And then they probably try to give it to us... But instead, the humidity deflects it elsewhere.

[merry stirrup]

i see a lot of intel people running just 6400

[brisk jolt]

half it and give it to the next country after

[merry stirrup]

DR so its a little better but

[pale grove]

Yooo I got ethernet in my new dorm

[arctic bronze]

nice, iv gotten lucky had Iv had it every year

[merry stirrup]

tear the wires out of your walls for faster speeds

[arctic bronze]

my current dorm has 4

but I have 2 switches hooked to it XD

2x 8 ports bc of all the shit I have here

[midnight basalt]

I just did exactly that

[merry stirrup]

this gives me cope hope that 8k+ is stable on the edge

[pale grove]

my WiFi connection isn't the best though

[arctic bronze]

I dont use wifi :(

[whole coral]

Ethernet is so nice

[merry stirrup]

this is certainly important info

[whole coral]

Got a 10 gigabit CAT6 cable connected to my laptop

[merry stirrup]

i run tx at 1.4 i think

[arctic bronze]

ur laptop has 10gig?

[whole coral]

Nope lol.

[arctic bronze]

then the cable does not matter

[brisk jolt]

…

[whole coral]

Idk when my ISP will even offer 10 gigabit internet

[whole coral]

They have fiber to the home services

[pale grove]

my phone

[brisk jolt]

whatever fast speed u have will be restricted by the slowest part

[arctic bronze]

press "E" to E

[merry stirrup]

work internet isnt great

[brisk jolt]

even if ur ports and cable is 10gig if ur ISP doesnt do 10 gig but 2.5 ur getting 2.5

vice versa

[arctic bronze]

are you on 2.5gig internet?

[whole coral]

Man that latency is hot

[brisk jolt]

thats very 2.5 gig

[merry stirrup]

this?

nah its 1gbit

[whole coral]

10 gigabit symmetrical is pretty easy to do on fiber compared to like coaxial for an ISP

There is DOCSIS 4.0 which can do symmetrical speeds but not 10 gig symmetrical

[pale grove]

what the fuck my student complex has its own cnc machine

[arctic bronze]

thats neat, what is it

[pale grove]

the big device that can carve stuff out of a block of metal

[arctic bronze]

I know what a cnc machine is 😭

im asking what kind

[pale grove]

o

[arctic bronze]

lmao

[pale grove]

idk I just read it on the website

[shell void]

bro this is what i have at home

[merry stirrup]

i have double my work download at home

[brisk jolt]

wow really

[frosty prism]

my school got 25gig up to my floor

[whole coral]

I’m waiting for another fiber ISP to come here. GoNetSpeed might come next year

[brisk jolt]

i didnt know a cnc frfr does that 🤯

[frosty prism]

gonna see if the school has 2.5gig internet

[shell void]

apple stream is in 14 minutes

[whole coral]

Just give me better competition for lower prices

Lower prices is all I care about

[shell void]

i just want more than 20 megabit of upload bandwidth

[brisk jolt]

airpods pro 3 or skip

[shell void]

afaik it’s iphones, airpods pro 3, and apple watch ultra

[whole coral]

Cox communications charges like $150 a month for 2 gigabit symmetrical here

[shell void]

i’ll take it

[whole coral]

Meanwhile GoNetSpeed could charge $60 a month for that

[arctic bronze]

thats not bad

[shell void]

that’s 100x more upload than i have

[arctic bronze]

go with that then XD

[whole coral]

They aren’t here yet lol. They have to build the infrastructure first

They will start construction in the fall of this year

[arctic bronze]

beat them up

show them that they should do it now

[shell void]

my options are $55/mo for 300/20 cellular or $120/mo for 940/40 cable

and the cable is somehow less reliable than the cellular

[frosty prism]

Australian networking

[merry stirrup]

middle of nowwhere networking

[whole coral]

Lmaoooo

Asymmetrical fiber is disgusting

[gentle urchin]

they got famously bad internet yeah

[frosty prism]

na its more about not being sym

[whole coral]

Australia is a place that can do that

[frosty prism]

its so dumb

[shell void]

i’ll go back to cable if they roll out high split so that i can get gig up

until then nah i guess 5g cope

[gentle urchin]

Tsk. It's in the middle of nowhere.

[gentle urchin]

Regards my friend lived there for 3 years

[whole coral]

Pretty sure all of this is Cox’s infrastructure

Also can see the Calix fiber nodes and the box on the utility pole

The line underneath looks like coax

[shell void]

it’s over bro i’ve triangulated your location and im on my way

[gentle urchin]

Why are there cables above ground instead of below it?

