Re: For those of you who turn off Mail's Load Remote Content in iOS 14 and earlier... - Today
I certainly have mixed feelings about this. As a user I welcome it. As a self-employed musician with about 500 addresses on my Mailchimp email list this makes life more difficult. It is useful, and sobering, to be able to see that only 30% of users open the emails i send and my users all signed up to receive them of there own free will. And that’s actually a GOOD percentage!

Re: Federal arrest warrant issued for Brian Laundrie - Yesterday
I just want to take a moment to say Brava to Lemon Drop for speaking out in this thread as an abuse survivor. It is nothing to be ashamed of but still it takes great courage to bring it forward on a public forum. I honor you for that, Lemon, and thank you for trusting us enough to share that bit of yourself.

QuoteFritz don't think I need a pan. and I'm reluctant to even set one up. pretty safe at the dead end in the boonies. i bought one two weeks ago to monitor my new puppy in the back yard when he’s hanging outside. though for that purpose i don’t need it at night i do wish i’d bought two weeks later and gotten better night vision.by graylocks - Tips and Deals

Re: Wyze Explains Itself - 9 days ago
Quoteztirffritz I had some wyze cameras that were meant for the French market. Somehow they were sold through a 3rd party in the US and they wouldn't provide any support. Kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. They were identical to US models as best I could tell, just needed to flash the firmware somehow.

I know a lot of us here are Wyze product users and some are quite disgruntled and perplexed by the blitz of products and failed customer service.

Re: Hold the iPhone. FCC report lists the iPhone 12 as a “legacy” product. Implications? - 14 days ago
i take it to mean that as soon as Apple announces IP13, IP12 will be removed from the line up. That's what they did last year with the IP11. last year my friends wanted new phones but waited to see what the IP12 offered. When they saw they didn't need a 12 they went to Apple Store online and were dismayed that the 11 was no longer offered. Long story short, they were at their lake house and noby graylocks - Tips and Deals
