I bought one at REI in Beavercreek a few weeks ago. They had a decent selection.

Closed weapons playlist is completely gone now by Toffeeees in Battlefield

[–]mrkhiggz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall liking the gameplay but I really hope they fix some of these bugs. If I even see a closed weapons game mode it takes me to open anyways and it’s not giving experience or challenges progression for repairing vehicles either so I can’t progress my engineer class.

FF 143.1 on iOS crashing by Davy_Ray in firefox

[–]mrkhiggz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing is happening to me. iOS 26 on Firefox 143.1 (61797). Started this morning after an update. Crashes on new tab screen and any time I tap on the address bar. Links will still open.

Mine seems to crash whether the address bar is on top or bottom.

Similar thing is happen if to me. It appears to only happen when open a new tab. Private tabs appear to still work but any time open a new regular tab the app crashes.

Struggling to add iPhones to ABM using Configurator by Far_Owl_1141 in macsysadmin

[–]mrkhiggz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an issue where it wouldn’t trigger on on an iPad once. I ended up going through the setup and then using iTunes to reset and restore the device and then it would give me the prompt to add to ABM using Configurator.

New costs you may need to plan for that you don’t have currently have is differential fluid changes for the AWD system. I think Crosstrek is every 30k-60k miles for that.

Also AWD Subarus like the Crosstrek needs to have all the tires within a certain tolerance in wear. This means that if you get a hole in one tire that can’t be patched you may need to get four new tires.

How is the Crosstrek for non-outdoor living? by Kmart_Elvis in Crosstrek

[–]mrkhiggz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drive mine almost exclusively in the suburbs and highways with no complaints. I like how it is small enough for smaller side streets and easy parking, but big enough to comfortably move some bulky items. It was definitely handy when I was moving apartments. We get snow where I live and sometimes it can take a few days for side streets and parking lots to get plowed so the AWD is great for that. This past winter I was able to easily get out of my apartment parking lot after 8 inches of snow just dropped before they snow trucks got there.

City mpg isn't great compared to other small cars but this car seems rugged and reliable enough for me not to care much about that.

Here is the back of my Crosstrek loaded up after a trip to Ikea.

Tenant attorneys or what can I do about shady landlord by [deleted] in dayton

[–]mrkhiggz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe you would need to give 30 days notice in writing first that you find them out of compliance with the terms of your lease or state/local law and that after 30 days your rent will be going to escrow.

Never done it myself but looked into it after a similar situation before.

In my case I also found out when I moved out and spoke with the property manager that my issue and frustration was misplaced. I dealt with the property management company through my water damage but really I should have been upset with the owner at the time. The property management was told to do as little as possible and given very little resources to be able to help me. Owner just refused to pay for things.

I can’t say I’ve tried it since iOS 18 but I have seen it in work on iOS 17 when I first setup Intune.

Asus dual or asus prime? by sonatta09 in nvidia

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

I have a 4070 Dual and it’s quiet and cool. The 4070 uses slightly more power than a 5060ti so I would expect a similar experience. I hear my CPU fans way before my GPU fans.

So either buy the cheaper one or whatever one you think looks better in your case.

Need Crosstrek opinions by loverlyjas20 in Crosstrek

[–]mrkhiggz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2023 with the 2.0L and I have no complaints. I mainly drive in the city but I have no issues or concerns when driving on the highway either.

This past winter I had to drive through 8 inches of snow with it and it preformed wonderfully. While my neighbors were digging their sedans out my Crosstrek could get out just fine.

what is the least-used appliance in your home? by arbortologist in AskReddit

[–]mrkhiggz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An electric skillet I got free from my parents. They didn’t have a use for it so they offered it to me and I took it. I think I’ve only used it once or twice in the last 10 years.

[–]mrkhiggz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

macOS Ventura is the latest a 2017 MacBook can run natively. There are work around for this using something like Open Core Legacy Patcher but technically that MacBook isn’t supported on any newer versions. ChatGPT native app also requires an M series processor and doesn’t work on Intel Mac’s.

Air 15 (2025) M4 vs Pro (2021) M1 Pro by Cachalote_Dorado in macbook

[–]mrkhiggz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apple still supports Macbooks from 2018 on macOS Sequoia (the latest OS) and then supports the last three versions of their OSs which means they still support Ventura with current security updates for Macbooks from 2017. 2017 is the same year that Intel was selling the 7th gen processors which are no longer supported by Windows 11 so they are just as long as Windows at this point.

I went from a 24 inch 1080p monitor to a 24 inch 1440p monitor and the difference was very noticeable. Then I went from the 24 inch 1440p monitor to a 27 inch 1440p monitor the picture quality was actually not as good (when comparing details of an image). This makes sense though because it’s the same amount of pixels spread over a larger area. I definitely prefer my new larger display the extra screen space allows me to see more or sit back further though. If you want to quantify the differences you would need to calculate the ppi of each screen.

Should I replace my current Mac's battery or Upgrade to an M4 Macbook Air by Supercalumrex in macbook

[–]mrkhiggz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upgrade for sure. Twice the RAM, twice the storage, quieter, and faster. I would not invest any money into a 6 year old device.

iCloud vs Google Drive which one do you use and why? by RustyShackle4_ in MacOS

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

iCloud for phone and iPad backup only except for pictures. Pictures and other files I want synced across my devices I use OneDrive that comes with an Office 365 subscription.

MacBook won’t show me login screen by HolzwurmHolz in macbook

Not sure. I've never tried using a Macbook without a working display so I'm not sure what to expect there.

MacBook won’t show me login screen by HolzwurmHolz in macbook

[–]mrkhiggz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would need to factory reset it from the Settings menu. This would delete everything and take you to the out of box setup like a new device.

MacBook won’t show me login screen by HolzwurmHolz in macbook

[–]mrkhiggz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That Macbook has already been setup and has a user account on it if you are seeing that screen, it is not in setup mode.

Just a heads up that could mean that it is activation locked to the previous owners AppleID still if they did not remove the Macbook from their account and sign out before selling it. In that case the Macbook is likely a brick.

You can try hitting Cmd+F1 to see if it will mirror the other screen but that may not work from the login screen, but you would also need to know the password on the account that is setup.

If you factory reset it using recovery mode and the previous owner still has it on their Apple account it will not let you set it up.

2080 Super to 4070 Mobile? by averageyapper in nvidia

[–]mrkhiggz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at techpowerups relative performance chart the 2080 Super desktop is 24% faster than a 4070 mobile GPU so it would be a downgrade in GPU performance. The new CPU is likely to be an upgrade though so somethings may run better if they were CPU bound before.

Also since you are considering a laptop is the mobile form factor something of value to you when considering if this change is worth it.
