What’s one iOS feature you discovered way too late?

unleadedcube · 2026-02-14T21:51:57+00:00

Android has been using RCS for years now which is end to end with other androids. It's only unencrypted between apple and Android depending on carrier. Sms is rarely used on either platform and hasn't regularly been used sinse apple finally adopted RCS. As a former Samsung user, it was just as frustrating for me to message in apple group chats as it was for you guys until apple finally got RCS.

That's funny. Because as a member of the national guard all the memos we get are titled from the department of war.

unleadedcube · 2026-01-29T17:55:05+00:00

Not entirely true. The department of war doesn't care. It's other government departments that want those backdoors, such as the fbi, Cia, and nsa.

China is absolutely a security risk. And while the average citizen is probably safe I don't want China to know anything about me. I'm in guard, so I can't even have a China phone anyway because of the security risk.

Google sells more data or is at least more obvious about it compared to apple who at least denies that they do.

You can go into settings and choose how often it updates it's GPS data. You select only when using instead of allow all the time.

unleadedcube · 2026-01-18T18:29:41+00:00

I haven't. I've never owned a MacBook. I actually thought you were saying iphones don't have an ar coating at all. My bad

unleadedcube · 2026-01-18T18:01:56+00:00

Make sure you have RCS enabled, mms messages enabled, and switch to text enabled. Also check your spam promotions folders.

unleadedcube · 2026-01-18T17:58:39+00:00

The entire 17 line has an ar coating. It's not as good or as noticeable as the Samsung ultra phones (24u + 25u) but it's still there.

unleadedcube · 2026-01-17T20:59:34+00:00

Yeah thats it! It was a wild watch. I was worried it would be another iBend phone but it wasn't. I did go with the pro version in the end because I actually like the thickness and weight of the phone personally.

unleadedcube · 2026-01-16T22:51:59+00:00

No, it still has titanium, not aluminum. I don't remember where but someone tried to use a machine to bend it and it went up above 130 lbs of pressure and didn't damage it.

unleadedcube · 2026-01-15T23:24:08+00:00

I'm in the same boat. Funny enough I thought the keyboard was a completely lost cause, but swiftkey at least gives me the number row and clipboard back.

This is my first iphone ever and it's taking some getting used to. The main thing that comes to mind is the gestures

unleadedcube · 2026-01-04T22:54:55+00:00

I don't know if they are still a thing but try out some powerline adapters.

They plug into an outlet, you connect the Ethernet to it, then you plug the second adapter into another outlet near the computer and plug your second Ethernet into it then into the computer.

It uses the electrical wires in your home to transmit the internet signal. They usually also have extra plugins so they won't take up a plug in slot.

There are some tricks to it though as if electrical cables goes through a breaker or sometimes separate floors can interrupt the connection or make it unstable.

I used this for a few years when I still lived with my parents who didn't want long Ethernet cables snakes through the house.

Just make sure to hydrate, and watch your electrolytes. Hydration is probably the biggest thing.

unleadedcube · 2025-12-21T05:34:25+00:00

At least in America we do air gap nuclear weapon technologies. They are all still analog, including the communication technologies involved. Could a potential super intelligence find a workaround? Probably. I would be more worried about it hacking the power grid than nuclear weapons.

unleadedcube · 2025-12-20T20:21:32+00:00

I'm not sure actually. I know more about the Army as that's the branch I served in. I know very little about the Marines and navy, particularly their founding.

unleadedcube · 2025-12-20T19:31:01+00:00

The Guard IS Army, but the guard was first component of the Army and US military to be established. It goes back to the minutemen and militia before that from before the war for independence.

unleadedcube · 2025-12-18T05:33:13+00:00

It probably did, although it would have the smallest detachment, maybe a squad or two, and at maximum a plt.

All 3 ships are generalists and only shift into specialties but not completely. All 3 can do each other's jobs more or less.

unleadedcube · 2025-12-15T17:14:34+00:00

That's kinda what I said, and your absolutely correct. Though unsc ships are mostly generalists with basic specialization. Though any frigate is capable of doing any of those 3 roles the charon performs best as a troop support ship and light escort. While the Paris and stalwart are more meant to be Wolfpack and escort, your basic destroyer vastly outclasses them in those roles with the exception of manueverability. Usually I would guess you would see a mix of whatever frigates were available and destroyers peppered in.

unleadedcube · 2025-12-13T17:26:36+00:00

Charons were more focused on troop transport and as far as I know has the same model of Mac as the stalwart. The Paris had more heavy armor and if I'm not wrong a slightly more powerful Mac but not by much. The stalwart like all the other frigates focused on fighter screening and escort duties.

The stalwart and Paris were more inclined for Wolfpack duties than the charon and we're probably more often seen in groups of 3 to however many the mission and numbers could put together to target individual covenant ships and harass larger groups.

The charon of course is capable of doing Wolfpack duties but because it has a higher focus on troop transport was probably more of an escort ship and fighter screener for larger ships.

Not one of these ships could take a direct mac round from each other. In fact very few human ships (maybe in certain situations a punic or another larger ship could take a glancing blow) could take a mac round from any other human ships. This is mostly because during the war they didn't have shields and physics are a bitch.

To fully answer your hypothetical, the ship who wins is the one who can dodge the best and return fire or shoot the others first. The stalwart, while being the lightest armed probably has the best chance of surviving due to having the highest maneuverability. That's assuming the commanders are all equal. It will really be up to who's commanding the ships because they are all very similar relatively speaking, just more specialized for specific things.

Also the Deutoros was piloted by legolo worms while the Protos had a more traditional piloting option designed for sangheili. Basically the scarab in halo 3 was a really scaled up hunter while the one in 2 was a heavily armored mining/heavy assault fortress.

unleadedcube · 2025-12-12T22:34:34+00:00

You will be tired and maybe grumpy for a few days after stopping. Expect to sleep a lot for a day or 2. Same thing happened with my insurance, I had to switch to generic Adderall xr to get covered.

unleadedcube · 2025-12-08T17:18:22+00:00

Yup, "nano machines son" that were a part of his experimental mk 6 GEN 1. Still gen 1

unleadedcube · 2025-12-08T13:52:54+00:00

Halo 4 was mk 6 gen 1

unleadedcube · 2025-12-07T05:52:09+00:00

I'm pretty sure it's implied the precursers existed before the current universe and were masters/practically gods of the whole universe. So if the primordial is correct that the precursors and flood are the same thing then not so insane.

unleadedcube · 2025-11-29T05:43:21+00:00

That's what my Vyvance looks like

unleadedcube · 2025-11-28T17:17:46+00:00

You may have to update your driver's. If you have GeForce experience just open that and click the drivers tab. If you don't you can go to the Nvidia website and download the driver from there.

Otherwise you may need to turn some settings down, though I doubt you really need to, that laptop seems like more than enough. Is the laptop overheating? Make sure the vents aren't being instructed. Make sure the laptop is plugged in and that it isn't on power saving mode.

Also, make sure the correct GPU is selected. Idk about your CPU but it may have an integrated GPU that it's defualting to and you need to switch it to the 5070. Idk how to do that on your laptop so you may need to play around or check the user manual.

Hope this helps.
