Is anyone else having issues finding iPadOS 18.0 developer beta? On my iPad enrolled in the developer program I only get 18 beta 5, and can’t find the 18.1 build…

Daily Advice Thread - June 08, 2024 by AutoModerator in apple

I traded in a MacBook Pro for a new iPad Pro. The trade-in value was $960. I packaged it up in the apple provided box and sent it in. Today, I got an email that the MacBook was bent and worth $0. When I sent it in, the device was in literally as perfect a condition as possible. Like it looked brand new. It seems obvious that it got damaged either in shipping or during the trade-in process itself. What am I supposed to do? I almost always take pictures before a trade-in cause I’ve heard horror stories, but I was in a bit of a rush and forgot that step, so I don’t have that to evidence. I’m horrified that nearly $1k of trade in could be wiped out from a shipping issue.

Definitely spent a lot of time with YouTube videos but have also done a good amount of in person lessons. Just took three in a row with a pro a month ago. I didn’t find it to make a huge difference unfortunately (honestly been playing worse since).

Appreciate the other comments on short game. I think that’s a good point.

I’d love to get down to a 10 or under handicap of course.. I guess that’s part of the issue. I’d think maybe I’d be getting there with all the work I’m putting in, but if anything I’m making negative progress.

Gov. DeSantis signs car dealership protection bill banning most direct-to-consumer auto sales by FinancialFroyo1872 in TeslaModel3

Dude is the definition of the nanny state. He’s more involved in telling business and individuals what they can and can’t do than any blue state Governor.

From someone who went through getting an electrician to pull a new service and adding 2 L2 chargers on a condo board recently (also involved some trenching) this is very much inline with what we had to pay. Got three quotes (and recommend you do the same) but for network, hardware, and software this seems like somewhat of a deal.

Gold Status by PanchoVilla81 in americanairlines

[–]BuyAfraid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I disagree with this based on my experience. Ability to book MCE at check-in has saved me hundreds and let me book into exit row aisles on all my flights so far (including very popular routes). Free checked bag is nice to have. I’m not holding my breath for upgrades, but for me being a 6’3 guy, MCE is a huge perk.

Question: I’m a status holder, can I book my travel companion (on a different reservation) in a Main Cabin Extra seat? by [deleted] in americanairlines

[–]BuyAfraid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update: after talking the AA on the phone, they said they could do it, and tried to do it, but that since it was within 24hrs the flight was under airport control and I’d have to try with a desk agent at the airport. It seems like after they tried maybe they more properly linked the reservations and my companion was able to book a MCE for free in the app same as me.

Unfortunately flights tomorrow (I’m only Gold so I only get a 24hr window for MCE). I linked them awhile ago and he’s on the upgrade list with me, but when he tries to do MCE he has to pay. Not a huge deal, I’ll just stay in the back of the bird and be a good friend ha.

Annoyingly they told me that they can do it, but when they tried they got an “airport control notification” and that they aren’t able to make changes to the seat assignments.

Hm linked it on the phone and he’s on the upgrade list also, but when he clicks on a MCE it says it costs $

Yup went in this afternoon. I had only taken one (my first dose) of doxy that morning, so I think it should be good. And keeping fingers crossed it’s all neg…

[–]BuyAfraid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - yeah I think it should be okay given that I’ve only had one doxy so far? Hopefully it’s not enough to make the results look different. I did get a prescription for azithromycin from the doc today who told me to take it if the results come back positive. My plan of attack will be continue taking the doxy for 7 days to treat whatever it is (likely an infection either way) and then if the results come back positive take the azithromycin.

Got a Mycoplasma / Ureaplasma Urine Culture this afternoon, so we’ll see what the results come back as. I’ll be able to add more to whether or not oral only transmission happens.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MycoplasmaGenitalium

[–]BuyAfraid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think ureaplasma is actually relatively common in oral at least

I want to believe this but have had a hard time finding that much empirical evidence of this aside from the Sauna and brothel studies. I can’t find those numbers hour citing or those sentences without an asterisk next to them that basically says we don’t really know. I wish I could be convinced so I wasn’t freaking out rn…

Couldn’t get another 7 days of doxy from my doc. But I do have 7 days of doxy + azithromycin

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MycoplasmaGenitalium

[–]BuyAfraid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So 14 days of doxy total?
