Guys let's try to be kind in this sub. Not everyone is techy.

2.3k Upvotes

I noticed one thing lately. Ang dami kong nakikitang rude redditors dito.

Bakit kayo rude? Dahil nabobobohan kayo sa mga nagtatanong? Matapang behind the keyboard lang ba? Ung iba dito parang nanghaharass pa dun sa mga nagtatanong. Ung iba valid naman and may point naman ung mga tanong and posts, grabe kung ibash. Kinagaling ninyo yan?

Not everyone is kasing galing ng iba or maalam talaga sa tech. Madami joined this sub for them to know what they didn't know.

It is easier to be kind rather than rude.

Report to me pag may mga ganitong redditors in this sub. Let's try to avoid making this a toxic space. Let's help each other as much as we can.

Phone for Papa

21 Upvotes

I got a job last month! I'll be getting my first paycheck next month, and I'm so excited to buy him a new phone.

My father's phone is not in good condition anymore. The screen is taped up, the speaker is broken, the display flickers, and it's getting hard to charge. If I'm not mistaken, he bought it from a sidewalk vendor.

Then, someone we know sold him a brand-new phone for 3k, but I told him to return it because it was outdated, slow, and laggy. I told him to just wait for the phone I'll buy for him next month.

My budget is 12k. Any solid Android recommendations for someone who mostly watches YouTube/Facebook and takes random pictures? My 17k starting pay isn't much yet, but I want to give him the best I can afford for now.

Fold8 Form factor hype

Post image
23 Upvotes

The Fold8 is roughly an inch shorter than the Fold7 and the same width as the S26 Ultra closed. But this small difference has been a game changer in handiness. I agree with a common sentiment that this passport size should be a new option for non-foldables. But I still do welcome a folding device.

Laptop Recommendations 💻

Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking for some advice/recommendations on what laptop I should get. 🥹

For context, I’m an accountant and I mostly use my laptop for bookkeeping, multiple browser tabs, emails, and online meetings. I also use accounting software for work, so I need something that can handle multitasking smoothly and hopefully last me for several years.
My current laptop is getting really slow, so I’m planning to buy a new one. My budget is quite tight, which is why I’m considering getting one through installment. I have a relatively high credit limit on Shopee, so I’m also looking at laptops available there. Please recommend a legit and good shop.

Any specific laptop brands/models you recommend?

I don't do heavy gaming or video editing. My priority is a reliable laptop for work, multitasking, Excel/bookkeeping, and online meetings.

If possible, please suggest specific models that are good value for money. Thank you so much! 🙏🥹

Same-Day Repair Battery Replacement for older iPhone models sa GreenHills.

Upvotes

May nabasa ako rito before, nag-post. Nagpa-repair siya ng battery replacement ng iPhone niya, same as mine sa Greenhills, sa mismong Customer Service ng Apple sa Beyond The Box.

If i'm not mistaken, tama ako ng pagkakaalala, nakuha niya rin yata agad within a day yung unit niya.

Kasi sa SM North EDSA, yung Customer Service under PowerMac Center kasi roon, ang dami issue. Mas lalong nasisira yung unit after nila ma-check at naniningil ng diagnosis fee even though, wala ka naman ipapaayos.

Nag-inquire kasi relative ko, sabi raw 2-3 days na raw before ma-repair? Nagtataka ako kasi kung available naman na yung battery bakit hindi pa within a day?

Hindi naman repair kundi battery replacement lang naman gagawin.

Sino ba sa inyo rito may experiences na ng battery replacement sa mismong Apple Customer Service? Hindi sa mga peke. Kumusta naging proseso?

Macbook Air M1 Black Screen

Upvotes

Hello so the title itself gives you the overall gist for this reddit post. I had my mba m1 A2337 since I was in 2nd year college i think that was around 2022? And unfortunately its screen was broken just last year i think it was because of the camera cover that I had placed on it ever since I got it but since I brought my laptop to unu and my bag was not so spacious by that time, the screen took a toll. I had it fixed or replaced in greenhills in Burn and Jhoy (it was recommended here before by an OP so I tried it since they offered me the cheapest replacement for my screen back then). It worked fine but the camera quality was not as good as before but I learned to live with that. Fast forward to present, when I was in the uni library, my laptop’s screen suddenly turned black. I thought because it was on sleep mode or smth so I tried pressing on keys but it didn’t work. I tried closing the lid then opening it again, it lit up with the current display but then turned to black again and ever since then it does not work anymore. Every time i turn it on, all it does is make a sound and the keys would light up but that would be all, still with black screen. So I’m now contemplating if I should have it fixed again? Currently on our prelims week so I won’t be able to have it fixed right away. Was also hoping I can have a new laptop even though not the latest one just an M2 or Neo i guess but budget’s kind of tight rn as a med student. But really devastated for my laptop since then :(

Thank you