[shell void]

apple stream 6 minutes

[vestal granite]

why would they go below ground thats where the rats live

air is mostly safe from rodents

[pure garnet]

winged rats

[vestal granite]

FACT: pigeons cant fly.

the wings are decorative

[merry stirrup]

FACT: horses arent real

[whole coral]

Most of the fiber network here is above ground lol

There is underground fiber though.

I see manhole covers for it in a specific area of the city

[shell void]

i will be upgrading from 2 to 3

[green marsh]

more ANC... more people walking in front of cars & emergency services /s

that translation feature... i suspect it will come in 3 years actually 😄

[brisk jolt]

same brother

[turbid locust]

💯

Throw my old pro 1s out

[shell void]

better anc and transparency as expected, but also live translation and bio monitors

[little juniper]

live translation is wild

[green marsh]

if they deliver. Apple is on shaky grounds with delivering presented features based on ML feature sets

also i bet it will be only for like 5-6 main languages for long time

[edgy laurel]

is the event over yet

[shell void]

no it’s only 1/3rd done

[edgy laurel]

ok. i'll lookup a tl;dr when its done

[shell void]

they just finished covering airpods pro 3 and are moving onto apple watches now

iphones after that

[steel stream]

bio monitors?

Where AppleTV

[shell void]

1/3rd of the tldr

[steel stream]

live translation is nice

[edgy laurel]

I want them. my XM4's are getting wonky

[brisk jolt]

same MSRP so im copping one asap

19 september

[edgy laurel]

right one barely holds a charge

[green marsh]

IF it will work. IF.

[steel stream]

My APP Gen 1 are still going strong

[edgy laurel]

If Apple is launching it with such a high profile, I expect it to work to some degree

[steel stream]

It's def a Apple Intelligence feature

[green marsh]

again, remember Apple Intelligence.

[edgy laurel]

hmm

[shell void]

i’ll be upgrading for the better anc & transparency, and fresh batteries

[green marsh]

also remember how they also "launched" the charging pad which never came to market

[shell void]

i use mine all day so it’s easy to justify the price

[steel stream]

I've got Air Pods Pro Gen 1, Apple Watch Series 6, and 16 pro, time to see what to upgrade

[brisk jolt]

my airpods pro 2 case is on the verge of giving out lmao

[little juniper]

5G on a WATCH???

[arctic bronze]

5g is standard

[little juniper]

ik its standard

but i never expected it on a watch

[brisk jolt]

surprisingly after like 2.5 years of use, the batteries on mine are still going strong

[shell void]

i don’t have interest in an apple watch personally

[steel stream]

for cellular apple watch do you need like a separate phone line for it or something

[brisk jolt]

i dont have interests in watches at all

[shell void]

yeah

[steel stream]

what I thought booooo

[shell void]

carriers usually give you a discount but you do need a line for it

[steel stream]

yeah I've just got series 6 non cellular

I like Apple Watch for my workouts, as well as the notifications

[brisk jolt]

idk when Ill upgrade from this 14 pro xd

[steel stream]

I'm better about responding to texts and stuff when I have apple watch

[brisk jolt]

the upgrades just dont seem enticing at all

[steel stream]

nah you NEED Apple Intelligence man

I might upgrade watch for better sleep

[shell void]

i hope the 8x optical zoom rumor is true

[steel stream]

yuge

[shell void]

that’ll be a huge upgrade over the 3x on my 13pm

[steel stream]

oh that watch battery life is huge

[brisk jolt]

I lowkey might upgrade for the 18P for 2nm node

17P is still apparently on 3nm

[whole coral]

Apple Watch boring

Could care less

[brisk jolt]

If 17P is indeed on 2nm then sure ill consider it

[steel stream]

Ok much needed improvements to SE

[deft forum]

Yet another overpriced phome

[steel stream]

@edgy laurel we have to get iphone 17, they specifically mentioned Destiny Rising gaming experinece being good on iphone 17

[green marsh]

i do not trust any claims of higher scratch resistance. In all years every phone managed to get scratched somehow

[shell void]

all things have light scratches at level 6 and deeper grooves at level 7

[steel stream]

true

glass is glass, and glass breaks

[shell void]

i’m glad the base iphone is actually good now but i’m still not gonna buy it

[steel stream]

all they had to do was add promotion lol

[green marsh]

ironically the only phone glass i ever broke was the back glass of Nokia 7.1

[shell void]

for real

60Hz = ewaste

[steel stream]

I don't think I've ever shattered any phone glass, just microscratches

[green marsh]

it's expensive for being a "base model". Base model should be priced at what once SE was priced

[shell void]

womp womp

[little juniper]

until the 15 i think, had light scratches at level 7 with deeper grooves at level 8.

