All is well that ends in pizza.

Speaking of which...

If anyone has an iPad Air 2 what died or has a cracked touch screen, but works, I might be interested. Let me know.I might be able to salvage the LCD from it.

It's kinda amazing how hot my MacBook Pro gets.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It'll make a nice lab warmer for the coming winter.

The primary wireless access point in the house died last night. Going to try this TP-Link one.

The last one was a Netgear WAC510 and I haven't always been super happy with it so I wanted to try something else even though I'll have to install a new bracket on the ceiling.

Has anyone tried YouTube TV? I am intrigued.

No, but I've been eyeing the various options. Trying to decide if they're cheaper than cable and also easier/still worth it?

Yeah, I was hoping someone had figured that all out already...

My issue is mostly that I'd still be paying the cable company for internet...but I'm also waiting to see what my next bill is, since I dropped all the fancy cable last month and just kept local channels (...but mysteriously am still getting cable like HGTV and USA, just not in HD??). Also then I'd have to give up my TiVo, which would also save money but I've had one since 2002!

That would be a big adjustment! I get my internet from Comcast and my TV from DirecTV right now, and that should probably change regardless. I do already have my Hulu subscription which I am pretty happy with, but the live TV and recording aspects of YouTube are enticing.

I did a trial of Sling TV, but it was when it first came out, and it wasn't very good.
