Happy Birthday, Mikey!

Now if only they could train the old people around here to drive that well.

Went with the Linksys Velop TriBand System (Three Units). Wanted to go with the Unifi because H-C. I have drop in the Family Room so running one into the garage would be only a minor pain. However, running cable to the upstairs would be either a major pain (i.e. I do it) or not worth the expense (i.e. pay a pro to do it). The Velop got pretty good reviews plus I got a pretty good price on it. If I don't like it I will try the Unifi with only two drops and see how that works out.

I am currently using an AirPort Extreme but I know I am on limited time here. Our house is two stories at around 3500 Sq. Ft. with cinder block outside walls which limit signal strength in the garage and outside. Thinking that a mesh system should be the way to go so looking for opinions as well as any recommendations. I like the software interface on the AE and have really had no problems with the system but unfortunately Apple has parked the bus on this one.

Stay safe and sound Cali peeps!

Do have a bit of a battery drain problem on my iPhone 7+ but my IPad also seems just fine, maybe even better battery life. To be fair I seemed to start having battery life problems on the phone starting with my first upgrade to iOS 13, which was 13.1, doesn’t really seem any worse on 13.1.3.

But you can put in sour cream.

Running IOS 13.x, iPadOS 13.x and Catalina ( on one Mac) and so far, so good.

Happy Birthday, Marc!

I support this idea 1000%

Peter!

A Belated Happy Birthday, Vicki! And This!

Seconded,

Happy Birthday, Peter!

Happy Birthday, lain!

Happy Birthday, Carl!

Damn you have a good memory Steve. I do use Duet, which always works great for me. Sidecar is one of the Catalina features I am looking forward to. Hopefully Sidecar works as well as Duet. I hit a little hitch with the Mac mini. It seems I already have five computers authorized for iTunes so I have to deauthorize one of the two computers I have at work. A music server should probably have an iTunes authorization. First time I have come upon that limitation. Still don’t really understand that one.

Interestingly enough the new Mac mini had Mojave installed. I was expecting it to have Catalina. I will be updating it to Catalina as soon as I get it totally set-up in Mojave and get a complete back-up done. This is the perfect system for the first Catalina install since my current music server works just fine. So even if Catalina totally destroys it no big deal.

Sad! He was in my list of great actors. I definitely have to watch “El Camino” now, not that I wasn’t going to before this.

Cool! Hopefully you will not have any problem with the mysterious screen scratches.

Some might disagree with you. Not me, but some others might.

Happy Birthday, Steve!

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Nothing special yesterday, taught my classes, had dinner at Smashburger with Peter, took him to his SAT prep class then home for the evening. Still a bit worried about this present though

I bought mine from Jeff (VPI).

I bet it is pretty cool to listen while watching upside-down sharks swim by.