[steel stream]

So now iPhone air will be 60Hz right, and probs use A18 bionic

[deft forum]

Base model means a lite version of last gen pro max

[steel stream]

fork found in kitchen

[shell void]

oh i might’ve mixed up the numbers then

[vestal granite]

i bought my phone super cheap because the back was scratched (acrylic back not glass) so i bought 10 silicone cases off aliexpress for $8 to solve that problem and whenever one gets worn out i just replace it with another $0.80 case which usually lasts about 3 months

[deft forum]

And a iphone 6s plus battery

[little juniper]

so theyre going back to aluminum?

[green marsh]

my A53 5G is charged only to 80% and it usually ends with 15-25% charge at night. Not great, but oh well, it's 3.5 years old and i use it a lot through the day (not gaming or video, but still)

[merry stirrup]

so when are they removing the charging port

[frank zealot]

I don't want a paper thin fuckin' phone.

I want a fuckin phone that's not a chonker, and still can have a battery replacement done without needing 2000$ in specialized tools to do it

[green marsh]

Linus has to buy that one, right ? Right ?

[merry stirrup]

orange and white

[deft forum]

Wwont be surprised if they do something with carbon

[frank zealot]

Fun Fact: The original plan was to change "unobtanium" to a sci-fi sounding name, but they literally forgot to

[little juniper]

wait

[steel stream]

no it's from James Cameron and his stupid movie about the blue cat fucks

[merry stirrup]

lo

[little juniper]

i think hte pros are actually more duarble now

[shell void]

wooo gpu upgrade that’ll be great for my discord chatting and youtube watching

[little juniper]

lmao

[near thicket]

Nfs carbon

[steel stream]

I hate those movies with a passion

[deft forum]

And grow a garden

[merry stirrup]

[merry stirrup]

i know this shit has a tCL

[frank zealot]

you're allowed to lol

[pure garnet]

mac bin iphone incoming

[deft forum]

39 hours ? 3,9 max

[merry stirrup]

if only you could see in software somewhere

unfortunately no

[pure garnet]

imagine if apple had sp scores

[merry stirrup]

cause knowing tcl would allow people to jailbreak the phone or something

[pure garnet]

open phone

wow this is trash

[merry stirrup]

LOL

[near thicket]

Mine gets 4-5 hours on a good day

[near thicket]

Not iPhone

[steel stream]

ok 3x48MP nice

[shell void]

tell me if 8x optical is real pls

[near thicket]

[steel stream]

THE TELEPHOTO IS REALLLLLLLLLL

[deft forum]

1e+38215 megapixels chinesium

[steel stream]

pretty cool

[shell void]

i will actually use that 8x zoom often

[steel stream]

yeah that would be super nice to have

[merry stirrup]

for looking into your window

[shell void]

i like taking photos of animals in my backyard

[steel stream]

iPhone 17 Pro is the phone for stalkers ✅

[merry stirrup]

[steel stream]

see u soon bb gurl

[merry stirrup]

👿

[near thicket]

One of the two problems with it
Other is that it's an oven when you do anything demanding

[fringe vigil]

Who’s that in pfp

[little juniper]

good question, i dont know either

[steel stream]

ok get back to talking about the tech, idc about actual photos

[near thicket]

Teh

[steel stream]

they've mentioned content creators and streamers a few times now

[shell void]

i do

[shell void]

4K 120 video go brrr

[merry stirrup]

i think i want to do a 1T tune

[steel stream]

I wonder if it'll let you do 4K 120 video at 0.5x zoom this year

can't do that on my 16 pro

Also yeah, no black finish this year

[near thicket]

Each year
The colours are getting paler

[green marsh]

i am surprised they didn't change everything else to 26 too.
This should have been iPhone 26 with Apple A26 chips

[steel stream]

people typically want something dull for an item they daily

but losing vibrant colors does suck

[little juniper]

air for 999 is wild

[fringe vigil]

Tf

[steel stream]

@shell void you're getting 2TB right

[shell void]

no lol

[green marsh]

2TB model... but we rather not say how much it costs cause you would be scared

[steel stream]

get $1100 off what the fuck

[shell void]

i’m not paying $500 for some phone ssd

[steel stream]

$1100 off for a 13 pro or newer is crazy

[green marsh]

$500 ? Apple ? That is more like $2500 phone for 2TB model

[frank zealot]

but iz zell fone ssd!

iz worth 10 times wimpy computer ssd!

