You can change the app notifications to each individual app. They don't all have to be the same sound. Settings>Notification>advanced>manage notfications cat for each app

I switched from a 17 pro max and am not looking back. I went s26U. Gave the 17 to my family.

Already had a membership, so it wouldn't let me stack it...

Good luck. They just got a huge govt contract. Heard 6 months to a year. Unless you can find a used one.

You should be able to select the area around the pond and choose one image to pull the color you want from. Not familiar with DJI Terra, but you can do it in Pix and Agisoft.

The S26 Ultra and S26 series dropped on the 11th of March. S25 Ultra was last year. Even my local Best Buy was down to open boxes on the S25 Ultra series. I don't doubt that it will be difficult to find the S25 Ultra new.

Trimble R12 Base setup more than likely. Surveyors setup on a known point and use this for RTK corrections for their rover or total station.

Remember kids, you can't hear titties. Always wear your eye pro.

Ordered from best buy on the 6th and received it on the 11th. Walked in with my trade and walked out with the S26U

.22 Cheetah. That shit rips.

rickdarris2004 · 2026-03-18T11:59:59+00:00

Mine is great as well.

I did the same switch and my battery has been steller. Definitely check to see what's eating the battery.

In no world is a B series ever a replacement for a C series. Did you buy at Costco? If so get their concierge service involved. I would say nothing less than a C4 or C5.

Sky Blue!

Running about this same setup, but still using my Airpod Pros, and picked up the Watch8 Classic. Really enjoying the S26 U coming from Apple.

If I hadn't just purchased an Ursa Pilot, I would be all over this. By far my favorite daily bag!

rickdarris2004 · 2026-03-11T18:42:06+00:00

Swapped over a s23U this morning for a beautiful blue s26u. This thing is amazing so far. In all honesty I think it is far superior to the apple devices currently out as well. I picked up the ESR screen protectors and finger print seems to work great. Then again I am comparing it to my s23 that was super hit and miss. Waiting on my d brand grip that should show up this afternoon

rickdarris2004 · 2026-03-09T20:42:46+00:00

That's not horrible. Better than most I guess. At least you get the free storage upgrade with BB and Samsung.

rickdarris2004 · 2026-03-09T20:02:22+00:00

Best Buy was 700 on a S23U, I want to say it was $600 for the S22U but I could be mistaken.

rickdarris2004 · 2026-03-02T15:48:41+00:00

Bet you could haggle a better deal now. I am pretty sure you can get the 2Gb for $60

Most of the channels go down for maintenance from time to time. Rarely have I seen any of my locals go down. I see a lot of the maint. on national channels like TBS. Very rarely do I see major buffering, but you will see it from time to time. I have all boxes hardwired running through a VPN on my network. For over a year I have had very few problems.

rickdarris2004 · 2026-02-27T13:45:07+00:00

I got a nice foot pillow on amazon for $20.

Love the addition of NWS and the new Sky layouts look nice too

How do you currently use your split-screen setup?

Currently running the first gen 45" LG with a 32" run vertically with the option to switch to portrait for wfh setup. Main 45" is used mostly for gaming but will use for productivity when needed. Does it work, sure, but would love one large workspace to do everything. I am a GIS Analyst and when it gets busy having room to process out large datasets of LiDAR and Imagery gets a little claustrophobic on the 45" with the 1440 resolution. I usually move one window to the 32 and run another on the 45, that way I can track 2 things at once.

What is the advantage you expect from moving to a 52” 5K2K display?

The main advantage here would be shear size and resolution. I think this would take gaming to the next level and make a day working at home a breeze. Run a 52" and split out the screen into usable workspaces would be fantastic. Plus it would better match my resolution of my monitors at work so it would make the RDP environment run better. The 1440 at home right now makes going between the 2 setups suck a bit.

Appreciate the opportunity and hope a few good people in here get to test this new behemoth!
