IPTV recs? - 1 year ago

Before I get totally caught going down the rabbit hole of all the companies out there, does anyone have a service they like? Been looking at the ones that charge around $80 a year, Thanks!

I use Connexus Credit Union for the higher CD rates, but they also have good checking. You just need to have a savings account with $5 to stay a member. Otherwise I have NO other connections to it.

Re: Yet another OLED question . . . - 1 year ago

Quotesekker I’m not worried about any phone sold in the last three years. Samsung and LG have OLEDs down. I would check the screen of any used phone if buy regardless. Of course, checking the screen. But what is the average shelf life of that type of screen? What's the oldest screen of that type ok to buy, say having been used 6 hours a day average?

Yet another OLED question . . . - 1 year ago

In my learning about all the good/bad with OLED screens on phones, it was mentioned that they dim with use and time. How does that affect buying/selling a used OLED phone? Anything one should be aware of? Thanks for the continuing education!

Re: OLED phone screens . . . - 1 year ago

QuoteRolando If it is a concern for you, the iPhone11 is a great phone, still with the best battery life! Unfortunately the size of that phone is too big which is why the mini is so attractive. Enough that I might allow myself to buy new, or wait for an Apple refurb. Going to Best Buy later to check how my eyes are with any flicker by over dimming a demo. I guess my biggest concern is if it

OLED phone screens . . . - 1 year ago

So, there we were checking out at the Apple store whether we wanted to go with the 12 or 12 mini (from an iPhone 7). Were heading towards a mini, decided to do some more comparisons. Found some good reviews and one that mentioned the inherent screen flicker that happens with OLED, something I knew nothing about. We are sensitive to these kinds of things and it could be a deal breaker. I have n

Pfizer #2 next week. The Other is fully cooked with Moderna. Just booked an appt for the super in my building. Took a bit. For those having issues booking, there have been FaceBook groups popping up for different states/areas/cities where people are helping others to book and posting tips and info.

Re: OS upgrade . . . should I? - 1 year ago

Quotesekker I like High Sierra as a nice MacOS. If it’s easy to test using an external boot drive, give it a try. Thanks. A better choice than Mojave if I want to not deal with 64 bit only right now?

QuoteSarcany Shot in the dark... Under Sierra, try this: Hold down Command+Option while clicking on the BT menu in the menu bar. This reveals the Debug menu. From the Debug menu, opt to reset the BT module. Thanks. Already did that a number of times with a number of other troubleshooting tricks - deleting the pairing, rebooting, deleting bluetooth prefs, etc. I hope the designers figur

Re: OS upgrade . . . should I? - 1 year ago

I have contacted them. Still waiting for a response beyond the troubleshooting they sent. It's a mouse developed via Indiegogo, so I know there's some risk involved. I'm pleased it does work on the other computer, so I'm willing to give them some time to get back to me. I tend to upgrade if enough things seem to demand it. Not quite there yet, so thought I'd see if there were other things I

OS upgrade . . . should I? - 1 year ago

Running 2 MacBook Pros, mid-2014, on Sierra 10.12.6 with no issues. All current bluetooth devices work well. Got a bluetooth mouse I would like to use. It pairs, but will not move the cursor. I have 2 of these mice and have tested each with the 2 MacBook Pros. Researched and performed all troubleshooting with bluetooth. Cursor will not respond, even though the device pairs.

Re: I know Dental Implants are expensive - 1 year ago

I had an excellent job done with an implant at Columbia Dental School, and WAY cheaper than just "on the street". It is a post-grad program. My "student" was from Japan, where he said they didn't have this training there. Of course everything was supervised by attending professors. At the time, a full implant post and crown there was going to be up to $2400. Just to remove

QuoteMarkintosh And if your not talking about meal kit services, but are talking about a delivered restaurant meal... Please consider not using app based delivery, instead working with the restaurant for delivery. While many restaurants are forced to enroll in app programs for delivery just to stay competitive, it's not a win for them. They have to give a significant percentage to the delivery
