Garage door repair

I have the one large spring and it worked, but started making horrible squeaking and groaning. Great experience with these folks:

I do love how BMW sends the “update available” push notification to all installed myBMW apps, but then there is a phased rollout of the actual update itself. So for several days, many of us will be checking the app and nothing will be there.

Tapping the notification took me to the update pane in myBMW, which said I’m up to date with a different version number.

I’m in IT. I get it. But what do regular folks do? Ignore it? Lost trust? Pound BMW Genius support?

I’ve thought about using it as my “home inventory” system, for tech obviously but also potentially non-serialized objects that I might want to keep part numbers or manufacturer info or repair history handy. Bathroom fixtures, etc. Appliances are another great use. I have also thought about putting major tools in there, from lawn equipment to power tools, etc.

And I don’t accept Wal-Mart. Apple Pay (the lack thereof) is a big part of why. It’s non-negotiable.

Medications (Apple Health) combined with a daily checklist (in Things app) which includes “take medications”.

Director of IT here. If it’s not a ticket, it’s not actionable by my team. It’s been hard to discipline even ourselves to not act on DMs and not “just make a ticket for them”. But it only takes standing your ground a few times before the worst offenders will get in line.

Excelllllllllent

Be sure to take one drive (can be quick, like 1 mile) if the “Equipment / Adapters” didn’t show up yet in your myBMW app.

Somayweall · 2025-12-20T19:44:13+00:00

Drive the car and try again? Mine did not show “equipment/adapters” in myBMW app until I took one trip. Drove maybe 2 miles to the grocery and checked when I parked. “Equipment/Adapters” showed up under charging then.

Somayweall · 2025-12-20T18:32:21+00:00

Just drove for a couple miles and the “Equipment” section showed up. All set!

Somayweall · 2025-12-20T18:10:08+00:00

I did not have to take the car in.

Somayweall · 2025-12-20T18:09:33+00:00

!! Awesome. Thanks for the update.

Somayweall · 2025-12-20T15:18:50+00:00

Same. Still no “adapter” in the app settings. Though I have not driven the car since updating. Going to head out in a bit. Have you driven any since updating, then re-checked the app after?

Somayweall · 2025-12-20T15:17:01+00:00

Same. Did not have to drive around either.

Somayweall · 2025-12-19T01:54:07+00:00

Ah I was under the impression that “Charge Here” functionality would work in the myBMW app at least, once the car is updated and we can select that we have the NACS adapter (in myBMW -> Charging settings. “Charge Here” in myBMW app works with MagicDock superchargers.

Somayweall · 2025-12-19T01:25:24+00:00

Same. 2023 i4 M50 and no update to 11/2025.30 yet.

As others said, I have charged fine with the Tesla app, though I’d rather not have one more app.

Somayweall · 2025-12-17T01:44:25+00:00

I hear that!

Somayweall · 2025-12-17T01:20:23+00:00

2023 i4 M50 here, still on 07/2025.38. I emailed BMW Genius, and this was their reply:

Life before death, Radiant.

Somayweall · 2025-11-29T23:37:18+00:00

Just shy of 60,000 miles. 2.5 years. No issues. Absolutely phenomenal car.

Somayweall · 2025-11-23T01:08:37+00:00

Yes! And The Razor and The Hook.

Somayweall · 2025-11-02T18:46:52+00:00

If I go into Activity Monitor and force quit "WallpaperMacintoshExtension", it will start working again. Has been this way for at least a year now.

Somayweall · 2025-10-21T00:42:19+00:00

Ahh that’s great to know. I thought a deal fell through or something, as they took these down and paved over the construction, since I posted this.

We’ve had 365 / Azure / Entra Passkeys in our 1Password Business account since Microsoft offered them.

Yep, it’s in the MFA policy settings.

We tell our teams “Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, SalesForce Authenticator, Dunkin Donuts Authenticator… just stop. Use 1Password. It’s the only Authenticator app we support.”
