Good VPN option?

Hi all, The network at the hotel where I am staying has insecure internet, and, since I’m going to be spending some time here over the next few years, I’m thinking I need to set up a VPN. I know this topic has been discussed on this list, so thought I would start here. Can anyone recommend a

Re: Good VPN option?

VPN Express seems to work well for me. If you have Verizon, they have something called digital secure that works on an iPHone. But VPN Express (or is it Express VPN?) works on all devices, and can even work directly on a Wi-Fi router and Smart TV. Dave Carlson Engineer, Farfar, Woodworker, Pion

Hi, I have no experiences using VPN. But would you recommend to pay for such a service? Is there even free stuff out there? It might be more secure when paying for a service what do you think? All the best Jürgen > Am 18.04.2022 um 16:16 schrieb Lucas Gil Nadolskis : > > Hello > The best one i

A Question for Audible Subscribers

Hello All, I know I saw a post about this but I cannot locate the solutions, if any exists. For some reason, even when in list view, VoiceOver seems to skip titles in my Audible Library when I am browsing through them. Is there a solution to this problem? Interestingly, I did not begin experien

Re: Good VPN option?

Thanks, Dave and Lucas for the suggestion. My husband has just reminded me that I should be able to access our employers VPN, so I’m going to try that first, since it would be free to me. However if that turns out to be too limiting I will definitely check this this one out. Really appreciate th

Re: A Question for Audible Subscribers

Hi Mark, I just tested this out, and I am experiencing the same thing, though not consistently. I believe this to be a new behavior, so I don’t know if there’s a solution. One thing I noticed with my brief test was that it seemed to happen more often when I flipped through my titles then when I

internet almost useless to me on Mac now

Okay, Until I can get a new Mac somehow, does anybody out there know of a good more text based browser that I can actually use with El Capitain? I know, that’s old but it’s all I’ve got now because this old Mac (a mid 2009 moddel) will not support anything more recent. So, I figured that if S

Re: internet almost useless to me on Mac now and upgrading to a new Mac

Yep, I’d say your best alternative is using a smart phone for browsing the Internet. There’s some sites I can use on my Mac, but other ones Safari won’t let me open because my computer is too old. I’ve been using a late 2008 white MacBook running El Capitan and will need to upgrade to a new Mac

If possible I would go with the newer Mac models. If you just use it for basic stuff then you are probably fine with the Air. > On Apr 18, 2022, at 16:49, Kathryn Zodrow wrote: > > Yep, I’d say your best alternative is using a smart phone for browsing the > Internet. There’s some sites I can u

This is the Monterey operating system, latest version. Don’t know if that makes any difference. It’s very strange that I only have two choices for the start up pop up and neither one is blank page or no tabs. Even if I turn off tabs entirely it’s still insist on having only those two choices. Ma

Upgrading from Catalina

Lately I’m getting nag screens for updating to Monterey. I’m currently using Catalina on a mid 2013 MacBook Air. Is there any compelling reason why I should do so? I’m perfectly happy with Catalina, but I normally try to stay reasonably current with the latest OS. However, I just don’t feel like

Re: Preserving configuration files under /etc across Mac OS upgrades

Hi, I thought that I noticed a one time when I was in Terminal a couple of weeks ago, that Apple may have added this functionality themselves. I am running 12.4 on an M1 MBP, so that may be a factor. I also was in a hurry, so didn’t read the message in detail, so I could be dreaming. Later…

Need to Repair TextEdit on Monterey OS

My Text Edit constantly goes into “TextEdit not responding” when I open it without a document, or when I close a document. I always have to use the force quit to shut it down. This started happening yesterday, and so far I’ve found no solution to fix it. Is there a site where I can download a n

Phil, In my experience, upgrading from Catalina to Monterey is pretty painless, and it works as well as Catalina. However the text message app is quite different and takes a bit of getting used to. Dave Carlson Woodworker, Oregonian, Farfar, Pioneer, and Engineer -- The following informatio
