I preordered the Pixel 11 Pro XL with the intention of switching over from Apple. But, I’m starting to doubt this decision. I can still cancel my order…

I’m so torn… there’s so much noise out there about specs and all that. There’s also the changing from iOS that feels daunting. I know this seems like a rage bait post but it’s not.

Loving the Air (former Apple Watch user)

I’ve been a longtime Apple Watch user. Lately, I’ve been getting sick of having a mini phone/computer on my wrist. Being too connected to my phone.

I bought a Fitbit Air and am loving it! It’s barely noticeable on my wrist and tracks the health metrics I care about.

Google knocked it out of the park with this device!

Introducing My Boy!

I wanted to introduce my boy, Dax! My best friend! He’s 4 and slightly overweight (I have a hard time saying “no” to his puppy eyes). He’s such a sweet boy!

Battery Pack & Heat

Hey all! I believe that some heat is unavoidable when charging with MagSafe, but does anyone have a MagSafe battery pack that they recommend that limits heating? Maybe this doesn’t exist… 😅

Lifespan Expectations of ‘25 Active

I have a 2025 Active with the I4 EcoBoost. I’ve put almost 20k miles on it so far and absolutely love it! I’m diligent about having the oil changed every 4k-5k miles with full synthetic. I’m planning to change the transmission fluid every 50k miles and follow all of Ford’s maintenance advice.

Realistically, can this vehicle make it 200k+ miles? What else should I consider doing (or not doing) to keep it in the best mechanical shape possible?

11-Game Ticket Package for 2026-27!

I’m super pumped! I just bought an 11-game ticket package for the upcoming season! Haven’t been to a home game since 2012 (moved to AZ for 10 years). Can’t wait!

I have a [Caudabe] problem…

Up until I found out about Caudabe cases, I was never loyal to a case brand. That changed in February when I bought my first-ever Caudabe case (an open black Sheath). Since then, I’ve bought:

• Black Precise Sheath
• Moonstone Paragon
• Azurite Paragon
• Frost Synthesis

I just ordered the Eucalyptus open version Sheath. Help, I think I have a problem!

In all seriousness, shoutout to the Caudabe team for making the best iPhone cases out there!

Synthesis is underrated

I had been using my Sheath and Paragon cases a lot recently. However, I put my Synthesis case on a couple of days ago and I forgot how great of a case it is!

17PM Heating Up

This isn’t meant to be one of “those” posts to complain or cause arguments. I’ve noticed that my 17PM is getting unusually warm lately, especially when doing things like FaceTime. Don’t get me wrong, FaceTime has always made the phone warmer. What I’m talking about is abnormally warm beyond what it usually gets.

I’m using the same case (Caudabe Sheath), I’m in my house with AC, nothing different. I’m going to reach out to Apple Support but am curious if anyone else is experiencing this too.

Using Two Phones?

I'm curious if anyone used a 17 Pro Max and an iPhone Air and then just switch between them? A coworker was telling me he uses two phones depending on what he's doing. He mainly uses the 17 Pro Max but will switch to the Air when he's out and about and wants a lighter phone.

It seems like a lot of money for two phones, but I'm curious if anyone else does this (no judgment).

Think Billy is feeling left out?

I wonder how much Billy has been trying to work his way into all of the trade action? I’m sure he’s trying, but a lack of high-end assets to trade are hurting things I think. Or maybe he’s really laser-focused on Larkin?

I’m not sure what to think…

Antonov An-124 Ruslan

An Antonov An-124 Ruslan back in 2019 at Sky Harbor in Phoenix. Not the best picture (crazy how smartphone cameras have changed in 7 years), but it was so cool to see this in person!
