I still have cable, though I'd love to cut it. I don't see what canceling the TiVo subscription has to do with a land line though? Mine is hooked up to Ethernet, but before that I had a wireless adapter.

I have an interview in about 90 minutes. I'm slowly doing some prep work. I've got a handful of questions to ask. I've got my story for why I'm interested in the role. I think I've got a story about a weakness down.

I had an ancient TiVo that updated via land line.

We haven't had cable for ... 8 years? Something like that. The only reason I miss it is because I want to be able to watch Penny Dreadful as it airs.

I think I went to VOIP before I stopped using the TiVo.
Oh, come on Yelp. Not one of the "Best Restaurants in Suisun City" is actually in Suisun. That's not right.
ETA: y'all want to tell me where to go for lunch? I've got Italian, Greek, Thai, several Mexican options, a couple of diners and a couple of Bar & Grills.

I probably should take this to Tech, but since I'm shopping for a new Mini Mac now, I'm wondering how much of a difference in performance I'd get between:
2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
vs.
2.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Because Apple seems to think that's worth $300.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
No difference. What you really want to do is max out the memory.

And don't pay Apple to max out the memory, because they overcharge for it; buy your memory from somewhere like Small Dog or NewEgg and install it yourself.
(Wait. It's been 4 years since I last bought a Mac; is that still true?)

Unfortunately, if you're buying a recent vintage Mac Mini, the RAM is not upgradeable.

Damn you, Apple. It wasn't upgradeable in my MBP, either (and while my husband lives his life by the motto "If you can't open it, you don't own it" and tries to void every warranty he can, I would prefer not opening up a laptop that Apple doesn't want me to open).
But seriously, the Minis can't be opened now, either? Bullshit, Apple. Upgrading memory is fun!
...I may need a new hobby.
