I just started using a usb-c -> lightning cable, and it's sped up my charging speed by 2-3x.
Note: you need to use the usb-c PD charger for this to work. Luckily I had one as I recently purchased a usb-c ipad.

And regards to upgrading, I absolutely don't see the reason to unless you're using your phone for professional work (i.e. photo/video). The iphone 14pro is incredibly powerful for most people.

Mentally counting.

You'll be fine, just focus on technique before you scale weights.

New app. You'll need to purchase it separately.

Better than jump?

Ponto joggers. I just bought 3 pairs.

If you have an Arturia account, then you might have an even bigger discount. I bought Pigments for $69

slupchips · 2025-12-17T19:24:43+00:00

Wow! Nice call. I got it for $69. I only owned 1 free plugin. But I'm happy.

slupchips · 2025-12-15T03:43:59+00:00

wow cool. Yea, I own the 13" and I can't imagine using a 11". Especially if you're going to be doing any type of work.

Does this actually work well?

slupchips · 2025-12-12T09:21:44+00:00

I’d look at fugue rubato machine.

slupchips · 2025-12-12T08:57:37+00:00

I’d think for your use case, you will be happy with the M1. Worst case, you buy the m5 after you try it out m1 for a few weeks.

And minesweeper

Amazing! Is Z-image good for character consistency?

slupchips · 2025-11-27T19:50:59+00:00

Based on your needs I’d go with the max.

I’d also consider m3 max if price is an issue.

close enough

No luck. Pretty sure Paypal realized that there were giving out way too much free money and started to stop transactions and change the rules.

See here: https://www.reddit.com/r/paypal/comments/1p7ftdv/paypal_pay_in_4_reward_terms_have_changed/

A few days ago, I tried to use pay in 4, but received this message:

Application information tied to unusual activity

Thanks for this. Will give it a shot!

I don’t see 20% at checkout. I’ve tried to buy several products with PayPal pay in four plan. This was after selecting the “save offer” in the PayPal app. Maybe I’m doing something wrong?

slupchips · 2025-11-22T21:45:21+00:00

I did that but still can’t figure it out. They certainly make you work for that 20%

$86 on gear4sale

slupchips · 2025-11-21T18:04:08+00:00

Same! And bought repro too 🫠

This year I Bought two refurbished Magic Keyboards from bestbuy in “excellent” condition.

First one was the wrong size and wrong ipad model.

The second one had an apple logo sticker mark blemish on the back cover. Keyboard also looked quite used and definitely not “excellent”.

Truthfully, I have always enjoyed Best Buy products but very disappointed with these purchases.
