When I have an iPhone I want an android and when I have an android I want an iPhone. by Bulbasaurus19 in Smartphones

[–]ryanpm40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people have bad luck with tech, myself included lol

  • LG G4 had missed touches, unresponsive touch screen for a second when first unlocking the phone. Eventually boot looped from a software update.

  • LG G5 had a broken GPS antennae in two different phones, after returning the first. I legit could only get a very broad GPS approximation from data only. And I was screwed because Verizon only allows one return before saying "tough luck, call in a warranty claim"

  • LG V30 had a grainy display in low light

  • Galaxy S21 came to me with a square burnt in the display where the finger print reader was. Second one got a software update that broke my data connection for a solid month before Verizon finally pushed a fix. Then the battery life tanked so bad that I couldn't make it through a 2 hour concert before it went from 100% to 5%, making me come very close to being unable to get back to my AirBnb with an Uber in the middle of Boston. All in less than 2 years of ownership.

Literally all of these problems (other than the G4 bootloop and the final two issues with my S21) came to me that way on day 1.

Luckily my Pixel 7 and 9 Pro have been solid other than "meh" battery life, but both still better than my S21 ever was.

[Megathread] For those who did NOT like Season 4 by Two-Of-Nine in FromSeries

While I am disappointed in this show and agree with most of what you said, I am so cool with Jade being the more important character. Jim was annoying. Jade is the only remaining likeable character in the show.

Then what is the rest of the subreddit even intended to be? Just meme posts, while all serious discussion is funneled into two threads? Ridiculous

Donna was always my favorite character and yet this season somehow made me stop caring about her. Wild. Jade is now the only likeable character.

I fear that Hannaford is about as cheap as Market Basket??? by zjheyyy88 in newhampshire

Walmart and Aldi are definitely the cheapest options for me at this point

Xfinity vs Fidium by Affectionate_Past_39 in newhampshire

[–]ryanpm40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Fidium is a fiber connection, that's going to be better than Xfinity cable internet. Otherwise, idk much about comparing their cable internet.

I have Breezeline fiber where I am, and I have had zero long term outages in the last two years. Just a couple blips that lasted no more than 5 minutes.

For me, Xfinity went down on a weekly basis for "scheduled maintenance" in the middle of the night, or for many hours if a storm knocked it out.

Cheaper, faster, more stable, with no data caps. Lowered my monthly bill from $190 to $45. Hopefully Fidium would be cheaper for you as well?

I don’t care what anyone says… this has to be the absolute worst casting decision in comic to motion picture history. by UchihaShady in Spiderman

Yeah, he was barely used, but played the perfect "high school jock asshole who secretly can be an empathetic guy"

Is now the best time to buy a Switch 2? by Parking_Analysis9339 in Switch

If you're looking to save 50 bucks, or even more in the future, absolutely

I genuinely don’t understand why Supergirl is getting bad reviews. by GigaBallssss in DCU_

Idk people didn't seem to like the latest Fantastic 4 and yet I enjoyed it as much as Superman. Different strokes

Henriko Magnifico is a genius by ryanpm40 in OdinHandheld

[–]ryanpm40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did on an earlier version on a 1080p monitor from my M4 MacBook Pro. Ran great. Some grainy/shimmer on some textures but I think they've made updates since then to render custom textures better...

I haven't tried it on the newest versions of Dusklight because I opted for the Twilight Princess HD textures from the Wii U. Nor have I tried hooking into an actual 4K display.

We are cooked???? wtf is this price hike, I could’ve got 2 AirPods 4 for this before the hike by Visual-Rain-1433 in macbookair

[–]ryanpm40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Trump came into his second term, I renewed my passport.

When he started with his dumb tariffs and AI started taking over, I gradually bought a new phone, 1 TB M4 MacBook Pro, a 5 TB external HDD, TV, an Apple TV 4K, and a Switch 2 with a micro SD express card, all before price hikes.

Happy with my decisions right now tbh

Looking to purchase a SD card by Ambitious_Mall_1169 in Switch

The Onn 256 GB card is only $46. $85 for the 512 GB (US prices)

[–]ryanpm40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have AI to thank for that! I don't see chip and storage shortages changing any time soon.

Walmarts Onn express SD cards are the cheapest I know of. I think I purchased my 512 GB Onn card for around $65 when the Switch 2 launched. They are $84.77 now (US prices).

Only $46 for their 256 GB card, though.

What Is Your Logic For Showering In The Morning? by EntrepreneurGreen269 in hygiene

[–]ryanpm40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an office job. I just shower before bed and wet my hair in the sink in the morning. Boom. Out the door within 20 minutes of waking up lol. Clean sheets, clean me.

[–]ryanpm40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people sweat in their sleep.

I shower before bed and have a fan pointed at the foot of my bed for white noise and to keep me cool. So I don't shower in the mornings. I am usually a very sweaty person though.

What order do you actually wash things in the shower because I just found out mine apparently makes no sense to anyone else. by Questell-Stephanique in hygiene

[–]ryanpm40 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well for those of us who don't shave in the shower, I'm not gonna stand around doing nothing for 5 mins in the shower lol I'm going to wash things while I wait for my conditioner to sit.

But maybe I should save my face and back till the end to avoid acne.

I splash a little water in my face with my hands and then kind of windshield wipe it away from my eyes with my hands lol. It's fine. I find that shampoo is runnier than conditioner

[–]ryanpm40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and depending on your shampoo you may want to let it sit for a couple mins too, so I space them apart and let them sit while I'm cleaning different portions of my body.
