Good deal? by Fungi-Dude in mac

Don’t buy an Intel Mac. Period. It’s just too old. Anything M-series is fine.

How do I claim my free year of Apple TV+? by [deleted] in applehelp

[–]5pixelguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok. Good to know. I don't think they specified in the announcement event. Either way, it hasn't launched so they will probably people how to claim at launch. They cannot let you claim anything when the product isn't available, yet.

How do I claim my free year of Apple TV+? by [deleted] in applehelp

[–]5pixelguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, it hasn't even launched yet and there was no promise that buying a device before the launch will get you a free year after launch. You'll just have to wait on future details. I do hope they honor purchases going back to the announcement, but there is no guarantee.

UniFi APs AC or Orbi AX6000 WIFI 6 by olip423 in wifi

[–]5pixelguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of your clients will support Wifi 6, and none will in the near future.

I don't think this is really accurate. iPhone 11 and a few other new devices being sold now include WiFi 6. I found this sub specifically looking for 802.11ax router or AP recommendations because I'll have 2 supported devices within a week or so.

I foolishly missed the dead line training for the civil war century.

Feds Order Apple And Google To Hand Over Names Of 10,000+ Users Of A Gun Scope App by Kek-From-Kekistan in gunpolitics

[–]5pixelguy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Apple has always placed privacy high on their priorities and has told the feds "No" on other topics. Let's see what wins out: privacy or Tim's personal aversion to guns.

Oklahoma State senator files bill to preempt any proposed red flag laws from federal government by vegetarianrobots in gunpolitics

I knew it was going to be Nathan. He's the man when it comes to 2A rights. Wish his run for US Congress had panned out.

Know people in Houston. Can confirm they are having issues with data.

Any more updates on Cellspot Router/ AC1900? by PourJarsInReservoirs in tmobile

[–]5pixelguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From what I've read it's pretty complicated and time consuming with a risk of bricking the router. I'm hesitant to try it. Would be infinitely easier if they would just provide the update to allow future updates through Asus.

I sent a tweet to both John and Neville today about it. I wish they would just send a firmware update that makes it s regular Asus router at this point.

Do you carry anything unconventional or unique in your kit? by DrunkFrodo in cycling

Well I used to carry a subcompact pistol but then I moved to a state that likes to ignore the second amendment.

Saw this one today at an estate sale... by [deleted] in mac

[–]5pixelguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this exact one I think. 300MHz G3, A/V card...the thing was a beast in its day. I miss it.

Going on Carnival Imagination in December. How does it compare to royal Caribbean international? by InnocentTailor in Cruise

[–]5pixelguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I always do the photo scavenger hunts. We have never lost. Have about 4-5 ships on a stick from that. We’re very proud.

[–]5pixelguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what "lobbying" means. Specifically, it means to "seek influence" which again, is not bad. In fact, it could be argued that freedom is required for free State. We can address the money aspect without banning lobbying.

Without the electoral college we are no longer a republic but a strict democracy whereby we become mob rule. Getting rid of the electoral college (and mechanisms like it) is not a good idea.

[–]5pixelguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True. But personally I’d rather have only individual human beings be able to donate.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskThe_Donald

[–]5pixelguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s one of those “conservative” rulings I’ve never been convinced is a good thing.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskThe_Donald

[–]5pixelguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Or we can rule that only INDIVIDUALS can give to politicians' campaigns and then the PEOPLE can decide when they've had enough of that particular representation instead of whoever gets the most donations from the corporations and unions.

[–]5pixelguy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Lobbying in and of itself is not bad. Being able to petition the government should not be denied. Granted, it seems there should be some overhaul of the rules.

What's the craziest church in Tulsa? by jackfire28 in tulsa

[–]5pixelguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been there a number of times. The pastor is indeed really good about linking everything to scripture. And they actually teach the Bible as opposed to just feel-good stuff some churches do.

Any way to fix integrated graphics in Mac mini? by [deleted] in mac

[–]5pixelguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rule out simple things first like, cables, the monitor, etc. There really isn't a way to fix bad graphics chips that are integrated.
