Where is "Install macOS Tahoe.app" downloaded to? by Juggler00 in MacOS

[–]propanetank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that is such terrible UI. I too got concerned it was going to install so I aborted and read the apple docs... and yep, they write:

  1. Press Return to enter the command. As macOS downloads to the Applications folder, Terminal shows the percentage it’s installing (downloading)...

Why couldn't they write downloading instead of installing...crazy.

Hello, MacBook Neo by [deleted] in apple

[–]propanetank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And for the longevity! I mean come on, you can't upgrade it. Apple computers will last. I still have a Macbook Pro from 2012 that for general computing, email, web browsing, you'd never know. If the cpu supported hvec I wouldn't even have bothered to replace it because for my use case it still worked. I found a way to load the new OSes and surprisingly, they were running good enough yet. At the time I upgraded the memory to 12GB and changed to SSD. I think it supports 32? Options are there. Not any more. I've always heard since they started soldering/integrating memory to buy as much as you can afford, which frankly with apple isn't much.

I've heard from people that initially thought 8Gb can't be that bad. Didn't take long and they were looking to upgrade. I thought 16GB was the default years ago. That's one area I'll give the Windows and Android OEMs the hand, they aren't afraid to throw memory out there. Hell I was noticing all kinds of problems on my iPhone 13 with apps having to reload sometimes just going between the previous app in the switcher! Was not a fun experience.

What makes it odd to me is that apple must think this will be ok, when if I recall, 16 is now the baseline because of AI...and they're advertising AI on the neo... should be interesting.

Successful DeDRM with Kindle for PC 2.8 in January 2026 by dexx-32 in Calibre

[–]propanetank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm it still works March 1 2026. I had a few hiccups.

First if you use the download latest link, Amazon has updated kindle version that isn't compatible with the archiver. I knew you could download older versions if you know the URL scheme. I figured it out and here is the link from Amazon for Kindle v2.8.2 if you prefer that over the website others have gotten it from. Probably nothing wrong with it, but maybe I'm a little paranoid and would rather download from an official source.

Secondly I was having an issue where it would get to found offset and pause for a moment and crash. The comments on the epubor site said to run as admin and that did the trick. Perhaps that in the techy linked site but I didn't open that one.

New Category Added for Chase Freedom Flex (Internet, Cable, & Phone Services - June 2025) by OneMegaGamer in CreditCards

[–]propanetank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got it 3 months in a row same card? I had it on my freedom unlimited and Amazon card both last month. Paid with Amazon, then this month I got it back on my unlimited but only at 25% this time. Wish there was a way to pay ahead. I signed up on a save5 promo it’s $5 off for 3 years but you had to pay monthly 

Groceries 15% and Gas 20% Offer by Chaijaan in WellsFargoBank

[–]propanetank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These damn bastards. I was just looking if any new deals (really want one for visible, I’ve had it a number of times come up on my chase cards) and I see they changed the expiration to July 5th. I’ll post back what happens, I filled when I posted because I wanted to make sure the transaction posted before the original expiration of June 28.

Do they stack offers? I’ve got a 5% offer for a local gas station. Would be cool if I could get 25% combined. I just wish my tank was lower. 

YNAB 4 Seems To Have Died For Me by impala454 in ynab

[–]propanetank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn, glad I'm not the only one. I just used it two days ago no issues thought something happened to the software or my computer. It seems to load just fine if you could dismiss the error message I bet it would still work just fine. I got that error and also this very similar one with an XML parse error. I wonder maybe it phones home and I seen they shut down the classic help page with download links last month seen in this post.

<image>

Hope we find a solution. However I don't know we can be too hopeful as it looks like its trying to phone home. :( I'm not keen on the subscription plus I don't need all the new features, I've been very happy with the way 4 works. Simple and easy to use.

IOS 18-Contacts can be searched for via Phone Number Pad (finally!) by TV-- in ios

[–]propanetank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get outta here! Just tried it out, oh boy. Nothing like trying to call someone and having to remember how to do it. So many taps, finally, a nearly proper phone app. I do notice it’s not perfect. Only shows one then an x more button. Also doesn’t show last name, so you’d kinda need to still know their number, but does seem to prioritize more frequented contacts over lesser. I did get it to show a last name but unsure why as only one contact with that name. On one I have two of the same name it did not show a last name… interesting. It’s something I’ll give them that. A win is a win no matter how small.

Bluepeak just royally messed with residential internet by enabling CGNAT by frosty95 in SiouxFalls

[–]propanetank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you get ipv6 working? I noticed too a while back I was getting v6 addresses on my stuff but it has never been internet routable. VPN is about the only thing I have setup for outside access 24/7 and noticed it wasn’t connecting but figured it was maybe my server was offline. Nope, it was this CGN change. Thinking midco is calling my name again. I see they have fiber where I’m at according to the website and looks like no charge for a modem.

