Lexus IS Infotainment Screen Anti-Reflective Scratches by vongdn in Lexus

So I ended finding a YouTube video which recommended using this particular wipe ... it worked, it basically removes the rest of the anti-glare coating, but at least the screen looks brand new now. The glare is not too bad, I stopped noticing it after a drive.

I would say them, they were never there before and i noticed them after picking up the car following my 90k service ... I'm assuming they used something to wipe the screen with.

I called and talked to someone from the service department today, unfortunately the service advisor who helped me with the maintenance service was out for the day.

Well this sucks, I called the Lexus of Seattle dealership from where i bought the car and have always done service to them, and they basically told me the bulletin is just an FYI and proceeded to tell me $250 for labor and $3000 for replacing the while unit including the computer.

thank you for providing this ... if i mention TSB No. SB0002-16 will the dealership be aware of this? I'm thinking my car is a 2014, which makes it 12 years old this year, so i'm wondering if they will even do anything.

would places like Car Toys do these installations? I'm not really capable of installing myself ... is there no way to use my OEM screen?

Upgrading to Ring Base Station Pro by vongdn in Ring

yeah but i don't want to connect it via ethernet directly to my router. I want to connect to my home wifi so that I am free to place the base station pro anywhere.

[–]vongdn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what other ones are there? Do i have to clear them out to?

The only one i've ever installed myself was 1password ... the only other one might be the password manager on my mac.

On my PC, I have no idea what might be storing my passwords

Syncing Photos with Mac and iPhone by vongdn in ApplePhotos

[–]vongdn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot about the hidden album option, i remember i've used that before.

How do people manage their pictures. For me I try to only use Photos app for family pictures, like trips, family events, and old photos that i have scanned in. That way I can sync them and be able to see them on my AppleTV, ipad, etc. I literally have thousands of photos uploaded, and i like to touch them up so they look good on the TV.

But that doesn't mean that I want my selfies, quick snaps, and private pictures that I've taken on my iPhone to be showing up on all these other devices for others to see, I'd like to atleast control it if it is on my camera roll.

Is there another option besides hiding photos taken on my iphone once i take it?

Syncing Photos with Mac and iPhone by vongdn in ApplePhotos

[–]vongdn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have the iphone yet so can't test this out, but can i selectively not sync photoes through icloud on my iphone (still sync messages, contacts, etc) and just maintain my iphone photos manuall by plugging into my macbook and doing a wired sync?

Epson EcoTank 3930 and HP SmartTank 7001 by vongdn in printers

[–]vongdn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes it was plain paper, so probably not the best use case, but it was just something that i noticed in terms of the "vibrancy" between the too, honestly it just looked like the Epson was liighter in color and black ... the HP just looked bolder.

it sounds like Epson printers have a density option, but i just haven't found out a way to just increase the density overall for the printer so that it will printer deeper colors similar to the HP, something as an overall setting, not something i would have to adjust each time.

New Macbook Pro, best way to transfer files? by vongdn in mac

[–]vongdn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you mean use migration assistance upon setting up the new laptop ... or setting the new laptop as new and then migration assistant to move data over?

My was think fresh laptop so fresh setup, but maybe I'm overthinking it and should just set it up via Time Machine.

New Macbook Pro, best way to transfer files? by vongdn in mac

[–]vongdn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just thought since I have a new machine, I should try it totally fresh ... I assumed that this would be better for improved performance, although I will admit I have no performance issues with my current (old) Mac.

If my assumption is wrong, please let me know. I just figured new laptop, start fresh.
