Manage Your Apps and Save Battery with App Tamer

One of the coolest things about being a Mac owner is how long your computer will remain useful. I hear stories about people using Core 2 Duo machines that are 12 years old! I’m not a big fan of recommending letting a Mac that’s not able to run a currently supported operating system get on […]

Apple Watch Series 5 and the Phone Call of Sadness™

Lately, Steve and I have started upgrading our phones and watches every single year. I’m starting to seriously question this strategy. While we can afford to do this, and it’s great fun, in two cases I don’t think we’ve gotten our money’s worth. Last year we promised the kids that we’d flow down our iPhones […]

GOSPACE Supercharger — A Battery and Charger in One

GOSPACE Supercharger Wall Charger/Battery I’m going to do something I don’t think I’ve done before, and that’s review a piece of hardware that I don’t own. On Friday night my buddy Ron brought over something I got to play with and I was really intrigued. He bought the GOSPACE Supercharger from getgospace.com. The GOSPACE […]

Tiny Tip – Best Buy for Apple Battery Replacement

If you’re like me, and procrastinated till the very end of Apple’s $29 battery replacement program, you might still be able to get it done before the deal disappears at the end of 2018. I procrastinated because the phones weren’t in really bad shape, they were all around 89% health. I finally decided to go […]

Warning, you’ll learn about Watts Law and other terms so it’s a bit of a propeller beanie episode, but in the end you’ll have the skills to decide which battery is right for you. We […]

Jackery & RAVPower Batteries Will Charge Your Laptop

Before learning about these two batteries, I highly recommend you read my previous article Can A Portable Battery Charge a Large Laptop?. In this article, I run through the math on how to figure out if one of these chargers will work for you. This background will be important as you judge these two batteries […]

Charge Your Apple Watch and Phone with Belkin Valet Power Pack

When Steve and I were retiring, many people asked us if we were going to travel. I said, “no plans at all to travel.” Evidently I was wrong! It seems we travel an awful lot these days, to both foreign lands and locally to go see the grandson. I’ve gotten so that I can pack […]

Time to Contact Craig Federighi

This post is Part 3 of a 4-part saga. To start at Part 1, please enjoy: AppleCare Needs a Frequent Flyer Program. As the saga progressed on my 2013 MacBook Pro being unable to contact any Apple services (no apps would run, no Mail would come in, no access to my iCloud data), I decided […]

AppleCare Needs a Frequent Flyer Program

I entitled this article “AppleCare Needs a Frequent Flyer Program” because if they had such a program, I’d be getting all kinds of free perks by now. If someone asked me if they should buy anything from Apple right now, there would be hesitation in my response. It’s that bad. This weekend my 2016 Touch […]
