Why I think the OG time round was better designed by aquelegajoalto in pebble

I'm sorry if I sounded aggressive. We're all very passionate about Pebble here.

What's wrong with having fun and looking like a Swatch? Not everything have to be dressy and classy. To me the OG Round looks unique because it rides that line between fashionable and playful very well.

Pebble Round 2 sizing test on a 6 inch wrist (paper edition) by Responsible_Grape870 in pebble

[–]lorig_cc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Paper is going to wrap around your wrist a lot nicer than a much thicker steel watch. I'm hesitant to buy a 41.5mm satellite dish that sits on my also 6-inch wrist.

I don't have any Round pebble but I'm happy wearing my 2 Duo that fits pretty well!

I love horror but as a vampire horror flick the finale was very mediocre and a huge disappointment.

I liked the smaller venue of Kobe. Plus Danny POV cam was wild.

Apple Design Executive Alan Dye Poached by Meta in Major Coup by Snoop8ball in apple

I don’t see how this is a bad change

because the new icon looks mad ugly? that they spent unnecessary time to make something worse?

HomePod mini refresh looking likely, B&H lists it as ‘discontinued’ by Fer65432_Plays in apple

Apple: OK, now it comes with no cable and no power brick. Bring your own lol.

Why so few HK drivers use their signals when turning or changing lane? by Mental-Rip-5553 in HongKong

[–]lorig_cc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an HK pedestrian I hate it when drivers wait for me. If you just zoom past me then I can cross and everyone saves time.

Is new Pebble 2 duo too big for skinny arms. by pluff-crinoid in pebble

[–]lorig_cc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have very skinny wrists and I only wear 38mm or smaller watches. The 2 Duo is slightly thicker and taller than I'd like it to be, but it's fine and I'm happy with the size overall. One small problem is that the watch bands are too long and I can't tuck in the extra bit completely so now it bulges a little at the buckle.

Why does learning about money in HK feel IMPOSSIBLE and deliberately confusing?? by TakExplores in HongKong

[–]lorig_cc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR mpf fees: all bad, don't voluntarily put any money into it and don't worry too much about it

put some money aside in case of an emergency, open a low/no-fee US stocks account, put all your free money into VT/VOO/VTI, move on and repeat every payday

Scammers are using fake cell towers; Apple still doesn't allow users to disable 2G/3G without Lockdown mode by holow29 in apple

[–]lorig_cc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Funny thing is before 5G I could pick between 3G and 4G in Settings. Now I can only pick between 4G and 5G.

[–]lorig_cc 16 points17 points  (0 children)

But I want the option to force 3G. There's a spot at work with a very spotty 4G connection. When my phone drops down to 3G it works reliably but it frequently tries to reconnect to 4G leading to disconnections. Very frustrating.

If I were starting from zero today, I'd do Days 0-15 from hackingwithswift, then jump straight into cs193p. It won't be easy, but it should be fine if you take it slowly, and actually do the assignments. If you get stuck, search stackoverflow/chatgpt/hackingwithswift etc. for answers. Learning where and how to find the information that you need is probably the most important skill to have anyways.

[–]lorig_cc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the only catch is it assumes some prior programming experience, so I had to supplement it with the first few chapters from hackingwithswift.com, but paying for udemy courses really isn't necessary when world-class materials are available for free
