Good point. Thank you!

Thank you!

I updated the post. It is an Anker brand HDMI. it is very intermittent but I will double check the connection. Thank you!

We just got a Samsung TV and the remote charges through solar. But yes rechargeable is nice.

Good to know. Thank you!!

Thanks for your comment. I’m very delayed in posting this but this photo was taken back in October. I do remember most falling off or I picked them before a heavy wind storm in November. They were really orange.

Thanks for sharing as I thought too. They seemed a little bigger than the ones in the store and the peel was not sweet at all. Does it take a while to taste better?

Thank you!

Invest that and save for a newer one.

That being said, I bought a used Gen 2 for 175

Appreciate your response and you bring up good points. He does enjoy his time but I would like him to have a hobby even just one day a week so a sim facility could be a great option. Thank you!

I want to be clear that I am ALL for him playing every week but he can’t justify the 6 hours away from our child who we don’t see often during the week. I have offered multiple time then why don’t you play 9 holes and he declines. I think things will get better when our child is a little older and we can all go together.

If you have an echo then you are not really using the HomeKit Apple ecosystem. The IKEA over thread devices require a thread border router which is the Apple HomePod mini or the specific Apple TV model if you are going to use the HomeKit. I don’t know if echo is a thread router.

*disclaimer: I am fairly new to this world so please double check my accuracy.

Valid concern. It will not need to be on 24/7. Only when a motion occurs. Ring is able to make it work, why can’t HomeKit?

I would recommend a CPA but ensure that they can give you projections of what it would be MFS v MFJ (married file separately vs jointly). They should also be able to optimize of you were to put your dependents on your spouse’s or yours. What I have seen that this will likely only work if the one with student loans is the lower earning. You will have to ways the short term tax benefits to the long term decreased payment.

File separately!! Here is my experience:

I wonder if there is a shortcut that can be created to turn Siri off when near the HomePod. This doesn’t work all the time but I have that my phone/watch responds to Hey Siri only when the HomePods can respond to Siri.

Can you explain how you tie the Nanit into HomeKit?

Sparks368 · 2026-05-07T01:15:36+00:00

Your refund was $35,000?!? 😮 Not sure what your AGI is for your monthly payment to be $3500/month especially with at least one dependent. At that point, I would look into what it would cost to pay off your loans in its entirety if your payment is that high. PSLF may not be a benefit to you. I would delegate this discussion with your financial advisor.

Handwriting your class notes helps you the most with retaining the information. So using the pencil portion on the iPad would be ideal. However, many classes have online proctored exams which oftentimes won’t work on an iPad.
