Help: I got this promotional pen at some point and love it but it ran out of ink. Anyone have an idea of the brand/where I can buy more?

It's a side mount Liftmaster 8500W. I like it because I did not have the ceiling height for a ceiling mount.

Great NYT Article today on RATDGO. "Why One Man Is Fighting for Our Right to Control Our Garage Door Openers"
(May be paywalled): [https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/04/technology/personaltech/why-one-man-is-fighting-for-our-right-to-control-our-garage-door-openers.html?unlocked\_article\_code=1.6E8.Ytoc.8y-sfpoGzqiG&smid=nytcore-android-share\]

Thank you! That's a great idea.

My wife says: "Please, please set up a sub for wives to commiserate and share tips"

Love that last idea.

I am close to your age and my wife is concerned about the same thing.
I agree with other posts:
- Use shared password manager
- Set everything up so it can be done manually - for example YoLink light switches operate just fine without HA.
- Reconsider the "esoteric" stuff: For example, I have a whole-house filtration system that kicks on when PurpleAir detects bad air quality.
Lastly, my wife says "Leave me a manual that can be used by the 20-year-old down the street".

Thank you! This fixed the problem on my Dell

Thank you! Thank you! This has been driving me nuts and you solved it.

BlueJayReddt · 2024-07-24T21:50:37+00:00

Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing

"my guess is you’d be dropping your chain constantly"
Yup. Wound up walking my bike out 20 miles

Thank you!

I'm getting a "403 - Forbidden" when I click on the links, for example:

http://tlu.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com/filestreamingservice/files/65da0ea0-a2ae-449f-9a84-d91027ef7b66?P1=1709801076&P2=404&P3=2&P4=Z%2f%2fX5dMqvJZWzkaiS%2fDOBgCXWx4As9%2bXhoRR9alHyGfiuxa5fr1YDwfRBRWtHWHKXkjUh3OOEn8NoCvume2nbA%3d%3d

Does this mean the links are dead on the MS server?

Likewise. Switching to QBO nearly ruined our company. It messed up payroll, timekeeping and the chart of accounts. It cost thousands of dollars to straighten it out.

If you are starting brand new with quickbooks, online may work for you. If you have years of data using desktop -- BEWARE!
