While we were off on vacation this summer, evidently Dropbox changed their client and it caused all kinds of problems for people. Earlier in the year, they changed their policies on the free accounts which caused people to lose their ever-loving minds.

A Unique View on the 2019 16″ MacBook Pro
8-Core i9, 64GB RAM, 4TB Disk I’d like to tell you about the new 16″ MacBook Pro in a way that doesn’t repeat what everyone else has had to say already. I think I have a way to connect the dots between the new MacBook Pro and the tour we had of SpaceX. We’ll get […]
