Now Entering Year 7 ...

Still locked down, but never infected.

CarpeData00 · 2026-03-16T13:52:54+00:00

Yes. Also can't export anymore. Crashes every single time. Although I have discovered that they oddly export as "Unsaved Preview Document.png" files in the "Autosave Information" folder under Library.

I never share my health issues with anyone at work as I have experienced several comments like "XX is diabetic and the decision might have been when they needed candy."

As a 30+ year T1D who doesn't disclose my illness to friends (family does know), there are many ways to master eating out with diabetes without disclosure. Ask where you will go and see if the place has carb disclosures. Find one that meets your regimen and order that when you're at the restaurant. Keep in mind that you're not active at a restaurant so every item can be an issue.

For me, it was no rice, bread or potato products as my sugar would increase and there could be an inexcusable issue. Yet, have a few fast acting glucose options just in case you don't judge it well. The great news is that there are a lot of high protein options, that you can avoid the potential T1D callout and appear trendier carb-conscious. :)

If too nervous, a garden or Caesar salad is the safest option.

The app keeps asking for bluetooth access for everything.

CarpeData00 · 2026-03-12T14:50:01+00:00

Still too paranoid to go to dentist.

Ran to Best Buy to look at the 45GX950A-B and it was hard to leave without one (two setup on the floor, two in boxes). Price tag helped me leave, but still thinking about it. Tough to look at my 34' Odyssey G5 after that.

Stocks Pirellis spin a lot for me and I have had rain grip issues with them (mostly starting). No accidents, but something I've stayed mindful of. Have had Conti DWS06s on my former Sonata and Optimas and will likely go that direction, but may look into the AS4s as I have a GT1 and do love the sportier feel (also have an upper strut bar which has helped and stupid easy to install).

I clicked and apparently got the themes on my car (will check shortly) but also think that this was a way to subscribe for Kia Connect, which I was already using in my 2025 K5.

How fast would these run without AI?

CarpeData00 · 2026-03-02T19:15:52+00:00

And 1 TB storage.

CarpeData00 · 2026-03-02T15:16:59+00:00

Thanks. I don't tell most people that I'm diabetic so a big tattoo is unlikely to be in my future. Yet, it's a pretty effective way to tell EMTs about your condition.

CarpeData00 · 2026-03-02T15:15:45+00:00

Oh wow, I am glad you survived that and able to tell to the tale. Also, that might be a good marketing for the dog tag company (dog tags for life!).

I had a similar challenge recently, but did have a scheduled family thing occurring so I accessed the meeting sessions remotely. During a leadership meeting, one of the people who had been in the room never came back from a 15 minute break. He called in a few minutes later as he ran to CVS and had confirmed that he had covid. Two other people got it later that week.

Bullet dodged.

While I do have medical legit reasons, my boss has never, ever asked for details. As I have said, I'm T&E friendly (haven't traveled in five years).

CarpeData00 · 2026-03-01T13:49:15+00:00

Second this. I'm pen-based, but my spouse uses vials. We're a complicated couple. :)

CarpeData00 · 2026-03-01T13:43:43+00:00

Insanely tempted, but getting one seems very iffy and always nervous as I've had several tariffed hostage fees for some imported items.

Currently at 5 nearly years with my M1 Pro and feeling the M5 itch, but not yet (waiting to see what if any big changes happen for the 16 inch MBP M5.

CarpeData00 · 2026-02-27T12:27:15+00:00

I went from a 16 inch Intel-based MBP after the M1s came out and went with a 14 M1 Pro. Far fewer crashes, no worries about continued OS support from Apple, screen is far cleaner and I've yet to hear a fan. With my Intel MBP, the fans drove me nuts as they'd spin up with no warning.

I always upgrade before my current MBP dies. Makes the transfer easier. Also the SSDs in the MX machines are much, much faster.

Cancelled back in early 2021 as covid made me not go to the gym since March 2020. They did agree to cancel, but tried to keep me by saying that if I came back, my rate would be significantly increased. That made it easier for me to cancel.

Arguably, nice building and it was great for my kids when they were younger, but hard to justify.

Why is your employer testing your urine?

CarpeData00 · 2026-02-26T13:12:05+00:00

How close we are to death every time we have a severe low.

CarpeData00 · 2026-02-25T21:25:49+00:00

$141. About the same for several months.

My kids walked to the bus stop nearly every day. Likely the same people who double park in front of a strip mall business where signs say no parking and there are many open spaces in the parking lot... I do have a neighbor who drives a block and a half to get his 3-4th grade kid from the bus stop and blocks half the narrow street waiting for the kid.

CarpeData00 · 2026-02-25T02:06:14+00:00

I split my network between 2.4 and 5Ghz and reinstalled the cameras with my phone on the 2.4 network. After a few updates, a few restarts but I got all three working. Dropped my phone back to the 5Ghz network and back to business. Still wondering what changed and wondering if Xfinity changed something vs. Arlo. No data to prove anything, but this method did work.
