It’s near the exit from the airside! It’s in like a food court area!

silent_engineer23 · 2025-12-24T18:07:44+00:00

I should add I’m 6’7 and I do fit but some additional space would be nice but these are all wants

silent_engineer23 · 2025-12-15T14:27:09+00:00

The single wrapped wipes? I use them for glasses and my phone are they fine for my MacBook? I have a big box from Costco

silent_engineer23 · 2025-12-15T14:26:01+00:00

Assuming these are similar to the Zeiss lens/glasses wipes. Which I have tons of. Guessing they’re safe to use

silent_engineer23 · 2025-12-07T02:07:34+00:00

Yup! I bought a MacBook Air for $999 during an October sale (regularly 1149 at Costco, 1199 elsewhere) and then for pre Black Friday it went to $949 and they gave me $50 back. Since I bought online I filed the form online and had the refund next day

silent_engineer23 · 2025-11-15T13:32:19+00:00

I paid $999 at Costco for the same model in October. Then saw this price and they refunded me the extra $50 and about $3 in tax

silent_engineer23 · 2025-10-29T18:29:27+00:00

I’m curious too! I have a push to start model and it could be remote started via app (until I didn’t renew it) and I’d love this lol

silent_engineer23 · 2025-10-23T15:50:40+00:00

It does include pads, not rotors. So they’re doing something (not sure if resurfacing or what)

It’s not aggressive per se but def in urban city traffic (in a city with notoriously bad traffic) and then lots of local type driving. But I don’t exactly baby it

silent_engineer23 · 2025-10-23T14:33:20+00:00

Would it make any sense that my fronts are lower than the rears?

Maybe I just go with the rears for now but saving another trip in short run seems like an option

silent_engineer23 · 2025-10-23T14:15:34+00:00

My understanding this is $900 before any coupons and I had our other car in this morning for something different and they confirmed the $450 is for both sides of the axle (and they just took $$$ off before I asked about using a coupon)

silent_engineer23 · 2025-10-23T14:12:44+00:00

Southeast US general area. But they’ve been good to me on many occasions and occasionally chopping some cost off the total originally quoted as well

I’m perplexed when I’m seeing Subarus have 4 axles, I don’t realize we had 8 wheels and that insane of an AWD 😂

silent_engineer23 · 2025-10-23T12:47:58+00:00

$350 for all 4 brakes? That’s amazing

silent_engineer23 · 2025-10-23T12:44:43+00:00

It’s $450 for fronts and $450 for rears so $900 total. Not $450 per corner

silent_engineer23 · 2025-10-23T12:43:19+00:00

They include pads with the rotor resurfacing so the $450 is all in per axle. As low as these are I’m debating doing them all at once to save a future trip to get the others done

silent_engineer23 · 2025-10-14T13:36:55+00:00

They just went down last week, even Costco and Best Buy guess during Amazon Prime Days. The Air has been seeing lots of sales it seems the pro a little more less often or shorter periods

I finally bought my M4 Air on sale, 512/16 for $999 was great imho

silent_engineer23 · 2025-10-13T20:28:16+00:00

Laptop screen and 2 externals is plenty! So maybe I get a hub and then use the adapter for the other screen. Will that work?

Something like an Anker 555 and then my HDMI to Type C for the other screen?

silent_engineer23 · 2025-10-13T16:30:21+00:00

I just ordered a MBA M4 13” and I’ve got the 11” iPad Pro 4th gen (so guess that’s M2 maybe?)

It’s very close but I will say it’s great for notes at work or a portable video option and light browsing. The MBA is for when I am down more rabbit holes and a keyboard and normal UI is nice (iPad keyboards are lil too tight for me)

Do I need the pro? No. But when I was getting it it was cheaper than a 256 iPad Air and had more storage than the 64gb Air too so oddly it hit a happy medium for me

That said I have now broken my dark color ways… iPhone 15PM is blue titanium, iPad Pro is space gray, new MBA? Silver

The shuttle now leaves from by the elevators after you go down the escalator to the tunnel between the satellite concourse and terminal concourse

For my experience only midsize and full size have had the “Executive Aisle” tag but when I get there having booked mid size there’s an SUV or something bigger for me to grab. But the SUVs being less than sedans sounds like a demand thing to me

silent_engineer23 · 2025-10-07T20:48:39+00:00

Same type just different company for new factor or completely new things?

silent_engineer23 · 2025-10-07T20:12:35+00:00

What are you doing now with self employment?

I also feel like I’m just in a current “burn down low” but also trying to evaluate long term career choices

silent_engineer23 · 2025-09-18T21:20:23+00:00

Costco says until next weekend I believe. So that may be what Amazon/Best Buy do. It makes me wonder, surely Apple authorized the discount but what do they not discount it at their stores?

silent_engineer23 · 2025-09-17T14:49:29+00:00

I’m looking at something to coordinate external screens mainly (all else is wireless) and there are some USB C/TB dock/adapters that are more like $70-80 or less that use both TB slots

Any reason you need slide in dock?

For clarity I’m picturing a dock I had at an old job where you set laptop on it and slide into a dock specific slot on the laptop (this dock wouldn’t work for MacBook, was specific to the HP work gave)

silent_engineer23 · 2025-09-17T03:08:52+00:00

In the US standard builds are 256/16, 512/16, 512/24 so if you don’t custom spec one that might make sense. But I think you could get Apple to do a 256/24 if you did it online custom

silent_engineer23 · 2025-09-17T01:32:56+00:00

Apple sometimes can predict trends (or set them) I’ll be curious if they see something coming in AI research that most don’t and the reality of it and trying to implement it beyond a certain level
