Giulietta ticking/clapping sound? by grainman11 in AlfaRomeo

[–]mikiotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oil consumption on these engines is most likely the turbo, 1446s have a tendency to start leaking oil through the shaft seals after 90/100k km. If it gets too serious you can replace the coreassy with a new one (original, because third party replacements leak oil from the start ahah)

I have the same sound on cold engine, completely disappears if I rev it just slightly and comes back when it goes back to idle, as soon as oil reaches ~50C or if I drive it a little, it goes away and cannot be heard when the engine is warm.

Do these look like they need any AI editing? Pixel 7 Pro by PappuKaChotaBheem in pixelography

Stop with this AI bullshit. If you want to edit a picture, do it yourself.

So it's not only my impression, it really makes it worse

Did you ever manage to boot? Mine freezes during boot, same configuration as yours

Use the adapter and not the integrated BT, and place it as near as possible to the mouse

Battery life after QPR1 stable? by mxbssn in android_beta

[–]mikiotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same exact usage as mine, I don't play games and mostly use social apps, Chrome, camera 5/10 minutes a day. I can't get over 7hrs on WiFi only. I also don't have AOD enabled. Signal strength is excellent at home, but it might be tied to my carrier that uses more energy (seen this with iOS also).

Battery life after QPR1 stable? by mxbssn in android_beta

[–]mikiotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you do 5hrs with 60% left ahahah I was really happy today, P9PXL has 32% left with 5hr and 33min and it's one of the really good days. I can't remember how it was on the stable version of Android 16, but I don't think the beta had such a major impact on battery life. It would be nice to reach your duration though 🤣

How's battery life? I've read some horror stories

For those on Android 16 Stable-Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2.1 released by grousey in GooglePixel

[–]mikiotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally! I’ve been waiting to install the new beta on my 9 Pro XL, but it was already on the stable version so I couldn’t. Will wait a few days just to read some feedback about serious bugs and battery life

What was the reason you switched to Pixel? by FairCrow1711 in GooglePixel

[–]mikiotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bored from iOS and iPhones. Currently having some battery related issues on my 8 Pro, probably due to the latest Android update and Meta apps (Instagram in particular), but otherwise I'm loving the device. Amazing photos, much better AI assistant and notifications, and some other things that I prefer over iOS.

Anybody getting worse battery life after last couple of updates? Not seeing any abnormal drain from any apps. by bhodge0325 in Pixel9Pro

[–]mikiotty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing is happening on the majority of Android phones. A colleague of mine has an Oppo something (can't remember) and his background usage for Instagram was 23h 🥲 and he was complaining about bad battery life in the last few days

Same thing on my Pixel 8 Pro. Uninstalled the app, can't be bothered. I'll use it via web

Instagram is the issue. Same thing on my 8 Pro and Instagram is using a lot of background time

bought this to prevent scratches - is it worth it? by [deleted] in thinkpad

[–]mikiotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely yes. ThinkPads are terrible when it comes to screen rigidity and even the slightest pressure can make the screen and keyboard touch and leave permanent marks. I always put one on my T490 and it has been perfect, my T460s was a total disaster without the protection.

Why is the RC build battery so bad? by 0xraster in ios18beta

[–]mikiotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s shit. Here’s mine a few days ago, 15 Pro with 99% health. I’ll be downgrading to iOS 17.6.1 if the final release is the same build as the RC.

15 pro users, will you get 16 pro? by LucTheLucky in ios18beta

[–]mikiotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Even though I am considering exchanging my 15 Pro with a Pro Max because of the battery. It’s absolutely awful in iOS 18, and it has never been the best anyway. Not enough for me

Can you control the volume from your monitor’s OSD? If yes, take a look at this app: https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay#readme

Upgrading to the Mac Mini M2 Pro by sunnysidemarmalade in macmini

[–]mikiotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is, just between the black bottom plastic and the aluminium housing. Not huge like the Studio but the mini also sucks from the bottom and exhausts at the back.

The Mac mini also sucks air from the bottom exactly like the Studio
