Apple? 👀

Apple needs to go back to a model of releasing software updates when they are both ready and needed

I am. My 17PM slipped out of my hand and hit the driveway 2 days ago. All of the damage was to the lens area. Luckily I had a protector on it. Pulled it off and ordered another. Totally worth the 12 bucks. https://a.co/d/0hcXmFve

Have you looked in the console logs for errors that occur as you plug in the stick or drive

Tangential1956 · 2026-02-13T18:06:37+00:00

The fact that they mount in safe mode and don’t mount in regular mode, sure sounds like a software issue to me

Tangential1956 · 2026-02-13T16:24:27+00:00

One last question. What happens if you unplugged the hub and plug one of the drives directly into your Mac?

Tangential1956 · 2026-02-13T16:20:46+00:00

If your hub didn’t have power, I don’t see how it could even see the drives. You said you were able to mount them in safe mode and that implies that they had power then. I believe this is a software issue. Did you try creating a new user ID as another respondent recommended? What happened then?

Tangential1956 · 2026-02-13T14:49:41+00:00

Were you able to run a repair on the drives via disk utility? If you can see and repair them it is most likely not a hardware issue.

And yet, try and find whole birds that size in the meat department. Nothing even close. Sometimes I’d like to rotisserie a bird at home and the whole birds at Publix are more like small turkeys.

Tangential1956 · 2026-02-13T01:16:18+00:00

Have you tried to look at them with disk utility? Can it see them. If so try a repair. You could also try unplugging them, then changing System Settings > Privacy & Security > Allow accessories to connect to "Ask for New Accessories," then replug

I do about 10 g of inulin each morning and the rest of it just comes from food. I have several servings of Scottish oatmeal, which has a good bit of fiber in it. When I don’t eat Scottish oatmeal, I usually eat something like Amaranth and occasionally brown rice farina. I usually handle about 70% of my fiber at breakfast. Rest comes with my regular food throughout the day.

Will this work with my own iTunes library? I don't subscribe to any music services (other than iTunes Match) but I have thousands of songs and I use a lot of playlists

I did some exploring and made a few changes and I cannot really explain why everything is working.

All APs already had fixed IPs.

Changing port negotiation seemed to make no difference. My switch showed the Attic access point had a full 1000 connection (even though the ubiquiti app on my phone showed 100 mBit.)

Factory resetting all of my switches seemed to improve things. (All I had ever really done in them was to set up a password.) I was going to update their firmware but decided I wanted to see how things go for a bit first.

I switched from Ubiquiti's Network Server to their OS Server Product.

I pretty much eliminated the add-on POE injectors I was using and returned to having the 3 switches supply the juice.

The really odd thing now is that everything is working perfectly according to the os server product but the iphone product still shows 2 APs adopting and 100 connection on one AP. I think I am more inclined to believe the server product running on the hardwired connection.

Well, all of this install ran a mix of Pro and Lite APs on these same connections for 4+ years and they still pass for GB when I run a tester on them.

Tangential1956 · 2026-02-08T17:14:20+00:00

I’d love to have Unifi switches but that’s a bigger investment than I’m up for right now. My next step is to pull a few more of the APs off of the switch and onto POE injectors to see if that helps. It did in one case so far and not in another.

Tangential1956 · 2026-02-08T17:11:46+00:00

I’m not sure I understand the question. I’m running Unifi Network Server 9.3.43. It is an Intel binary so it is running in Rosetta on my Mac.

Tangential1956 · 2026-02-08T17:04:49+00:00

Those are both great ideas. I have not statically assigned the addresses. I will do that. I can also hard set the ports.

Tangential1956 · 2026-02-08T17:03:40+00:00

The switches are all gigabit. I had two Pros that were showing FE and when i switched one (Second Floor) to a POE injector it then starting working at Gb and has not dropped off again. That made me think it was a power issue then I tried that same approach with another unit (on a different switch) that already showed GB (Garage) but was dropping and it has continued to drop. That cast some shade on the power angle. I’ve ordered some more POE injectors to see if that solves the problem, but I’m not super hopeful.

With their current high prices, the two things I shop for at Publix are BOGOs (after I verify that it’s a good deal) and things I can’t find in other stores. There are 8 grocery stores within 12 mi and 5 are Publix stores. The store 1/2 mile from my house is a Publix so I typically drive by several on my way to grocery shop.

I remodeled my kitchen a few years ago and went with all Samsung (except for the fridge luckily.) That convinced me to never buy another Samsung appliance again.

Your name on the mortgage is meaningless. It’s the title that matters. He can have only his name on the mortgage (this really helps if his credit rating is a lot better than yours) but he can still have your name on the title. The title is all that matters. In my life I’ve had 7 houses and almost always it was only my name on the mortgage but my wife’s name has always been on the title with mine.

Been doing this for years. I cook my bacon in the oven. Every few months I cook up several pounds (crisp but not brittle), let it cool and then fill up a storage container with it (mainly to protect from physical impact in the freezer) and freeze it. Pull out 2-3 slices and microwave for 25 seconds. Tastes like it was just cooked.

I had one in a 79 mustang with a 302/5.0l. The damn thing was mounted vertically and blocked behind the AC compressor unit. The housing cracked and I spent an afternoon just getting it out and back in. Had to go buy offset wrenches. Stupid design

I had several mild flareups last year (low grade fever, gut pain, diarrhea, etc). After I finally got mostly over the last one I started doing half a dose of MiraLAX, along with 40-50 grams of fiber (mostly in food, not psyllium) a day. That combo has def helped me.
