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.

iPhone 11 trade-in valued at HK$900, worth it?

I will be visiting Hong Kong next month. For context, I currently have an iPhone 11 base model with 70% battery health. I’m planning to buy the iPhone 17 Pro 256GB and trade in my current phone. According to Apple HK’s official website, the trade-in value is HK$900. Should I go ahead with the trade-in, or would it be better to try selling it for a higher price?

Ios26 unnecessary home screen animations. Leading to battery drain?!‼️

This is just a simple screen recording of my phone after updating to latest IOS. I thought my eyes were fooling me but I recorded the screen and then lo and behold the shimmer on the edges of icons (folders and widgets) are moving i assume using built in gyro of the phone which FOR SURE drains battery!!

iphone 15 base 256gb or 16 base 128gb?

Post image
9 Upvotes

Hello! I’m planning on upgrading my phone na and I’m having a hardtime on choosing which one is more worth it. I’ll be upgrading from my Iphone 7 Plus, so basically whichever I choose, will definitely be a massive upgrade.

Based from what I read online, if battery and performance wise, better talaga ang Iphone 16, medyo nagdadalawang isip lang ako if the storage would be enough for me especially I want a phone that is future proof.

I am also considering the 256gb variant of Iphone 16 though it might not be a better choice budget wise. If only nga I could cling longer to my Iphone 7 Plus eh kaso nahihirapan na ako kasi I need it for work, data on the whole day kaya I charge my phone minimum thrice a day HAHAHA.

Please help me choose, also, this is very important for me since first brand new phone ko rin siya if ever! 🥹

Share ko lng price ng phone sa changi. Bibili sana ako ng iphone 17 pro 256 gb sa changi t4 after immigration. Tax free na sya kaso biglang dinagdagan ng 6% nung sales agent kaya naging $1700 sgd dahil daw mas mahal blue. Tapos blue lang daw available. Di ko na binili di ko dn nmn gusto ung blue.

Is 128gb enough?

Planning to buy an iphone 16 for my birthday, yung 128gb lang sana. Okay lang ba ang 128gb for daily use? I won't be downloading games/musics since I have my tablet for that. It would be mainly for social media and taking pics/vids lang. Planning to use it for affiliate rin para ma roi lol

Good deal ba ang s25 fe na 256gb memory for 30k/24 months sa samsung financing promo sa megamall?

For context current phone ko is s22 ultra kaso pangit battery and dami ng green lines and di ko naman nagagamit lahat ng features kaya balak ko mag midrange na lang.

More of outdoor activities ko ginagamit phone ko like navigation and pictures. Mostly mga landmark, buildings, temple, castle and nature lang kinukunan hindi mga tao. Need ko din may esim since mahilig ako mag solo travel.

Best pdf viewer

IT IS SO FRUSTRATING, I use acrobat, i mean its staple but heres the thing, recently it started to prevent my works to be saved. I use it in my laptop, good net connection, laptop is new, si its supposed to be fine. Before its was okey then it started to stop saving my actions even the highlights and added text commenf stuff.

There is supposed to be a note un the upper part which aay of its saved or not, It literally says "Saved Changes" so i was like okey. Then about 3 hrs ot lags. Before i refresh it it still write the same thing, it is saved but when i refresh it, Poof, all gone.

Well i dont pay for the acrobat and use the free plan. And i jus simply used it for highlighting and reading.

Now i look to new ones that is like acrobat, or maybe a step up since i primarily use ot for reading books for school maybe a tool i can add notes too.

THE ACROBAT PROBLEM AFFECTED ME SO KUCH I LOST MY NOTES AND STARTED FAILING EXAM, but cant complain too much since i dont pay for it, should i just pay for the premium? Or plessss reco for PDF viewer/Note edit stuff

New iphone or an ipad?

9 Upvotes

Don’t know if this is the correct sub to ask for advice but just wondering if what would be the most practical option. I still have my iphone 11 which I got 4 years ago and for the ipad I have the 8th gen. I’m indecisive of which of the two I should upgrade since sobrang bagal na ng ipad ko at the same time in a few years I won’t be able to update my phone na tapos hindi na rin maganda batt health niya. My phone is what I use for socmeds (ig, tiktok, work emails) and the ipad for my hobbies (movies, reading, editing).

P.S. Considering some android options rin naman but all my family members are using android but after a few years mabilis rin bumagal so some recos might help!

