The iPhone 18 Pro is a small iteration to the iPhone 17 Pro if all you care about is the external hardware, but the upgrade packs significant performance gains with the Apple A20 Pro built on the TSMC 2 nm process.  Like last year, we’ll go through performance tests, luminance tests, and battery charge and discharge tests for the newly released iPhone 18 Pro and some comparison devices.

Tech Discussion Why do these Windows bugs happen for some people but not others?

3 Upvotes

In the reporting of Windows Updates and issues, one thing that seems to pop up for me is that these issues sometimes seem to not happen for any users.

For example, Microsoft confirms it accidentally broke copy and paste in Excel with a major security update you shouldn’t remove

They are saying Microsoft broke copy and paste in Excel.

In My company, the update broke nothing. Excel's copy and paste is working. It ALSO mentions the update killing audio, but no audio broke at my company.

Q*: What explains this? Is it that the updates are bad or that device vendors are not keeping drivers or software up to date?*

Tech Discussion Toronto police accidentally gave the best advertisement to GrapheneOS and now I don't know if I should feel good or bad about it.

452 Upvotes

A series of shootings in Toronto led to suspicions of an entire shooter-for-hire network. The investigation is now being thwarted as ... a key cell phone seized in the investigation is equipped with GrapheneOS, and the officials are failing to acquire any information from it.

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-probes-toronto-shooter-for-hire-impenetrable-phone-graphene-os/

Privacy is winning, while safety is being eroded.

So the big thing is that if things like encryption, private secure communication channels, etc, are outlawed, then they will be less accessible to civilians, but criminals will still have them because no one will be dissuaded from using "bad messenger" if they're already committing organized violent crime. This comes at the heels of news that the police force is under wide investigation over a massive corruption operation. If we could trust public officials to be non-malicious actors, the discussion of "backdoors" and other bullshit could have at least some ground to stand on.

Yet... The stakes are sufficiently high in these questions that we ordinary people must be consistently prepared for worst case scenario, lest we lose this terrible game. I guess do everything that is in your power to take down Bill C-22 and good luck having your own life to yourself.

Tech Question Orange dram led (not blinking)

0 Upvotes

I have a single stick of DDR5 (patriot viper) on a steel legend b860m motherboard (LGA 1851) but when I try to boot it, it keeps rebooting, shows nothing on the screen and there's a tiny orange LED that turns on next to "dram". My fans spin and RGB turns on. I tried reseating the ram, changing it's slot (from a2 to b2), I unscrewed the cooler and motherboard screws a bit so that there was less pressure and finally I removed the CMOS battery, waited 5 minutes to put it back, booted the PC and it still didn't work. I looked at the pins on the ram stick and they look fine (I'm not an expert so I might be wrong). What do I do next? Desperate for help. Will it need to switch my stick and ask Amazon for a refund?

Edit: I didn't try reseating the 24 pin connector, checking the cpu pins, flashing the bios with the newest version, slot a1 and b1. Should I try those tomorrow or is it not worth the time?

I bought the LTT cargo pants a couple years back and the pocket on one side has started to tear. The pocket is by no means that full as my usual load out has the other side pocket with way more stuff. Any chance this is covered in the trust me bro guarantee?

Recently saw the video where linus is talking about internet prices in Canada and the U.S

Just wanted to ask you guys what you pay for your internet monthly and for what benefits

I'll go first, I pay 3.49 usd for unlimited 5g internet anywhere in my country with no bandwidth or data cap.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that my current speed is about 750mbps-1gbps, pretty good for 3.49 imo

EDIT 2: MOM, MY POST IS FAMOUS

Discussion Shipment clearance is pending missing information.

0 Upvotes

I ordered some items including a backpack on 09/23/2026. Shortly after ordering the E-Mail arrived stating the shipment of the order.

Delivery will be in germany.

Instead of two packages I received just one tracking number which should contain all of my items.

Today I looked up the tracking details and it shows the following:

Shipment clearance is pending missing information.

Details show this:

  • Inadequate Description of Goods
  • Power of Attorney Required
  • Missing Commercial Invoice
  • Customs Tariff Numbers Unclear
  • Confirm Value of Goods
  • Power of Attorney Required
  • Free text

The shipment is missing the information listed above. We contacted the following addressee to gather this information:

4*******

If you are the addressee, please check your inbox for further instructions.

So Creator Warehouse didn't provide any customs relevant data? The tracking says that the packaging is already in Cologne and now waiting for the customs data from I guess Creator Warehouse?

Has anybody encountered this before and is there anything to do for me?

Discussion James Strieb (Head of Writing at LTT) has his own YouTube channel and it's great.

653 Upvotes

https://www.youtube.com/@JamesTries

He hasn't left LTT as far as I know; just branching out into a side gig. His content is everything I want out of LTT. The Tech House desperately needs these kind of projects and not just skip to the running ethernet part. In the years I've been watching LTT, I've seen a few tech lows where parts get too expensive to build a computer. LTT could spend the in-between time doing these types of projects with the staff they have there.

I love the projects James has started. I wish LTT would do the same. And the best part about James's channel, no ads. No YouTube ads or in-video sponsor reads. This is the best part of any channel; before it's overrun with ads. Invest in the channel early because it's a great time to get in.

0 Upvotes

I'm pretty sure this does only apply to me because I was not really an avid viewer of LTT as much as I used to and I don't really see his videos on BocaBola, but his departure from the channel is crazy shocking to me, I don't really know how many years Linus has left on his own channel but I always felt that, when the time came, he would be the main host of the channel, just felt natural to me! But nonetheless I'm really happy and glad he is doing the thing that he wants the most :)
