I recently had to replace the iPad I was using as my register in my business. I have been using my iPad Pro (2018) for the time being. But I need to get a second device.

My current iPad has 512gb and I am bouncing between the same or 1tb, but since the nano glass screens only come one the 1tb+ models I am thinking about going that route.

I have astigmatism from an eye injury, so screen glare is a killer for me. I currently have a matte paper like screen protector on my pro.

If you got the nano glass and had it to do over again would you still get it? If you were leaning towards the 512gb model but went with larger storage for the nano glass, was that worth it to you?

Anyone know if it is possible to get the search box back? I am one of those people who collects open tabs, i have always loved that safari on ipad always gives you the search box, unlike iphone where it is only at the top of all your open tabs. But now with 18 it appears to moved to the top of all the tabs like iphone.

Not only does the credit bureau max out their password length, you have a small list of available non-alphanumeric characters you can use, and no spaces. Also you cannot used a plused email address, and it had an issue with my self hosted email alias, forcing me to use my gmail address.

Both Experian and transunion had no password length limitations, nor did they require my username be my email address.

Update: I have been unable to log into my account for the last 3 days now. Every time I try I get a page saying to call customer service. After a total of 2 hours on hold I finally found the issue, you cannot connect to Equifax using a VPN. In addition there is no option for 2FA (not even email or sms) and they will hang up on you if you push the issue of their security being lax. Their reasoning for lax security and no vpn usage is "well all of our other customers are okay with this".

I need to replace the iPad I use in my shop as my register. Unless I replace the stand (Square Stand) the newest I can get is an iPad Air 3rd, or iPad 9th gen. Looking at the specs it appears they are basically the same, with the Air having a better display (the antireflective coating sounds nice, but I could just get a matte screen protector), but the iPad having a better processor, and it is newer so it will get iOS updates for roughly two more years.

It is used to stream music, run the Square app for my register, and I use Safari to look up items on the web for customers.

The iPad I am using now is running slowly, and swapping between apps takes too long.

Which would you choose? (It looks like the Air is available renewed with 64gb at $175-199, while the iPad is new with 64gb at $249)

If anyone personally has experience with the new Square Stand I have some questions about it.

Edit: called square to ask my questions about the new stand and they were unable to answer them. Waiting to hear back from a higher up hardware person, then I will make my decision on the new stand or keep the old one. It looks like I will go with the 9th gen iPad if I keep the old stand.

Lately I have been getting system notifications with no X on them to dismiss them. They are not going away on their own, I cannot move them. The only way that I have found to get rid of them is to restart my MacBook and then the dismissal X appears.

Does anyone know how to dismiss these without the reboot? (it is making me feel like I am using a windows computer again) I have all updates installed (Sonoma 14.5 (23F79)) and it is a MacBook Pro M2 Max 2023.

I would like to find a vehicle that is pedal powered (with the possibility of electric assist) that my wife and I can ride and transport our 3 dogs (all are over 70lbs) around town. We live in a small rural town and take our dogs to just outside town every morning and walk with them. One of the dogs has hip dysplasia, and is fine when she can walk at her own pace (which is why we go out of town, so she can be off her leash). I also work not terribly far from home (<1km) and 1-3 of the dogs come with me everyday.

I found the quad I linked, but at $5k+ it is a bit much. I know this is a pretty niche thing but was hoping someone has had better luck with finding something like this at a lower price point, before I look into building something myself.

I started a new community for Left-Handers, the instance that had the previous community appears to have shut down.

I have the Diablo 3 Switch, and the bitcoins joycons never developed any noticeable drift. However, I have lost the right controller and need to replace it. I primarily, but not exclusively, play with my ProController and am missing being able to use my Switch hand held.

Have the newer joycons had the drift issue eliminated? Considering the joycon lost is my fourth set, and the only set without drift, I would rather not purchase another set if drift is still happening.

I have an Apple TV (4k 2nd) that I use to play Spotifty on my HomePod. But every few songs (I cannot seem to find a pattern to it) it goes silent. It is not buffering, you can see the music is still playing. If I play on my iphone, ipad, or Macbook and air play to the homepod it does not seem to happen, just the Apple TV. I just tried reinstalling the Spotify app and it is still happening.

Has anyone had experience fixing this? Or have ideas for a remedy?
