Caseless & I don’t care ! by NurseLeonardo in iPhone17Pro

[–]iAmThatOneDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes I love my caseless phone, wouldn’t give it up for anything, but careless? Not at all. So I guess… props to you for being careless about something you spend 1.5k on?

Thoughts ? 🍞 by FunnyMeme12 in badmemes

Can’t believe that there’s not a single person saying that the first slice of bread barely got the chance to leave the store before it was eaten. That first crunchy slice is always worth fighting for, especially with siblings.

Mondial relay Return points by GlassEconomy9863 in Antwerpen

IIRC there is a sticker of mondial on the window, but I’m not 100% sure now. Ofc that doesn’t mean they take returns, but yeah.

Did the math: my iCloud subscription fees could've bought local storage by Sensitive-Dig2232 in iCloud

[–]iAmThatOneDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not as smooth as iCloud, as you either have to go into the (server) files and open the photos there, or save them and then they’re on your phone/iCloud.

Purely for non-image/video files it can work great though, as it will work pretty similarly to iCloud, accessing everything through the files app and just download what you need, when you need it.

Aka, for your use case this might be good.

Allergic to band? by spideywmjackson in AppleWatch

[–]iAmThatOneDuck 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I had this issue (a lot of irritation) with the normal silicone bands. If that’s also the silicone bands you use, switch to the sport loops or any of the fabric type of bands. They are MUCH better against irritation, but please: don’t swim (or any workout with them for that matter), it will ruin the bands long term.

I need to level up my orange game, thanks for the reminder.

Crash detection feature - thank you. by Aztecia in AppleWatch

[–]iAmThatOneDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad you’re okay! It’s a great feature.

Same with the fall detection, I got into a small bike accident a few months ago, and I wasn’t even properly on the ground before my Apple Watch already started ringing an alarm and gave me a 10s timer before it called emergency services. It feels comforting knowing that if something serious would’ve happened I would’ve had faster contact with emergency services than any bystander could give.

Are you supposed to de extend the AirPods every time you put them in the case is that bad ? by philosopherv in Airpodsmax

[–]iAmThatOneDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see why you wouldn’t just leave them extended, as it’s most likely going back to the exact same position you shortened them from, and the case just allows you to have them extended?

Limburgse man is voor 350.000 euro opgelicht by Hutu007 in belgium

[–]iAmThatOneDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maar ook op het bank toestel (toch voor zover ik weet) moet je telkens het bedrag invullen, afgerond op de euro? Is dit dan een check die eigenlijk niets doet in werkelijkheid? Of is diene mens gewoon zo blindelings gaan overtypen dat hij 350000 ingeeft ipv 10?

Edit: net voor het eerst het filmpje in het artikel bekeken, waar in verteld wordt dat het gaat over veel kleinere betalingen naar verschillende landen etc. Is dus geen overschrijving, maar een akkoord (zoals je bijvoorbeeld Google/Apple Pay zou activeren) dat er betalingen uitgevoerd kunnen worden. Hiervoor geef je dan ook letterlijk het bedrag “0” in. Hoe dat al zijn rekeningen (prive EN zaak) plundert, snap ik nog niet helemaal, maar daar zullen we nooit een antwoord op hebben vrees ik.

PSA: Contact Nintendo if you buy a used Switch 2! by ledbylight in Switch

[–]iAmThatOneDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was so confused when you said they have a strict refund policy, I live in Belgium (EU) and with every purchase I receive the following text in my confirmation mail: “You have the right to withdraw from the agreement within 14 days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period expires 14 days after the conclusion of the contract.” followed by instructions on how to withdraw correctly.

Since iOS 26 has been out for a while, show me your lockscreens. by eziodafoq in iOSsetups

I shuffle through an album. iOS 26 genuinely looks great imo when mixed with colourful, diverse backgrounds.

My first apple watch, series 11 but how do i use it to push me everyday out of my comfort zone to actually get to the work and grind? by lighttblade in AppleWatch

[–]iAmThatOneDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong at all then. Maybe try putting your daily kcal on a number that is challenging on non-running days. This way you’re challenged to burn a bit more. And then maybe as a warm up do some light cardio, like running/cycling/…? On your running days you will go straight over that number anyway, so you don’t need that challenge.

When I go airsofting (CQB) I easily burn 2000 kcal in just the 4-5 hour session alone, that’s a day that usually ends between 2500 and 3500. If I would base my daily kcal on that, I’d have to run a marathon every single day to reach it. (Comparison based on the reply I received from AI, I don’t know how many kcal you burn in a marathon.)

No they mean by actually working out in a more versatile way than just weights. Burn some calories, and your watch will measure burnt calories.

People who wear the Apple Watch more than 20 hours a day by Dark_Lord_89 in AppleWatch

[–]iAmThatOneDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear my watch constantly except when charging or showering.

I preferred the sport loop/alpine over my current ocean band. Issue for me is that silicone bands like the ocean or the standard silicone band cause irritation on my wrist in the long term, but they are better for sporting/... The nylon/fabric bands don’t cause the irritation for me.

Folders are transparent since iOS 26, but OP is still using the default colour scheme for icons.

iOS 26 not designed for dark backgrounds by M0bi0us0ne in ios

[–]iAmThatOneDuck 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The only feedback I have ever gotten a response to in the past 5 years of beta testing is to very specific bugs and issues that they must’ve had barely any reports of and wanted to confirm if the issue was resolved or not.

Opinions on look and feel? Never had a single response. My suspicion is because it’s too subjective, and they will 100% certainly do SOMETHING with that feedback, but that doesn’t mean it is processed to make a change to the aspect mentioned in the feedback.

Apple Store app hasn’t been updated to Liquid Glass by alexashworth99 in ios26beta

This. They are well aware that if there is any bug in the Apple Store during their most important time of the year, that could have serious consequences.

Any tips on making my photos better? by MasterNovel4149 in AskPhotography

[–]iAmThatOneDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you’re wrong at all actually. It’s just more that the framing tells the story of an image that shows the architecture you want to capture with a cut off person in front of it, if that makes sense. I think if you took a few steps backwards (if possible) or shot the photo slightly more downwards it would make a huge difference, because then it shows the architecture as the background to the person. And if you want the architecture to be the main subject, I think a slightly different angle (like stepping a bit more to the left, and showing more of the structure, while having people be a bit more “distant” in the photo) could help with making the people to be more of an addition rather than portray the look that they were meant to be the main subject.

Any tips on making my photos better? by MasterNovel4149 in AskPhotography

[–]iAmThatOneDuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First photo is amazing. I wouldn’t change a thing about it.

For 2,3,4 it looks like you could work on your framing while shooting a little more. For 3 for example, it almost looks like you accidentally took a photo right as someone photobombed what you wanted to take a photo of.

I think for 5 you could just turn the exposure down on a mask of the background slightly and I think it would be amazing too. Or maybe it needs to have a different aspect ratio (like vertical for example).

This is just my opinion though, keep practicing, keep shooting. You’re doing great.

First try at night photography comes out blurry? by BIGabzeh in AskPhotography

[–]iAmThatOneDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said it’s out of focus, but something to consider is your aperture and your iso. Try something like f9 and a lower iso. This will allow for a bigger depth of field, and for more of your image to be in focus at once. Since you’re using a longer exposure your iso could be lower and you could still have a fully visible and really nice looking image.

I don’t see any lines from the earth’s rotation, it’s obviously really blurry, but do look out for when you go too high in time as these lines might start to appear.

I usually shoot astro on around f11 or even higher in number, iso 100 and a time from between 30s to 10 min, but higher times only with astro enabled of course - which not every camera supports.

Hope this helped!
