It’s such a game changer!

I had the pleasure of working with 8” floppy drives with the Social Security Administration.

I hate that they renamed it on iOS but not Mac. Now my fingers can’t remember just one thing.

This work between certain states. For instance, you can drive into Oregon and shop with no sales tax then return to California or Washington with your goods.

Liquor is also much cheaper in some states than others—you can really stock up if you are already driving through a state.

My 86 year old father-in-law has had the roughest time with the new outlook. It keeps losing his settings. I kept him on the (old) outlook as long as possible.

I tried Thunderbird for him, but some parts of the UI don’t respect extremely large fonts. Sigh.

My current solution is just straight up web mail to his provider which has other problems, but I have sorta-kinda mitigated them by installing a separate browser that is set to open that website. This has some other small problems, but it will have to do for now.

I honestly wish Apple made a 20” iPad.

Hi! You seem knowledgeable about this stuff, so if you can answer a question. I have an older Jackery power station that has a single USB-C PD port. I need more when camping and I have been plugging a AC USB-C charger into one of the AC ports on the power station. From what you wrote that make me think that is not an efficient way due to the conversion from DC to AC to DC. Would I be better off using the DC “Car Charger” port or maybe a USB-C hub of some sort?
