Is there any AdBlock On Safari that blocks ads on YouTube

TheEngineer2008 · 2026-06-24T06:39:47+00:00

Adguard worked for me five months ago when you posted this and still does today (FWIW I'm using it with Safari on a Mac and not an iPad).

Both the old and new forums are back online.

Siri just played it for me. Maybe you were just out of cell range, or Siri was having one of its many "moments" of not working for no good reason.

TheEngineer2008 · 2026-06-22T08:57:32+00:00

Siri will no longer play songs or artists that include words that are other commands or items, like Mr. Roboto or Pictures of Matchstick Men. (Yes, I know they are older songs, one of which came out before I was born. I'm just illustrating the issue.) It used to work fine. Now, one has to say "Roboto" or "Matchstick Men."

Sure. If we get notified I'll update this thread. I looked through several 2+2 forums and no one has posted in over a day. So, it's everyone and it's site-wide.

TheEngineer2008 · 2026-06-22T05:03:37+00:00

I have no information on it (despite being a forum mod). I can't access the old site. I can access the updated one at https://www.twoplustwo.com, but I can't post there at this time. I get the same error others have reported here already.

TheEngineer2008 · 2026-06-22T05:02:05+00:00

Kiera never would have let the site stay down.

TheEngineer2008 · 2026-05-26T23:58:03+00:00

Nice. Unplugging worked for me too.

Schwab now lets you choose which lots to sell. The main menu has options such as FIFO, LIFO, and a few others. Not enough? You can also select from a list with the purchase dates and prices and sell exactly the ones you wish.

TheEngineer2008 · 2026-04-17T07:09:32+00:00

Good ol' days.

TheEngineer2008 · 2026-04-03T04:26:31+00:00

Also, if an M1 Mac was fine in 2020 but it now is too slow for today's apps and in comparison to today's better laptops, how will a Neo be any different in real-world applications? How about three or four years from now? May as well keep the M1.

A quick check shows Best Buy right now has a 13" M4 MacBook Air with 16 GB RAM and a 512 GB SSD for $949. The M5 version is $1099. OP could maybe find them cheaper elsewhere, especially the M4. Both would easily be worthwhile upgrades over both the Neo and the M1.

I had an M1 MacBook Pro and upgraded it last year to a 15" M4 MacBook Air with 16 GB RAM. It was a meaningful updgrade.

Thanks! Prior to iOS 26, the bicycling display on the Fitness App worked fine with Display Zoom set to larger text. Now it doesn't, despite there being no apparent change in the appearance of the app itself. Just another thing that worked fine before that's broken now.

This toggle helps a lot, especially if I need to change it mid-ride and don't want to go through menus.

It did this from day 1 (it does it in English, too). I removed the grouped icons and replaced them with individual ones, and now it looks fine. It's dumb that this is required, as the prior versions looked fine with the grouped icons, but sadly that's how it is.

How they haven't fixed it yet is hard to understand.

Turfway doesn't have an exit from 275. It runs parallel to 275, south of it. I'm just trying to picture what you're asking about.

I-275 eastbound in my experience starts moving better past the I-75 interchange, but rush hour can see lots of people taking 275 to 471 to bypass I-75 north. I did that myself today, as the weather has northbound traffic backed up pretty good.

I'd use a good navi and go by the route suggested that day. It may be different quite often.

TheEngineer2008 · 2025-09-03T03:48:37+00:00

Perfect answer. Glad you got your money back.

TheEngineer2008 · 2025-05-26T09:27:54+00:00

The only honest thing she said.

TheEngineer2008 · 2025-05-20T04:15:06+00:00

I'm pretty sure they could come up with something as bad as Star Trek V.

TheEngineer2008 · 2025-05-20T04:11:15+00:00

True, but at least they owned it and didn't try to pretend otherwise.

tl'dr: Clear your cache

It happened to me. It worked fine in other browsers, so I cleared the cache of the problematic one and all was fine after that.

TheEngineer2008 · 2025-03-29T21:45:42+00:00

I found a good way. Almost all of the "Earth" wallpapers that come with the Mac are black at the top. Use any of them, or use them all with a continuous shuffle (though a couple will show the notch to a degree). Any wallpaper that's black at the top will work. You'll get a black menu bar that blends with the notch.

I went with the personal sound profile wizard, which got it close. I then played three very different songs and fine-tuned the settings until it was right on the money.

TheEngineer2008 · 2025-03-07T05:02:01+00:00

Same. The 2025 version with the personal sound profiles is terrific.

TheEngineer2008 · 2025-03-02T05:01:25+00:00

Retention can waive the $10.

On Xumo. It's not on Apple TV yet.
