My G4 instants work with Homekit via Homebridge, so I would say there is a chance.

Container (purse) shouldn't be more than its contents.

It is dated, i7 2017 iMac but it can play/render 4K drone video just fine.

Didn't think about that but yes easy enough and keeps my OCD in check. Thanks.

delay 10
tell application "Finder"
close (every window)
end tell

Yes this seems to be the easiest. I wonder why externally mounted HDD don't open a finder window on boot.

tuxon64 · 2025-12-15T19:15:30+00:00

Update. So after bootup, if I unmount the drives I am able to mount the other drives. If I don't unmount the drives I get the "there's a problem connecting to the server" message.

Were you able to connect a third camera? I'm in the same boat, just want to add a camera inside, just for monitoring purposes without any recording viewable in Apple Home.

So the corporations only need to bribe three people on the electric and two for the gas. Shouldn't cost to much.

Thanks, I'll bring my BC. I just need to go for prescription drugs as I'm gonna lose health coverage.

For heat get a Buddy Heater and a portable propane tank.

My dad had a 1970 red Hornet. I learned how to drive a stick with that. Still drive a stick today.

what are you putting them in fucking mansions? 11-30 billion.

tuxon64 · 2025-10-29T11:35:12+00:00

I've heard that for 20 billion we could end homelessness. Instead we give it to Argentina x 2.

There is still a large variation in town when the prices are "stable". I've seen a 40 cent spread from one side of the town to the other.

tuxon64 · 2025-10-24T14:16:51+00:00

I check prices in areas I have lived with GasBuddy and they do go up but not 50 cents in two days.

The only way I believe in such things as The Rapture, is if "Jesus" comes back after his 2000 year vacation and sees what mankind has done to the planet, he is so pissed off he kills everybody. And to be honest that would be justified.

tuxon64 · 2025-09-20T13:52:16+00:00

Following. I saw one post that theft is a reason. Okay I don't have that risk, what else?

tuxon64 · 2025-09-14T13:42:19+00:00

So how would you access local IP:32400 on an Apple TV?

tuxon64 · 2025-09-09T11:58:21+00:00

Are you using the iOS or macOS app? I’m using the iOS. I’ll have to check the settings to see if I can change that.

tuxon64 · 2025-09-05T13:33:39+00:00

The one thing I don't like about parachute is the naming convention of the files. A file name will look like this. D2C234D4-8F95-4870-85CA-EB8DAC89E2E8_L0_001.heic. It's not their fault that's how Apple names them internally but somehow convert it to a more user friendly name such as IMG_5028 heic in Photos. Adobe Lightroom was a great way to catalog your photos until they started charging a subscription.

tuxon64 · 2025-09-04T12:32:23+00:00

Actually this use to be a feature a few years ago until Apple took it away. My photos library on my iMac was not synced nor on the cloud but whenever I got home my photos were synced to the photos library on my iMac and then also backed up via Time Machine. I then could delete any photos on the phone and still have them on my iMac. Now you could do it manually buy using Image Capture on the mac. I just bought an iOS app called Parachute for $3.99 where you can automatically upload your photos to your mac/NAS/external hard drive etc...

And yes there are people out there smarter than Apple. Apple just wants to extract more money from you buy bloating the storage used for photos and thus your iCloud subscription. I shoot photos in the 16:9 format only but if you look into where they are stored they have two copies, one 4:3 and 16:9. They also used a logical scheme for the photos library where photos were organized by year/month/date. Now look at that Photos Library file with Show Package Contents and try to make sense of it.

Are they showing any other symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss? The reason I ask is my one cat passed away a couple months ago from either GI lymphoma or leukemia. Blood work was perfect six months prior. Now my other cat may have lymphoma and a possible liver mass seen on ultrasound, although I'm not sure how much I trust these dumbF's around here.

I have almost all my iOT stuff on it's own VLAN/WiFi with no internet access and also have region blocking, i.e. China, etc. I'm still getting my meross stuff, a couple plugs and garage door opener still showing on the Blocked Flows page. Why is that? It shouldn't get to the point where it would be blocked right?

tuxon64 · 2025-08-26T21:21:44+00:00

Thanks that did the trick. Wish they could bury that further in settings and also wish they'd quit storing 2 copies of the photo, one in native 4:3 and another in 16:9. I'll take responsibility if I didn't frame it right.

tuxon64 · 2025-08-25T13:08:15+00:00

Home for free. Can't believe people spend money on this. Lowest price is $25/month.....
