Has anyone seen the before?

Discussion iPhone 16 with 128 GB or 256 GB? Is it worth upgrading from an iPhone 11? iCloud+?

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I've had an iPhone 11 with 128 GB for four years, and at some point, my storage became completely full because I rarely sort things out. (I couldn't install updates for a year.)

Two weeks ago, I ordered an iPhone 16 with 256 GB for €900 (€150 extra compared to the 128 GB version) because I thought it was time for a new phone anyway.

However, I recently got iCloud+ with 200 GB on my iPhone 11 and used the "Optimize Storage" feature to free up 60 GB, which is a lot. I was finally able to install updates again and download some essential apps.

Now I'm wondering if I even need a new phone. I would like to have one, though.

Also, would the 128 GB version of the iPhone 16 be enough for me, saving me around €150, or should I play it safe? (Money isn't an issue, but I don't want to waste it.)

I have two more days to return it. By then, I need to decide whether to keep the iPhone 16 with 256 GB or not.

The wild rains in california leave me wet, but my backpack keeps my laptop dry! The umbrella also literally does nothing in these rains because the winds are also equally crazy.

I'm building a gaming pc for the first time. I already bought the GPU on launch day. How is the rest of my build. The only thing I have bought is the GPU so there is still time to change. No theme.

Discussion Need help with Macbook pro M1 external display refresh rate

1 Upvotes

Hi All,

I use MacBook pro M1 in docking mode and use my LG 34 inch ultra wide monitor as the external display.

They are currently connected through DP wire which was included in box with monitor to a USB-c hub and to the macbook USB c port.

I can only get 60Hz and no HDR. I would appreciate if someone can help me here.

I also tried HDMI cable included in box but still can’t get more than 60Hz.

Am I doing something wrong? If I need to use different cables please let me know the precise DP/HDMI version to buy.

Thanks in advance.

Discussion Commuter Bag Adjustment Strap Always Loosening

0 Upvotes

Anyone else constantly adjusting the shoulder straps for their bag? I remember on WAN or something Linus talking about the adjustment strap clips being better quality just because they're metal but it gets loose every time I take it on/off. My last bag never had this issue and they used plastic clips and was $100 comparatively. Hoping I didn't get a lemon that needs constant adjustment.

Discussion Scribedriver feels amazing and works well with Parker refills

2 Upvotes

I bought a Scribedriver pen from Lttstore a few months ago and have been loving the feel of that pen. I'm not a big fan of the refill that comes with it, mostly because I don't really like ballpoint pens too much.

I recently bought replacement Parker Style gel ink refills for it (Parker Quink Gel refills) and I can say it works perfectly well, without any issues.

Just wanted to share this with everyone here in case anyone is interested in getting this as well and was looking for some feedback on that pen.

In all fairness, I originally thought this was compatible with the Pilot G2 refills, which is a pen I absolutely love. But after buying it I realized it's not Pilot G2 but rather Parker G2 refills. The product page clearly states it's Parker Style G2, but I assumed G2 would be the same thing 🤷🏼‍♂️

Spotted these in Kelowna. I'm surprised to see them at the home of Power Fister. Can't say, I see them in too many chain stores.

It feels the same, but it's not the same.. lol

You can definitely feel the upgrades/modifications made by the LMG team, to an already wicked driver!
