Nice interview with Graham Nash, Part 1 - 5 days ago

Nash is still so sharp and tells great stories about The Hollies, CSN, CSNY and even Mama Cass and The Mamas and the Papas "At 81 years-old, Graham Nash describes his life as, “a magic story from beginning to end.” Graham’s career began in 1962 as a singer/songwriter in the British pop band The Hollies. After a string of hits in the UK, Graham left the Hollies, and moved to L.A.

Michael J Fox 'Johnny B Goode' miming vs reality - 15 days ago

One of my favorite movie scenes of all time - Michael J. Fox ‘playing’ Johnny B. Goode in Back to the Future; so watch this clip first and then watch the next video where a YouTuber superimposed what would actually be playing based on Fox’s finger positions on the fret board - it’s hilarious

Why did the touchbar not take off? It's pretty cool - 4 weeks ago

Went to the Apple Store and was playing around with the touchbar on the 13" MacBook Pro Wondering why it never took off and why it got so much bad press, especially in the tech community? It's actually pretty cool - very customizable in Settings and actually seems like it would be pretty useful (The effect when you customize it by dragging an icon down to the bottom of the screen an

Re: Wall mounting iPad, can I run the USB cable behind the wall? - 5 weeks ago

Wall mounted the iPad and ran the USB behind the wall for the time being One reason I haven't gone for the USB over ethernet extender is that I'm not sure if it provides power (rather than data transfer which I don't need) Here's the monoprice listing: Same thing on Amazon for a few bucks more but faster shipping:

Thanks, but that doesn't answer the question of whether I can run the USB cable behind the wall Even with a USB outlet, the cable needs to still run down from the iPad to the outlet

Wall mounting iPad, can I run the USB cable behind the wall? - 5 weeks ago

I'm going to be wall mounting an iPad at eye level Directly below the location, at ground level, is an outlet There's already a cut-out in the wall over which the iPad will be mounted and then cut-out communicates directly with a cut-out at ground level through which a cord can be fished down through the iPad cut-out, out through the ground level cut-out and plugged into the adjacent outlet

Re: Best place for Tesla info and a couple questions - 6 weeks ago

It won't come with any charger, as mentioned above Tesla stopped including that sometime in 2022 It will come with: A Type C/F (220 – 240 V) adapter is included as standard equipment with all new Tesla cars. This provides approximately three to five kilometers of range per hour of charge depending on the car. Note this is an adapter only - there will be no cord or anything else include

Yes forgot to mention the Reddit Tesla MY subreddit There should be a specific subreddit for each model A car enthusiast friend of mine sold me his extra Gen 2 Wall Connector for $150 and also threw in a J connector in case I ended up buying a non-Tesla EV (I hadn't actually bought the car at that time) The wall connector Tesla is currently selling for $425 is Gen 3 My garage install

Re: Frustrating wifi issue, not sure what else to do to troubleshoot - 7 weeks ago

Yeah I realized after I replied that you were probably joking LOL I would think that if it's still an issue in safe mode that, yeah, something else could be going on But the fact that other user accounts work fine and even my personal user account was fine when I created it from scratch and before I started adding apps and software makes me think otherwise

Re: Frustrating wifi issue, not sure what else to do to troubleshoot - 7 weeks ago

Yeah I guess my only option is either rebuild my personal account on the work computer from scratch and then start adding apps one by one and try to see when the issue rears its ugly head or Migrate my personal account from a CCC backup onto the work computer and see if the problem is there (which 99% I think it will be) and then, maybe, start deleting apps one by one and try to see when th

Re: Frustrating wifi issue, not sure what else to do to troubleshoot - 7 weeks ago

So the MacBook Air has been returned and the work MacBook Pro has my user account deleted, so I can't really troubleshoot anymore until and unless I add my user account back and start slowly loading back my apps and programs Yeah, I've been dealing with this for quite a while and so have read up a bunch on it online I've read that maybe it's an M1 issue but my wife and kids have M1 Airs I
