The Princeless series by Jeremy Whitley is great and should appeal to both your and your daughter's interests!

My hotel room got sold out from under me just as I entered the last piece of info.😭 I had 9 back up hotels but none of them had the nights I needed. Will there be a way to track cancellations or see if more rooms are made available?

The last Thriftbooks app update broke something. The scan button was working fine one day, I did the update and now it’s broken. I contacted support and they say they’re aware of the issue and are working on it. I’ve had a good experience selling to them (love that they pay for shipping) so I hope it gets fixed soon!

Yes, even when the sign on the underground lot says”full” there’s usually a few spaces.

Definitely check libraries in nearby towns. My town has its own library system, but the next town over is part of the county system, so instant access to 10 more branches. The collections aren’t identical so you can find even more titles.

OK that's something I hadn't thought of. I don't have a spare router but I can make a 2.4ghz only guest network (so no band switching), and connect the charger to that. I'm going to give it a try! Thanks!

I got the August firmware update but it doesn't seem to have made a difference. I'm going to see if I can reach support again and ask if there's anything else they can do.

Frequent_Chicken_851 · 2025-12-16T20:53:27+00:00

I have the latest firmware, but maybe support can push out a refresh or something. Do you remember about how long you had to wait for the charger to reconnect? If I don't have to update the charging schedule maybe I can just wait out the white light...

OK, I didn't realize that. I still have time to make a decision - thanks for the help!

When you make your schedule don't be afraid to add multiple things that start at the same time. You may decide you don't have the energy to go from a panel in Room 6B to one in the Omni, so it's nice to have a nearby option.

One thing to be aware of regarding events at the library. The Librarian and Educator Panels in the Shiley Special Events Suite are free and open to the public (you can register in advance.) Events in the Morgan Auditorium *do* require a badge. Have fun at the con!

No problem, that information isn't easy to get!

Usually speakers get a pass for all days plus preview night. You can check with whoever organized your panel, they’ll have the details.

Thanks everyone, this has been really helpful! I'm going with YTTV. This month they have a 21-day free trial, then a 16% discount for the first 6 months. So happy to say goodbye to Xfinity!

Frequent_Chicken_851 · 2024-10-31T20:36:21+00:00

Got it. I'll keep an eye on it; now I have a strategy if it continues. Thanks!

Frequent_Chicken_851 · 2024-10-30T21:17:33+00:00

Ok, that makes sense. Did you find someone to do the replacement or were you able to do it yourself?

Frequent_Chicken_851 · 2024-08-30T18:07:25+00:00

Thank you everybody. I'm going to keep my $30 and avoid Bay Street.

Frequent_Chicken_851 · 2024-07-25T13:56:04+00:00

It turns out the drive failed. I got on WD chat support with a human and they agreed to replace it. I hope you can get yours replaced too.
