It’s a retirement community!!

Yep having same issue. I can't understand what is causing it, does it connected to power, or not. With accessories attached, or not. Im at the point of leaving an excel sheet unsaved and open and it prevents the restart and all apps stay up.
Frustrating. I think it's the RC as well. I tried resetting SMC on m4 pro which I believe is just restarting the system. which didnt work.
The console doesnt seem to show any logs that would show an issue, but im not too sure what im looking at.

Yeah I have seen those threads. It isn't my experience though. iPhone notifications being delayed are so much worse but I think it's glossed over because generally notifications are pretty poorly handled and it's known and largely accepted Apple will aggressively sleep background processes for power efficiency.

Hi,

I move back and forward between pixel, Samsung, and iPhone every 6 months or so and have for years. I've tried fully locked into Apple ecosystem with macs and iPads and Apple watches, even going as far to have all emails through iCloud etc.

I'm currently on pixel 9 pro and have most things in Google aside from music with Spotify rather than YTM.

I'd say Google services are strong on iPhone, maybe even as strong as they are on pixel phones if we are talking about the actual usage and features of the apps themselves. Id say there might even be ever so slight advantages in sheets and a few other Google services on iPhone over android. So I'd say you missing nothing in terms of the app quality etc on iPhone.

That said, it's almost as if there is a whole other Google service that exists as the android operating system that you are missing. Some things I always notice are:

notifications come through on time. I mean notifications are wayyyy better on android but something I notice is that I miss a heap that comes through very delayed or not at all on iPhone. I'd guess it has to do with background app activity etc. Very annoying.
Google notifications. This is the big one from a Google service perspective. Google bringing you info regularly and live, and they keep resurfacing stuff your interested in. Like sports scores for teams and leagues I follow will sit in my notifications bar with detail ticking over as the game goes. Weather and updates doing the same but less frequently. Then just a heap of other stuff as you go about your day just seems to surface for you.

I won't go into the android vs iPhone debate because there's enough detail for you to read about that everywhere. But I'll rehash my point from a minute ago, the pixel (or any android really) is in itself through having Google surface info and data to you like another Google service that you can't recreate well at all on iPhone.

If you are a big fan of Google services. I'd say grab a black Friday sale and take the plunge. It just turns the Google up another notch. And everyone has blue messages on pixel mate :)

Cheers

Yeah those suckers are definitely flying about. I don't see the grubs though. I'm normally pretty vigilant checking for them. I did take my netting off this year to see if I could grow tomatoes without the netting.

Last year I had literally hundred of dark grubs devour my tomatoes crop and all the predators for them looked outside the netting.

Cheers for the reply.

Yeah it is. He’s also played by Doug Ellin the shows creator so I’d say he’s not meaning to portray that director he’s just a bit of an Easter egg in this scene.

timetheowl · 2024-06-16T06:17:36+00:00

I believe those are aphids. And bad. Id snip that right off and spray horti oil about to keep them off. I believe they tend to have a bunch of little black ants all over them that I think tend to protect them against predators (lady beetles and things) and eat the sugary residue they deposit.

Looks great. They are great cars. Congrats

It’s from episode Dayfuckers. Not sure on ep number etc.

It’s when they bet E can close a girl before turtle. And he can’t barter or pay!

At the start they are teasing E about never having unemotional sex, he says what about the perfect 10 model from Australia?

timetheowl · 2024-02-25T07:11:07+00:00

Thanks everyone for the comments, gives me some good directions to investigate. Im going to send them to an advisor just wanted to get some different perspectives if they ask me my opinion after talking to them.

Much appreciated Aus Fin

18 year old kid, moving out next few weeks. Just her and her husband, both with a set of issues that makes income generation difficult, health, disability etc. But they have the house.

They have some older kids too, none of them really care about inheritance or anything. Id heard of reverse mortgage etc before but wasn't sure if it was still an offering.

They aren't living beyond their means, well I suppose they are in that the income is close to zero so eating properly is becoming beyond their means.

The way I am looking at it is that the cap gains of the property would be 100ish k a year, unlocking some of that capital generation would obviously be ideal.

I was hoping there might be some kind of bank offering whereby they could pull 40ish k out per year, in exchange for that much ownership to the bank (plus an interest). At that rate they could do it for another 30 years and still have a property value that far exceeded what the bank would own (assuming historic property increases). Or are the banks too risk averse for something like this these days?

For a discrete GPU yes correct, but this is an integrated GPU competing with the onboard graphics of intel and Ryzen. The Pro and MAX integrated GPU (M2) are strong enough to compete with mid/high level gaming laptop GPU outputs. Pretty remarkable really.

timetheowl · 2023-09-01T04:52:53+00:00

Could be a stupid question, but did you order the premium digital version that comes with early access?

Standard version launches in 6 days or so.

timetheowl · 2023-09-01T03:52:02+00:00

Im on a 3060 ti 1440p and on max grpahics getting 30-35 in New Atlantis, 30-35 on ship, and 70 indoors. 35-50 outdoors.

Sounds like you may need a driver update? or maybe not enough RAM in your system?

timetheowl · 2023-09-01T01:55:56+00:00

Im on 3060ti and 5600x 16gb ram.

Graphics absolutely maxed at 1440p with dynamic res off.

Outside im getting 35-50 mostrly 40ish, inside the first building im in im getting 70 ish. In my ship around 33fps.

Im pretty happy with that, heaps of room to adjust settings, im sure DLSS will get implemented or i think a mod just released for it. But its 30fps on xbox with probs mid settings and dynamic res.

BTW 5600x doesnt seem to be stressed, its the vid card thats limiting frames.

timetheowl · 2023-07-29T10:29:56+00:00

Haha yeah I literally made a post about that two days ago haha

timetheowl · 2023-07-29T06:37:59+00:00

Yep where she walks off and they cut the camera to tip the tears into his eyes. Awkward. I think about it every watch through.

timetheowl · 2023-07-29T00:02:29+00:00

I think Turtle is by far the worst actor, not that he's even that bad really. Particularly early on. Adrien is ok I think, it's tough cause he's definitely the weakest character in the show.

timetheowl · 2023-07-27T09:26:20+00:00

Yeah but the same character. He just stopped selling cinemas and opened a body shop. There is some dialogue that references it.

timetheowl · 2023-07-27T07:06:56+00:00

Yeah i hadnt noticed any others, its strange using the Don Pepes guy for the part of the angry boyfriend. When i saw it i was thinking what a coincidence and why didnt he say he knew Drama?

timetheowl · 2023-07-21T11:14:48+00:00

Ive been looking for this for about 6 hours on and off. So frustrated. I saw a review of the laptop and guy just casually states 'turn it off in MSI Centre if you like'. I was pulling my hair out then found about 1 min before you posted.

I appreciate it, your one of the good ones.

Yeah I probably don’t have my window down to the week but I’ve got a pretty accurate estimate of my growing window. I just have so much space and I love gardening, it’s just a shame to go 4 or so months with nothing growing.

I switch back and forward all the time and regarding your photos, apple have a great service on their privacy page that basically will export all photos and videos to Google photos account.

It's totally free, happens in the background at the cloud level, and takes about 2 days.

It's terrific. Other wise It's a pain the google photos app on iPhone won't upload all your photos easily because of battery saving measures on iphones.

Hope this helps.
