They’re lying.

They’ve actually fixed that on iOS. I haven’t tried with Mac OS but it probably actually prompts you to dial now. That said whoever thought it was a good idea to dial immediately should be burned at the stake.

Why’s the link to the thumbnail and not the actual video itself?

Since OP didn’t link a picture.

I’d argue phone design peaked at the iPhone 13 pro in that amazing blue color. The polished stainless steel feels amazing in the hand. Apple switching to titanium was a mistake. It has sharp edges, but unlike other phones, it felt nice in my hand. Plus it was the first iPhone with mmWave 5g, and the last (in the US) with a physical sim card slot. If only it had USB C I’d still be using it as my main phone. I keep mine around purely because I like to fondle it.

Apple sometimes takes a day to publish them. Kinda annoying.

There is nothing of value in iOS 26. If your device has AI then there’s some things.

In fact I would argue it’s almost universally worse in almost every single way. I wholesale regret updating.

How did you clean it? The schmoo gets jammed in the bottom of the port and after 10 years of insertion cycles it gets really stuck down there. If you can find one get a thumb tack with a really tiny (but still pointy) tip and use that to scrape it out. Do multiple cycles of cleaning, blowing compressed air, inserting/removing cable repeat.

The pins are only on one side of the receptacle so figure out where that is, and keep the metal thumb tack to that side so you don’t short/damage the pins. Also while you’re at it inspect the pins. They should be gold. If they’re brown then maybe the gold coating got wiped out somehow. I destroyed a cable (not the phones end thankfully) by having some water in there and it shorted some of the pins.

They also make kits for cleaning ports. I have a USB C one that looks like an asterisk that I like. The dingus is plastic and soft so you shouldn’t be able to short the pins with it, but it’s not as good at scraping out the really nasty stuff.

Oh also try a stiff plastic bristle brush.

turns out, you can use linux to reprogram the SPD data on the RAM module! you change its identifier to 1066 and the macbook recognized it as such.

You shouldn’t need to reprogram the ram at all. If the machine only supports up to X it should only run the ram at X speeds. And would only run slower if the timing was worse on the faster (mhz) stick.

thankfully, we got msr-tools. the thing can patch CPU’s registers and en/disable some things, and one of them is BD_PROCHOT.

You also want to be careful with that. They throttle the CPU like that because power supplies can’t handle the instantaneous spikes of turbo boost adequately. Particularly if you use a lower wattage charger. It’s probably fine, but it might be unstable depending on the load.

with WSL it runs X11, I’m curious if they’ll ever port wayland to WSL. Probably a lot harder to do than X11.

Wonder how they’d feel if people started doing that to their houses? I’m sure Noem would be on the news the very next day condemning those “terrorist threats”

I mean realistically there’s only one choice. And they’re going me too! to everything Nvidia does, but 10% less.

Intel cards are alright (on windows at least). But I don’t think they have anything that would be an upgrade from your 3080.

No

Parts in suppressors are consumables. The serial number is on the washer so I assume that’s the part that can’t be replaced.

With the oil filter suppressors only the adapter is the registered part. You can replace the filters as they wear out (which of course is gonna be quick)

Namecheap has random number only xyz domains for like a dollar so I have one of those.

If you’d respond to that comment it would have made a lot more sense. What if the sorting of the comments put that post at the bottom and yours at the top? You can’t just assume people would connect the dots when you respond to the wrong thing.

3rd party batteries are rarely dangerous. They usually just kinda suck. They lie about their capacity, they degrade quicker than OEM.

Your battery is at the point where I’d start to consider getting a replacement. Just know that if you sort by price low to high you could get a battery worse than your current one. But buying expensive doesn’t mean you’ll get a good one either. They’re kinda just hit or miss.

Started when I was like 14 but I just didn’t care enough to get the license until 18.

They may not have realized that the advent of AI means those updates can now be scraped

You don’t need AI to run a web crawler wtf. Shit many times there’s an API you can just hit.

Simply unplugging the cell antenna is probably enough.

But on my Outback I had to get a custom adapter made to bypass the box, and keep my front speakers and mic. It cost maybe $80 for the whole custom adapter to be made for me so it was plug and play, but well worth it.

Wifi 6E on my Intel network cards has been a PITA on any distro I’ve used. 6ghz either doesn’t work at all, or it constantly switches from 2.4/5 to 6ghz, then back to the point that Wifi is unusable, and I have to manually disable it. AX200, AX201, AX211 all suffering.