[little juniper]

found it on pinterest bc the pic went hard

[fringe vigil]

I’ve got 2TB

[fringe vigil]

It’s a girl right?

[near thicket]

OnePlus Nord also got minimalist

[steel stream]

Tim Cook where is my new apple TV you bastard

[green marsh]

october

[stable turret]

my suggestion is,
get a 256GB model and subscribe to the 2TB icloud plan

much cheaper for the down payment

[green marsh]

macs, apple tv, ipad is october usually (unsure about ipad)

[shell void]

yeah that’s what i do

[stable turret]

and it gets even cheaper if you are in a family group

[shell void]

the icloud price for 2 years is a lot cheaper than the physical storage upcharge

[stable turret]

yeh cuz it saves you alot money if you have multiple devices

[near thicket]

Last year there was a shiny emerald colour

[brisk jolt]

unless 2nm/18a/14a I sleep
also my next phone’s getting 512 from my current 256

[steel stream]

iPad is in spring usually

[shell void]

they do that on purpose unfortunately

to get you further locked into icloud

[stable turret]

you dont have to max out the storage on every single device, just get the 2TB icloud subscription then you are good to go.

[stable turret]

true

at this point an icloud subscription is almost unavoidable

[bright vector]

Exactly

[stable turret]

in order to pay less

[steel stream]

I am using 70gb rn, but I also have iCloud

[green marsh]

it's super stupid on mac mini. 2x $599 mac mini with 16GB RAM/256GB SSD is $1/€1 cheaper than 1x mac mini with 16GB RAM/512GB SSD

[steel stream]

Why is smart things using 1.18 GB of data

you only control my soundbar what the hell

[shell void]

i would need a 1TB iPhone if i didn’t pay for cloud

[green marsh]

do you need to carry every photo/video on the phone all the time ?

[shell void]

it’s a pain in the ass to extract photos off of an iphone

so yeah i just keep them on the phone or in icloud

[frank zealot]

I'm contemplating changing to iphone when I upgrade next

[near thicket]

Do not fall for it

[pure garnet]

do not fall for a decent experience

[edgy laurel]

bro

[near thicket]

Android is better

[edgy laurel]

iPhone is better

[pure garnet]

phone wars in the big 25

[edgy laurel]

there, evened it out

[steel stream]

I <3 my iPhone I won't ever switch

[pure garnet]

i can’t switch anymore

afaik there’s no way to manage the apple card outside of the wallet app

[steel stream]

RIP

[pure garnet]

oh they do have a site

if i wanted the 1% cashback on the physical card only

[brisk eagle]

I was going to switch to android until Google pulled that shit with sideloading

[near thicket]

It's my opinion

[pure garnet]

and it was worded in quite an annoying way

[steel stream]

oh boy my apple watch is worth $50

[pure garnet]

would they even take mine

i’m still using a series 4

[steel stream]

that's prob like $20 lol

[pure garnet]

which i got to replace my series 0 when the s8 came out

[deep charm]

my issue is that i physically don't have a need for the pro 17

like i'm not a disgusting mobile gacha slave nor do i make movies on my phone

[steel stream]

I don't either, I simply just see if the trade in value is worth it

[deep charm]

but THAT FUCKING ORANGE

THEY STOLE LINUS ORANGE

[edgy laurel]

Years of Android before I went iPhone. I'm never going to back. Too convenient and slick

[deep charm]

i NEED that orange

[near thicket]

Okay then
What about
Android is superior

[deep charm]

iphone air is just the beta test for the foldable iphone and anyone who buys it is a sucker

[near thicket]

Or android is finer

[pure garnet]

still reads like a child wrote it

[edgy laurel]

Hey Android vs. iPhone is at least different for this channel than AMD vs Nvidia

[steel stream]

Imma put it in my back pocket sit down and have a butt shaped phone

[edgy laurel]

(i'm just shitposting because arguing over preferred phone is beyond hilarious)

[topaz veldt]

I'm 2FA

[deep charm]

gl bending titanium and steel reinforced battery tbh

[pure garnet]

when google finds a decent design language i’d be cool with whatever

[frank cypress]

how do we feel about the 3080 for $300 cad

[steel stream]

grrrr this device that handles my basic communications is better than your device that does the same thing

[steel stream]

stop it

[pure garnet]

but android has been fairly ugly since like android 11?

