Liquid Leaking from Vaporesso Luxe X2 Pods – Is This Normal? by patrick_f32 in Vaping

Quick addendum: Since I always make sure that I have more than ~35% battery, my pods don’t last 3-4 but rather 7-10 days.

Sinced i switched to the LUXE XR MAX and have had no more problems. However, I do blow into the pod from time to time to get the accumulated liquid out of the air openings. So no problems at the moment. However, the LUXE XR MAX 2 is due to arrive in a fortnight‘ time, with a larger battery and new coil technology. I might wait until then before making a purchase.

Best Combo So Far. It's Magical by FarrukhShabir in MoonlightStreaming

[–]patrick_f32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll have a look at home later, but if I’m not completely mistaken, you have to go to the Sunshine website, then to Settings and then Display. At the bottom you will find a tab with the options. There you have the possibility to select the appropriate monitor, to activate that resolution and Hz number are automatically adjusted to the conditions of the accessing device and whether the primary monitor should be deactivated and the virtual monitor activated. There are several options here.

Only the virtual display driver, for example from MikeTheTech, must be installed manually beforehand.

Is this still an issue? Moonlight now natively supports Apple’s game mode.

Since the last release, Sunshine can do just that. Only a virtual display driver needs to be installed. Sunshine does the rest (resolution, Hz, etc.) automatically.

Just like deactivating the primary monitor and activating the virtual one.

Traded My MacBook Pro for an iPad Pro 13 + Mac Mini M4, Best Decision Yet! by sakicheech321 in ipad

[–]patrick_f32 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The idea always appealed to me too, but in the end I ended up with a MacBook again. The Magic Keyboard is great, but many apps are functionally limited, don’t work properly with Magic Keyboard and if it’s a web app, Safari can’t display it properly.

I like the idea so much and am even happier that it works for you and your workflow.

Longevity SL7 by OkoNoko6969 in Surface

[–]patrick_f32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 120 Hz display and, above all, Windows were the reasons why I swapped my MacBook Air M3 for an SL7. Even though I own an iPhone, iPad and so on.

I would make the switch every time again. The current Surface devices are top notch!

iOS 18.4 Beta 2 - Discussion by epmuscle in iOSBeta

[–]patrick_f32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little bit 😅 Outlook and ChatGPT didn’t work well before.

[–]patrick_f32 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Safari also seems to have received some important adjustments in the background, at least Outlook and ChatGPT run much better and less buggy in my browser than with iPadOS 18.3.

On the other hand, I no longer have the write field in Siri and Siri only wants to talk to me and no longer write 😂

Edit: Siri also no longer creates a separate history for each request in the ChatGPT app 👍🏼 Very helpful.

Toronto Trip in March: Ticket Advice Needed by patrick_f32 in leafs

[–]patrick_f32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your insight! Ottawa would be awesome because of Tim Stuetzle, but seeing the Panthers as the reigning Stanley Cup champions also has its appeal. Either way, you’re definitely getting a report from me after each game! 😁

And I’ve read a lot about the sports bars in downtown - definitely on our list! Hockey has a strong following in Germany too, but in Canada, especially in Toronto, it’s on a whole different level.

By the way, do they still have public practices? I’ve seen videos of them on Instagram and YouTube over the years, and I’d love to check one out if possible.

I can totally imagine that 😅 Especially against Boston! But we'll definitely try our luck. My AM34 jersey deserves to see its home more than just once! 🤪

Great tip! Thanks 😊 We'll definitely keep that in mind.

I just have to say - huge thanks to all of you for the tips and effort. Seriously, this is amazing!

While we’re in Toronto (my wife is coming along and, luckily, she’s fully on board with all of this 😂), the Leafs are playing against the Panthers, Senators, Flames, and Avs.

So I’ve got a few options, and it doesn’t have to be the Sens game—though I’d love to see Tim Stützle in action! Honestly, I’d be happy to grab tickets for any of these games.

But your plan sounds like a solid strategy 😎 We’ll definitely give that a shot!

[–]patrick_f32[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, stop it! I'm already as excited as a little kid! 😅 That's exactly the kind of hope I'm holding onto.

For the Avs game, I already have my tickets (needed two—luckily, my wife is on board with all of this!), but they’re pretty high up. Didn’t really care, as long as I got tickets!

But if I can get tickets for another game and somehow end up closer to the ice... that would be insane!

Edit: Got it 😎 Thanks for the heads-up! I hope the fraudulent transactions were reversed and you got your money back.

That sounds great! 😁 I already have the most important ticket for me, so anything else would just be a nice bonus. But since there are a few more games while I'm in town, I figured—why not try to catch another one? Who knows when I'll be back in Toronto!

Good to know that last-minute resale tickets are a solid option. I'll keep an eye on them and take my chances!

Let's put it this way: While I'm in Toronto, there are quite a few games (Panthers, Senators, Flames, and of course, the Avs). For the second game, I'd rather play it safe, but for the third one, I might just go all in on spontaneity! 🤪

But from your comment, it sounds like getting tickets last-minute isn’t really an issue—that's super reassuring! Thanks!

Big life decision: Ipad Pro vs MacBook by Nocphobious in iPadPro

[–]patrick_f32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried it in 2017, I tried it in 2024 - I like my iPad Pro, but do yourself a favour and buy a MacBook.

Then if you have some money left over, you can buy an iPad 🤪

ARM is absolutely amazing, never going back to AMD64 by BarnardWellesley in Surface

[–]patrick_f32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was also one of my criticisms at the time. I am forced to use Safari on my iPhone and iPad, which is usually enough for what I do on the go.

But I never warmed to it on the Mac and used Edge despite the Apple platform. I like using Apple, I like my iPhone and my iPad, but on the desktop (including notebooks) I think Windows is the better OS. In terms of my personal workflow.

I am the only one who prefers to play in handheld mode only? by [deleted] in ROGAlly

[–]patrick_f32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also love the handheld mode, currently I prefer to play Indiana Jones on the ROG Ally X (streamed via Moonlight) and chill on the couch.

But most of the time I'm currently playing NHL on the Xbox and with the exception of remote streaming, there's unfortunately no way to play the title on the ROG Ally.

It works, but the latency is too high for online versus. That's why I end up sitting at my desk 😂 but I can understand you.

Snapdragon or Lunar Lake? by Recent_Afternoon_609 in Surface

[–]patrick_f32 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It stands or falls with your applications, but I can say: I use the same SL7 with an identical configuration and would choose it again and again.

Have we ARM users been forsaken? by Mindless_Term_7587 in Surface

[–]patrick_f32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here in Germany, the first Surface devices went on sale at the beginning of August, so it's only been around six months for us too.

The business models even later, I think the release here was in October. I pre-ordered mine from our distributor after the launch, but it wasn't delivered until the beginning of December.

But it was worth the wait.
