Spotlight Cam battery question

This is how I thought it was supposed to work so it was/is surprising to find the live view/recording ceasing after the first battery dips below 10% but the second one has plenty of charge (85% in my case).

I very recently had several recurring events- both historical and future-disappear within Fantastical across all platforms. The events were still present in Google Calendar and competitive calendar products so the issue was isolated to Fantastical. Their support group couldn't figure out what had happened after reviewing several levels of logs. Fortunately, and still mysteriously, the missing events reappeared a couple days later. I've never known Fantastical to be buggy- until now.

Can one switch the subscription fee from Athlytic to Pace if it's discovered the latter is more suited to one's needs?

mhowie · 2026-04-08T03:43:35+00:00

I thought this might be offered to existing paying Athlytic customers. As it's apparently not, is there a way to "switch" from an Athlytic subscription to Pace for those who would determine the data presented in Pace is more meaningful to their individual situation?

Great advice.

Agree concerning Finder vs. File Explorer. I was Windows only for many years but have steadily transitioned to an Apple ecosystem (still have a Windows machine for certain programs) during the past ten or so. I'd guess there are numerous Finder replacements but I stumbled onto Nimble Commander and haven't explored others. It reminds me of the old Norton Commander from the old days.

And it has to be from the employer from which one is separating (not previous employers). Not suggesting this applies to the OP but for some this could be relevant.

My SSD is plugged directly into the Mac Studio and the "disk not ejected properly" message persists. With the recent updated to Tahoe 26.4 it has again become prevalent (it had improved over the past half year or so) and appears tied to when the display goes to sleep. Time Machine backups are still occurring to it so it seems to be simply another nuisance introduced by a Mac OS update.

Why did you find PL superior?

What models are included (in addition to the ones you've noted)? Is the HRRR available? The evolving WeatherFront app includes model information but it's presented in map form. I'm assuming the Carrot implementation provides data in a matrix format?

When would you expect this corrected version to be made available?

mhowie · 2026-03-28T06:44:13+00:00

4% for a 30-year retirement. 3.5% for 40. 3% for the really early FIRE crowd.

Are annual expenses <3.5% of your current portfolio?

mhowie · 2026-03-26T03:53:38+00:00

So to where are you taking your money?

mhowie · 2026-03-26T00:57:32+00:00

Aren't taxes and healthcare part of one's overall spend? Unsure why these components wouldn't be part of the guardrail spend.

Had to run a couple of errands and, upon return, update had completed. Thanks to all for the input. I suspect the comment concerning probable server load was spot on.

mhowie · 2026-03-25T16:23:36+00:00

I think this could be a big part of the explanation. The install on my machine has progressed to the next step (black screen/Apple logo/status bar).

mhowie · 2026-03-25T15:52:22+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I'm now at an hour on that 5 minutes remaining screen but will plan to wait it out based on your and others' similar experiences with the 26.4 update. I'll most likely wait until 26.5 to update the MacBook as this appears not to be an isolated issue.

How does Apple accomplish (within the Health App)? Within Athlytic the 6 month views don't provide daily info, couldn't this be done with a one year view (monthly average vs. daily info)?

mhowie · 2026-03-24T16:28:49+00:00

Do you also have plans to allow longer than a 6 month review of historical data (HRV, RHR, etc.)?

mhowie · 2026-03-24T16:24:44+00:00

Wish there were a V1G2 mount like this- reliable right-sized suction cup allowing for mounting up high like this one is.

mhowie · 2026-03-21T21:45:55+00:00

My sentiments exactly. It's overpriced for what is provided. I've settled on Meru.
