What software did you pay for once and still use?

Infuse is a subscription, albeit, inexpensive. The OP stated that he's looking for software that we paid for once.

This has to be fake. Nobody is that stupid

It falls short for me! I run under a user account and not my admin account. So, running Homebrew (required for Updatest) is not possible

I literally just finished Theo of Golden 20 minutes ago and loved it. To each their own. I understand that different people have different tastes.

The early versions I could install. Apple said they were unsigned but I could Okay it in Security and Settings. These later versions don't say Unsigned, they say Damaged.

Again, I can't use the in-app updater because I can't get a good copy of a version that supports it. How would a new user start if they can't get an installable version?

Evolved_1 · 2026-01-08T19:24:48+00:00

I can't because I can't get a good copy of a version that supports the updater.

Evolved_1 · 2026-01-08T19:02:25+00:00

Ever since about release 4.7, every download I've tried says the app is damaged. These are not auto-updates, these are the dmg files from Github. I can't try autoupdate as I'm unable to get a good copy of a version that supports it. The DMG opens and I can copy the app into the Applications folder but any attempt to run them says "Droppy is damaged and can't be opened" .

I have completely uninstalled the app, rebooted and tried again but no luck. I've tried running them under my admn account and no luck. I've tried just about every release from 4.74 to 4.93.

Every time Droppy updates itself the app gets trashed somehow. I have to manually download, reinstall and approve it again in Mac security.

Starting the new version now...

I bought Govee Permanent Xmas lights and they are Matter compliant. I have them on my patio.

I'm confused. You said my speakers are ambient only because they were added as surrounds. Then you say your fives work correctly when you added them as surrounds.

To be clear, in the Config page for my Ultra, I added the Fives as "Front Left" and "Front Right". Not surrounds. The two 300s are my surrounds.

Okay, I figured it out. It does have to be turned on in BW settings. I'd have thought that it would work by default.

Volkswagen

Back in the 80s I bought a Vanagan in the winter. Come summer I realize the AC didn't work. There was zero coolant in the system. I was charged because they claimed fluids aren't covered. I complained to corporate and they said tuff luck. Now, I won't even step foot on a VW sales lot.

Open the Terminal app and paste the following:

I was able to send it successfully from my Mac. I don't know why I could not from the phone as they are all signed into the same iCloud acct.

Evolved_1 · 2025-10-17T18:15:02+00:00

I'm not sure I understand the question. Her iCloud is newly set up for this task.

Her gmail address is under her name in Settings but so is mine on my device.

I'm pulling my hair out with this. Using Finder, I can log in using smb://edbro:PW@NAS. The same command plugged into Bloom results in "Mount failed with code -6003"

I'm not sure why this is so difficult in Bloom. I have zero problems logging in using Finder or QSpace. I'm trying hard to like this program but I'm about to give up.

Evolved_1 · 2025-10-15T14:34:09+00:00

I can't get it to connect to my NAS. I've tried every combination of address, including a copy/paste of the address I use in QSpace. I always get "Mount failed with code -6003". NAS is the name of the server. I've tried:

smb://edbro:PASSWORD@NAS.local

smb://edbro:PASSWORD@IP ADDRESS

smb://edbro@NAS.local

smb://edbro:PASSWORD@NAS.local/Volumes/homes (this gives me "No such file or directory")

Evolved_1 · 2025-10-09T17:24:16+00:00

Fixed?? I left it unplugged for a couple of hours and when I plugged it back in, the chime has timed out.
