I do think you should consult with a physical therapist. That said, I think machines are going to help you a lot.

With inured wrists you could do a lot with a cable machine and a wrist attachment. You could use a pec dec machine and your forearms to work your chest.

For legs you could try leg curls and leg extensions if you can lift far enough away from your ankle.

I don't regard AthleanX as a good source of information. He made a name for himself creating fake things to worry about and none of his programs help people reach a definable goal.

See the other comment chain, looks like you can still get the 30% off deal by signing up for Play Pass.

[–] sacbuntchris@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I'm not sure. Might be worth the $5 to find out if you're in the US

[–] sacbuntchris@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah, more than double what I got for my year old 7 pro.

I tell myself I do the upgrades for the camera improvements since I take a lot of pictures of my daughter.

For 6 to 7 the biggest reason was the awful modem and I had trouble with phone calls. I was dating at the time and it was awful to have women tell me they couldn't hear me over the phone. The phone also overheated a lot.

If I were you I'd go with the 7. The modem wasn't perfect but it was a lot better.

For 7 to 8 it was the improved wide angle camera.

For 8 to 9 it's the improved selfie camera, improved camera zoom performance, battery life, and because it was so cheap.

No. Knock on wood but I'm generally pretty careful with my phones and have had good experiences with support when they need a warranty replacement.

I actually signed up for Play Pass to get the automatic update to gold, which triggered the 30% off. Best $5 I ever spent haha

 

I've upgraded my Pixel XL every year from the 6 to the 9 (pro). Say what you will about that financial decision. Each year I've told myself I only did it because it was such a "great deal" either for the sale price on the pixel or the "boosted trade-in value" from the previous.

I thought it would be fun to look at the prices for each in the context of the others and see how they varied from year to year.

Each year I bought the XL model with the lowest storage space (except the 9 pro), and pro when it was offered. Only one of the years I received a promotional item and I'll note that. The total price is listed with tax.

Pixel 6 Pro 128gb

10/19/2021
Total: $969
Trade-in: $175 (of two year old Pixel 4XL)
Pixel Buds A: $99 (retail)
Net: $695

Pixel 7 Pro 128gb

11/7/2022
Total: $968
Trade-in: $500
Net: $468

Pixel 8 Pro 128gb

12/26/2023
Total $753
Trade-in: $315
Net: $438

Pixel 9 Pro 256gb

11/6/2024
Total: $904 (with "gold" play  points discount)
Trade-in: $699
Net: $205
Net (If I had bought the 128gb): ~$105

Originally I'd planned to keep my 8 pro another year, but looking at it this way it makes more sense why I couldn't help myself and go with the update again.

On another note, I find it annoying the way Google plays around with "boosted trade-in values." I get that they do a lot of sales to encourage purchases, but changing around the trade-in values to create a sense of urgency and price confusion -- especially on their own phones! -- seems distasteful to me. They should stick with what they think is the actual value of their phones, and admit whether they do or don't hold that value over time.

People aren't going to be able to diagnose you over the internet. Take some time away from lifts that use muscle in the area if you feel pain. After a week or two if things don't start feeling better see a doctor or a DPT.

Spiritfarer. Got to a point where I couldn't figure out how to progress and it's not super easy to Google how. How do you Google the exact state of a game that you're in and what you're supposed to do next?

 

I'm not great with Docker or networking, so when I picked up an n100 mini pc for self hosting I installed Ubuntu and Tipi to get started.

I used Tipi to install Immich and forwarded my ports, then setup cloudflare tunneling to expose it to the internet. Currently I'm migrating from Google Photos.

But since I'm new to this I'm worried about exposing Immich to the internet without really knowing what I'm doing. Any suggestions on ways to monitor my setup to make sure nothing goes wrong or gets hacked? Ideally any application suggestions would come from the Tipi app store but I'm willing to learn if there's no other option. Thanks!

 

I've been considering an e-bike or similar for quick trips from my house to coffee shops, bars, the beach, etc. It seems like a great option to not worry about parking and avoid traffic. But I can't figure out what I would do with such an expensive thing (compared to a regular bike) when I get there.

Do you lock them to bike rack, or whatever random thing you can find? What about scooters, can you even lock them? Is that secure enough?

I really enjoyed shared scooters since you don't have to worry about that issue at all, until the city council in my city regulated them out of business.

 

I also reached out to them on Twitter but they directed me to this form. I followed up with them on Twitter with what happened in this screenshot but they are now ignoring me.

 

I was getting a trade-in quote of $250 for my 128gb 7 Pro last week, now it's up to $315. Not quite at the $500 I got for my 6 Pro this time last year though.

 

We want to know!
