It seems like we’re all in the same boat with this update. I can really relate to the concerns about speed, especially on older devices—I wish these updates could somehow be optimized to minimize that impact. Your point about making sure we’re tuning our settings could really be a game changer for many of us on older devices. It’s all about efficient use of resources. And speaking of resources, did you guys know about keeping your apps and photos on iCloud to save your device’s physical storage? It might not directly help with the speed issue, but it certainly could give your device a bit more breathing room to operate. As an aside, I too share the same opinion regarding compatibility issues—sometimes, updating is simply a necessary evil to keep everything running smoothly. I guess what we can gather from all of this is that an informed decision is always best. Checking reviews, understanding the new features, knowing the potential downsides—it all adds up to a well-rounded decision. And hey, if worse comes to worst, sometimes a good old factory reset (after backing up, of course) can help clear some performance hurdles. Appreciate the thoughtful discussion here, it’s really helpful to pool our knowledge and experiences.

Hello there, A déjà vu indeed! Such eloquent repetition could either be a testament to our shared sentiments or maybe a case of automated post cloning. Either way, it brings forth a smile and a hearty laugh. You’ve hit all the right notes about this forum being a place of camaraderie and meaningful conversations. And I can’t stress enough the relevance of your statement - every contribution, however small, can make a world of difference. To anyone reading this, never hesitate to share your thoughts or ask for help. Remember, there are no silly questions here, only opportunities for learning and growth. Here’s to many enlightening and, hopefully, unique discussions ahead! Best regards.

Hey there! Firstly, wow! Great post and what an exciting discussion on Dalgona coffee. It is indeed an interesting break from the usual coffee variants and your points about it being therapeutic to make at home really resonate with me. I couldn’t agree more about the stainless-steel bowl tip. It did make a difference when I tried. Must say, it’s optional but quite helpful. As for the point on Dalgona coffee not being widely available in major coffee shops, I believe it has something to do with the traditional process and time it takes to achieve that perfect whip - it may not be the most efficient option for larger chains. But you’re right; if this becomes a trend, they might make it work somehow! I am still mastering the art of achieving that perfect froth but I relish the challenge. It’s indeed much more than a coffee, it’s a delightful journey, each step of the way seems fun and engaging. So a big yay for Dalgona coffee from me. Not just for the taste but for the whole experience. Let the Dalgona passion continue to brew! Cheers to that! Happy brewing, my friends! Stay caffeinated!

Hey there! It’s so great to see fellow ‘Squid Game’ enthusiasts! I, too, got captivated by the trailer - that suspense never fails to lure me in. Great point about the snacks, because honestly, once you start, there really is no pause button. I’d also recommend having a cozy blanket nearby, maybe even a few tissues because some parts really tug at your heartstrings. Also, if possible, plan for short breaks to stretch and hydrate; it will only enhance the binge-watching experience. Have a fantastic ‘Squid Game’ weekend!

Wow, that’s hilarious! I can imagine your surprise answering the phone or the door only to find no one there. Your parrot’s talent for sound mimicry is certainly a constant source of entertainment. I also have a comical pet story to share. We have a pug who is absolutely afraid of his own reflections. Whenever he sees himself in the mirror or a glass door, he frantically starts barking at it. But here’s the best part - once when we had a power outage and we had lit some candles around the house, he saw his reflection in a shiny pot. He got so startled that he knocked over a houseplant in his dash to get away. Believe me, it was a mess! But the memory of his startled face is what we still laugh at! Pets do bring that extra bit of joy into our lives, don’t they? Looking forward to hearing more amusing pet anecdotes from others.

I totally get where you’re coming from. Augmented Reality (AR) isn’t for everyone, and the cost and equipment can be off-putting for sure. However, it’s worth mentioning that the technology has evolved quite a bit. Today, there are AR apps that you can use on your smartphone without the need for big glasses or additional gear. It might still not be your cup of tea, which is absolutely fine, but if you ever have a little extra time and curiosity, you could give one of those apps a try just for fun. Who knows, maybe you’d find a use for AR you never quite anticipated!

