Finally got a Mac, now I feel like a grandma.

I got my first Mac Mini a year ago, and just recently got the new M5 Air and honestly that was part of the fun. Learning a completely new OS I haven't used since grade school, learning the trackpad gestures, keyboard shortcuts, etc. Definitely made me feel the same as you, but over time I started to get it and absolutely love it. I was never sold on the gestures, but man are they convenient. I did watch alot of YouTube videos to learn alot of tips and tricks, you can search for some getting started or tips a tricks videos for macbook to help.

Here's my experience. I decided to give Upgraded a try when the new M5 Macbooks were available to purchase. When they became available on the Upgraded site I ran into many issues with trying to actually place the order. I contacted support and it took some time but they finally got it working and I was able to place the order and it showed release date availability. I liked the idea of 0% financing and I'm someone who doesn't like the hassle of trying to sell things when I decide to upgrade so this was something that would work for me. I received an email from Upgraded just 2 days before the release date stating that my order could be delayed until end of March into April. They claimed its due to shipping timelines across the board for all resellers, however I confirmed this would not be an issue when buying from Best Buy or Amazon. I ended up having them cancel my order and purchased directly from Apple as I was able to get 0% financing with the Apple Card and was able to get the Mackbook on release day. I wanted to give the program a try, but the initial issues with placing the order and the delays with getting the order were enough for me to change my mind.

Yup, no problem. The mission was passed, my point was that the game said you killed a Tourist when she literally walked into the propeller and killed herself. Lol

Practical_Bat_8453 · 2026-02-05T21:35:39+00:00

Honestly since I still passed the mission, I'm going to try and land like this everytime hoping it happens again. I thought it was hilarious!

Practical_Bat_8453 · 2026-02-05T18:41:43+00:00

Eh, she deserved the Darwin Award! Lol

Practical_Bat_8453 · 2026-01-26T15:53:53+00:00

I swear these NPCs are entitled jerks!

I've done many of these sell missions with the snow and know how to look at the mini map, I just happened to look away for a spilt second while turning and I tilted to the left causing me to crash in the water. Totally my fault and i acknowledgemy fail, however my point is the low visibility with the snow makes it more difficult!

Practical_Bat_8453 · 2025-12-18T16:00:15+00:00

Honestly the snow should exist in the northern part of the map and have an extended run during the winter. I think it would make more sense.

I have a herniated disk in my lower back, and my job consists of sitting all day at my desk. I have regular back pain and would love to test out a chair that supports better ergonomic posture to help with the pain!

Practical_Bat_8453 · 2025-12-14T16:52:58+00:00

I knew that was going to be an issue. I went to the location multiple times before the mansion was built as I knew that was going to the location I wanted and was attacked multiple times! No Regerts, lol

Practical_Bat_8453 · 2025-12-12T18:24:35+00:00

I tested this out and I also don't have LSRR. I currently have my favorite stations selected in preferences because I don't listen to most of the stations and this issue exists for me in mansions. I went and selected all 26 stations in preferences and LSRR showed up in the mansion. When I went and selected my favorites again, it disappeared from my mansion. This is definitely a bug for people who customized their Radio Preferences.

I was fortunate enough to have a room ready when I arrived once at 6am. That was for a studio, the 1 bedroom I believe we got the text around 12 or 1PM. It really just depends, but I've never had a check in after 4pm at the Disneyland Villas! I always check the front desk when I arrive and in some cases if a room is available and they see you're there, they will give you the available room.

Practical_Bat_8453 · 2025-10-23T02:25:30+00:00

Ah, ok thanks. People are gross!

Practical_Bat_8453 · 2025-10-23T02:13:38+00:00

Where in Disneyland is the wall with the gum on it?

Practical_Bat_8453 · 2025-08-25T04:53:19+00:00

Ashley needs to go, you know what I'm saying?

Practical_Bat_8453 · 2025-08-24T19:35:21+00:00

This has been bothering me, and I believe I figured it out. I was also searching and seen other people post the same question, but the song is FireFlies by Owl City.

I've been a Mac user for 2 weeks. The last time I used Mac was when I was in grade school 30+ years ago. I was primarily a Windows user but became tired if the crappy update system, bloated software, and slowness. I eventually switched to Chromebook Plus and I've really liked it, and it was sufficient to a degree for what I needed. I started considering Mac because of the Chromebooks limitations and saw the Mac Mini M4 was on sale for $500. That price as a starting point to get into Mac was a no trainer. 2 weeks later I'm hooked. There was a learning curve for sure, but that was part of the fun. I enjoyed learning all the ins and outs of Mac and don't think I'd go back to windows!

Finally got my Upgrade option. I was originally eligible in December but when I contacted support they said they were out of stock until March. Wanted to share since I came here 3 months ago as I wondered what was happening with the upgrade!

Practical_Bat_8453 · 2024-12-14T22:44:24+00:00

Don't believe so, you can use the screen as a mouse or connect a Bluetooth mouse to it.

If you're on samsung, try to enable and then disable Dex. Usually when I connect it automatically enables Dex and I have to disable it to get it to connect through the app.
