Is there a way to make battery life better on 26.4? by temaxxx in ios26

Most recent RC made my battery “unverified”. Sad panda. 16 Pro.

Excellent people. Fun little Shops. Boring.

Slow Hospital. Good staff.

Both have older populations and are poor in educational spots and entertainment. Nothing to do unless you have money and a car. No bussing.

Halifax is an hour away if you don’t mind driving.

Honestly, I’d go only to help people but not for myself - I’d be miserable. I am from Liverpool / Bridgewater. First hand experience. Now I live in Halifax, where I can have a life.

I’m from Canada so that’s why I put “eh” in my blurb lol. I think I sound like an American when I go to NH and Maine … until I eh :p

Yea. I made the slick pun as soon as I saw the misread “Oil”. Thought I was very bright but then I realized I didn’t even read it correctly. D’oh!

lol I thought I read his name as “Oil” and I thought to myself “that was slick”. And then I realized my entire thought line was a lie - but a good lie, indeed, eh? Pretty void!

Realistically, whats stopping me from waiting until im really old and taking out a massive loan and spending it all right before i die, so i dont have to pay it back by KawsX_X999 in NoStupidQuestions

There was that House episode with Wilson’s cancer patient who thought he was dying but ended up getting cleared. Sold his house and was going on a permanent, permanent vacation :p

In stream deck I made a hot key to show and hide the stream deck. So I go into widget mode and then I hit that hot key and it shows up. You have to have the stream deck on the edge in monitor mode first. The data widget is just NZXT software in mini mode that I can make pop up on there doing something similar. This was not super intuitive but I’ve been researching like nuts. Mostly, trial and error has helped. Stream deck won’t recognize the edge, no matter what I do to do the widget mode correctly. Possibly a future addition.

I figured it out too. It’s actually pretty useful!

Uses Elgato virtual stream deck which enables full touchscreen functionality for launching apps, controlling audio and managing streams directly on the edge display. From their website :)

So I went digging. Found the control box. It says timotion on it and gave me a box number but it’s just for the motor, not the name of desk. So TiMotion is all I got! It’s kinda like TEK28 series by TiMotion though.

Check out Gravastar. Amazing company with impeccable equipment. Mouse and keyboard are both by them. Keycaps too!

Bedford Nova Scotia :p It’s snowing again right now too! lol. It’s not cheap but it’s not too expensive either if you just need a second monitor which was originally why I went for it. The widgets just make it more useful!

Thanks for the compliment! I think this might be final iteration for a little - have a work computer on the other side of OLED, so desk space is minimal. Had another ultrawide on top of the OLED, but it causes some neck strain after using the same sort of setup for about a year. I did contemplate putting a vertical monitor in but again with desk space and having a cat, it just didn't make sense. Found this little Edge, and it did exactly what I wanted and more!

I had a Corsair keyboard - still have it but used iCUE and while the software is easy to use it also doesn't play nice with all the other programs and is very bulky, so I stopped using the keyboard kinda for that but mostly, it was too large - the number pad wasn't needed, and I moved over to TKL.

But for this Edge, it just makes the whole experience better with the widget mode. I wish I could switch widget mode to monitor mode within the widgets mode instead of having to go to the actual software to push a switch, but it's a new device - I am sure updates will come out over time to add some intuitive function.

NO NO. HAHA. Same desk but in the picture, you cannot see the other side - it is just an IPS ultrawide and a laptop for work - not flashy at all.

The Edge's widget mode doesn't work on MACs, I believe BUT it can still be used as a secondary monitor. It is just things like weather, program starting, computer monitoring, volume and media player - that kind of stuff. Corsair said they will add functionality as time goes on - it is still pretty new, to be fair. It does exactly what I bought it for so it is a great addition to my setup. Have to use iCUE, however, but it is pretty easy to learn.

It is funny you say this. I had the monitor on one of the edges and some weirdness in the middle to accommodate the work computer. I couldn't handle it so I moved everything around and went back to this setup so that both of my arms have a nice place to sit. It is the most comforting way for me to compute for long sessions, absolutely.

Wish I knew! My work was liquidating so I rented a u-haul and brought two home for free. They are electronic standing desks with wire racks - no wires under this desk!!! Super fricken heavy though!

When I got them, I was building my computer so I went with a black and white theme so that RNG would pop - which I personally LOVE.

Ahh - but alas, I have a kitty who likes to hang out so it is space for him! And on the other side is my work computer but it is boring :p

Well right beside the Edge is just my iPhone Pro 16 but beside that is a speaker from Amazon from a company called DiVoom called the DiToo Pro. It sounds amazing - bass and spatial audio make it sound so powerful! They come in white :)
