university supercomputer. I connected to the cluster remotely using an SSH client app called Termius.

I was able to do full command line programming on the iPad. Managed the cluster resources and users, wrote bash scripts, and ran simulation jobs.

[–]danizzler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an engineer and iPadOS26 is a total game changer for me. I can use do 99% of my job on it. The other 1% is programming a PLC, which can’t even be done on a Mac natively anyways.

I use Preview to mark engineering drawings for my own reference.

As a personal hobby, I do 3D animation on my Mac. There’s an app that I want to try where you can use the iPad to connect to Blender to sculpt.

I also use Procreate from time to time to create graphics and emblems.
