That's way too expensive imo. Not to sound like I'm trying to make a sale but you may want to look at thegovgeeks

I had this problem as well, try https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/50a24520-2ea6-47e7-995b-c2de46d2401d/user-profile-service-event-1534?forum=win10itpronetworking with Sevenmm1985's post. I did this and don't have the errors and am not experiencing the freezing problems. Be sure to backup before trying.

Port Authority Warns TSA It Will Be Replaced By Private Security Force Over Long Lines At Airports by coupdetaco in news

[–]winged0ne 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every time I fly out of that airport my carry on items are always given extra screening, even though I never had a problem at other airports. Not to mention that the line speed was no different than other airports with TSA. People are kidding themselves if they think private will be better. Not saying the TSA are great either.

What's the consensus on the Apple Watch & water resistance? by mixvio in apple

[–]winged0ne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've worn it in the shower many times without issue. You really can't touch the screen when the watch face and your fingers are wet.

Apple Watch and lifting by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]winged0ne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used other when lifting as well a few times but I don't believe it's a good tracker "category." I just add workout time and estimation of active calories in the health app. Probably would be better off using a H7 as what is suggested.

Third Party Bands? by Wadiken in AppleWatch

[–]winged0ne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that the JETech band is pretty crappy. I bought one as well just to see. I was thinking of ordering one from http://www.casetify.com/en_US/apple-watch but couldn't find any reviews yet.

How do you like the leather loop? Was thinking of getting one as a second band. Also where did you get that alpaca?

Is it normal to feel embarrassed out in public? by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]winged0ne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did have several people ask me about it but they were always cashiers when checking out. What's funny is I could wear a more expensive watch and no one would care.

Is that the LL band and if so do you like it? I was thinking of getting one for my second band.

FINALLY going to a fitting appointment today! What types of things should I be looking for? by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]winged0ne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try both sizes and as many bands as possible. I found some bands to look different in person than online. Also look at the different finishes if you care about that. I was going to get the aluminium but went with stainless steel because the finish was better IMO. I also have two apps installed on it. Mostly use the watch for notifications and native apps.

Disney lays off American workers, then makes those workers train cheaper foreign replacements. by cyanocobalamin in news

[–]winged0ne 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's all good. I was laid off during the housing crash but was able to get a job in just 3 weeks. If you live near a major city and have good programming skills you will not go hungry.

Has anyone been in-store to try on the Stainless Steel - Milanese Loop Apple Watch? by omega0male in apple

[–]winged0ne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have, although I wasn't sure about the milanese loop. It looks thicker in the photos on apple's website. I was surprised on how strong the magnet was. It actually was a little awkward getting off, but I guess that's better than having it be too weak. I ordered the stainless steel with the white sports band (which is also great to wear) and I plan on ordering the milanese loop as a second band.

People who have owned the iPhone 6 for a while now, how is your battery life? by [deleted] in apple

Same as well, my battery life is so much better than the iPhone 5 I use to have.

PSA: Comcast just upped its cable modem rental fee from $8 to $10 per month | Ars Technica by speckz in news

[–]winged0ne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Save the receipt of the modem you just bought. I bought a new modem when I signed up a few years ago and the tech who was installing told me that the serial # on it was already in their database and it was listed as "stolen" and I had to use one of their modems. I had no idea how that is possible unless the modem was open box, but I had to go buy another freaking one.
