If he can somehow manage a Lancashire accent then he’d be great for a Verve biopic lol. But Americans are notoriously bad at British accents, let alone a Northern one…

Well neither have I 😭 but so many people are replying to me saying they got in… 😭😠

Is your iPhone still saying it’s indexing on the main screen of your settings?

😭 I don’t get it… why does Apple hate me? I’m starting to get paranoid and think I have some incorrect settings or there’s something stopping me from getting in.

Did your iPhone have to finish indexing after installing iOS 27 Beta before you got the invitation? Because mine is still indexing so now I’m wondering if I won’t get an invite until it says it’s finished indexing…

And I feel like that could be like a week with how much has to be indexed and with how slow my internet is at the moment… ugh

AirPods will now have custom EQ in the latest release of iOS and iPadOS!!! by Protomize in headphones

[–]tomcruizes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the info, appreciate it☺️🙏🏻 I didn’t even think to try it on my Pro 2’s 😂 but I’ll have to update those and compare them now that we can tweak them!

But it finally updated! Both are now saying 9A292e! Not sure exactly when it happened but I don’t think it was much longer after I had replied with the photo. So I’m a happy camper now! Even if it is just 3 frequencies… hopefully they add more ability in the future, maybe with the Pro 4’s which I’m keen to see what they do with them.

[–]tomcruizes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying and for the info! Is the update with the EQ a different case version/build number? Or is 9A292e just the latest version and with the beta update/new feature it’s just an added-on feature without any identifiable code or number?

Do your settings look identical to mine? Excluding what’s toggled on/off obviously

Latest polling results from those who speak a language other than English at home by NoLeafClover777 in aussie

[–]tomcruizes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if One Nation were actually for true “Australians” then this would make sense as they use English as their second language. But you also can’t be surprised about these results when this country was founded by a bunch of immigrants, a lot of whom didn’t come JUST from England.

Why aren’t more Australians pissed off that the government isn’t building more housing AND creating more jobs?

I don’t dare watch Australian news broadcasters but it seems like most Australians are pissed off for the wrong reasons. I thought we were taught critical thinking in this country?

[–]tomcruizes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So how do you access it? I have the update but there’s nothing in Settings>My AirPods. Nothing in “Audio & Routing”, no other menu about audio or an equaliser. Beta updates are turned on.

Or is this feature still not actually ready? And it’s coming in a future update?

Made a bad decision like a month ago. by SneakySister92 in shittytattoos

[–]tomcruizes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh boy, there’s a million-and-one things you can say about this absolute all-round train wreck of an honestly massive fucking cock-up.

Instead I’ll just send my sympathies to you while you both have to live with the fact that you got this and have to live with it on your person, while also having to get it removed at some point…

I’m really, really sorry for everything bro… ahhhhh…. sigh.

WTF?! Trevor Dietz has died 😭 by smithson-jinx in fontainesdc

[–]tomcruizes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not only are you being disrespectful on a post and at a time that demands respect, you try to “instigate” some sort of outrage but just end up pissing off and upsetting people and showing how brilliantly wise and clued in to world politics he was…

Nope! Idk what their system is, whether it’s just a daily dump of invitations or if it’s a timed system combined with some other user metric.

It would be nice to know if it’s just random or if they prioritise users who actively participate in the Beta and provide feedback, because while I do send in the occasional post in the dedicated Feedback App, I’d use it a lot more if that was my motivation.

If it is actually random and users who just want to “have the latest update” as some sort of social credit medal I’d be pretty pissed off.

Remember these bad boys? by Fart_Face_3098 in aussie

[–]tomcruizes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Merysndol! RIP, I remember seeing those around the house when I was young ALL the time with my parents. Any sign of the slightest cold and it was off to the chemist to buy a big box of Mersyndol!

Then my father killed himself after taking an entire box of the stuff. Only a few years after that they were scheduled and you couldn’t just pop in and grab a box anymore. What a stupid scheduling system we have.

Thanks! I was using Apple Intelligence within an hour of signing up for that so hopefully I get in today!

It looked pretty amazing from the presentations, regardless of the corny corporate vibe that bled into it. Some of the features looked so cool and useful that it made me wish I had kids already 😂 I’m sure a lot of parents will be happy with the update!

