It's frustratingly funny to be behind someone in a checkout line who is signing the card reader screen with great deliberate care. I've always used just a quick squiggle and I've never had one rejected.by MacJeepster - Tips and Deals
All these chemicals sound pretty good. First, warm it up with a heat gun or hair dryer, and they'll work better.by MacJeepster - Tips and Deals
I'm sure more people will be killed, but the point is the tech will learn, adapt and not make the same mistake again. Meanwhile, human-driven cars will also kill pedestrians.by MacJeepster - Tips and Deals

My 25- or 30-year-old roof lost 5-10 shingles over the course of a year or two, then there was a minor windstorm and 8-10 more came down. I called the roofing guy and he quoted a price of $8,000, which included stripping off both layers of shingles. He said he usually finds a few bad boards, but his price included replacing as many as he found. Then I called the insurance company who sent an adby MacJeepster - Tips and Deals
Wow! I seem to have hit on a problem shared by an amazing number of people. Lots of good info, especially the YouTube vid. I'm going to try again to disassemble the flashlight and if that fails, send it to Mag. This baby was expensive, so I won't give up on it. I haven't replied until now because the power was out for 12 hours (all our other flashlights got a workout) and then spent the nex 1by MacJeepster - Tips and Deals
Are you sure they won't repair it? That link you posted seems to indicate they will as long as they're name-brand batteries (they are Ray-O-Vac) and I pay the shipping to them. I may try the needle-nose gambit. I managed to get out the first battery; I hope it's the second battery that leaked.by MacJeepster - Tips and Deals
My wife is into flashlights. One of her favorites (and most expensive) is a big Mag-Lite with 4 or 5 D-cell batteries in it, the kind police carry that's rugged enough to double as a billy club. Problem with it was, I was always buying batteries for it. About 3 years ago, I thought I was being smart and replaced the bulb with an LED one so it would always be ready to use.

We bought a similar model on Black Friday. We had never owned any Bosch appliances. One reason we selected it is that Consumer Reports annual reader survey rated the brand highest in reliability. We never used the dish dryer/plastic melter feature on our old dishwasher, so the European drying method was OK with us. Other things that are different: -The latch does get some getting used to.

If it were me, I'd probably start using the new AppleTV, but keep the old one hooked up to play the older stuff. Sure it's an inelegant solution, but it costs nothing and requires zero work... Yes, I'm cheap and can be kinda lazy.by MacJeepster - Tips and Deals
I loved the ceremony, but not chatter from the NBC personalities explaining what we were watching. Katie Couric proved you don't need a Y chromosome to engage in "man-splainingn"by MacJeepster - Tips and Deals
A computer tech once told me a power supply is like a lightbulb and will eventually burn out. He also told me (this was 20 years ago) that most of the repairs he did were cause by electric surges. Since then I've always used a good UPS unit that "conditions" the electricity. Maybe modern computers and TVs aren't as susceptible, but I'm not taking chances. Plus the batteries, of coursby MacJeepster - Tips and Deals
I'm sorry. Yes, Garfunkle hat to make the list, but Simon Simon went on to make art without Art. He's done a lot that was successful both critically and financially. Think "Think Still Crazy After All These Years, "One-Trick Pony, and omg, "Graceland." There were at least 9 more albums that each has at least a few stellar tunes. But how's this one: The mature Bob Dylan &by MacJeepster - Tips and Deals

I have Amazon Prime. I recently started using Amazon Music for workouts at the gym. Over 2 million songs for "free," with no ads, which are plenty for me and a far better deal than unlimited, with tens of millions of songs for any price.by MacJeepster - Tips and Deals

Yeah, I read the Wikipedia entry; that's why I'm concerned. It sounds like the same kinda thing Apple refuses to do on the iPhone for the FBI. If so, it's probably just a matter of time before some bad guys exploit it and rob us all (if it hasn't already happened). If this is all true, this is one more huge reason to stop putting Intel inside Macs and move over to Apple's ARM processors.by MacJeepster - Tips and Deals

There was a problem with some of the 6S batteries. If you have one of the right serial numbers Apple will replace the battery for free. Check it here Mine didn't ever shut down and it held a charge pretty well, but with the new battery, it's definitely better.by MacJeepster - Tips and Deals

Inkjet printers deserve to die. I've never had one of any brand last more than a month. They suck time and destroy expensive ink and paper on their inevitable journey towards not working at all. Meanwhile, over the last 30 years, I've had just 3 monochrome laser printers and the first two were still working well when I retired them: 1. An Apple LaserWriter II that lasted 20 years (it wanted toby MacJeepster - Tips and Deals
