Re: USPS discovers 'Black Hole' in California - 2 years ago

It's everywhere. USPS Priority Mail sent from Woodstock, IL Monday 12/6 to Miami arrived yesterday 12/16. Another package sent 12/6 to Austin is still not delivered. It's been sitting in Austin since Monday this week. Priority? Not so much it seems. And of course they don't guarantee delivery. Just says on the label 2-3 day service. USPS SUCKS.

Re: Oh Cook! - 2 years ago

Once you watch that one, you'll want to see the 2nd one. The 3rd was a bit more dry but still a story that needed telling. He was also on the show Who Do You Think You Are (the UK version, of course) in one of the first seasons / episodes. It was also worth seeing. He's bombastic for sure. He also is a superb writer.

Re: Oh Cook! - 2 years ago

James is excellent in all of his shows, and supposedly a new series of Man Labs are coming! I have seen every episode of Top Gear / The Grand Tour and all of the trio's individual works. James is the most diverse, Clarskson is good when he wants to be. If you've not seen Who Wants To Be A Millionaire with him hosting the last few series, he's great at that. And I like Richard Hammond on his o

Re: Chair Apparent ? Recommend a reasonably priced office chair ? - 2 years ago

3rd motion for Aeron. One at work, 21 years old now - thrown a couple of rubber wheel coverings off over the years, and a back support - but simple cheap fixes (and skateboard wheel upgrade) money well spent. Enough I have one at home too. Your back is not cheap. Spend a little extra on it.

Re: ‘ Deeper look at Apple’s recent server outage reveals potential Mac privacy concerns ‘ - 2 years ago

It's a bit more than being annoyed. The original article is really good. "This means that Apple knows when you’re at home. When you’re at work. What apps you open there, and how often. They know when you open Premiere over at a friend’s house on their Wi-Fi, and they know when you open Tor Browser in a hotel on a trip to another city." and "This data amounts to a

Re: Of all Star Trek TOS movies, I watch "The Voyage Home" the most - 2 years ago

And for the inside joke Zoidberg and I are referring to - La-La Land Star Trek The Motion Picture Soundtrack While it's not my favorite Star Trek movie, it's "THE" sound of Trek done by the master. (edit - holy crap, since it's out of print (only 10,000 pressed) it's selling for $118.99 on Amazon. Insane!)

Re: Am I missing something? Battery not charging with OWC TB dock. - 2 years ago

Talking to our head of PD, if it's showing 15W the upllink port is generally not being used QuoteGareth I would start with OWC Jamie's suggestions. Using the OWC included cable is a great way to narrow it down to the dock or the cable. I thought TB3 could only "officially" carry 100W on 0.8M cables or shorter, although there are a few cables advertising 100W on 2M cables now, so m

Re: Guitar picks... Are they all made equal? - 2 years ago

Hey that's awesome Cool you caught the album. When we saw them a few times ago in Ohio, we were on stage right next to Rick. His first album toss went WAY bad because they had a huge ceiling fan blowing down to cool the crowd off, that fan had to be 20' across. The album toss, it nosedived right into the crowd like 6' off stage and probably caused an injury (well, I hope not!) He yelled for

And you're plugged into the Thunderbolt 3 port with the computer icon next to it, right? What machine is this you're connecting to the dock, by the way? Quoteanonymouse1 Ok, I'm going to ask the obvious dumb question. You do have a power supply plugged into the dock, right?

Re: Am I missing something? Battery not charging with OWC TB dock. - 2 years ago

Hi - No, you can plug the Apple USB-C charger directly into the MacBook Pro while using the dock always if you need to augment power. You should be plugging the MacBook Pro into the Thunderbolt 3 dock using the included cable, connecting to the Thunderbolt 3 connector on the back of the dock with the picture of the computer and the Thunderbolt icon above it. And then the best way to connec

Re: Guitar picks... Are they all made equal? - 2 years ago

No, not all are the same by any means. When sourcing picks for using at OWC / including in toolkits, I asked the expert - Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick. Rick throws more picks to the crowds (or did, before the pandemic) than any artist LOL he goes through thousands on a tour and is really *ha ha* picky about what ones he uses. He turned me on to and we had ours made there and have for years no

Re: I need to paint some rooms and I just can't decide on colors - 2 years ago

That's what pictures, furniture, and floor coverings are for ;) Quotedavester I beg to differ with all the "paint everything white (or grey)" recommendations. Those non-colors are for folks who just don't want to be bothered with interior design. White ceilings are good, and off white trim and the occasional wall can be good, but we live in a world of color and bringing some of that

Re: I need to paint some rooms and I just can't decide on colors - 2 years ago

Painted my entire house inside with "Behr790E-2 Gentle Rain" - a very nice neutral gray. I get nothing but compliments on it, our realtor took pictures and is recommending it to clients now since neutral gray is "in", and I even painted some of a new OWC building in it. Super easy to clean, not sterile like white, and is really comfortable on the eyes. 10/10 would pa
