I called AppleCare for support on a problem and in the course of the discussion the tech told me that Apple recommends everyone shut down their Macs every night. She said it was the best way to prevent and resolve any issues with the computer.

Fun story, thank you. But please leave “latinx” to the list of words that Latinos don’t want to hear and don’t use. See the Pew Poll from 2019 - 97% of us don’t want it. It’s silly, offensive and racist to force terminology on people who don’t want it. It’s a misguided attempt to impose a gobbledygook word that isn’t

Couldn’t agree with you more and glad to read someone else shares my view. I’ve always detested McFarlane’s sophomoric humor and the TV shows he’s had till now. The Orville actually comes across as a new Star Trek and not just an homage. I’m enjoying it far more than I expected initially, when I thought I’d catch a

I’m sure you meant “nauseated,” not “nauseous.”

“Slower” is an adjective. You mean “more slowly.”

McSally just needs to be honest and admit that this is nothing but reelection porkbarrel pandering since the A-10 is based in her district. We don’t need the A-10 and if it weren’t in her district, she’d admit it. Truth is, we don’t need half the money wasted on the military budget. As Pres. Eisenhower said, every

I guess it all depends on where you live, which is what makes the free 2-week trial so genius. I have fantastic LTE coverage where I live and have NONE of the problems you’ve described. I had AT&T for years and switched; couldn’t be happier with T-Mobile.

Sounds great, but what about the issue of data caps that are now spreading amongst all internet providers. Comcast just informed me that it is imposing data caps on my broadband internet. I was very upset. I checked with other providers (CenturyLink, Cox, etc.) and all of them have data caps. It's not even possible to

Sounds great, but what about the issue of data caps that are now spreading amongst all internet providers. Comcast

To everyone thinking of using the home-office deduction, two things to keep in mind: (1) it is one of the top audit flags for the IRS and the IRS scrutinizes it very carefully for strict compliance; and (2) it reduces the tax basis of your home.

What people don't recognize is that the things that supposedly make Portland such a paradise for everyone (new urbanist housing and development models; multimodal transportation for bikes, cars, pogo sticks; food variety and choices; environmental and renewables focus; etc.) are mostly designed to cater to the needs

"'Mexica' is not a tribe," says Ray Ramirez of the Native American Rights Fund. Dead wrong. We grew up in AZ with friends who are Mexica Indians from the state of Guerrero in Mexico. They speak Nahuatl and that is what the call themselves. They are Indians. Ramirez is just wrong.

In American English setting, how do you get Siri to spell out the word "period," rather than insert the punctuation mark? I can't figure that out.

Why so heterosexist? Guys also love Charlie Day. I find him super hot and would love to make out with him!

Why do you think Portland is cooler than this? It's run by a crowd of PC ivory-tower limousine liberals who can think of nothing other than ways to waste the public's money, over and over again. I say this as someone who has lived there for 18 years!

What's the best (and safest) way to clean the baked on gunk on stove tops and burner covers? I want to clean it so it's shiny white and new looking again.

My credit union recently upgraded their iOS app so it now allows you to take a picture of a check and have it deposited online without ever having to go to the teller. It's awesome.

Chase poses a major moral dilemma for me. They regularly use your money to wage war against consumers. The foreclosure mess is only the latest example and won't be the last one. Why give a penny to the big banks? They don't use it to help anyone except their executive and top shareholders? It's your money. Don't give

But isn't it true that iPhoto can only maintain its library on a drive that's HFS+ formatted? That's the main reason I keep using it. I'd love to hear what others know about this.

When will all writers remember that "quote" is a verb, not a noun. The word that should be used here is "quotations."

Looks absolutely dreadful. Has nothing in common with ancient Greece and Persia except the names.
