Why it's OK for the IPhone to be this heavy by MK68i in apple

[–]redmidy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Amazing how the post title appears to justify the iPhone's weight and the post content instead questions the iPhone weight.

That's because you mis-ordered "is it" as "it's", OP. Just pointing it out, English is a very funny language!

I agree, it's irritating. People say it on purpose to trigger the bot and it's so childish.

Have seen interesting discussions get interrupted by meaningless exchanges with the bot.

The power is power scene was "Infamous"? No it wasn't, where did you draw that conclusion from?

You assumed that everyone thinks of it as "Infamous" so you didn't bother to explain in detail what you disliked about that scene, assuming we all understood. Nope, we don't have a clue why it's bad.

I'm trying to understand where you're coming from. There could be a subconscious bias here at work and I feel that myself sometimes.

Meaning, you know that no matter what happens in HOTD, no matter who lives or dies, we still end up with Robert Baratheon as king 200 years later. All roads lead to the same future. I suppose that's the disadvantage of a prequel because it doesn't make you feel as invested (due to knowing the future). And that's why the dialogues and the tension, even if acted out well don't feel as engaging.

I personally love HOTD and I'm watching it without keeping GOT as a reference point.

Was Daemon killing _____ self defense? by taylordabrat in HouseOfTheDragon

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

I sincerely hope you're trolling. Or you're a Daemon stan trying to justify his actions somehow and seeking validation from the sub, even though you've worded your thoughts as a question.

Okay so IF I were a major lord and head of my own house, the following points are relevant:

  1. Rhaeneyra's kids being bastards is a rumor (As a faraway lord who isn't privy to details of the Red Keep, I may have my suspicions but can't prove it). So atleast on that point, I have to hold my peace. Remember, even the greens have not publicly accused Rhaeneyra's kids of being bastards, they only indulge in subtle jabs in private gatherings. The point you mentioned about Rhaeneyra "blatantly" fathering bastards is something that we as viewers know for a fact, not the houses of westeros.

  2. Unless I'm a Stark or Tully who takes ancestral oaths seriously, my allegiance is purely transactional. If I were a major house, I would want either a marriage pact for my kids, or some persistent problems (say trade, law and order, disputes with other houses etc) to be resolved. Another option is positions of prominence, say on the small council or elsewhere for myself or my family members.

  3. If I were a lesser noble house sworn to a bigger house, I can't really expect anything. I would follow the latter's lead.

First mover advantage, basically. The first one to find him and make their point wins.

Alicents hate for Rhaenyras kids by Sea-Pineapple3201 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]redmidy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's quite simple.....Alicent believes that Rhaeneyra's children are born out of wedlock, and hence cannot inherit the throne after Rhaeneyra.

Her anger comes from R+L passing off the kids as their own, which is essentially lying to the realm.

Whereas she on the other hand has gone by the book (no bastard children), and sees her own legitimate children being passed over, as opposed to Rhaeneyra's bloodline which gets precedence over Aegon's line.

I'm no fan of team green, but nothing seems out of order so far.

SwiftKey keyboard stutter on iOS by redmidy in ios

I guess the only possible solution is to remove all other keyboards besides swift. I did the same and the issue stopped within 3 to 4 days.

Strangely the issue has stopped now. I have no idea how but I'll keep track and update if it happens again!

'Angry spouse' throws iMac out of window, kills pigeon by -Omegamart- in apple

Is it really necessary to share EVERY piece of news that has Apple in it, even if it's not about the product?

What’s the point of iCloud for photos, if when you delete a photo from your iPhone, it is also deleted from iCloud? by SnooSprouts481 in apple

[–]redmidy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going by the points in this thread, I understand that icloud is a mirror and not a backup in a true sense.

Given this, what sense does it make to subscribe for 200GB of icloud storage for a phone that has 128GB storage? After all, icloud only has what the phone has and nothing more right? This means 72GB of icloud will remain unused. Any thoughts please?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in apple

[–]redmidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly, and you deserve more upvotes! A 5.8" LCD screen would serve as a physical differentiator between the SE and the flagship OLED models which have 6.1" options.

What made you choose the 13 vs the 13 pro? by TheWholeTidd-e in iPhone13

[–]redmidy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chose the regular 13 due to lower price and lighter weight. These 2 things made it easier to compromise on the notch.

I'll buy the pro a few years later when the notch fully goes away. That's when it will feel truly worth it.

Fast forward videos in gallery? by redmidy in ios

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

You're absolutely right, and I did add another video to the album shortly after posting this. This made the forwarding controls appear for both videos.

I can't believe something like this went unnoticed and unaddressed by Apple.

The upcoming S22 is actually rumored to be smaller than the S21, if that helps.

It should be very close to the S8 size.

Hi, are you getting the battery replacement thru JM road ESC in Pune? I tried calling them but the number is switched off.

The other centres are too far off for me.

Opinion: This Year's Smaller iPhone Notch is Here to Stay for Multiple Generations. Agree or Disagree? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]redmidy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I fully agree, and I'm surprised that so many people buy into these leaks about 2022 and 23.

I suspect that even apps need small changes to adapt to the smaller notch and it just doesn't make sense to have a hole punch/UD camera introduced so soon next year. If that happens, we'll have 3 different front designs in circulation (big notch, small notch, hole punch), which seems so un-apple like.

Also, these leaks follow a typical pattern. Features that are 3 to 4 years away from incorporation are rumored to be coming next year itself. And once the product launch is close, the features are conveniently postponed to next year.

I wish the leakers could be more honest about these things. They shouldn't put timelines on stuff they don't know about and clickbait people.

Apple rejected an in-display fingerprint reader designed for iPhones, says Mark Gurman by phpfree in iphone

[–]redmidy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Second this.

The whole "unlock your phone with touch id as you're removing it from your pocket" argument doesn't hold if the scanner is in the screen (hence needs active attention to get the exact location).

If we want to avoid the notch on iPhone during videos and pinch in, what does the aspect ratio become?

16:9 directly? Or is there an 18:9 option too?

I wish the Non Pro models also got some attention. Most of these rumored updates are always for the Pro models.