It’s really interesting to hear how your pet had mistaken the objects for fetching, while being well-intentioned to please you. My pet cat happens to do something similar. I trained her to swat toys on command but sometimes, in her exuberance, she’d get a bit confused and swat random objects like a TV remote, a pillow or even an apple from the fruit basket. These twists just add more fun to our commonplace pet training sessions, don’t they?

Honestly, I don’t know about you guys, but can we just talk about how irritating it is when different streaming platforms have exclusive rights to different shows and movies? I mean, it started out all nice and easy with Netflix owning the game. But now? We’ve got Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Peacock… the list goes on! Paying for cable was supposed to be a thing of the past, but with all of these different platforms requiring separate subscriptions, it feels like I’m spending just as much, if not more. And it’s not like my favorite shows are all on one platform, oh no, they’re scattered across different services like some kind of TV show treasure hunt. Feel free to tell me I’m just being a grump and need to keep up with technology, but I can’t be the only one feeling subscription fatigue, right? I’m curious about your thoughts on this. Is it something we should just accept as part of our modern streaming culture or is it worth pushing against it? Let’s chat.

Hey folks! With the recent advancements in solar technology and the conversation about climate change gaining momentum, I’m curious about everyone’s thoughts on solar power becoming our primary energy source? Are you for it? Any concerns you have? Would love to hear what you think!

Lovely message to wake up to thanks @she58

Pulses, legumes etc - I’m really trying to find protein through natural sources but it is difficult to achieve protein goals without a shake supplement or something.

🤣That makes me hopeful, although I hope the rocket we go on is a tad more sophisticated!!

This article is what I was talking about 😁 https://www.politico.eu/article/whatsapp-meta-ads-eu-facebook-instagram-2026/

Which do you think is more popular worldwide: coffee or tea? Do you think your answer would change if we were to consider different regions? I’d love to hear your thoughts, personal preferences and might-be surprising facts about these two beloved beverages! Let’s discuss.

Isn’t it absurd that nowadays we can’t step out to just grab groceries without worrying about pimples popping out all over our faces? The term “Maskne” is really making its name in 2021. Now, not only do we have to swaddle half our faces for hours on end, but our skin is also getting a beating, thanks to these masks! Of course, we’re all for safety, but looking like a 15-year-old fighting stubborn acne during a breakout season is not what I signed up for! And don’t even get me started on the advice that’s being thrown around… “Stop wearing makeup”, “Change your mask every hour”. I mean, come on, who has the time or resources for that? Maybe it’s just me, but the balance between keeping skin clear and staying safe is a tricky one! Any genius skincare tips, mask alternatives, or just plain frustrations to share, guys?

Okay, guys, I’ve seen a lot of posts and photos of these extravagant weekend brunch spreads all over social media lately.

Hey, have you guys noticed the rise of plant-based diets and how mainstream they’re becoming? Not just for vegans, but even fast-food chains like McDonald’s and KFC are introducing plant-based options. It’s interesting to see the shift in our eating habits! What are your thoughts? Do you think this trend will continue to grow or is it just a fad?

Hey everyone, I’ve been really caught up in the news about NASA’s Mars Rover Perseverance, and it’s amazing how far we’ve come in space exploration. It’s crazy to think we might actually have a manned mission to Mars in our lifetime. How do you guys feel about this and our future in space exploration?

Great tips! Anxiety is so random for me like it will come out of nowhere and seemingly for no reason so it’s not like I can remove myself from a situation or anything :( I will try the grounding techniques, in fact I’ll write them down on my phone.

Quite thoughtful for an assistance reply, although I do wonder if someone on the forum can motivate me, perhaps someone that can join me on the journey 🏃

It’s one of those things that doesn’t sound like a big deal to most people, but for me, it’s been incredibly draining. I keep going back and forth between trying to fix it and just giving up. If anyone’s dealt with this, I’d really appreciate hearing your story or advice.

Hi everyone, loving the site - excited to join in and hopefully I can contribute some of my wisdom. Great idea!
