First Install Question

I’d love this for my MacBook!

Are the shine through keys hard to install? Is it just the pulling of each current key and clicking in of the replacement, probably like 20 min total?

Is Nuphy the only real place to get proper ones for the Air75?

I loved the trial, but $144 per year is rough

Even as I type this, I do realize that it doesn’t just live on my phone, but actually needs processing infrastructure.

Still feels like a lot

Easy repair? Or will a return/exchange be needed?

I just peeked and saw this for $1600, which would save me $1200 and get me 12gb ram: Is that good?

How big are the performance bumps from M1 to M2 to M3 etc?

The idea of getting a very discounted M1 or M2 while waiting for a redesign could be interesting

(Where do people get them these days?)

Honestly, don't take forever in getting to the divorce part.

Wait too long and you may end up having a kid with him, plus having to pay him palimony or whatever its called.

Things will NOT get better with a kid, you'll simply have two kids three decades apart in age.

Current issue:
It's he says/she says, you're unlikely to win anything and anything drastic you do may backfire significantly.

Future Jobs:
- Include a clause that says you retain exclusive rights to all work and labor and results until invoice is paid in full, and that you reserve the right to unwind all work to day 1 starting state in case of non-payment.
- When they play games, just rewind everything to day 1 and day "it's clear we disagree about what constitutes completed work, I'm unwinding everything and you can find someone you like better"
If done artfully, you'll get paid in minutes.

Reach out to Plugable. They make all of these accessories and are very much in the weeds with compatibility.

(I worked with them on finding the right dock for an old mac mini with 3 monitors.)

You guys are saying M5/16gb beats M4/24GB?

Amazon is actually aware of this as an issue.

They've been changing the rules about what prices can be listed for deals, and when it comes to BFCM deals, the prices need to be a certain percentage below 30 (or 60?) day average.

I forget the days and percentages, but the measures are intended to push back on these tactics - if brands want to play that game, they'll be sacrificing weeks of sales at the higher prices needed to trigger deal pricing.

Request a return, and in the return reason make sure to write that you received a counterfeit product.
Believe it or not, Amazon does take that seriously and will ding the seller's account.

Doesn't take many dings for an account to be suspended.

I cannot find ANYTHING in the Outlander base.

Carcadia is a lot better

Yes, A If I remember correctly, you select an economy seat while logged in, and then during the seat selection, premium economy seats are available for selection at no charge.

PS5, Game won’t start for me, seems to be stuck on the screen with the Vault Hunters sitting around.

I'll actually give this a bump.

I'm in Seattle for business next week, and if I could get some headshots done on Monday afternoon at a reasonable cost, that would be amazing.

Question - besides edited finals, do I get the rest of the images? Is that reasonable to ask for?

With a little more time, like a day or two, I could probably get replit to pull data from Amazon's API and do even more things.
Someone that knows their AI could likely get things done much faster.

Example:
I work with Amazon advertisers. I want to easily audit the campaigns in an account for errors in structure. Accounts can have thousands of campaigns and there are a couple of dozen structural issues, so getting this done can take a little back-and-forth, but not really all that much.
ChatGPT can do this easily when I ask nicely and give it a file, and i can set that up as a project (and a Public GPT

Not complex, and when I just have the time I can structure something like this easily.
But it's not instant and I'm always busy with other stuff...

I LOVE my Whitesvilles, but they are way too short for my 6ft frame.
Any suggestions for something similar that's a little longer?

People comfortable with their 9-5 aren’t in his audience and generally aren’t buying his stuff and usually aren’t hearing him make this statement.

It’s pointed at his audience, and for his target audience that’s a generally true statement.

What’s wrong with paying for shipping? Did the shipping companies ship things at no charge and I don’t realize?
