I don¡¯t blame you Harry. Not much goes on in my life but I go all out on tech stuff.

?Hi John,
I looked up AudioQuest Chocolate HDMI cables on Amazon and oh boy are they expensive. They might be worth it but I can¡¯t justify it. BTW there were no AudioQuest Chocolate cable but there were Cinnamon, Vodka, Forest, Pearl, Thunderbird, Blueberry, and Carbon HDMI cables. 2-3 foot cables were anywhere from $29.95 to $199.95 depending on the flavor you bought.

I realize you get what you pay for but in the 5-10 years that HDMI cables have been the standard I have bought $10 cables and have only had to replace 1 so I will stay with what I have.

Thanks.

Harry,

Beth may have found your answer but I want to tell you my experience. When we built our home I had purchased Monster HDMI cables thinking they were great. The quality of the video wasn¡¯t that good so I purchased AudioQuest Chocolate & boy are they great, I now only use that brand for any HMDI needs, TV¡¯s & Computer.

Re: Is it okay to update to the new Mac operating system Sequoia 15.3.1 ?

 

Jane,
I assume it¡¯s okay but I haven¡¯t done so. Apple is moving to make its OS similar to its iOS and I positively hate what they have done with the iOS. For example, they add my reminders to my calendar which annoys me greatly and there is no way to turn that off.

As long as apple continues to up date iOS 14 I will not update to iOS 15.

A sensor just went out on my Prius and needed to be replaced. The sensors have batteries. The battery in one of the four sensors was dead, and the batteries can¡¯t be replaced, so the whole sensor had to go. I found this Web page informative.

It cost me $93 for the sensor and programming at Big-O Tires. I replaced a tire at the same time.

They certainly don¡¯t communicate with the car using Bluetooth because Bluetooth uses frequencies around 2.4 GHz and the sensors are down around 400 MHz.

Harry,

Don¡¯t believe a word of it. There¡¯s actually a little guy with a pressure gauge who lives in the rim of your tire (well, actually four of them since you have four tires). They monitor the tire pressure every 10 seconds ¡ª it¡¯s a thankless job ¡ª and report any anomalies to the slightly bigger guy who lives behind your dashboard, who activates a warning message if he thinks it¡¯s warranted.

The reason the tires are so expensive to replace is that they have to pay a rather exorbitant severance fee to each little guy that gets displaced when the new tire is installed. To make matters worse they have a DEI policy that forces them to hire some guagers that aren¡¯t always the most competent. But that¡¯s another story, and I¡¯m pretty sure President Trusk is going to take care of it soon.

Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) that use valve stems to read tire pressure work by incorporating wireless sensors within the valve stem itself (or very close to it, attached to the base). These sensors measure the tire pressure and transmit this information wirelessly to a receiver in your vehicle, which then alerts you through a dashboard light if the pressure is low.

Re: Managing email folders

 

At least the advantage of old moldering email over paper mail is that it doesn't take up any real space and it is so nicely dated that ditching everything over x years old is simple and needs no shredder.
