    iPad Pro USB-C Port Replacement

    I went to the Apple store in the Carnegie Library in DC (see my post in the Ask an Airline Pilot thread in TBLTS) and they wouldn't budge. Thanks for the Magic Keyboard idea which may solve the problem for far less than Apple wants. SoSH comes through again!

    iPad Pro USB-C Port Replacement

    I have a 2020 iPad Pro 12.9" The USB-C power port was replaced last January and AppleCare covered the cost (minus the deductible). The port failed again and my AppleCare coverage has expired. Apple wants around $700 to repair it and at that price I'd just get a new iPad. Are there any other...

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    I live in PA and subscribed to YTTV using a friend's address in Boston, and switched to Fubo last month. A big difference between YTTV and Fubo - when I had YTTV as long as each month someone logged in to my account from Boston, my devices anywhere in the country could receive NESN. Fubo...

    Recommend me a 55-65 inch TV

    I have a 77" CX and I'm very happy with it. Some of the best advice I got was to not run all the test patterns out there and to sit back and enjoy the screen. Once you see an issue you can't unsee it and your eye keeps looking for it. No panel is perfect, so don't go looking for trouble.

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    As a followup to this post, personalVPN wasn't the answer. Google Chrome continues to report my actual physical location. I've tried setting a Boston location in Developer Tools and also tried using the Location Guard extension but Chrome somehow defeats them. Any other suggestions?

    iPhone 12

    I'm rarely out without my phone so for me it's not worth the extra expense for the cellular version of the watch plus the $10/month. YMMV.

    iPhone 12

    For an average size guy go for the 44mm. It's much easier to read and doesn't look oversize on your wrist.

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    Thanks for the tip about personalVPN - SoSH to the rescue again! It seems to be working, YTTV didn't detect it - when it's disconnected I see my local PA networks and Boston networks when it's connected. YouTube TV requires a login every 90 days in general but every 30 days for NESN and NBC...

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    Has anyone been able to get YouTube TV to work with a VPN? I'm in PA but use a Boston address to get NESN and NBC Sports Boston as my local sports networks. Problem is, I need to be logged in from the Boston area every 30 days to keep viewing them and the person I've had signing in for me isn't...

    Recommend me a 55-65 inch TV

    Any suggestions for a 70-75" 4K TV in the $1.5-2K range? I'm looking to upgrade from a 10 year old 67" Samsung LED which has developed an irritating habit of shutting itself off and restarting every 30 minutes or so.