[steel stream]

i weigh 300 lbs

[pure garnet]

8.1 was the last ux i liked

[frank cypress]

for the dead pc

[near thicket]

Shitposting
Hehe

[pure garnet]

ampere is ewaste fr

[steel stream]

don't you have a 2080 ti to put in there or smth

[frank cypress]

yes.... but.... but....

yeah I dont really have an excuse

ampere is kinda ewasty but $300 cad is not bad

[near thicket]

Imo it's the opposite

[shell void]

they finally answered my prayer

[deep charm]

now that you mention it

[steel stream]

yeah I really like my natural titanium 16 pro, I would def rock this

[topaz veldt]

Yum yum

[deep charm]

how have they never done this bf

[deep charm]

is bro developing ultron

[near thicket]

4 H200 's

[wraith steeple]

[topaz veldt]

Gonna make some heat

[wraith steeple]

[whole coral]

LOL $2,000

iPhone 17 Pro Max 2 TB

[fringe vigil]

I’ve been through this so many damn times

can we change the subject

[brisk eagle]

That does look nice

[fringe vigil]

I think the iPhone looks like utter complete shit

[edgy laurel]

only reason they make stuff like this is for the people that film with them, they have the budget

a lot of things are shot on iphone

video is really, really good

normal people don't need 2TB of local storage

[merry stirrup]

and edit on their phones often for some ungodly reason

[edgy laurel]

ya

[merry stirrup]

😭

[hoary hatch]

Thank flying fuck on the grave of Steven Jobs

We have achieved 120hz on a non pro iPhone

[whole coral]

iPhone 17 costing $799 with 120 Hz and upgraded specs is actually good ngl

$999 on the air is a hard pill to swallow though

[fringe vigil]

Looks shit

[hoary hatch]

Yoooo
Apple 256gb minimum now

[fringe vigil]

Actually it’s okay, I just don’t like the pro

[hoary hatch]

That means Google will hopefully get rid of 128gb next year

[fringe vigil]

What’s different in these then

Compared to 16

[merry stirrup]

idk if im gonna/willing to spend 1k on an s25u should i just get a 17 pro

[hoary hatch]

Do you prefer iOS or Android

[steel stream]

Supposedly air only gets 3 hours less battery compared to 17 (video playback)

[steel stream]

iPhone 17 is actual a great deal now imo, air is just for people who wants to flex

[green marsh]

they are still missing the $399 model

[merry stirrup]

my girlfriend has one of the flips, it looks cool and feels nice at 120hz. I have used IOS forever and have never had an android

[hoary hatch]

Timmy Apple probably disagrees

[whole coral]

Buy the iPhone 17 if you can

I would skip out on the Pro this year

[merry stirrup]

i want a pro max

no if ands or buts i like the big phone

[steel stream]

lol they want you to get a battery pack for the Air

[merry stirrup]

only reason the s25u is a consideration is caue its a lil bigger than my current 12 pro max

[fringe vigil]

What if I got a 16 pro max

[hoary hatch]

It's easiest to stick to what you're used to

Get the air 😎

[fringe vigil]

Shall I trade in

[green marsh]

the original SE was an awesome device for software development. They killed that lineup sadly

[steel stream]

ball out my friend, get the 17pm

[merry stirrup]

how big is the air compared to a 12 pro max?

i really dont want to go back to small phone

[wraith steeple]

UPS should arrive with my last half of QDT3s and Protium Reservoir any minute now

[hoary hatch]

Do I look like apple.com/iPhone/compare to you

[merry stirrup]

yes

[hoary hatch]

Also you should go to a best buy once they have demo units set up and look at the size in person

[merry stirrup]

thanks for typing it for me

[merry stirrup]

YOU LIAR

[steel stream]

i got you floppa

[fringe vigil]

Shut up about iPhone talk

[steel stream]

i already had it pulled up

[merry stirrup]

mmmm

[fringe vigil]

just buy the damn phone

[wraith steeple]

Apple - think different

[merry stirrup]

so i go .2 smaller or .2 bigger

no same sized phone

[steel stream]

bigger is better

[hoary hatch]

6.5" it's bigger than the small phone and smaller than the big phone

[merry stirrup]

is the s25 ultra truly square or does it have those bullshit infinity edge

that is my least favorite feature of any android

[steel stream]

iPhone 17 is only 6.3"

[hoary hatch]

Flat display, rounded corners

[stable turret]

has anyone tried the airpods 3 live translation yet?

