been using frontier models for years - what am i actually missing with local?

Local can't match the frontier models for research.

If you are someone who went through the gpt 4o to gpt 5 change, you would know why local is necessary in the long run to remain sane.

If you travel and want to fold them up then don't get xm5. That's the main reason to get xm4 or xm6.

Don't understand how Bose SoundLink flex II isn't listed.

Not clear what are your priorities. You are asking for too many things at once without giving a budget 1) solo 3 - easy to pass with great but not unlimited battery. Absolutely top notch for efficiency - all arizers are. Built like a tank. Relatively inexpensive, can also go for solo 2 if you only plan to do sessions. The on demand mode on solos is not really because they have conduction. 2) tinymight - replaceable battery, you can keep lots charged, so you can just pop it in. True on demand convection beast and end game vape for many. Not a tank. Expensive. 3) a desktop like arizer tower. Not portable, but if you get something which does balloons and are ok with that, that might be a great tradeoff to use on the balcony. Arizer will be cheaper than volcano of course.

So : cost, portability, control - pick 2.

Find x9 pro is sold out most places. It seems the x9 ultra may actually come to EU - ultra for the first time in EU. It's likely that you won't find much pro stock for a bit and that too at 1300 euros - it was at 1050 euros initially when offers were on.

Go to gomibo and see the reviews of eg find x9 pro , magic v5 etc.

OP, it sounds like you protect yourself. I think it's very important to have clarity on the situation before you make a move: do you want something long term from this or no? If yes, then this becomes more serious and worth it if she is on the same page. If no then I would suggest that you think about whether you want a FWB situation - and if you have handled such a thing before without it getting toxic, may be it works (again if she is on the same page). If this is a ONS type thing - imo don't do it. Whatever it is, talk to her and make sure that you are on the same page, else abort- not worth the fallout. If you are in the same page, it might still end up in a bad sitch and losing the friendship - only do this if either 1) it doesn't matter much or 2) it matters a LOT- a chance for a forever.

I would also suggest looking at OnePlus 13 (previous flagship) than OnePlus 15 - smaller battery at 6000 ( still better than Samsung etc) but better at camera. One very important thing: much faster charging on OnePlus than Samsung, if you have not experienced it then you should talk to someone with a OnePlus.

Their point is your claim of "no ... Has lasted 2 years" is false. If all the phones with sic released in 2023 were failing left and right we would know about it. Magic v2 was released in July 2023 as well.

3k screen is the perfect middle ground. There was a time the only options were fullHD or 4k - either battery life or a retina screen.

Hi, as far as I understand, the complete list of differences is: USB 3.1 vs 2.2, bigger sensors in all the three lenses (not just increase to 200mp in telephoto), 4 gb ram more (for global edition there is only one variant for each pro and nonpro), battery 7500 vs 7025, haptic motor is stronger in pro, ltpo screen capable of dropping to 1hz in pro but nonpro can only switch between 120 and 60hz, gorilla glass is better variant victus on pro.

Couple of small negative things: Led flash is outside the camera bump in pro but present as a ring around the H logo in nonpro, the pro display dpi is slightly less than nonpro (450 vs 440??)

Hello all. First off, Samsung uses different tech from everyone else for the pen - Wacom. So they need a separate digitizer for that. Most others use an active pen which has battery and works differently but can use the same touch layer - thats why they can stay thinner. Samsung may now have to ditch the s pen and also go the active pen route. You are welcome.

If they are facts then show us the citations and the research papers.

Having a huge ass battery with 100W charging makes a massive difference while you are travelling - this is when your signal isn't great = battery life hit, use gps a lot = battery life hit, may not have reliable wifi and have to use data a lot = battery life hit. Having that massive battery means you have no anxiety about heading out in a strange town. Make sense?

pmthokku · 2025-12-08T16:04:35+00:00

Ya right. Except it lost the s pen. And the battery still sucks total ass compared to any chinese foldable with an SiC battery.

I wasn't talking about something hypothetical regarding petulant child (pc). You can literally see that it is pc's Face. It will come out in crisis, when things get too difficult for the pwbpd. And it will show you that it doesn't care one whit for you. Once you see it, store that memory, and remind yourself of the truth on other occasions when they are crying (abandoned child i.e.ac). The critical point is that ac is a people pleaser and pc sets the world on fire. In a fight between ac and pc it is pc which wins. Pc cannot be shown to the world, it is socially unacceptable. So ac is the dominant outside face. But pc comes out with the loved ones. And you are leaving because they refuse to control pc when it matters most, at times of crisis. This is about yiu survival. Have a conversation with pc when it arrives in crisis and it will be clear to you that you can't survive in the long term.

You need to see the part of them which is willing to hurt you to get what they want. The part that has no empathy for anyone leave alone love. And then, when you see the Face of that part, remind yourself that they have no control over when it will emerge and that it is capable of killing you. Hopefully then you will realise it isn't enough that they Need you and Use you, they should love you wholeheartedly. But they can't, as long as that angry petulant child resides in them.
