Passenger with CPAP

Taking an LAX to LHR overnight flight and plan to sleep with my CPAP.
I’ve talked with travel accessibility folks at the airline and they added it to my account that I’ll be bringing it with a battery.
Do flight attendants like a quick heads-up/checkin before we use it in-flight?
Just to show them I’m not plugging it into the plane outlet, have a battery, humidity/climate control off?
I for sure don’t want to annoy an FA if they see it and no one told them. (Even if noted in passenger notes)
Thanks so much! :)

Aggressive Maillard Reaction or Burnt?

$70 Filet Medium Rare - Solid Crust or Burnt? Tasted a little burnt and bitter, but didn’t have the gall to cause a fuss.

M4 MacBook Pro - Performance Issues?

I started playing classic when I got my M1 MacBook Pro in December 2020. Played on that bad boy all the way through Cata phase 1, before taking a break till until the dark portal opened up for TBC Anniversary, playing on a MacBook Pro M4.
My M1 chewed through the first couple expansions, and ended up setting graphics to “1” in WOTLK, but never lagged or stuttered.
Now raiding SSC/TK on the M4 on gig fiber, I dropping down to sub 30 frame rates, even at only “2” or “3” graphics and rending distance at “95%”.
What am I missing? Is there a graphics setting I’ve got enabled that’s killing my performance?
Having nothing running in background except discord.
Resource Monitor shows CPU and Memory well below 50% utilization
Is it something with the Liquid Retina display?
Totally lost on this one!
Any guidance is appreciated!

Random Service Issue

In Orange County, CA - Driving to work event in Long Beach and on a call with my wife (who’s on the same phone plan) and the call disconnects randomly.
When I tried to call her back it said the number wasn’t available, which I found out was the same for her. But I could call other people, my maps kept working, and streaming music. My brothers are also on my plan and had the same experience.
After I arrived, I get a call from my wife, then brothers, saying what they experienced and now everyone works.
My bill have zero balance and I’m current, we’re all iPhone 16 or 17 pro maxes. Any idea what that could have been?

Just got back to the mainland from our stay at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki, absolutely amazing. The view and balcony was breathtaking, being across the street from Waikiki was out of this world. The valet area imo was amazing, made ins and out so ease with Ubers. Rooms could use a refresh, seemed like everything had a lot of miles on them but I digress. I have an observation and a question.
I felt like this was 100% a Hawaiian vacation experience hotel, but there was a “business” feel to it, maybe I’m not phrasing that right potentially. Given what I’ve said above, this might be antithetical, but it felt soulless? Very well could have just been the “Waikiki Mega Tourist Hotel Experience” - Thoughts? And my question, where can I get ocean view, balcony, “modern” rooms at another property? Loved and would recommend HRW but would like to try another property whilst maintaining what I loved about HRW. Moana Surfrider potentially? We originally were going to do Hilton Hawaiian Village instead of HRW, but tons of parent friends who went said it’s very family oriented/lots of kids.
Love to see the happy families, but it’s just my wife and I. 30yo corporate data analyst drones.
Literally any and all thoughts/opinions welcome!
