Re: Huh, never seen a CC do this... Apple Card - 2 days ago

I get harassing calls from Citi whenever I miss a payment one day later. They COULD send a preemptive reminder but they would miss out on late fee and interest. I hate credit card companies. JPK

That seems really expensive? I was not aware of this and I consider myself pretty Apple savvy. JPK

Apple Thunderbolt Display to newer USB-C mac - 15 days ago

I am totally confused? I have read a couple articles and neither were very clear about what to do? Is there a way to get an old Apple A1407 to work with MBA M1? I see lots of adapters that might physically do it - but I don't think they will actually do it? Any ideas or just cut bait and buy a newer, better cheap monitor. Thanks, JPK

Sports/news ticker app similar to TydByt?? - 20 days ago

The App Store is basically unusable to find apps. I would love to repurpose an old iPad. Anybody know of such an app? JPK

Re: YMMV: Apple 14" MacBook Pro (M3 Pro, Space Black) $1799 ($200 off) - 20 days ago

I missed the deal. Looks like I might just spray down my M1 MBA with pick up truck bed liner instead. Black would be cool! JPK

Maybe a better question for a MB forum than the MR forum? JPK

I have dumped Apple TV+, Disney and am considering dumping Netflix. They are raising prices just because. Tired of the nonsense. JPK

Re: without so much as a by-your-leave?!....watch out: T-Mobile is automatically upgrading people to more expensive plans.... - 7 weeks ago

I have a "simple choice family plan" that gives me 4 basically unlimited lines for our family for about $130. If I am forced to upgrade to "more features" it will force me to investigate switching providers. Nice job TMobile - you will force millions, who don't think about changing, to think about changing. So dumb. JPK

Re: Upgraded to Sonoma. Went really well except for Moneydance! - 8 weeks ago

Update: Problem is related to icloud syncing. Turn of that feature and things run fine. I had this set up but could only think of a handful of times I checked on my iPhone, so I turned it off. Hopefully they can get a fix out soon. JPK

Re: Chevy SS drive by - 8 weeks ago

That Monte Carlo SS had much less HP than the GN. While the body may have been the same form factor, there are substantial differences. I think it had a 305 V8 with maybe 175 hp tops. JPK

Re: less Pep in your step?!….PepsiCo hiking prices by double digits…. - 8 weeks ago

It is shocking to see the real level of price increases. Daughter is home for fall break and she wanted McDonalds. I don't go to MCD, except for fancy coffee for my wife. I ordered a big mac meal and it was over $10. Get used to this - prices will never come back down. Shameful.

Version 2023.1 (5006). Ive been in touch with Infinite Kind and they said they are aware of it and pointed me to their 'crowd sourced' technical support to watch for an update. JPK

Upgraded to Sonoma. Went really well except for Moneydance! - 8 weeks ago

Moneydance is having a seizure over it. Spinning beachball and 1 second delay for every keystroke. VERY frustrating. Hopefully they can get it figured out quick. This is my third bank management choice and I am not up for another migration of my 30 years of data. JPK