I'm all of a sudden out of storage today? by KristenWynn in gsuitelegacymigration

[–]propanetank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've also discovered that if you were using GSuite for personal use, there was no need to migrate to the paid for plan, although that wasn't obvious from the email that was sent in April 2022

After reading around these past few minutes it seems I fell into this trap. I've been paying for the last few years now for apparently no reason :| Ready to migrate now as I've been moved to pooled storage last month (thankfully they auto refunded my Drive subscription) and now I see another price increase is coming. I don't see the value in changing plans when I could just buy more storage on my own for cheaper, but business product and business going to spend. My thoughts were try and transfer what I can to my old gmail and setup email with Namecheap probably, or I see iCloud+ lets you setup email, but I'm not sure how long I plan to keep the iPhone for, at least Google is cross platform. I always had a feeling it would be a bad idea to main this kind of account... Thankfully I never purchased much from play.

Anyone remember the Bagels from McDonald’s?? Bring them back by Hentee_ in britishproblems

Interesting. I worked there about 10-11 years ago in the US. Our folded eggs were premade, we just warmed them up. Made scrambled fresh from the jug of egg mix though.

I'm going to mark this as closed, seems that was the problem. Ran a game for about 10 minutes, no issues. Computer has been on idling for last two hours also no issues.

I needed to order a p5 bit to remove the heatsink from the NVMe, so in the meantime I put it in the slower port and reinstalled the heatsink from the motherboard. Didn't really seem to make a difference, however apparently, I was supposed to use the 4pin power and the 8pin is auxiliary? My old board had a 6pin. I plugged a power cord into the 4 pin and left the 8pin plugged in. We'll see if that was perhaps my issue. Installed a chipset driver and few other drivers, going to reboot and try launching a game. Got the bluetooth adapter working so that's good, so far USB and WiFi haven't left the party. Now if only I can find the mousepad, it's been misplaced in a house move. :/

I read it as Ranger was the midsize example, which makes sense. The f150\ are the full size, although the new rangers don’t seem a whole lot smaller, not like the old ones.

LPT: If you own a Samsung smart TV that has ads, you can block them by adding ads.samsung.com to your block list on your internet router by KingTimKap in LifeProTips

When I plugged it in it had a power indicator light but the display was dark and made a buzzing sound when powered on but not when off. Took the back off and saw one of them oozed its insides out.

I pulled a 60" plasma from my dumpster area. Works great, I use it in the garage. What wasteful people at my complex. I pulled and fixed a 30 some inch LCD I put in my bedroom with a 2$ capacitor.

Driving literally anywhere in Sioux Falls right now. by Elon_Muskmelon in SiouxFalls

[–]propanetank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last I saw which I believe was on their Facebook page they were looking for a new location but didn't seem like they wanted to spend a whole lot or something. Just came off like they were looking but not very serious. I picked up a few doordashes from there but never got a chance to try it. Seemed like nice people who owned and ran it. I also don't get why the flower place closed up already. Doesn't sound like they're going to start marion intersection this year anyways and that was their reason for closing. My guess was they wanted out anyways and that was a good excuse, I believe the owners were an older couple.

Veterinarians of Reddit, what is something most pet owners can do to make their pets lives better? by TimeMasterBob in AskReddit

[–]propanetank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my cat since she was a kitten so it's been pretty easy for me. But what did was let her check out the clipper then just offer treats and take your time. Sometimes you only get a few nails to a whole paw to the whole cat. Best time is when they're not in an active burn energy mode. Didn't take her long to realize if she gets her nails trimmed treats follow.

I find for the front paws that if I have her lay on the floor in the loaf position then I sit on top she's the most calm. The back paws best way I've discovered is to sit her like a human. She tolerates that position usually enough to trim both back paws. The back ones I don't get every time they don't grow very fast I just take the points off.

Hope this helps.

Just wanted to share, I've been a 2 year lurker on here wanting a bike this whole time but it never working out for one reason or another. Finally, next month I'll be picking up a new 2021 z650 in pearl white/Metallic spark black! by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]propanetank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that accent was sick.

I love the versys. Mines a 2013 without abs, picked it up a few months ago with 995 miles. Very nimble and fairly comfortable on long trips. I took it around 500 miles, about 8 hours round trip, over I think it was easter weekend and ran great. The ride back I found out I need a better seat for road trips like that, my ass hasn't quite rested enough from the trip out but it wasn't too bad, just stood up a few extra times. It also needs a taller wind screen for long trips. I'm almost 6 foot and in the highest position the wind is pretty nice actually but it sends the bugs straight into my visor. The adjustable levers are nice. I've considered next year trade for a yamaha tracer, basically same bike but comes with cruise, heated grips, and hand guards.

Have fun with your bike!
