I’ve had the opposite experience. I’m on a Pixel 8 running Graphene. So far today (8.5 hours since last charge), I’m at 87%. The screen time meter says 90 minutes of screen time since last charge. I’ve been running Bluetooth for about 4 hours, and WiFi full time.
I’d typically be under 60% at this point when I was on stock Android.
You mean the AI that was trained on Reddit shitposts will be helping advance science? The AI that recommended putting glue on pizza, and that you won’t fall off a cliff if you just keep waking?
What could go wrong?
Me too. I have a Brother printer. When I first set it up, Windows printed everything in inverse black and white until I hunted down the correct driver. Windows also never figured out how to wake it up, so I always had to manually wake it up. And it simply never worked with the scanner.
Linux got everything right without me having to fuss with anything.
This was the push I needed to switch to Graphene. The Gemini offer popped up for me a couple of weeks ago. The only options were something like ‘Yes’ or ‘Not now’. No option to say never, which of course means they would bug me again and again.
So I reported it as Spam and made the jump.
I can relate to coming back from a long layoff. I was out pretty much all of last year due to a persistent back tweak. The programs I use taper up the volume over the first 3 or 4 weeks. As I got back into it this year, I just repeated the first week of a program over and over, gradually increasing the weights as my fitness returned.
When I felt like I was stalling, I moved on to the next week, repeating it until the next stall. And so on. This is a pretty conservative approach that makes sure I’m ready for the added volume.
Absolutely. 4 movements in a workout is plenty, IMO. Depending on your rep/set scheme, you may be over doing it if you’re coming back from a long layoff.
Start tapering in some accessory work as you acclimate to your routine.
If you’re feeling completely wiped workout after workout, take a closer look at your volume and intensity. Too much of that can be a problem. Head over to Barbell Medicine and see what they have to say about session RPE (sRPE).
When I had it, my only symptoms were in my nose, too. Not nearly as bad as you, but I constantly felt like I had a bunch of water up my nose… The same feeling you get when you swim on your back underwater. It was a really weird sensation.
This is spot on. A family member of mine is a high school teacher and faces everything you laid out. I’d add the seemingly constant threats of lawsuits and violence to further illustrate the untenable atmosphere.
Not necessarily. It varies by manufacturer, and some manufacturers use both methods for the various HD’s they make. Both work just fine, and both have their strengths and weaknesses.
Former industry guy here.
Some HD’s park the head on a plastic ramp at the OD of the platter stack. I don’t see that structure in your picture.
Others park the head on the platter itself. This area is always not usable area, since contact isn’t great for data integrity. This is a simpler solution but comes at the cost of reduced data capacity.
I don’t recall if this park area is on the ID or OD (it’s been a long time), but the position in your picture is reasonable since it would cost less disk area…
I’d argue this is their best album. Full of bangers! 🤘
I’d lean toward the way you have it now. I like having the owner profile as my daily driver. Any app that I have doubts about gets its own profile.
If you haven’t already, check out the Graphene forum and search for profiles. There have been lots of discussions about this, and you’ll find some good examples for various privacy/security needs.
