We got down to -28° here yesterday (-46° wind chill). This type weather used to occur frequently but it hasn't occurred in years. The coldest I can personally remember is -54°, in '70 or '71; only 'snow' day I ever had, not because of snow but because the boiler at the school froze. Today (Sunday) it will be getting up to 40°.

"Regarding the older iPad, if you have or can get a computer, you should be able to do a full, clean install." I tried and they tried more than once; they 'assumed' that I had developed a hardware issue and the update had nothing to do with the iPad being bricked. That's also when they offered me the $276.00 option to get it diagnosed. As for the serial number, they gave me some dby ~Dan - Tips and Deals

I purchased it from the online Apple Store.by ~Dan - Tips and Deals
Purchased (supposedly) new right from Apple online store. My first thoughts were exactly as you are suggesting. Nobody from Apple could (or would) guarantee that this was new, but said it SHOULD have been new. Interestingly the manufacturing date of this was October 29th, 2022 which was odd, thinking that it had just sat collecting dust somewhere, even through the Black Friday and Christmasby ~Dan - Tips and Deals
I never believed that I would want, or need, an iPad but my grandchildren loved theirs, so few years ago I ordered an iPad Mini 4 for myself. It came in real handy for road trips and hospital stays and I did get used to reading my E-Books from our local library on it. A couple years later I got interested in getting something with a bigger screen so I purchased an 8th Generation iPad, whichby ~Dan - Tips and Deals
Hi all, I ordered an Apple Watch 7 last week, directly from Apple's website (nearest Apple Store is 150 miles away). The next day I got a shipping notice from Apple and the very next E-Mail was an alert from Amazon that they were selling the same exact watch for $50.00 less than what Apple charged me. When you hit the order link on the Amazon site it opened a new tab at Apple.com where iby ~Dan - Tips and Deals

Quoteka jowct Quotehal One thing to consider in buying from ebay is the seller's ability to properly ship a MP. It's very hard to do it properly without the original box. SOme take the effort to ensure that it will arrive save, some won't. I recently bought a mac mini on ebay and it shipped in a padded envelope! Once bought an MP that arrive in a box 2" larger than the MP in every directiby ~Dan - Tips and Deals
Quotemattkime biking home. by someone getting out of a cab (and into a bike lane). i'm relatively okay although the bruise on my right bicep will likely be impressive. i got the passenger's info that doored me - any reason why the cabbie would be responsible?

Quotepqrst Mac towers especially from the blue G3 on were always easy to work on (can't speak for the new Mac Pro). On the other hand, the laptops have been getting harder and harder. Apparently you never changed out a hard drive in a G3 or G4 iBook.by ~Dan - Tips and Deals
QuoteDone For years I was fine on around 6 hours but in the last year I have notice if I don't get 7 1/2 to 8 hour my body just doesn't feel good. I don't know if it's a age thing or just because I'm getting a little more sleep now and the 6 hours just won't cut it. But I can't sleep over 8, I think it's I'm just so used to getting up early. My daughter can sleep for 12 hours, I wish I could dby ~Dan - Tips and Deals

Quotedeckeda Important forecasts that don't upgrade the warning to your relevant area until the middle of the night make it far less likely they will be heeded, for practical, not boneheaded reasons. It'll be healthier if everyone unclenches. I originally responded to a post about ATLANTA, so that was the area I was referring to. Which makes what you stated above irrelevant, since the stormby ~Dan - Tips and Deals
Quotedeckeda Quote~Dan My area deals with much worse cold and snow every year ... Which essentially makes the rest of what you typed irrelevant, or at the very least, taken for granted. You pick.

Quotedecocritter Nathan just got shot down by news reporters about saying the weather reports said Atlanta was going to get a "dusting of snow".

I received a 32" Vizio Smart TV for Father's Day that has been wonderful … the picture is very good, but the big surprise has been the excellent sound from the built-in speakers.