[fringe vigil]

Is the 17 pro max bigger than 16 PM

[merry stirrup]

okay thank god

[hoary hatch]

What the fuck is an infinity edge

[stable turret]

has anyone received their airpods pro 3

[steel stream]

not that I am aware

[merry stirrup]

thats the official name for the rounded curves

[hoary hatch]

No way that's the real name

[steel stream]

nah both are 6.9", nice

[merry stirrup]

i remember it being called that deadass 😭

[stable turret]

question:
will you guys spend $1500 on a new iphone, or will you use this money to upgade your current GPU?

[steel stream]

phone

[shell void]

i think it looks dramatically better than the 16 and i’m glad i waited

[steel stream]

I interact more with my phone compared to my GPU

[steel stream]

yeah it takes a second to get used to, but I prefer it

[merry stirrup]

i have a 5070ti. while 1500 would be close i couldnt get a 5090 with that

[steel stream]

honestly would look way better without the glass but it's fine

[merry stirrup]

so a phone

my 12 pro max has a shattered back glass and now pretty bad battery health

itll be abandoned or used as a camera phone

[steel stream]

use it as a camera phone

[merry stirrup]

i have an iphone 11 serving that duty rn

[steel stream]

12 pro had some pretty huge changes with the camera that are still in use to this day

[merry stirrup]

that 13 with the merked screen finally gave out

so i'll have to fr replace it

[merry stirrup]

yeah. and on my 12pm, the rear cameras are the only thing ic ared to keep in good condition

its geniunely destroyed

screen scratched beyond belief, back shattered, dust all in it

[steel stream]

damn what you do

[merry stirrup]

i dont use a case, and i had dropped it on a tiny pebble in carls juinor and it decimated the back

[steel stream]

damn

[merry stirrup]

so i started caring way less about my phone

[steel stream]

I wish I had the balls to not have a case

[merry stirrup]

cause well its already broken

i prefer no case

[pure garnet]

my first week of university i cracked my camera glass on one of the chairs in my lecture hall

[steel stream]

Legit I had a nightmare like last month that I shattered my phone back glass

[pure garnet]

$50 for a local shop was robbery

[merry stirrup]

i didnt have a case until i broke the back cause i didnt want it to get even worse

cause once the back is open you get so much more dust and moisture in the phone

and its effectively on a timer before it wants to die for good

[pure garnet]

took it to apple for a battery replacement and then i saw my 12pm from swappa had the worlds longest carfax

[merry stirrup]

i already occasionally get random restarts on it, so i know its cooked

[steel stream]

seems like back glass should be better on this new pro lineup

[pure garnet]

the previous owner got 2 back glass replacements and like 3 front screens

[merry stirrup]

LOL

[whole coral]

I have an OttorBox Drop+ case

[steel stream]

iPhone 12pm of theseus

[merry stirrup]

i have some generic clear case

[whole coral]

It’s so nice

[merry stirrup]

i think it was the og apple clear case but its merked now too

[steel stream]

I've got some spiegen $10 black case

[pure garnet]

i always buy a spigen case because they’re cheap and fairly thin

[steel stream]

amen my brother

[merry stirrup]

i use no case for the thickness reason

[pure garnet]

but i haven’t broken a phone with them yet

[whole coral]

I need a durable case on my iPhone because I’m clumsy lol

[merry stirrup]

its just easier and the chassis of the phone feels infinitely more high quality than a 10$ piece of rubber i put over it

[pure garnet]

i have the liquid air on my 15pm

[whole coral]

I definitely drop my iPhone sometimes

[steel stream]

yeah my 16 pro feels great to hold

[merry stirrup]

if it doesnt live my 10 drops on concrete during its lifespan it shouldnt be 1000$

[pure garnet]

and then i have the magic john tiktok shop screen protector

[steel stream]

magic john <3

[bold spruce]

i want my pc on but monitor off so my games download overnight, how do i do it?

