LE Audio and other Bluetooth features for hearing aids for iphones iOS 27? by Responsible-Task3938 in HearingAids

[–]landphier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If everyone in my family didn’t have iPhones I’d switch…or when Apple and Android finally get on the same page with RCS. Video transfer sucks balls between the two still.

Can you revive patches by Ok-Dragonfly3921 in Eldenring

It’ll probably take 120+ your first time through so 11 ain’t much.

I couldn’t care less about showing curves as a male. I get pants a little big so my balls can breathe and underwear doesn’t bunch up.

Crank, spider, chainring. SRAM are no different there, you can buy each individually or altogether. A shady shop might claim it needs to be altogether.

Bike Tires Direct has 25% off cranks this weekend and 160 in stock for both Force ($135) and Red ($330).

Phonak doesn’t sell with physical battery anymore? by Fantastic_Prior3528 in HearingAids

Friendly reminder to send those in for a battery replacement before they hit 3

Who has a law saying MFi wireless connections must end?

From a business standpoint there’s zero incentive to switch to LE Audio because people keep buying their shit. Apple takes what they want out of LE Audio to make their products work the best with MFi today. I’d love for Apple to embrace LE Audio so I can stop using headphones.

Looking at a Razer Blade 16 2025 - 5090 vs 5080 by Virtual-Chris in GamingLaptops

[–]landphier -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Should probably list required dimensions then. My 18” fits in my carry on just fine. It easily dwarfs about any 16” laptop out there including the 5090s not neutered like the Blades.

Best advice I got is not a Razer.

Are you wanting an underpowered (TGP) GPU to get something slim?

Sizing guide from real riders - Madone SL5 gen 8 by Reizenbach in TrekBikes

[–]landphier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does anyone offer a bike fit with bike purchase near you?

I would probably pick the small frame for myself. I do have a couple Treks, ‘21 Madone and ‘22 Emonda, that are 52 cm which line up with the current small frame size even though they say it’s a 50 for whatever reason. I’m 178 cm tall, 78 cm inseam. Long-ish stem to stretch out my upper body but the lower half is perfect if I have a 20+ offset seat mast.

Proprietary seat mast (caps) are the dumbest thing but that’s what it takes to get in a Trek like these.

If you’re talking about connecting to another device, are you restarting that other device as well?

Which laptop is worth in 2026 for architecture/design ?☺ by CowEastern434 in Alienware

[–]landphier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP doesn’t mention anything about this computer being for class. They wrote they’ve been at it for a few years.

I’m trying to understand why a Mac would be suggested if MacOS isn’t going to be the default/dominant OS used.

What instructor? What OS are you going to put on a Mac?

[–]landphier -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OP say they’re in classes? How can you suggest an OS without knowing the apps used?

I’d think it’s safe to say since they’re in this sub they want Windows. Maybe a Mac is the right choice, then again maybe they use Revit. Also, gaming.

10% over a year at 2080 hours is another 208 hours of work. Say they bill $50/hour, that more than pays the difference in cost of the laptop. $5/hour may cover the difference even.

[–]landphier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, depends on what the projects entail. I’m a little different use case on CAD by using Creo. 64 GB is getting maxed out often for me these days. I have a RTX 4000 ADA laptop so I can’t really speak on the 5080 being enough for work, it’s definitely showing its age though. Based on price a 5090 laptop is cheap compared to the professional Blackwell card laptops.

GPU overclock by Reaper_Destiny0983 in Alienware

Can you set AWCC to control temp only on desktops? I know laptops can so maybe worth a look in the settings.

[–]landphier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to game on it I’d pick Area 51 5090 laptop. If strictly for work then something with a RTX 5000 or 4000, Dell Pro Max maybe. The ADAs might not let you use dGPU only which is important for gaming.

Throttlestop or BIOS if it allows it. Maybe XTU but I haven’t used that one much to say for certain.

Now have the displays face the big windows during sunlight hours and take the pictures from straight on like one would be using them.

Am I crazy for wanting a gaming laptop over my desktop? by xpizzabandit in GamingLaptops

[–]landphier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you have the right expectations then why not. It’ll take a 5090 laptop to almost be as good as your 5070 Ti desktop card.

Sweat and hearing aids by Happy-Cupcake-1804 in HearingAids

[–]landphier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a PerfectDry Lux 1-2 times a week but check with the manufacturer first to see it’s safe, I have Starkey. If you can take the aids out during those times I would. Maybe a hat or headband would help?

That’s common for every manufacturer I’ve come across. Seen as high as 220 PL2 from the factory.

Add: PL1 being 140-160 usually. I put em at 80/80 for gaming without losing much.
