I have quite a few streaming apps but I’m analyzing what I really want to keep. I just dropped Motor trend + ($50/yr) because there’s not much more than Motortrend on YouTube TV. I picked up Hulu as an offer from Disney + but I won’t be renewing. Not much worthwhile there and the same goes for Peacock.

Missed trying to see the launch from the front door of my condo yesterday.

We love Subarus. Currently we have a 2018 Legacy and a 2023 Crosstrek Sport. Prior to that, in chronological order we had 1996 Jeep, 2002 Impreza Outback Sport, a 2011 Legacy, and a 2013 Impreza (a lemon.)
BTW our 1st Subaru (2002 Impreza) was better in the snow than the Jeep.

Think about watching and waiting.
Best time to buy a new “present year” car is when the next year models come out.
Also, if you have a good credit score, Watch for lower interest and other incentives, and wait till the feds drop the interest rates some more.

MOST IMPORTANT…buy with your brain, not your heart.
Good tactic, especially if the salesperson is pushy…don’t be afraid to walk away from the table or out the door.

I just did that twice to an old iPad for my friend but you do need the password for the existing Apple ID.
Perhaps if you went online and asked that same question you’d probably get more answer’s than you need.

I’ve been using YouTubeTV since 2020 and never looked back. I kept fighting with Optimum to lower my $325 bills, and telling them they are not seeing the handwriting on the wall, and that people are “cutting the cord” everyday.
I use YouTubeTV, in NY (9 months,) and FL, (3 months.) One price…$72/mo.
Recently, my son discovered that YouTubeTV allows family members to use my account even if they don’t live with me…No additional charges. YTTV only allows 2 moves per year but I think there are ways around that like “traveling.”
I pay the same price per month wether I’m in NY or FL so no need for a different Streaming service in each place.
You DO need Internet in either location and I recommend at least 200 MB/second (mbs?). In both locations I have my own modem & router. Renting a modem from your provider will cost you at least $10/month x 12 months=$120/year. Times that by 10 years and your paying $1200 for that modem.
I use Amazon Fire Stick TV on every Tv in both locations. DON’T BUY THE CHEAPEST ONE, as you’ll only be able to change the channels. A couple of bucks more and you’ll be able to turn your TV on and off and control the sound without using any other remotes.
Last thing. Fire Stick TV has it’s own programs but not network stations. That’s why you buy subscribe to YouTube TV or other streaming service that provides network stations. You can download numerous free “apps” that will provide a wide variety of programming and also download some of the major Network Apps, but programming may not be in real time/live.

Ditto!

My Son in Law, a college professor, makes hotplate/trivets out off wine corks and Masonite. Everyone who sees them wants them.
We were at an Italian restaurant and they had a map of Italy on a counter that was filled with resin.
Very creative uses for corks.

I’ve bought many products from a company called Anker. Highly rated. They sell charging cables, Q chargers, and many other items.
They’ve been sending me emails about their other products like Solar Generators in all sizes and configurations. Might want to take a look. They seem to be fairly portable.
Also, they’re not cheap but very practical. No fuel but the sun, and no moving parts. If I had the $$$ I’d sell my 950 watt gas generator and get one.

Very interesting!

My iPhone and Verizon divert calls form numbers not in my contact list to phone the answering function on the iPhone. Many of the spam calls try to fool you by using numbers from my Area Code, 917. Then i block all numbers from 917.
The biggest problem I have is dealing with calls from my medical group, Mt Sinai. Every office has numerous numbers which I have to add to a singular contact; MtSinai, so they get through.
I’m also on the national Do Not Call list which most spammers ignore.

WAZE offers several routes and shows advantages and disadvantages of each.

I used to have two Garmin GPS units until I started using WAZE. WAZE is always on in my cars as it tells me when there are problems on the road ahead among other things.
I almost never get lost anymore. WAZE does have a bit of a lag when providing the next instruction on my route but I can live with that.

I use Notes on my iPhone to keep my PWs and that’s secured with facial recognition or 6 digit PIN code.

I noticed that when I use a Private Mode in Firefox I had to go through a lot of hoops when logging into my “secure” sites like banking. Had to wait for the code every time I logged into my Chase account, then others started doing that.
I finally started using the “non-private” mode and most of that went away. I know I should use private mode but it IS a royal P.I.T.A.
On my iPhone, I usually just have to use facial recognition.
