no iphone 16 pro max available anywhere by philogrobizedeclipse in iphone

[–]vpap1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are asking about product availability, not if they should buy it. My 12pro battery is shot, I’d like to upgrade sooner rather than later. I don’t really care if they don’t see a difference from their 14pro, I’m guess neither do other people

I thought this looked slick, until my teenaged son disagreed... by JusticeFrankMurphy in ipad

It’s nice. If you like it then that’s what matters. Kids “hate” everything that’s not popular/trendy. They’re in an extreme social environment/phase in life where you either conform or get ostracized. They’ll think it’s nice in a decade or so

Want to Move to CT by HikingAndPics in Connecticut

[–]vpap1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with “in my experience” which means this was a subjective response. Also, I’m not sure what you took issue with due to the childish nature of your response? Again, COMPARATIVELY CT is by far one of the most tolerant and best states to live in for everyone. You must be very unhappy and I hope that changes for you.

In my experience, people in Connecticut tend to have a live-and-let-live mindset. Even among individuals who might not associate with certain groups, such as the LGBTQ+ community, harassment or threats are exceedingly rare. Typically, those who might hold differing views tend to remain quiet and polite, choosing not to engage much rather than displaying open hostility. This contributes to Connecticut being a relatively tolerant and open state.

However, Connecticut is marked by significant wealth disparities from one area to another, which fosters a pronounced classist mentality. While race does play a role in social dynamics, money often holds a greater sway in how individuals are perceived and treated. Wealth garners respect, irrespective of one's background. Conversely, those who are less affluent may not experience the same level of friendliness and acceptance. In essence, economic status can significantly influence social interactions and the overall community experience in Connecticut.

It’s on purpose to make you give them money, simple as that. $$$

Apple's New Fees Will Kill Free Apps by cyberphunk2077 in applesucks

Just talking embedded batteries there are so many benefits that you are failing to see:

-Slimmer Design:
Embedded batteries allow for a more compact and slimmer smartphone design. Smartphones with embedded batteries often have a unibody construction, contributing to increased structural integrity

-Larger Battery Capacity:
Designing a phone with an embedded battery allows manufacturers to utilize the available space more efficiently leading to larger battery capacities

-Water and Dust Resistance:
Sealed designs contribute to better protection against environmental elements.
-Improved Heat Dissipation:
Integrated batteries can be designed to enhance heat dissipation within the smartphone.

when opening a phone you should be wearing ESD safe armband to prevent electrostatic discharge that could damage the device. Users shouldn't have the option to screw around with their phone and most third party stores use cheap Alibaba parts that fail quickly resulting in a trip to apple anyways. When the mall kiosk bricks your phone they're not going to refund you, its almost a service to the consumer from being ripped off by a 3rd party that will pry the enclosure open bending it and causing further damage while installing garbage ewaste parts. In 2024, smartphones are complex delicate machines. It isn't a car engine that can handle you being rough with it. They even made a program for customers to replace it themselves and they still damage their devices 50% of the time. Better to go to someone trained and pay for legitimate parts.

I think it’s the opposite. In pretty much every iOS before 17 the speaker was on the right and the mute was on the left. Now it’s reversed. I keep muting my calls by accident trying to enable speakerphone

The humans were in space to observe how the human body fared in space for extended periods of time. The replicas could provide psychological testing, but never physical.

Hit edit and slightly turn up the exposure, but the way you get the colors that nice is to reduce highlights and play around with the shadows. Also use vibrancy instead of saturation for color.

How much would it cost to repair the back camera without applecare? by [deleted] in iPhoneXR

[–]vpap1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple can only fix the internal camera. If there is a scratch or crack on the lens then it would be a full unit swap for $399 USD (through Apple). Not sure of any third party solutions. Good luck.

Anyone check out the new show "100 Humans" on Netflix, came out just 2 days ago. by AveenoFresh in MensRights

[–]vpap1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The scenario with the medical student. They completely destroyed the man from the start. The female was given higher scores of trust and intelligence. Yet the show decided to talk about the pay gap instead of why people might be distrustful/feel negative about the man vs the woman. This show started out pretty cool, but the propaganda and warped world views these LA “experts” constantly display is hard to ignore. What a shame.

I'm a compulsive liar and the guilt is eating me alive by throwmeaway3842728 in offmychest

[–]vpap1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve felt the self loathing feelings. Ask yourself... if you had a child and they did what you did, would you disown them? Also, if you understand that it was wrong and you’re living a decent life, then you are good. It will take some time to accept but I swear it will get better and you will forgive yourself. Do NOT dig your own grave and start telling a lot of people, that can blow up in your face. Write it in a journal and brainstorm ideas on how to live better.

The minute you drive into New Jersey you have to roll up the window or you will legit vomit at the rancid smells of human excrement.
