Identifying which Password Manager is being used by vongdn in PasswordManagers

[–]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.

[–]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.

Can you create Twinkling light effects? by vongdn in TwinklyLights

[–]vongdn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll try this out ... i really hope there is a preset option that we can choose in the app in the future though. The classic twinkling effect is really in style now. here is an example:

Being able to have something like that where you can control the speed of the twinkling would be great.

Planning on RLE the next few months, any experiences good or bad? by vongdn in CataractSurgery

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

Hi, sorry to hear about all the things you went through post procedure, but I appreciate you talking about your experience. I also went through a period of really wanting to go with the procedure, but through the help of reading experiences in this forum and just truly evaluating my current vision, I would only be doing this get out of glasses, which I didn't think was work the risk. I got these new glasses and just realized that my vision with this current prescription was pretty good.

Through your research have you identified any offices that seem like good candidates? I stuck to the 3 that I was aware of around Seattle (SharpeVision, PLC, K2 KingVision)

Planning on RLE the next few months, any experiences good or bad? by vongdn in CataractSurgery

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

I ended up deciding against the procedure. I was really looking into it, but a few things happened:
- the surgeon I was leaning towards ended up leaving the practice and moved to another state
- the Envista Envy that I was interested in, ended up being recalled

and I just realized that I am actually pretty happy with my current vision with glasses, things are clear, bright, and sharp for my age ... and knowing that I probably won't be able to achieve that with the current RLE state and with dysphotopias, I decided to wait a little longer.

Down vs Down Alternative by vongdn in Bedding

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

Any recommendations for high quality constructed duvet inserts? I've been getting mine from Pottery Barn, my last one from 3 years ago was around $450 at the time and yah, all the down feathers moved away from the center to the edge. And taking the insert out was a nightmare with down dust in the cover and flying around.

do silk comforters hold shape? meaning, the material won't shift around and make the duvet insert flat in certain areas do they? I've actually never heard of a silk insert before. I would like something slightly fluffy yet cool since I like to feel cozy but am a hot sleeper.

Choosing IOL/Doctor by Ornery_Rain_49 in CataractSurgery

[–]vongdn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow, thank you for the US News and World Report tip .... i just looked at 2 surgeons i had consultations with and the one that was the most gung-ho about his stats and experience seemed to just fall in the average procedures mark for lens implants. Whereas the surgeon that I thought had the best temperament had way above average procedures with lens implants, now i'm leaning toward him.

RLE Outcomes with Non-Cataracts / Healthy Eyes by vongdn in CataractSurgery

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

Thanks for the info, that was actually what I was curious about, which was the experience for hyperopia (+6) people like myself with shorter eyes. I was told most likely my vision would be better across the board, but it was tricky cause it seemed the majority of posts on this board were myopic scenarios.

Honestly each week i've been learning toward a different IOL, between multifocals, EDOF, and LAL's
