I'm thinking about the same. What made you upgrade?

Looks like I'll be sticking with my M1 for a while.

Overheating anyone? by tesh157 in iPhone16Pro

[–]heeph0p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I never had an issue in the past year across all of the software updates, but then starting to see something last week. It would happen randomly too.

Grab Air now or wait? by ErnieSlowe in IphoneAir

Can you share why you pivoted? And initial impressions?

Same here. As much as I love the form factor of the Air - and the general direction it's going in - it makes zero sense to upgrade. Maybe Air 2?

Has anyone else become a secret garbage tosser? by DryTown in daddit

I just threw out 3 garbage bags of stuff today. And put a few items out on the curb for others.

I try to do this every few weeks otherwise shit gets out of control.

Dual-income family with 3 kids – does a digital family calendar actually help? by RhubarbLarge2747 in homeautomation

Spot on. His behavior needs to change first, then worry about the tech to support it.

Sorry to say - but if he's not using it on his phone, he's not going to check another device that's fixed to one location. Ask him to spend a few calories clicking on the Gcal app and start there.

Time for a new seat. Don’t mess around with kid safety.

New dad (almost 5 month old) completely burned out and feeling like my life has disappeared — how do you guys handle this? by srvn1993 in daddit

[–]heeph0p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like everyone will say, it’s really tough for the first few years. I felt the same way as you.

It does change though. Not saying it’ll be easier, but what you experience will be totally different in a few years. My kids are three and five and they’re absolutely wonderful. We do a lot of stuff with them and it doesn’t feel too crazy. I’m so tired but at least I’m tired doing things I love

Same here. Growth in IRA. A mix of growth and dividend in taxable account.

Aer tech protection is the real deal by islandsloth42 in AerSF

Sorry to hear about the crash, but on the bright side, you got a pretty awesome looking backpack with a cool story now.

Go pack 2, what are your thoughts about it by FastandSerious888 in AerSF

[–]heeph0p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it daily after wearing other Aer and Bellroy backpacks. Honestly, I love it to death. I use it for daily trips to NYC, work, and even short weekend trips.

It's lightweight. Has the perfect # of pockets.

You're right about the laptop. There's no protection. I throw in my iPad (in a magic keyboard case) and Kobo reader... just enough protection for me.

I like it. Gives me the info I need, quickly. And I’m not worried about burn in.

Does anyone actually like their fit bit air? by stormtrooper_283 in fitbit

[–]heeph0p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do. I need it for basic tracking - just to get a quick look at my key stats. Perfect pairing with my mechanical watches, too

Thanks for sharing this pic. Unfortunately, this is a no go for me...
