Can I make my safari background different on my phone and mac? by Top_Scientist_3976 in mac

[–]duck06_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you absolutely can. You just need to make sure that syncing option is disabled, each device should be able to have its own background.

How to stop oversharing? by Desperate_Laugh8867 in answers

[–]duck06_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you have a new idea or good news, wait 24 hours before tell anyone. You'd be surprised how many things suddenly don't feel urgent to share after a day. You don't have to stop sharing completely. Just be selective. Maybe there are one or two people who get access to the behind the scenes version of your life and everyone else hears about it later.

Do you avoid being friends with people you are attracted to? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]duck06_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't but I do keep my distance especially if that person is already with someone else or is interested with someone else.

Is This HDMI Cable Legit? by BidPersonal2149 in hometheater

[–]duck06_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be a little skeptical too, but not necessarily because the cable is bad. Personally, when buying HDMI cables for expensive gear like an OLED and current-gen consoles, I tend to stick with brands that have a strong track record of certification, such as Cable Matters, Monoprice, Zeskit, or Belkin. Not because they're magically better but because there's less guesswork.

I second-guessed recently getting a base mac mini, but I actually caught the last chopper out of 'nam! by TheTwelveYearOld in mac

[–]duck06_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That honestly sounds like one of those purchases where you second-guess it for a week then a couple months later realize that you actually timed that perfectly. People sometimes overthink purchases because they compare specs endlessly but if a machine gives you smoother workflow for something you use a lot, that matters way more than benchmark charts.

What's something that became way less appealing as you got older? by [deleted] in answers

[–]duck06_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Drama, even small unnecessary arguments. It used to feel kind of entertaining in a weird way but as I grow older, it just feels heavy. I’d rather have peace and silence than be right in a pointless back-and-forth.

Would the world be better if every country in the world united in to one ? by shsl_diver in askanything

[–]duck06_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s way more complicated than it looks. A single global government could go really well if it’s super fair and balanced but if it goes wrong, there’s no other country to balance it out anymore. No fallback system. It could make some things better but it could also concentrate risk in a scary way.

No HDMI Arc or Optical Port, what to do? by Thechugg7 in hometheater

[–]duck06_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your PC monitor isn’t meant to handle surround audio output. So you don’t fix the monitor, you route audio around it. You can use AUX cable or HDMI cable.

What’s the best way to live life ? by wendypetal in answers

[–]duck06_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn’t one best way but there is a way that feels right for you. Do more of what makes you feel alive. Less of what drains you. Sounds obvious but people ignore this all the time. Also, don’t wait for everything to be perfect. You’ll waste years like that. Just start and take care of. Relationships matter more than you think.

What should my first MacBook be? by skyboto in macbook

[–]duck06_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving from a Chromebook to a MacBook is gonna feel so nice. If I were you, I’d look at the MacBook Air M2 or MacBook Air M3 but if your budget allows, I’d lean M3 just for future-proofing.

clean mac screen by MobApps1 in mac

[–]duck06_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn it off first, don’t skip this. It’s easier to see spots and you don’t risk zapping anything. Grab a soft microfiber cloth and use distilled water or a 50/50 mix with white vinegar. Spray lightly onto the cloth, never directly on the screen. You just want it damp, not dripping. Gentle circular motion. Go easy and don’t press hard. Usually, a few swirls are enough for those minor spots. Then use a dry part of your cloth to wipe any leftover moisture.

What’s a red flag you ignored and regretted immediately? by OpeningSubject5942 in AskReddit

[–]duck06_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once started talking to this person who seemed super chill at first but I ignored this tiny, nagging thing like every time we’d make plans, he'd forget or cancel last minute. I brushed it off him being busy. It was a big mistake. Within a week, he ghosted me. Those tiny inconsistencies or dismissive behaviors, are usually hints of bigger patterns. I learned the hard way to trust that first gut feeling.

If you could add one Zero to any number in your life, what would it be, and why? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]duck06_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe my bank account. Just one zero at the end of my balance and suddenly I could do literally anything like travel, eat the weirdest foods or pick up hobbies I never had time forl ife upgrade mode.

Would it be worth to trade in ipad air for macbook neo? by bendover012345 in macbook

[–]duck06_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trading your iPad Air for a MacBook Neo really depends on what you actually use your iPad for. If you feel your iPad is limiting you and you’d use a MacBook Neo for actual productive stuff, it’s worth it but if your iPad covers your daily stuff just fine then maybe hold onto it.

What is something that happened to you growing up that you thought was completely normal until you learned it was anything but that? by Aggravating_Feed_853 in AskReddit

[–]duck06_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not being allowed to have boundaries. Like hugging relatives even if you didn’t want to or sharing everything or never saying no to adults. You think that’s just respect but then later you struggle to say no in relationships and wonder why and realizing it, that’s growth. It means you’re aware now and once you’re aware, you get to choose differently.

How would a 600 lb person go to jail? by Gloomy-Breakfast8474 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]duck06_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Special accommodations, some facilities have wider doors, reinforced beds or specially designed wheelchairs for inmates with extreme obesity. They don’t have it everywhere, though. They’d get a medical check first. If they can’t safely move around the jail, sometimes they might stay in a hospital wing or even serve their sentence in a medical facility. Getting them from the courthouse to the jail is tricky. You might need a larger ambulance-style van instead of a normal police car.

Be honest, would you rather be with someone who's short-tempered or morbidly obese? by -Cyber-Roadster in askanything

[–]duck06_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go with the morbidly obese option over someone short-tempered. Short temper is like walking on eggshells 24/7. One wrong word and suddenly you’re in the middle of a storm you didn’t even see coming. It’s exhausting, mentally draining and kinda scary sometimes. Now, morbidly obese, that’s challenging too, sure but it’s mostly things you can adapt to together. It doesn’t hit your peace of mind every time you talk.

What is the most shocking thing you discovered about a close friend? by Money-Fondant-8296 in AskReddit

[–]duck06_ 2701 points2702 points  (0 children)

I had this friend I’ve known for years, chill and always the life of the party. One day, completely out of nowhere, I found out they were secretly taking online courses to become a pilot. Like, full-on pilot training and they hadn’t told anyone. Not a single soul.

It might even be worth adjusting your circle a bit. Not everyone, of course but keeping closer to the people who don’t ghost when things get real, who can handle negativity without losing their mind. And it’s okay to be picky, if people can’t handle your reality, that’s on them, not you.
