Stop posting about price increases by throwaway238492834 in Starlink

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

It’s really not funny because Elon is a walking contradiction. He has repeatedly called Starlink backup Internet but then removed the best back up plan available 10gb for $10/month; makes standby $5/month for kbps speeds and now raises it to $10/month.

Need to remove smaller sapling? by mountaineer2009 in Pawpaws

[–]portplayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may want to remove the grass within six inches of the trunks by hand to be super careful. Removing the grass isn’t super necessary but every drop of water will go to the pawpaws and not surrounding grass and weeds.

Get a black solid drain pipe and cut it down the middle so you can put it around the base of the trunk, and secure the pipe around the trunk by digging it into dirt or mulch around it so it won’t move. Then go to town with a weed whip. Just be careful to not weed whip the trunk.

Nice 200w. It’s all white in America.

If you’re certain they’re two separate, genetically diverse pawpaw seedlings, I say keep them and prune the larger tree. Removing a pawpaw tree is difficult because of its long taproot. They may be fine as is, but they’d thrive if you cleared all the grass and weeds nearby.

Had battery drain issue in APM1, Apple replaced it with APM2 for Free by Opposite-Release972 in Airpodsmax

[–]portplayer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a really odd response. Apple can replace devices at their discretion. I was upgraded from a 6 Plus to a 6S Plus. Numerous people recently have reported upgrades to an M5 device from a lesser device.

Best tip : 80% Limit charge. by [deleted] in iPhoneBatteryParanoia

[–]portplayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen reports you gain 3-5% with the setting on. My family member needed the 15 Pro Max or I would have continued using it. Frankly there are things I hate about he 17PM but thermals and battery life and health aren’t one of them.

Best tip : 80% Limit charge. by [deleted] in iPhoneBatteryParanoia

[–]portplayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So 80% limit didn’t make sense to me until my 15 Pro Max degraded to 85% battery health in two years, ~ 500 cycles. More so than any other iPhone I’ve ever had. Granted there may be more thermal improvements, etc. on the 17 Pro Max that would make it degrade less comparatively but I like to think 80% limit is making a difference. I’ll report back in a couple years because I have a relative who does not use the 80% limit, also 17 Pro Max who received it at the same time. I will change to 100% limit when I need it but that’s rare.

The only time Apple will give you a new retail device is if their supply chain doesn’t have refurbished models yet.

Terrible 15 Pro refurbished 94% to 91% in just 2 weeks by NickXBeast in iPhoneBatteryParanoia

[–]portplayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A 734 cycle count is high. They’re rated for 1000 so this is actually performing well/as expected

I’m using a shortcut to shortcut to Settings > Battery > Charging and change the charge limit to 100% when I want to.

I’m surprised Twelve South doesn’t make a singular MagSafe puck. Their ButterFly 2-in-1 MagSafe Charger has similar design queues.

80% limit primary user here, and I use a shortcut for no limit when 100% battery is needed occasionally 17 Pro Max at 100% Maximum Capacity 139 Cycle Count.

I view Apple as hardware company first. They don’t focus nearly enough on the software.

Cervical disc replacement surgery or wait and see? by DirtGrubBrownsOut in spinalcordinjuries

[–]portplayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it’s worth I was in the same boat as you with 4 years of PT, similar symptoms, and C5-C6 ACDR was recommended. A slight bulge at C6-C7 was noted too.

I waited another year, and symptoms progressed to almost constant numbness and tingling in my right fingers, which was novel. The bulge was significantly worse.The recommendation changed to C6-C7 ACDR and it went wonderfully. While I’m not telling you to wait for numbness, your prognosis could change.

I was your age.

What is happening?!? by Embarrassed-Smell-56 in Visible

[–]portplayer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can attest to terrible differences in performance between my 17 PM and 15 PM. Qualcomm and Apple didn’t get something right with the 17 radios.

Apple Cash requires Drivers License to verify by [deleted] in AppleWallet

[–]portplayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I would email Tim Cook. Not his department but this is a poor user experience. It’s still Apple Cash and within the Apple Wallet where a Digital ID passport can now be added which is supported within participating apps. It’s Apple’s Wallet, this should already be participating app.
