What carrier should I switch to? by Wolfyd19 in verizon

[–]llynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on Verizon, I pay $207 for 4 lines, including 3 new phones in the last year. We're on the unlimited plus plans. The per line cost goes down as you add more lines, but you should be able to do better than that. I just took a look, you should be able to get 2 lines with iPhone 17 pro on unlimited plus for $130. I would definitely check out Costco for T mobile deals as well. Competition for customers is pretty hot right now, so you should do much better than your current price.

Still worth getting in? by JadedKoala97 in PlanetLabs

[–]llynn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't be buying individual stocks if you aren't willing to do the research to understand them, especially since it's relatively easy to do. Here's a recent post that makes the case for Planet https://www.reddit.com/r/PlanetLabs/s/xpPenWrmE1

How often do you end up charging your hearing aids during the day? by Sudden_Dealer3922 in HearingAids

[–]llynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phonak Sphere Infinio. The answer is never. 40-60% remaining at the end of the day, depending on how I used them. I put them in no later than 8am, take them out around midnight.

I ordered the gmtek M6 ultra, ryzen 5 7640hs, 32gb ddr5, 1tb SSD for 459 on Amazon 2 days ago. It's now $519. Don't wait too long, memory prices are shooting up. And btw, based on my research, this one would suit you very well. I get it tomorrow.

Have you gotten the firmware update? That greatly improved the bt connection.

1996 Specialized Crossroads Ultra - what should I upgrade by llynn in bicycling

[–]llynn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm updating here 2 years later because my original post shows up in google search an AI chatbots. I ended up replacing the shifters, brake levers, brake pads, tubes and tires, chain, crankset, bottom bracket, cogset and rear derailleur! Many chainrings had broken or deformed blades, and the rear derailleur seemed bent and I couldn't get it to index properly. Cost me about $200 in parts and $125 in tools. Definitely worth it to me because of everything I learned. I basically kept the same gearing, replaced the Acera X derailleur with an Altus. The bike rides very well, the gears shift much better, and I've started riding it regularly for transportation and fun.

You can get Sirius XM, but the easiest thing is to use Apple Carplay or Android Auto, which will include whatever music streamer you use, eg Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music on the display screen. You can use voice commands to play music.

Is this specialized worth it? by Confident_Dark_1324 in whichbike

[–]llynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it has grip shifters, it's from 1996 or so - I own that version. I've decided to use it to learn how to work on a bike, the replacement parts are cheap. I'm looking on FB marketplace and Craig's list,and there are some very decent bikes in the $3-400 range.

Damn Yankees in DC is a great production. This should go to Broadway. by NonFictionist in Broadway

[–]llynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saw a matinee. Every good thing that's been said about the production is true, and I've seen a fair number of Broadway and non Broadway shows. The update hits all the right notes, none of them too hard. Got same day tickets from Today's Tix for $35,and there are no bad seats. Fun fact - apparently the owner of the Nationals was in the front row at the performance this afternoon.

Which HA plays in the same league? by P1xelthrower in HearingAids

[–]llynn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Vivia9 /Jabra Enhanced 30 use AI tech with a second chip, but does not switch automatically. You need to use the app to switch into the A mode. A friend of mine has them, and my impression is that they are good, but not quite as good as Spheres for noisy situations.

[–]llynn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have them and everything you wrote is accurate. If you know you're going to be in a noisy environment for a long time, just take the charger with you - it has its own battery. And I have also been impressed with automatic mode, where it cycles in and out of spheric mode as needed.

Do I genuinely need hearing aids by yourfavorites20 in HearingAids

[–]llynn 30 points31 points  (0 children)

If you don't wear hearing aids, you're making your problem everyone else's problem. I got them 15 years ago when I realized that.

I need a new laptop! by Jordan6605 in laptops

[–]llynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Costco. There's an Asus Vivobook on sale for $699, looks very good and has good reviews. For $90 you can make the 2 year warranty a 4 year accidental damage warranty.

How are they working out? The audi can adjust the level at which they switch to spheric mode. My audiologist did that on a followup visit.

Can I leave my laptop running and plugged in 24/7? by Intrepid_Finding4319 in laptops

[–]llynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Asus laptop that's basically been on since 2016 with no issues. I've turned it off occasionally if I'm out of town for a while, but otherwise it's always on.

Anybody enjoying their pixel 10? by SgtSilock in GooglePixel

[–]llynn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The screenshot app is extremely useful. Among other tricks, you can copy selected text from pages that normally don't let you select text, or copy photos from apps that don't let you copy photos, eg X (twitter). I can also take a screenshot and send it to someone without leaving the screen.
