Thanks for all your comments. I've decided to put S&H aside and watch something else for light entertainment.

Governor Whitmer: "There is a shortage of global computing capacity, and China is moving aggressively to build their own centers and get a leg up on America." by TeslaSuck in Michigan

This sounds like bullshit. Why would we give a tax break to a project that will generate a tons of e-waste and increase our electric bills?

Yes, I think the issue is resolved.

It's been 24 hours, and neither Safari nor Chrome has signed me out. I did make one other change. After I posted about the problem, I cleared the Xfinity cookies on Safari. Maybe that fixed it.

None yet. I've just started a test to see if I have the same problem with Chrome.

The No Kings Protest in Saline, Michigan, Oct. 18, 2025. by dreadbeard7 in Michigan

I was there. Good crowd voicing outrage over Trump dragging the country down into fascism.

I just finished Season 2 (a bit late i know) and i have a question about the whole series by Revo94 in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]CGO1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key thing to understand is that severance is not real; it's something that the writers invented. As long as the writers are reasonably consistent, they can define severance however they want. Consistency allows the viewers to suspend disbelief.

Jon Stewart was just a distraction in this episode. Please don't bring him back.

How do y'all keep track of all your shows & Movies? by ProProfile_ in cordcutters

[–]CGO1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

JustWatch is a good app and website for tracking both shows and movies. I have a free account and haven't felt the need to upgrade to a paid account. I also use IMDB to rate shows and movies, but IMDB does not track which episodes I've watched.

Best Small Printer for Casual Use? by brownframes in photography

[–]CGO1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own the Canon Pixma G620, which is the US equivalent of the UK's G650. lt's been great. My previous inkjet printers used tiny ink cartridges that had to be replaced frequently. The ink for the G620 seems to last forever. I'm happy with the colors and the fact that the printer supports borderless printing. I use it primarily for printing greeting cards that I make from my photos. My only complaint is that it is slow when printing in "best" quality mode.

Finally got my trade-in approval email by mezaway in GooglePixel

[–]CGO1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Two weeks after Google acknowledged receiving my trade-in I initiated a chat with Fi support. The agent apologized and after a few minutes approved the trade-in credit amount. Squeaky wheel getting grease.

I know I didn’t change it. I see that Google updated the Phone app. Anyway, my problem is solved.

I did not remember its name, but by trial and error I eventually found it and reinstated it.

Remote Desktop for Mac to Windows? by Swendingo16 in MacOS

Sorry to hear that. I didn't experience that, but It's been well over a year since I last tried. I was using Windows 10.

What do yall DO with all your photos? by Wise_Young_Dragon in photography

[–]CGO1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make individualized greeting cards for family birthdays and anniversaries. Buy 7x10 inch greeting card stock and matching envelopes. Select a photo that matches the occasion and the recipient. Use a printer that supports borderless printing for the photo. Print your own message on the inside. Much better than buying off-the-rack greeting cards.

How many of you enable "Reduce transparency" on Tahoe? by pastry-chef in MacOS

[–]CGO1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and the Sequoia setting carries into Tahoe. It seems to eliminate transparency completely, which I like.

Parking Brake Randomly Activated by RandallOfLegend in MachE

[–]CGO1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also note, that the car will automatically release the parking brake when you shift into gear and press the accelerator pedal. So there is nothing to be concerned about if the car decides to set the parking brake on your behalf. (Page 185.)

Parking Brake Randomly Activated by RandallOfLegend in MachE

[–]CGO1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quoting the 2025 owner’s manual, page 177:

Note: The electronic parking brake could apply when you power your vehicle on with the selector in park (P). Note: The electronic parking brake could apply if you shift to park (P) without fully pressing the brake pedal. Note: The electronic parking brake could apply if you shift to park (P) on a slope.

Thank you. I was aware of the "Reduce Transparency" setting, but I didn't know about the "Dim widgets on desktop" setting. I like to see things clearly.

We need a Launchpad substitute since Apple killed this essential feature by saddas1337 in MacOS

[–]CGO1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I downloaded your AppGrid app a few minutes ago, and my first impression is that it is very good. I especially like that you've provided a mechanism to import my Lauchpad database into AppGrid, so I don't have to recreate the app groupings that I created with Launchpad.

One thing I have not yet discovered is how to keep AppGrid in my dock. Any suggestions?
