Comment Screw YouTube TV (Score 1) 42

Their prices started out decent enough but now are on par with what I was paying for cable. Dumped them and I live close enough to Baltimore and DC that I can get all the football games over broadcast with a $20 window antenna. I'd do even better with an attic mount antenna, but don't want to go through the hassle. The only thing I'm missing is MSNBC and I'm sure they're going to have a streaming service soon enough.

I had a ProMax and wanted something smaller / more convenient to carry. I've had no issues with battery life and I looked at the vast majority of the pics I've taken over the past year and they are mostly "visual notes". Pick up this can of beans at the store. This is the furnace filter size to get. That type of stuff. I'm not taking pictures of super models in the desert. I take almost no video. If I did, the Pro would be the obvious choice. But for me, the Air works well.

When I was deciding which one to get I told my wife that my head says to get the Pro, my heart wants the Air. I got the Air. I also liked when they had the mini. That was my favorite iPhone.

Comment Have been tracking since getting an Apple Watch (Score 1) 80

I'm generally doing 10k steps per day, weather permitting and some days up to 20k. 2500 steps is days that I'm not doing any kind of walking. 1500 would be days that I'm sick and in bed most of the day. What's the key to being able to stick with? Probably the Apple Watch but more importantly - no little kids that I have to take care of. I tried to do 10k when the kids were little and that was a chore.

Comment Tried using this with Verizon (Score 1) 24

My alerts never go through. I think it's Verizon blocking them Now if they could only block the stupid spam texts.I've given up on email to text gateways and do a WebEx bot so at least delivery is reliable. More formatting options and ultimately just a curl call.Too much spam in both email and texts and everyone is trying to block the spam that you're more likely to have an important notification disappear.
