    WWDC 2021 virtual again, June

    I hear you. I bought a cellular enabled watch 2.5 years ago for my mom because it afforded me some peace of mind with the fall detection feature. Additionally, I though she would find the heart rate features useful. But ultimately, after less than a month she gave it back to me. She couldn't get...

    Not cool, Apple: (aka: both my Macs slowed to a crawl...and apparently I wasn't the only one)

    Affected our organization in a big way. Help desk was flooded with calls until we were able to push out a temp workaround. Not a banner day, Apple.

    Ugh... Missing workout routes? Erase your phone and watch

    Interesting. I was already on iOS 14.0.1 and my Watch updated to 7.0.1 overnight. Took a mile long walk this morning and used Outdoor Walk on the Watch...still no route showing in the Fitness map on my iPhone afterward.

    One big annoyance in iOS 14 (for now) is that if you use an Apple Watch, the Fitness app is no longer displaying routing information on the map for walks, runs, etc that you have done. It only displays a pin drop for the starting location.

    How are you dealing with life now with the Covid-19 virus situation?

    Geez, it takes a pandemic to bring me back to the forum?? :wave-hello: It's hard staying upbeat during an elongated period of self-quarantine, seeing nothing but bad news and worrying about family, friends and colleagues. But I remember coming here on and in the days and weeks following 9/11...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    Overall I thought it was okay. There was a scene at the end that seemed so out of place, I can only assume the writers just wanted to pander to the faithful.

    A Quiet Place (2018)

    Loved the movie, even with a few warts. One thing I haven't seen mentioned (or missed) in the thread...How did they silently plant all that corn? :D

    Sam, if the Platinum was out when you picked up yours, would you have bought it? I get the extra few minutes' flight time and quieter operation, but right now the standard Mavic Pro is $200 less. Not sure if that extra flight time and fewer decibels are worth 200 bucks.

    What's that sound inside my wall?

    Ha...no graveyards (ancient or otherwise) within a few miles!

    What's that sound inside my wall?

    I've had a weird problem going on for a month or two now. I'll be home watching TV or reading and all of a sudden, I hear a single loud knock from inside my living room wall. Not scratching, just a knock...as if someone punched the inside the wall with a fist or rubber mallet. Usually I'll only...

    Holy crap...the image stabilization on that is great.

    You must read what Best Buy talks people into paying for 4k HDMI Cable.....

    Not at all surprised that BB was charging that much for an HDMI cable as one of my co-workers got soaked by them a few years ago by paying $150 for one. When I got my OLED from them two weeks ago and set up the install, I was prepared..."Do you have HDMI cables rated for in wall use?" I answered...

    LG Slashes all 4K OLED TV Prices

    If I buy one of these sets, do I need to have it calibrated or are they pretty accurate out of the box?
