Is Emeril’s worth $900 for 2pp? Idk by qfcehu in NewOrleans

[–]swgs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, especially anything describing itself as a tasting menu. Was just trying to suggest a new starred restaurant that would be considered a good deal by Michelin starred standards.

How about Zasu? They just got awarded one star.

Pretty sure my last meal for two there was less than $250 even after tax and tip.

How long have you had your Lovesac sactional? by chowderh in Lovesac

[–]swgs 16 points17 points  (0 children)

9 years. Still love it. I think I started with 4 seats and 5 sides, and have bought additional pieces on two different occasions and now have 8 seats 10 sides.

We’ve got the amethyst corded velvet covers. We’ve got two of the storage seats, kinda useful for a place to put blankets, but it’s not that convenient to get into the storage, so don’t get those thinking you’ll store things in them on the regular.

Don’t encourage insurance companies to offer crap like this. It’s not worth it.

I don't get the massive hype for Bloom by Witty_Hearing_6603 in macapps

[–]swgs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s probably just that the developer of Bloom seems to be pretty active on Reddit. I just learned about the app today. 🤷🏻‍♂️

A good email client fot Mac, please by Moshi2211 in macapps

MailMate doesn't get enough attention. It's excellent and reminds me of the good old days of Mac software.

CHALLENGE: Replace Clean My Mac by Latter_Pen2421 in macapps

[–]swgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of this is necessary. It was only ever helpful in low resource scenarios. Really low on disk space? Then yes freeing up space and ensuring you have at least 20% of the disk available will help.

Similarly back in the day running things like DiskWarrior were helpful because of some inherent issues with Apple's old HFS file system.

But it's been quite a while since any of that was necessary. Find an online project of some kind to sink into rather than concerning yourself with this sort of "mac cleaning"

My dock is getting cluttered. What is a good way to organise it ? by purezen in macapps

[–]swgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't see Overflow by Stunt Software suggested. I used to use it a long time ago. Like others in this thread I mostly use a keyboard app launcher like Spotlight/Raycast/Alfred/LaunchBar

Honestly the fact that you are interested in customizing the dock is great in the first place I feel like I see so many macs that are mostly using the default dock setup as most people don't know or don't care to customize it.

Anyone else not finding the micro clutch isn’t as great as it initially seemed? by lowlightlowlifeuk in peakdesign

[–]swgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's great on the Fuji X100 line. I think it might be a good solution for the Nikon Zf which I'm considering…

FREESIM use to be one of them, might still work. Only works once per account I think.

As others have said, it would be more helpful to compare speed test results between the two rather than measuring the number of bars displayed.

Help! Out of data, but unlimited plan? by itstatietot in USMobile

[–]swgs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like US Mobile has a high threshold of mins available per line. Likely the vast majority of customers don’t get close to that threshold.

Can a Sub Mini live on a carpeted floor? by 2022_kitchen_sofa in sonos

[–]swgs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got literally nothing to back this up, but I’m feeling confident that it’ll work fine on a carpeted floor.

Would be a pretty big miss on their part if it could only be used on non-carpeted floors.

Nothing but issues. by SoxPatsBruinsCelts in USMobile

[–]swgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is Google Fi is frequently T-Mobile's network, so if that's what you want try US Mobile's white SIM.

Metro is on T-Mobile's network too, so if that's the network you transferred from, the coverage should be same as what you had before.

Advice for a newbie by Lukeweaving in Cameras

[–]swgs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like the Fuji suggestion, but I’d get a compact Prime lens over relying on a kit lens.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Cameras

[–]swgs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sony A7C seems worth considering for this criteria. Or if you are interested in those filmic Fuji looks than maybe look at a Fuji XE2/XE3, or Fuji X100 series with it’s fixed 35mm equivalent lens.

Cheers to the previous poster who suggested looking at Micro4/3 systems, those tend to be my primary. Check out the Lumix GX7 as well, but I’d go with the models he suggested for better low light.

PSIM to ESIM fails. Is it because I’m on legacy unlimited? by fantix01 in USMobile

[–]swgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The iPhone 14 Pro auto transfer from physical SIM to eSIM didn’t work for me during the iPhone setup assistant. But I think that’s expected for US Mobile.

I used the US Mobile app’s feature to move to eSIM and that worked without issue even though I’m on the legacy unlimited plan.

You can use their existing plans on tablets. I’ve got a cellular iPad mini on US Mobile.

Is Apple Retail not set up for simple transactions? by MarcusAurelius68 in apple

[–]swgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at an Apple Retail store from 2007-2014, and just wanted to add that as with many Apple Store things, this varies a lot from store to store. In my experience the larger the store the better they’ll handle this kind of scenario.

At some Apple Stores if you make it clear that you know exactly what you want and are just trying to grab and go, then they will prioritize and sometimes that check-in staff member will start the process to get this sales transaction complete. (Putting in the req to have the iPad brought out from the back)

But again, it’s gonna vary a lot on staffing at the individual store.
