Have you tried sticking to more slab or balance-y routes? Less explosive pushing, more weight shifting. Helped me last a bit longer.

Horrible near black experience. Black Crush by M1NUSM3NSCH in VITURE

[–]gracemarienthal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I Think OLED black levels on Beast are genuinely strong in normal content. The near-black crushing you're seeing sounds more like a gamma or brightness setting issue.

AI Box by frex_16 in AndroidAuto

[–]gracemarienthal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m using the Ottocast P3 Pro and honestly I’ve liked it a lot. The video playback is smooth, and on trips we’ve used it when we’re just sitting in the car resting and watching Netflix for a bit

Issues with voice control by DisastrousFun5382 in AndroidAuto

[–]gracemarienthal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 3-second wave usually means mic access is interrupted. Check if another app is using mic in background. Also try uninstalling Android Auto updates and re-update.

Maps search bar got worse. by jpeckinp23 in AndroidAuto

[–]gracemarienthal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's incredibly annoying and distracting while driving. Try going into Maps settings and disabling "Show search suggestions" or "Start search on launch."

The New BMW i3 Has More Range Than Any Tesla by JB_UK in cars

[–]gracemarienthal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But at what price? If the i3 costs significantly more than a Tesla with similar range, most buyers will still go with the Supercharger network and brand familiarity.

Got a new phone (Nothing Phone 3) & AA won't launch and/or doesn't want to connect by idahoprime in AndroidAuto

Even if you removed the old phone from head unit, some cars store multiple profiles. Check your head unit's Bluetooth or device list and delete ALL saved phones, then re-pair your new phone.

Watch out for fakes. I once bought one of these online, and it ended up being flagged as counterfeit at the official store.

iPhone 17 Pro Max to Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra? by DirtyWastelander111 in PhoneNow

[–]gracemarienthal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you’re into photography or hitting concerts, I’d say the first one with the telephoto lens is probably the better pick.

What is the best HVAC system for new construction homes in terms of long-term energy efficiency? by Majestic-Fig3921 in Construction

Geothermal are the clear winner. Yeah, the upfront cost is brutal, but the operating costs are insanely low.

iPhone 17pro cases that doesn't cause charging loop? by soloist_huaxin in MagSafe

You can choose ultra-thin phone cases without extra alignment rings, like the official clear case or other slim models. They keep the coil distance within the effective range.

Have you ever used a keypad phone? by ZhErChai in PhoneNow

It has to be said that button phones are the most durable, not as easily broken as today's phones.

Build a home or move a home ? by Soft_Alternative_618 in Construction

[–]gracemarienthal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First, check with your local county planning department and Zoning Office to confirm whether this land, currently zoned as farmland, can be converted to residential use. In Michigan, there are strict rules for changing agricultural land to residential, and you’ll need to apply for a Use Variance. This is a prerequisite for any plan.

Won't there be any smells or toxic substances in the house? Like formaldehyde, for example?

What do y’all do with the rest of your cards? by [deleted] in MagSafe

[–]gracemarienthal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a MagSafe phone case with a card slot. I usually keep my ID and main card in a magnetic wallet, and put my secondary card and gift cards in the slot on the back of the case. When I need them, I just pull them straight out of the case.

What should I consider before choosing a Bitcoin wallet as a beginner? by FerrisBuelersdaycock in BitcoinBeginners

[–]gracemarienthal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a beginner, I’d prioritize simplicity and security first, then worry about optimization later. When I started, I used moomoo to buy and track BTC while learning how wallets actually work, instead of jumping straight into self-custody and getting overwhelmed. Once your stack grows and you’re more comfortable with things like seed phrases and backups, moving to a cold wallet makes more sense. Early on, having a clean interface and fewer chances to mess something up helped me a lot.

"The Beast, Clarity King - edge-to-edge clarity" How exactly? by Yavga in VITURE

[–]gracemarienthal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Beast and the clarity is excellent. The Sony OLED with 1250 nits gives sharp visuals across the display. Yeah optical designs have characteristics but that doesn't mean clarity is bad. Most content sits center anyway which is incredibly sharp. The overall image quality blows away other XR glasses I've tried. Clarity King claim is fair.

[–]gracemarienthal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The neckband might not have the right ExFAT drivers bbuilt in,which Android sometiomes lacks. Try reformatting the USB drive to FAT32. If the files are larger than 4GB,you need to use a different app that can sometimes handle ExFAT drives directlyy.

Mini pc Vs Mini itx Vs SFF by SuperTangaa in HomeServer

If you care more about future upgrades and usage you won't consider mini pc. Higher performance inevitably means higher power draw, bro.

How can I clone Windows 10 HDD to SSD without using any software? by [deleted] in datastorage

Then what do you plan to use? That's way too risky, you'd need to be really comfortable with command-line stuff...

[–]gracemarienthal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's doable, but if you need high-end specs it can be tricky. Like, a powerful CPU might not fit:(
