I can’t find their website right now, but there’s a charity that “borrows” suburban yards to grow produce which they then donate to local food banks. It sounds pretty cool.

Thrill-seeking recklessness.

When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” To this day, especially in times of “disaster,” I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.

There’s a large number of legal IPTV streams – a lot of them are just the streams you would normally be able to access via Pluto, Plex, and other services. There’s also a lot of public access/public media channels are legit and free All of the ones available at the link I posted should be legal. There are “pirate” IPTV streams out there, but I don’t know any off the top of my head. I would check with the c/piracy community.

They did, but the first run of MacBooks we got that didn’t have Firewire would let you use USB. But we needed an A to C adapter to make that work.

Ha, old man brain glitching there. The A to A cable we used for file migration, but we had to stick an A to C adapter on one end to use TDM on some machines (had to be USB 3 rated, I think). It was around 2016, if I remember correctly? It honestly didn’t come up that often.

In the long, long ago, we used to use USB-A to A cables to transfer customers’ Mac OS X user profiles when they would buy a new Mac. Also worked with Target Disk Mode, way back when.
