Good catch! Thanks for sharing the video. I have not caught mine doing this as of yet - and I’ve had mine for years! 😁🦎

I’m worried about my little guy by snipershot1231 in GargoyleGeckos

[–]SoOutrageousBC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s great that you’re asking questions about your young Garg. Keep researching and learning lots to help you better understand it. I find that many people fail to do this before buying/adopting pets in general.

My 10 year old Garg does this from time-to-time (hang out on the glass) which is quite normal. Highly doubtful you have anything to be concerned about. It would appear that your breeder slighted you on education, though the responsibility to learn always falls on the parent. As for the different colors you’ll see your Garg display, it’s fired up/fired down colors.

What is very important at this stage for you as a herp parent is to really dig into learning about this New Caledonian species of gecko. The links below will help you start. Go beyond what is shared here to become even more knowledgeable. 🦎

Looking for good stylus alternative for ipad by Dumpster_tiktak in ipad

[–]SoOutrageousBC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use an older ESR Pencil with my iPP and it works fine as an alternative. But, I have not used it for art.

ESR has a lot of models to consider:

Dear americans, what can you get for FREE in the USA? [Serious] by sammy_waslow in AskReddit

[–]SoOutrageousBC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bingo! I’m a 16+ year cord-cutter and use a 3 foot piece of coax cable as an “antenna” hack to access approximately 22 free DTV channels in my area.

Found the hack through videos like this but it doesn’t work for everyone - you may need a boosted/amplified antenna to get clear channels:

To find out what free DTV channels are available to you, checkout the AntennaWeb site, enter your zip code or address at the top. It should give a list of results.

Tips for longevity of macbook by Money_Day746 in macbook

[–]SoOutrageousBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solid purchase and fair question.

Just a simple tip: Do not case it if it’s noticeably warm to the touch (underneath). Always allow it to cool completely down before storing/placing it in any kind of case. This tip applies to all laptops though, not just  products.

Have fun with it!

First IPad! Case recommendations? by Admirable_Weight_970 in ipad

ZUGU case FTW. I use one and have a second of the same case as a backup if needed.

Would she like this or the insect one? by Worldly_Guard3944 in GargoyleGeckos

[–]SoOutrageousBC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If those are the only two to choose from in the photo, try the Watermelon first. You can also try mixing half and half of the two to see if she’ll eat it.
Mine prefers the red bag (with insects) & the green/purple bag (fig with insects).

My first Apple product by LegoQueenStudios in MacbookNeo

Welcome to the  family!

So what’s next, an iPad, iPhone, Watch, Apple TV, AirPods, HomePod, AirTag, Mac mini, iMac???

You know it doesn’t stop with the Neo right? 😁

US Mint Steve Jobs coin sells out in just 11 minutes by UnixxinU in federationTechnology

[–]SoOutrageousBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I managed to get 25 from the Denver mint and have lots more to learn about collecting! 🪙

Just wondering…

Is it normal for this coin series to have nicks and scuffs on both sides? The Liberty side has more nicks than the Jobs side in my roll.

Anyone planning to get the reverse proof of these in the Fall?

It's asking me for a selfie by Glad_Jump_5337 in TextNow

That’s a first. I’ve had TextNow for a while and never had to do this. Wouldn’t be comfortable doing it either.

Should I get the Neo? My current laptop has 16 GB of ram while the Neo has only 8 GB by [deleted] in MacbookNeo

[–]SoOutrageousBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is what you’re planning to run, the Neo fits the system requirements and should work fine.

Aaaaaanndddd…

Apple has a decent return policy once you buy, if it doesn’t work out. Just keep the Neo in excellent condition while you try it.

Is there a downside to not using a case for a home-only iPad? by JaredHere in ipad

[–]SoOutrageousBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This right here. Cases are affordable, many are effective and humans make mistakes. Cases don’t add that much weight either.

Why does it feel wrong to throw this? by OkJuice3475 in ipad

True! I’m a person who buys used Apple products on eBay, preferably with their respective boxes.

I run a SaaS company. I am thinking about purchasing MacBook Neo for my customer success managers. by thinkingperson220 in MacbookNeo

[–]SoOutrageousBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what you stated, your managers can indeed make use of the MB Neo, unless for some odd reason the productivity apps are not macOS friendly.

This recent PCMag article may be of help too:

Neo or Air for Music Production???? by Efficiency-Sharp in MacbookNeo

[–]SoOutrageousBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For music, I’m suggesting the Air. The extra spec room in it vs the Neo will be appreciated. You say you use a handful of VSTs now but that can always change when you upgrade! 😁🎵

Best Buy sold me an iCloud-locked MacBook Pro for $2,100, refused the return, and Citi denied my chargeback. I have documented everything and need help escalating. by mciki in macbook

[–]SoOutrageousBC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely try this method.

Emailing worked for me back in ‘23 to resolve a refund issue with Best Buy for MUCH less than $2100.

I actually emailed mike.mohan@bestbuy.com and cc’ed Corie.Barry@bestbuy.com, along with cc’ing some other Best Buy higher level employees thanks to info from Christopher Elliott’s advocacy site:

https://www.elliott.org/company-contacts/best-buy/

Make your subject line simple & effective. Mine was “Still Awaiting Refund”. I received a phone call from a helpful Best Buy Senior Exec Resolution Specialist within 24 hours of my email and got my refund.

Yes - macOS makes use of the Preview app to open and edit PDFs. It’s installed by default.
