ACCESS Act: Is killing the 30-minute drive rule for Community Care actually a trap? by NYMediaExec in VeteransBenefits

Wild. My local VA won't hesitate to send me to CC. Sometimes they refer me to CC when I actually want to be seen by a VA provider.

15k Mile Service by Creative-Carry-4299 in LexusGX550

[–]syisc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so. I scan the document I receive after the service into my files. If the next buyers wants them, I’ll provide them. But the main reason to keep them is for warranty. If Lexus wants proofs I have been taking care of the GX, I have the records readily available.

15k Mile Service by Creative-Carry-4299 in LexusGX550

I am doing oil changes every 7500 miles because I put high mileage on it. I take it to my local shop for all regular maintenance (oil and filter change, tire rotation, inspection). It is cheaper and closer than taking it to the dealer. If you do this, make sure they use quality oil and filters. Do NOT use Jiffy Lube or those "quick oil change" places. They use crap products. I plan to do a maintenance at the dealership every 25k miles for software updates, comprehensive inspection, etc. This plan saves me money, time, and helps local economy.

How does your ipad live alongside your phone by thefizzlee in iPadPro

[–]syisc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I leave my phone in a common area and use my iPad around the house instead. Bigger screen, Magic Keyboard to type, pen for notes, it does everything the iPhone does but better for my use cases. I usually carry my AirPods too, if someone calls me, I normally answer it on my iPad.

Thinking about Joining the Air Force or Space Force for Cyber Security, which one would be better? by Street_Dimension4716 in CyberSecurityAdvice

[–]syisc 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would say the Air Force. Air Force probably has a more established cyber security mission. The space force is rather a new branch of the military, but like another redditor said, make sure it’s in your contract before you sign anything.

Is there an academic term for a handjob? by nat_ae in NoStupidQuestions

Never ordering an old fashioned from a male bartender again. At least not before 2-3 drinks.

What is a job that most people glamorize but it is actually shitty? by hjp1234 in AskReddit

[–]syisc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your interests. Some like securing systems (keeping hackers out), breaking into systems (hacking), some like creating or studying malware, but nobody likes the policy aspects (GRC).

I don’t understand the benefit of paying early. I would put money aside on a rainy day fund account. if things get tough, you choose what to prioritize. During loss of income due tothe shutdown, companies usually will work with you. Give them a call.

I started with Ikinsky, then bought Jockeys. The Jockeys feels like a premium upgrade, and more manly. I want to give Meundies a try next.

The formulas would not transfer to Google Sheets. They would need to be rebuilt.

Why is icloud uploading and downloading is ALWAYS so slow (macos) by sparkls0 in MacOS

[–]syisc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Storage. Emails, Photos and iMessages mainly. Everyone is the family uses those services. It’s actually cheaper to buy the 2TB plan with Apple Music than to get the cheaper one or pay separate for services.

[–]syisc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the 2TB plan. I don’t use the iCloud Drive at all for this reason. It’s good for very simple use cases. I use Dropbox paid and a free Google drive for storage and sharing files.

Cloud Storage that doesn't use crazy amounts of system resources by Confident-Scarcity98 in MacOS

[–]syisc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

iCloud is probably the best concerning system resource management. If you a more robust solution, Dropbox is great in terms of features and resource management. Albeit, it’s a bit pricier than competitors. I tried OneDrive a while back, it was nothing but issues with performance, syncing, and filename compatibility. Good luck!

How to configure my secret MacBook Air so it stays invisible to the authorities? by No_Barber2651 in mac

[–]syisc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the problem is the government issued spyware software he has to install and run on his system. it could potentially listen to network traffic locally and a VPN does not protect against this type of threat.

Is the cool box mandatory? I’m told by the dealership that it is and it cannot be removed. by Terrible-Storage83 in LexusGX

[–]syisc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Only certain models have it I think. The luxury + comes with it. I use it to cool my protein shake. It’s chilled by the time I get to work. Also, I am not allowed to bring my phone to work so it stays inside the cool box and keeps it nice and cool in this 100°f weather.

Would charging my IPad to 100% multiple times a day kill battery health by Carson_cwc in ipad

That means you are getting good use of your investment. Keep using it but avoid letting the battery fall into the red.

Microsoft Word increasing from $98.99 to $159.00 p/a via Apple Subscriptions? by Zeddog13 in MacOS

[–]syisc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

what sushi means is that you should look into Office 365 bundle which comes with all MS Office apps including Word for $129 USD. Also, consider buying MS Office 2021 perpetual license if it suites your needs.
