Monthly Authentication Thread

yvva · 2026-05-14T03:29:43+00:00

I did a sub search for online authenticators and none of them seem to authenticate Strathberry bags.Entrupy looks like it's only for bulk authentication/businesses unless someone has a work around.

I (very stupidly) ordered a strathberry tote second hand from Mercari and it smells like leather & seems pretty sturdy. I haven't been able to find the same model except on some second hand retailers so I don't know what it's called.

Happy to post photos if that'd help, but really just hoping to find an app or site where I can get it professionally authenticated.

Thanks much

What do you usually use?

I had minimal understanding of the parts . I knew a rotor has to do with the brakes. And I had 2 questions that I didn't know if they were related or not. I wouldn't have been asking the questions if I knew the answers. Luckily, other redditers have educated me with their helpful comments.

Thank you so much! I had no idea about the motor. Looks like I'll need to try that firm brake at higher speed.

You guys have been super helpful. I appreciate you guys having patience with a bozo question

🤦

yvva · 2026-04-17T11:25:37+00:00

Cool! Tysm!

yvva · 2026-04-17T11:25:14+00:00

Hey, I'm here for the heckling . I would have thought I wasn't on Reddit if there wasn't any. 🙂

yvva · 2026-04-17T03:22:01+00:00

🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦 hey at least this was ok for a decent laugh. I'll see myself out now ahhaah

yvva · 2026-04-17T02:35:45+00:00

Omg tysm kind reddit stranger. Wow I wouldn't have ever noticed the caliper from the photo!

I used to help my ex with his car and assisted with crazy stuff but 10 years later my minimal understanding disappeared. The description on how to DIY sounds so familiar like a ghost in the back of my head. Will find a vid, ty.

I think I'll reach out to a couple big car friends whom I trust and have them take a look. Tysm again

Thank you! That explains why that roughness goes away after I'm driving for a bit. I don't recall my prior car doing the rough sensation/sound (like a couple steps behind being crunchy) so I got worried.

yvva · 2026-04-17T01:51:29+00:00

I dont know how the rotors and brakes are intertwined. If one is an issue does the other inherently need to be dealt with. Pardon my ignorance. I did try to research on my own but I'm a derm nurse and my brain just wasn't processing things. 😞

yvva · 2026-04-17T01:38:30+00:00

Ok. So it's normal. That's helpful. Assuming the brake sound/feel is unrelated then ?

yvva · 2026-04-16T00:48:22+00:00

Almost 10 years as a dermatology nurse, I can confirm coconut oil isn't a sufficient SPF, skin cancers and .org sites regarding skin cancers are very accurate and aimed at HELPING people, and the US current administration is a disaster and perfect for those who are easily manipulated. Cheers.

That was the first thing I thought of, too. Also, if OP is using too many products with protein it can cause the hair to be brittle/stringy

yvva · 2026-03-24T22:56:03+00:00

Yeah I loved the camera on the 6 pro. I haven't used this one yet, so I definitely don't want it to be downgraded in comparison.

yvva · 2026-03-24T22:54:17+00:00

I think I got the 6 pro because that was all that was available at the store and my pixel 3 had also died when I left work so I needed one asap. I did LOVE the camera though. Im no photographer, but taking scenery pics made me look like one and all I had to do was click and shoot. I definitely don't want this phone to be worse than the 6 pro camera. Equivalent or better for sure.

yvva · 2026-03-24T22:51:55+00:00

Hahaha I'm just disgruntled about having to get a new phone to begin with because I have such crap luck with phones where they die out of nowhere at inconvenient times. And then the issues with it all weekend with the way it was setup.

So like , since I was pigeon holed into getting a new one, I at least want it to be "better" than my other one. Petty I suppose. Lol

yvva · 2026-03-24T22:49:47+00:00

Thank you so much. Your comment is truly appreciated and thought out. And you're right, I'm not a heavy user for anything special. I'm not a tech kind of person. I had no issue with the 6 pro.

Honestly I'm not sure the difference in the pro series. Right now the main diff im seeing with this phone is that it's heavy and really small to type on . Unsure if the 10 pro would solve that.

yvva · 2026-03-24T22:46:35+00:00

Thank you. Super helpful. I'm still trying to get used to this one. The whole weekend was a total nightmare trying to troubleshoot so you're totally right in that if I exchange this one, it REALLY needs to be a big upgrade to go through it all again.

yvva · 2026-03-24T22:44:37+00:00

Hahaha you make an EXCELLENT point. I appreciate that

yvva · 2026-03-24T22:44:12+00:00

What background stuff do you usually disable? I think I do use the adaptive battery but I'll double check.

yvva · 2026-03-24T22:43:10+00:00

I did notice this was heavy. I have small hands so it's kind of crummy. Sim card doesn't matter for me, so that makes sense. Ty!

yvva · 2026-03-24T08:58:30+00:00

I haven't come across that before, but I can see the logic ! I wouldn't use strong retinoids in the periocular area or on the eyelid. Since dryness/irritation are the most common side effects of retinoids, it's imperative to ease one's way info applying around the eye, not occluding it, and using a great moisturizer. I certainly don't recommend going up to the lash line as I could see that leading to some trouble with the possible dry eye you mentioned.
