    iOS 16.1 new “feature” extends the insanity…

    Major OS upgrades are a fine balance of feature set improvements and performance while considering previous hardware. I don't believe it is intentional to make battery life less it just an engineering compromise. Once a blue moon operating systems like Window10 comes along and make machines...

    Can't get rid of the Dropbox folder icon

    I had to get a MacBook Pro for work kicking and screaming and was a fish out of water. It just works and a bonus can use shell terminal like I am back in 1989 at first job on DEC VT220!

    Are you OLD.

    100% even had American Chop Suey at school lunch pictured. My mum had an unfortunate phase with those wine coolers (finished a 4 pack a night for bit).

    iOS 16.1 new “feature” extends the insanity…

    Lots of posts about making your "battery last longer" when on an iPhone Apple Store only charges a mere $49-$69 to get a battery replacement. My iPhone 11 sits at 84% capacity over 3 years and the plan is by end of year hand to daughter or trade in for iPhone 14. I will only state I don't think...

    2023 VW Jetta Sport

    Nice car. The blind spot mirrors is a really odd delete as it is such a standard item now even on basic models. I do like that feature in our 2018 Tiguan SE.

    How can I rent out my mother-in-law suite?

    AirBnb is a ton of work for owner side compared to monthly rents. If you have the time and patience to let variety of folks into your home it works.

    How can I rent out my mother-in-law suite?

    In my area you would get $2000/month and professional in that unit. My advice is charge more than less unless you do a refugee or something for good will. The more you (over)charge typically you filter undesirable tenants. Look closer at line of work etc and pull credit report to figure out...

    EVs and our future

    You missed the part of industrialists backing the lobbying efforts to build roads at local, state, and federal level. Remember roads did not exist :)! They were miserable, bumpy and sometimes not passable horse and wagon trails when automobiles starting taking off. Massive amounts of money...

    EVs and our future

    Floods rarely happen however we can learn from the edge case as first responders, auto makers and consumers leaving them floods way. Lots of grasping about a gradual change as we move onto non-ICE.

    Need some help with information on 2013 acura mdx window regulator

    Before you chuck parts at it and believe dealer did their full job, did you try the reset procedures yourself? No loss except some time. They are not hard. This might not be the best steps however I did similar own my similar generation 2007 MDX and it fixed the windows...

    Are there any drawbacks living next to a farm?

    The obvious one is stench if/when they deposit cow manure. I can smell it from over a mile away when wind shifts right. I can only imagine it penetrating my house next door if that is normal for a farm to do. Looks like next to fields which is nice

    Careful when in a Hotel

    My findings are less expensive lodging like the type you would use for travel sports team you get less desirable people staying there. Sometime including the travel sports teams with younger kids who have poor parents modulating them. The few times I have run across offenders I was stuck at...
