I put 3" skate wheel casters on my Aeron a few months ago and really like them! I bought them through Home Depot but as others have said, there are a lot of choices out there.

Re: Pet hippos. Bad idea. - 2 years ago

I have a friend who was visiting a zoo in the Dominican Republic and decided it was a good idea to take a picture next to a baby hippo. The habitat was not fenced and the only thing that separated the visitors from the animals was a large ditch. He jumped across the ditch and stood fairly close to the baby hippo for the picture. What he didn't realize was how fast the mama hippo would run acro

Re: I like flat-sided iPhones - 2 years ago

Another fan of the 12 mini. Previous phone was the 11 Pro which my wife is now using. The form factor of the 12 mini is the winner in my book!

Re: Better Homes & Gardens Anniston Metal Frame Triple Bunk Bed $295 shipped - 2 years ago

We had a triple decker bunkbed as kids growing up. Me and my brother used the bottom and middle. The top bunk was used for sleepovers by friends and cousins. It came in handy! Though the person at the top had to be careful to not sit up too far or they would be showered with popcorn ceiling stuff.

Re: iCould backup question - 2 years ago

That should be ok to do. You won't able to do a full restore from 14.2, but you can sign into your iCloud account as part of the setup process and then turn on the contacts and calendar and it will download your data.

Re: Logitech C920s Questions - 2 years ago

It may be ACE by Rogue Amoeba. It stands for Audio Capture Engine. I don’t think it is a standalone install. It is usually installed by another software like an extension. Here is a link to info on it and it mentions Logitech’s Screen Recorder.

Re: Any tips for transferring content to a new iPad? - 2 years ago

Setting up a new iPad from an existing iPad is all or nothing deal. There isn't a way to pick and choose what comes over. The options would be to prune first on the old iPad and then do the setup and restore from the old iPad or set up the new iPad as brand new and selectively install as you go. I would recommend starting fresh and then add as needed. As long as your using iCloud to back up

Re: How much coax do you use in your home? - 3 years ago

I use the coax mainly to connect MoCA adapters to extend the network around the house. Each room has a direct run to the entry point, but only four are connected (one for the modem and the rest for the MoCA network).

Re: Walmart has Linksys Velop Mesh WiFi on Clearance - 3 years ago

I just installed a Unifi Dream Machine at our house. Setup was very easy and it is performing great. I have an additional Unifi AP AC Pro upstairs connected to it via POE. It was fairly easy to configure it with multiple SSIDs each running on separate VLANs following some online videos. It is replacing an EdgeRouter X and a 1st gen Unifi cloudkey, which have performed great but it is nice t

Re: Sync Safari bookmarks with Chrome (dynamically/automatically) - 3 years ago

I have been using Synkmark for a couple of years without any issues after Xmarks was discontinued. I recommend reading through the documentation thoroughly before installing. I have one of our Macs set up as the bridge Mac and it serves as the hub for all of our devices and it works great. It is listed as Alternative 1 on this help page: Good luck!

The Thunderbirds flew over all the hospitals in Las Vegas a few weeks ago for a similar tribute. It was great to see them from our backyard balcony. We weren't able to go to Aviation Nation last year, so this was a good consolation prize.
