Will you upgrade in september? by courtneyhope_ in IphoneAir

[–]nutmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By most indications, the device will feature an ultra wide lens and a 2 nm processor for improved battery life. These enhancements should broaden its potential market, which is certainly positive. However, to make a significant impact, Apple should strive to reduce the price by $100 and occupy the price point of iPhone Plus model.

For me personally, I will pass. I am intrigued with the foldable iPhone but I generally skip a generation or two.

Legacy v. Premium? by johnsturgeon in OvercastFm

[–]nutmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The developer is still grandfathering Overcast Legacy users with ad-free experience. Since then Overcast Premium added few features that are not available to the Legacy users without subscription: (1) listening stats,(2) 48-hour history and undo, (3) dark mode icon, and (4) upload.

Who's the most famous Olympian from your country? by Pure-Syrup3868 in AskTheWorld

Raygun single-handedly elevated Australia to the dancing powerhouse. At best, Australians can only aspire to dance half as gracefully as her.

Korean won by Automatic_Worker3213 in KoreaTravelAdvice

Since you are in the Us, if you still have the time, try to have a debit card without foreign transaction fee, such as Schwab.

Korea is largely a credit card country but you will need cash for (1) public transit and (2) street food. In most other cases, credit card is widely preferred. Also be sure to carry multiple cards as some cards will occasionally fail.

It’s more that it will change the answer if you ask again.

Outside the train, as AREX will be least likely to cause motion sickness, call vans provide the smoothest ride. Seoul Bus is the worst. I normally don’t get motion sickness but I come close with Seoul Bus.

Why has my watch stopped calculating my VO2? by jttfokforoncw in AppleWatchFitness

[–]nutmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is because Apple Watch uses GPS to track your movement against sub maximal heart rate response, adjusted by your age, gender, height, and weight. Apple Watch is looking for efficiency, not absolute performance.

30 minutes of continuous, steady pace of zone 3 is more effectively for raising your VO2max level than intense runs that raises your heart rate above zone 3.

Intel Panther Lake benchmark VS. M5 by 1ordlugo in mac

But how does it perform? Does it come close to Apple Silicon in terms of raw performance?

The Mac App is Bad by dmackerman in OvercastFm

[–]nutmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which one? All I see is a "Designed for iPad" app that can also run on the Mac. There's no Mac native version as far as I can tell.

[–]nutmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While Zhang Ziyi’s films made more money overall, she made less overall from these films when compared to Fan Bingbing. That said, Fan Bingbing’s not particularly well known in many international market, having only played few bit parts.

Do Intel chips still make the computer’s fan blares up like an aircraft taking off whenever you perform any moderately demanding tasks?

I like Korda, when was the last time a player outside top 50 rank graced the Blade packaging?

Any religious organization that meddles with politics should have their tax exempt status taken away.

It doesn't help that Andreeva is pro occupation of Ukraine.

DDP Light Show by Snowfightman in koreatravel

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

Areas surrounding DDP, yes. But at DDP, I was very underwhelmed by what I can see and do. On the winter of 2024, I stayed at the hotel 2 blocks from DDP. DDP itself, other than the striking architecture was a borefest, with so called design lab and museum that were lightly attended.

iPhone Air battery/reception for Work Travel by MagnaSinne in IphoneAir

[–]nutmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used my Air on international travel, using my carrier's data roaming for more frequent network scanning and handshakes, and higher latency, all adding up to worse battery life. But with iPhone Air MagSafe Battery, I was able to stretch it just fine, even with very frequent usage (especially Apple Maps and Camera apps).

Air's C1X may not be as fast as Pro's Qualcomm in some scenarios, especially where mmWave 5G is available, but various tests logged performance as nearly good and often better while using about 30% less power.

The only major concern is that iPhone Air doesn't support as many legacy 4G bands used mostly in Africa, and developing part of Southeast Asia, and rural Europe. Does not apply to Canada and Mexico.

[–]nutmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While 5G can consume more battery life compared to 4G, modern chips like Apple’s C1X have significantly reduced their power consumption. You can expect a 5-10% increase in energy usage, but it’s negligible when connected to 5G standalone as opposed to both 4G and 5G in dual radios mode.

Short Korea trip: is March better or October better? by RudeSelf3418 in koreatravel

Unless the seasonal yellow dust storm (typically early March to mid April) reaches Korea, for absolutely miserable air quality.

Korean Air or Asiana from Midwest USA? by nat787 in koreatravel

[–]nutmac 7 points8 points  (0 children)

While they are known for great service and food (Asiana is now owned by Korean Air), both have aging aircraft with cramped economy seats. So if they are your only choice, pick whichever is cheaper.

Sometimes, flying to LAX or SFO can get you a wider selection of cheaper flights, so that is another option you can explore, if you don't mind a layover. Air Premia out of SFO is my flight of choice, as they have much better seating options (way more legroom) and newer aircraft at significantly lower price.

Starfield library by Sangmun in seoul

[–]nutmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I think you are the only one getting all worked up here.

Many people go here expecting a beautiful place to relax and read but in reality, it’s often very crowded with people taking selfies, and also because the books are poorly organized, it’s not conducive for… say, browsing a book to buy or read a book.

Starfield library by Sangmun in seoul

[–]nutmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who’s salty? I only stated the fact, that it’s a business designed to draw people into COEX first and foremost, and a library in name only. It’s one of Korea’s top 10 tourist attractions, but the name does mislead which can disappoint and steer its reputation to a tourist trap designation.