[merry stirrup]

turn off your monitor

[pure garnet]

yeah it’s been fire

[merry stirrup]

and auto sleep 💀

[bold spruce]

i have a 2 dollar case from temu

[steel stream]

I'm rocking the no screen protector rn, because I fucked up applying it

[bold spruce]

but the rgb turns of

[steel stream]

I am cursed, I can apply screen protectors for other people perfectly, but mine get so fucked

[pure garnet]

i’d ask how you messed it up but i failed to install the switch 2 protector the other day

i pulled the tab before the film so it just fell out of the alignment tool

so if i ever gotta install that i gotta do it manually like the old days

[steel stream]

I had an alignment tool and still fucked it up LOL, idk how

[bold spruce]

im new to pc, if i turn my pc on sleep mode, will my games download

[steel stream]

no

[pure garnet]

that’s why i like the magic john

[steel stream]

turn off sleep timer

[pure garnet]

if you actually follow the directions its impossible to fuck up

you just pull the dust thing and then the tab to release it

[bold spruce]

how do i do it so that my games download while i sleep

[pure garnet]

and it’s on there perfectly centered every time

[hoary hatch]

"that deadass" is a much better name for the edge display

[steel stream]

turn off your auto sleep timer in control panel, then just turn off your monitor

[pure garnet]

i just disable auto sleep on my desktops always

i’ll sleep it with the button when i’m done with it

[gloomy vault]

im a little too broke for that any other options 😔😔😔

[pure garnet]

floppa and floopie

what a combo

[bold spruce]

im confused

[serene sonnet]

idk how many have heard about my server plans and what not, but honestly I might just go with the cheapest route, a ryzen 5 4500 or similar, and a cheaper b550 board (atx for expansion), honestly the cheapest I can get for my simple minecraft and jellyfin server, not worth trying to find a board for my old i5-8400

[bold spruce]

and my wifi is now shit

[gloomy vault]

lmao

the iphone 17 air in america is so cheap bruh

its like $400 more for me

[serene sonnet]

@merry stirrup you might remember some tho

[bold spruce]

can someone help me

[pure garnet]

our prices are pretax

[gloomy vault]

$999 is pre tax?

[pure garnet]

yes

[gloomy vault]

i see

[pure garnet]

it’ll be like $1200 or something for me probably

[gloomy vault]

how much would it be after tax?

[steel stream]

for me, 1058.94

[pure garnet]

nvm 1080

for my state

[gloomy vault]

still good

its USD$1300 for me

[steel stream]

yeah but I would rather just get a pro

[gloomy vault]

yeah

[strange ginkgo]

a regular power bank
or a phone phone a company that respects your wallet

[shell void]

iPhone 17 Professional Maximum Silver 256GB

[steel stream]

the right pick

already preordered?

[shell void]

naw preorders open the 12th

i probably won’t preorder but we’ll see

[steel stream]

ah

[shell void]

i don’t want it shipped to my house, i wanna pick it up at a store

[gloomy vault]

im tryna upgrade from my 13 base model though

[pure garnet]

you should probably pre order for in store pickup if you want it day 1

i think 17 base or 17 pro non max is calling to me if i were to upgrade

[whole coral]

Yayyy finally iOS 26 public

[shell void]

no pro = no bitches

[whole coral]

Get me off the beta

[gloomy vault]

personally it looks pretty ugly though

[pure garnet]

that’s an rc its still technically a beta

[whole coral]

Ohhhhh

Ok nvm

iOS 26 public is coming out September 15th

https://x.com/theapplehub/status/1965481143408767384?s=46

Apple Hub (@theapplehub)

iOS 26 will be available on September 15!

X · Sep 9, 2025, 6:23 PM

[steel stream]

finally

[pure garnet]

i mean it’s extremely like to be the same build

but the gm is the final stop of the beta process

[steel stream]

I assume iPad OS, TV os, watch OS are all coming on the same day

[pure garnet]

i’m probably waiting for 26.1

[steel stream]

yes I will install it on my only phone

[strange ginkgo]

a new OS can be worse than the old one
are you sure this is actually better than your current version?

[pure garnet]

i remember 7.0 being bad

[gloomy vault]

im leaning to either getting the base or the air

[steel stream]

i don't give a shit I wanna do karaoke on my AppleTV

[gloomy vault]

im gonna get it when im on holiday in china ngl its way cheaper

[pure garnet]

no new apple tv model right

my ebay parley paid off

[serene sonnet]

correction I meant AMD Ryzen 5 5500

[pure garnet]

what gpu are you using with that

[gloomy vault]

youre updating?