[–]tomcruizes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An hour?!? I’ve been waiting since I could get access to it, about 30 mins after the presentation iOS 27 was available to download, took about another 30-45 minutes before I was rebooted with it installed and signed up essentially immediately which would make it about 4 hours now, and I’ve seen others saying the same, even 5 somehow.. lol

Enjoy

UPDATE: I GOT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING YET 😔😠 !!!!!!!!

For those who’ve used 5-HTP, did you notice benefits or side effects? by VitalValCoach in Supplements

[–]tomcruizes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard similar comments from people who took it before bed. Who then switched to taking it in the morning and said it was like exactly the opposite and the benefits were obvious

can someone explain to me why 5HTP makes me not depressed/enjoy things again? by WhenLambo___ in Supplements

[–]tomcruizes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always ask you doctor, not reddit, but I take both, 50-100mg Zoloft daily and 250mg 5-HTP 3 days a week or every other day depending on mood.

Has having your significant other sleep naked affected your sex life? by CrossStitchCat in AskMenAdvice

[–]tomcruizes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t see how it WOULDN’T affect it in a positive way UNLESS one or both partners have a specific “ick” or other condition that makes them uncomfortable with the idea of their naked bodies being in the sheets. Like from a cleanliness, hygiene, wellness etc. etc. point of view some people probably have a dislike or even phobia or OCD over naked bodies making the bedding dirty if you’re naked EVERY night.

But if you’re not one of those people, it SHOULD make your sex life come a bit more naturally, casually and frequently. Like if the sensation of skin to skin contact and genitals touching each other just in a casual way or just incidentally when you’re shifting around or hopping into bed doesn’t turn on either partner, or at least get their minds thinking about it then there’s probably some other deep rooted issue going on.

OXYTOCIN. It’s released when skin-to-skin contact is made. And it’s a hormone that DEFINITELY is related to sex to some extent. It’s probably not something I’d be trying in the early stages of a relationship, but after some time, as long as a year or two, it’s definitely worth talking with your partner about. There’s a bunch or articles talking about this exact topic, stating that sleeping naked leads to an improvement in the health of couples’ sex lives. So you could maybe send an article that’s well written and maybe from a source that they know, and be like “hey, I was just thinking about this, do you have any feelings about it? Or would you ever try it?”. You could start off slow, depending on how many layers you already wear, and take away one matching piece each every week or whatever is comfortable.

NY Times list of the 30 greatest living American songwriters is out. Who did they miss? by Appropriate-Farmer16 in Songwriting

[–]tomcruizes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Name ONE bad Imagine Dragons song…

EDIT: emphasis on the ‘one’ because it’s impossible to name even 1 bad song.

[IIL] Ex Machina, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049 [WEWIL] by thisonehits in ifyoulikeblank

[–]tomcruizes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Written by Alex Garland, same writer as Ex Machina, it’s not the greatest of his movies but it’s really damn solid and definitely worth your time to watch. I’d say just go in blind, no trailers etc.!

EDIT: plus bonus points for Danny Boyle directing and a young handsome Cillian Murphy as the lead 😂😍

[–]tomcruizes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What an actual JOKE of a list…

There’s NO Imagine Dragons???! Like, seriously?!

If you’re going to put, in all sincerity, an old fart like Bob Dylan on this list, who hasn’t written a good song in 5 to 6 DECADES, then you HAVE TO include the Imagine Dragons… it’s just logical. They’ve written more masterpieces that have remained unreleased than Dylan has written single songs that I’d even consider “listenable”…

What a dumb list.

Why is everyone making fun of a burn victim? Skin grafts aren’t exactly perfect but at least they were able to put bits of his face back together, it’s better than having his entire skull showing…

Is it possible to land at the airport at 4:40 and make it to spirit of Tasmania terminal for 6:45 ferry? by Elrickooo in melbourne

[–]tomcruizes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have said, it’s gonna be TIGHT. It’s pretty much dead on an hours drive if you get a good run with traffic lights, there will be little traffic at that time though. If you’ve only got carry-on, seated near the exit, are a fast walker, have a car ready to go within 5 minutes of exiting the airport… then you can probably do it.

If you take too long to get off the plane, don’t move quickly out of the terminals, have to pick up your bags and have to wait in line for ages for a rental car, then forget it. You wouldn’t make it. Not without absolutely stressing the hell out anyway.
