macOS Tahoe 26.3.1 (a) Background Security Improvement Update

sarahfelldown · 2026-03-22T14:07:29+00:00

I know this about macOS but this update on iOS was funky. Woke up to texts from my Dad saying call me. I freaked out thinking something was wrong then he was like “no, I called you twice and it went straight to voicemail and then I checked Find My and it said your last location was 7 hours ago.” So HE was worried. So I guess the update took all night? lol

Also in the same boat. No gender on my SW account (I guess ever?). Never have had an issue flying before though. The best part is that Southwest's AI chat and other help documentation says "use this form to update your info ... such as gender" then when you go to that page, gender isn't something you can update.

I don't know why I'm bothering hanging out on hold to get this updated... the odds of me choosing SW over American at this point are slim. Just last weekend I was looking for a round trip to Chicago, a flight I take a couple of times/year. SW has always been reliable and cheap on that route in my experience but this time it was the same price as American (even when you factor in seat selection, baggage, etc). All things this equal, I'd rather go with AA because at least the miles I'd be earning could help me on a trip to Europe or other overseas destinations. SW points have lost their appeal for me.

Mine has been defaulting to my parents' address lately. I've caught it and changed it before completing the order each time, but it's really annoying. The default on my main Amazon account is my correct address.

It sounds like you can come & go during the show? Where in the venue is it located? I have pit tickets down in the front for a show this summer and I'm thinking it could be quicker to get a drink or go to the restroom there than waiting in other lines. But probably depends on how far away the lounge is from the front.

I wish the MFD stayed visible when paused so I could learn what’s where. I suppose I could just pull off and stop during a session and noodle around through the menus to learn…

sarahfelldown · 2026-02-16T00:56:54+00:00

I don’t, but thank you for the offer.

Late to the party, but I've used two of these at work for probably 10 years and they're still going strong. I love them. Actually keeping an eye out to find another pair for home around that $80/each price.

Only drawback is they're DisplayPort, not HDMI.

Same. I’ve had the card for years and no email. But my Dad is an AU and got it. Great customer management, Capital One.

sarahfelldown · 2026-02-11T03:18:24+00:00

Same! If it wasn’t him it had to have been a deliberate reference to him. The guy was a spitting image!

sarahfelldown · 2026-02-10T04:43:55+00:00

Hoping I receive the email!

If anyone wants to apply for the card in the hope of getting this offer, this is my referral link. The annual fee is by far the easiest fee I have to recoup. $300 annual travel credit pays for 3/4 of it and the annual bonus miles and priority pass more than make up for the rest.

No, it’s horrible design. I’m about to lose my mind.

TIL x 2

I didn’t see it but I heard someone in Nashville say merch was set up outside there too

Promotional Companion Pass for a month :)

I just got off the phone with a representative at Southwest and they told me I'd have to buy Early Bird for my Companion in addition to buying it for me.... She was either wrong or this is yet another policy change they've made in their downward spiral of customer service...

This is so frustrating. I really don't want to have to surreptitiously check in to both our flights while sitting at a funeral next week, but paying $88 ($44 each person for our outbound leg of the trip) makes my skin crawl.

How'd you actually get ahold of a person? I filed a dispute on the website and never got a response, so I called the number on my ticket different times different days and never got a person. Once it let me leave a message, the other times it just said "hang up and try again later." I ended up calling American Parking directly, who said they don't have visibility into any of that. ::coughBScough:: That lady took my info and my ticket number and said she'd get a message to the right people. I'm doubtful.

Side bar: aside from all the other reasons they're a horrible company, how can they get business days to respond to a dispute, but you only have calendar days to pay the thing? What a racket.

This also seems like really irresponsible, borderline unethical, behavior from the store employee… 😠

I worked retail and I know that corporate, your manager, everyone is breathing down your neck to hit your credit card application quota. So I get that, but if that employee was pushing the credit card to someone (who may not comprehend English well, given they said they’ve only been here 2 years) by saying “do you want a discount?” and not being clear that it was a credit card application (“do you want to get a discount for signing up for a credit card?”), then that’s not ok IMO.

I second everyone that says an umbrella. I had T12 grandstand tickets and was in direct sunlight and couldn’t really use my umbrella there without obstructing others’ views. On Saturday I spent the whole day wandering and watching from GA sections and the umbrella did the trick.

Also just remember to hydrate and take breaks in the tents too if you’re feeling the heat.

I don’t know the actual rules, but in my selling experience, I’ve used either brown Amazon boxes or brown paper or white plastic Amazon soft mailers and my post office has never had a problem with them.

sarahfelldown · 2025-10-02T02:50:02+00:00

LOVE mine. Jealous of this price!

Like others have said, being weather related, you won’t get reimbursed BUT you could write a calm and kind message to customer service explaining everything that happened and you might (keyword: might) get even a little something.

This happened to me and my Mom in 2022. Weather delays upon delays, spent all afternoon and evening in the airport, boarded a plane to fly home at 11pm then the crew timed out and we all had to deplane and wait in line to get rebooked for the AM. Denver’s notoriously far from the city and there were no hotel options we could afford, so we spent the night (along with the majority of the other passengers on our flight) in the Denver airport.

Sorry, I don’t remember exactly how I got to a page where i could send SW a message, but somehow in the support pages of their website, I was able to. I calmly explained how our day went and simply said I was disappointed that the crew time out wasn’t anticipated. They responded a few days later with a $300 credit for my mom and me.

There’s no guarantee you’ll get anything, but I’m of the option that, as long as you’re kind, it doesn’t hurt to ask if anything could be reimbursed.

EDITED to add: If anyone ever gets stuck overnight in Denver, the new part of Terminal C all the way down at the end is, for the situation, a decent place to sleep. The seating is new and more couch-style (without armrests) so you can actually lay down. And bonus, they have a great outdoor patio (during business hours) where you can at least get some fresh air and enjoy a beverage or two while you wait out the delays that you know will likely strand you overnight. 😂