[steel stream]

current rumor is October

[pure garnet]

i paid 80 bones for a basically new 4k gen 3 with remote

wifi only but i don’t really need ethernet for it

[wheat shore]

they finally did it

[steel stream]

I just hope the new one has good audio passthrough

[pure garnet]

my audio setup is very cursed atm

[steel stream]

If I could ditch my fire stick I would be so happy

[wheat shore]

iphone 17 air, thoughts, opinions?

[steel stream]

it's a phone

[pure garnet]

i’m using like

[steel stream]

it's not the product for me

[serene sonnet]

probably an old GTX 960 2GB

[pure garnet]

rca to 3.5mm female adapter

then my creative pebbles for tv speakers

[steel stream]

woof

yeah that's not good lol

[pure garnet]

i think that has nvenc?

[serene sonnet]

it does

[pure garnet]

should work then

[steel stream]

I currently have to use a firestick connected right into my soundbar as it actually has audio passthrough

[pure garnet]

my problem with the tv setup i have now is that until i invest in an oled i’m basically getting something barely better

[gloomy vault]

i like its gimmick but the fact that its priced so closely to the pro

[steel stream]

no one likes to support passing through the blu-ray audio formats

[pure garnet]

i could do better audio but the pebbles sound good enough and high end audio for a 1080p ips tv is not the move

[serene sonnet]

yeah realistically, this is what will get me away the cheapest while still being a really solid option

[steel stream]

get a $5000 sound setup for a 1080p IPS

[pure garnet]

the tcl q7 caught my eye in costco but i don’t think it fits in my space

[shell void]

good its a crap tv

[steel stream]

keep an eye out for mini-leds like Hisense U8QG and I forget the name of the TCL competitor

[pure garnet]

better than the samsung crystal 🥀

it was probably just the brightness cranked in store

[steel stream]

Scamsung*

[wheat shore]

i was hoping it would be $600, but its apple...

[serene sonnet]

though for my use case, I'm not sure if I should be going with an ATX board for like m.2 drive expansions or what not, or if a matx will probably do fine

[gloomy vault]

i was expecting $999 for the air but i wouldve expected $1299 at least for the pro models

i might just suck it up and get a base model

the samsung crystal in person was so laughably bad i can’t imagine people actually purchase it

[gloomy vault]

thing is apple is advertising the 40hr of video playback with a damn battery pack

[steel stream]

look at your local BestBuy and see if they have any hisense u8n left in stock

[pure garnet]

still too big

i can’t go over 48in atm

42 oled would be the move if i spent money i think

[steel stream]

ah i see

[pure garnet]

i don’t like wearing glasses in bed so the resolution doesn’t bother me

and the input handling on the old vizio is fairly solid

we have a u6h in the living room and the input latency is awful

does iphone 17 pro use c1x

[gloomy vault]

they all do

[stable turret]

ohh i see

i asked cuz apple only extensively mentioned c1x in their iphone 17 air article

[steel stream]

they mentioned it during air probs to really drive home the "efficiency" on the air

[gloomy vault]

battery pack 💀

defeats the whole purpose of it being thin

[hoary hatch]

Naw
Air is always the middle of the lineup

Actually nvm air name is a bad example cause the MacBooks are weird

[pure garnet]

macbook air

[steel stream]

it gets decent batery without it, idk why they include it. It must have shit battery during basic tasks or smth

[hoary hatch]

They had the 12" just MacBook for a short while
But I think it was more expensive than the air entry price

[pure garnet]

i mean if it was 2008 you’d be right

[hoary hatch]

Like 2015

[gloomy vault]

to make it not seem completely overshadowed by the base and pro models

[pure garnet]

you had the entry level macbook, the ultra thin air, and the pro

[steel stream]

yeah idk

[serene sonnet]

welp

will just go with the atx one

[pure garnet]

tbf they’re probably about equal

[serene sonnet]

they are basically the same lol

[gloomy vault]

major difference between motherboards are just rear IO + vrm phases

[serene sonnet]

basically comes down to matx vs atx

[gloomy vault]

you dont need a flashy mobo unless youre oc'ing and in that case get a crosshair

[pure garnet]

atx has more slots may as well

[serene sonnet]

oh yeah no I'm kinda going the bare minimum, but also one that has some expansion

that's why I'm most likely going the atx one for the slight extra cost

[pure garnet]

it’s ryzen so it barely has lanes anyway

[gloomy vault]

yeah for a mobo just get what you need

that also has a vrm heatsink

[serene sonnet]

and q flash