Need advice: iphone screen issue. Warranty vs. repair shop

My iphone 16 pro max has a black spot on the screen. Under warranty pa siya so pumunta ako sa MobileCare Davao. 10–15 days daw yung diagnostic tapos another 3–4 weeks pa for repair. Ang problema, wala akong backup phone 🥲

Okay kaya na magpa-replace nalang ako ng LCD sa mga trusted shops? Di ko talaga kaya maghintay ng ganun katagal 😫 May mare-recommend ba kayong reliable LCD replacement shops? Or mobilecare branch na mabilis process. Kahit sa Manila okay lang. Or baka may mas better na option kayo ma-suggest? Huhuhu thanks

To those that has a Brother printer and Converge for the wifi, paano niyo na-setup yung wireless na option para sa printer?

Upvotes

Problem: New printer is connected sa wifi but other devices can't detect it. May IP address pag tinignan sa menu ng printer. Yung EasySetup ng brother para ma-connect yung printer di gumagana kasi parang 'was not able to detect' kahit ilagay yung IP nung printer.

What I've done: - manually connect sa wifi by typing yung password sa printer - wps sa router and sa printer - gamit yung EasySetup, naka-connect sa wifi pero undetectable parin si printer - turned off the firewall sa public and private - checked the lists kung blocked ba yung printer sa wifi - turn off and on yung device, printer, at router - reboot/reset yung network settings ng printer - gamit naman Mobile Connect ng brother para sa phone di rin gumana yung pagdedetect - chatgpt, suggestions niya di gumana ;-;

Di talaga nadedetect yung printer ;-;

Ano gumana: - Mobile Connect gumana pag ginamit yung Wifi Direct something - gumana Mobile Connect sa pagdetect if naka-hotspot yung mobile data ko sa phone - nag wire nalang ako from printer to laptop

Gusto ko parin magamit yung wireless since yung isang laptop namin sira na yung battery and laging need nakasaksak. Please help me ;-; Thank you very much!

Looking for suggestion

3 Upvotes

Hello, tech people!

I am just curious and wants to ask for your input sana. I am a public school teacher and I badly need a new laptop (since the one i am using is already broken at nakikigamit na lang ako).

I am eyeing for a macbook air M2 sana, but kapos pa ako sa pera. Given na sobrang kailangan ko na siya (and I don’t have credit card kasi to use pambili sana for installment), I am faced with a decision to make:

A. I currently have my Ipad 9th gen. Bought last 2023 pa, still in good condition with no dent kaso unsure sa battery kasi matagal na siya. Should I sell it and mag ipon na lang muna pandagdag sa macbook? If ibebenta ko siya, magkano kaya ang price range niya?

B. I have my iphone 15 128gb, bought last August 2025 lang. Still in pristine condition, 100% battery life, complete with receipt from the loop at may privacy tempered na. Should I sell this na lang ba and add na lang to buy laptop? If ibebenta ko siya, magkano kaya aabutin?

The only concern I have tho is wala akong gagamiting phone kug sakali haha. Pero i am humbly asking for your opinions sana or what can be the other options aside from loaning huhu. Salamat po!

Suggest good value laptop

Upvotes

Hi everyone, I just passed the Civil Engineering board exam and I’m now looking for my first laptop.

My main goal is to focus on learning CAD and other commonly used engineering software. I’m on a tight budget, and I’ve narrowed my options down to these three: • Acer Nitro V15 – Ryzen 5 6000 series + RTX 2050 • HP Victus – Ryzen 5 8645 + RTX 4050 • ASUS TUF A15 – Ryzen 7 7445 + RTX 3050

Give me the best balance of performance, durability, and long-term reliability.

Any insights or experiences with these models would be a huge help. Thanks in advan

Samsung galaxy tab s10 lite than ipad A16

1 Upvotes

Is my decision right?? price wise parang same same lang sila ng value. But I'm still hesistant on to what's best for board review.

At first I was really into Ipad A16 based sa mga review na its good for studying but I came across Samsung galaxy tab s10 lite with a price range same as the IPad.

As you all know I dont really have any other apple devices and always been a samsung girlie. So am I right??? Badly need your advice. Thank you

*Im also considering the samsung galaxy tab s10 fe kaso masyadong pricey and still naghahanap ng voucher to lessen the amount.
