Re: who knew you should be careful with digital thermometers
?My guess is the data is anonymized. When they take your temperature at the doctor’s the digital thermometers are not connected to you account - it seems to me the nurse always types temperature into your account.

Lee, I used to use ChronoSync. ?It has lots of options to set, but you're good with Unix so that won't be a problem. ?I remember thinking its data files were taking up a lot of disk space. I only stopped using it because my data files won't fit on my thumb drive anymore.

I never said I don’t use Time Machine; I just said I don’t trust it. Because of this, I use a belt and suspenders.
The backup strategies depend on what machine you’re asking about: desktop or laptop.
With the two desktop Macs I regularly use, I have USB hard drives attached and the backups are done with Time Machine. The desktop machine at home is also backed up with Carbon Copy Cloner to my NAS every morning at 4:00. The one in my office is backed up to a Linux machine elsewhere in the building by rsync at 2:00 every morning.
My MacBook Pro is backed up at home to my NAS by Carbon Copy Cloner semi-regularly. I try to remember to do it a couple of times per week. It’s a manual thing, not automatic, which is probably a bad idea.
For current projects, I have a different strategy. My current projects are on DropBox, so they are mirrored on all the Macs—and Linux. I also have a Hazel script to mirror the current projects from DropBox to iCloud. This way, I feel the chance of losing ongoing work is pretty small.
L^2
I like to know if anyone uses ChronoSync. The reviews I read of it are pretty good, but I’ve never tried it. The reason I ask is because I’ve been toying with the idea of getting some Amazon or Google storage for backups or archiving and ChronoSync supports both companies.

Thanks John,
It’s not apple pay. I was under the impression it was for the credit cards you can just tap instead of inserting. When I tapped it told me my card was rejected and to show it to the clerk in side. I didn’t do that I just waited till the machine cleared and started over by inserting my card.

If it won’t accept ApplePay it’s a radio connection for Androids, not NFC. Not near as safe. I inform the merchant, not that it does any good.
I also won’t use the terminals at tables in many restaurants, if the date isn’t encrypted then anyone close by, even the parking lot, can grab the packets. Red Lobster is so emphatic they have to bring a manager to the table to give permission.

I am resending this because the photo didn't come through the first time.
Free to anyone who wants them. I think one of the clips was for an iPhone 7, and am not sure what iPhone the other two were for.
I don’t have the otterbox cases any more.
Let me know if you want 1 , 2, or 3 of them and I will mail them to you.
If no one wants any I will toss them.

Haven’t you heard of our corporations going all out to help the government without an order to do so!? ?
Ford and GM have agreed to convert their auto plants to produce medical devices.
Liquor distilleries have agreed to use their plants to make hand sanitizers, I’m expecting a great increase in sales....
Apple has agreed to donate 9 MILLION mask to the government...on it goes....
Free Enterprise at its best.

Well I tried to erase the time machine backup with disk utility and cannot because disk utility cannot unmount the disk. I can erase the other partition with disk utility no problem. I cannot, however, re-partition?the drive to a single partition because disk utility cannot unmount the disk.
I purchased the drive at costco in October 2017. I could return it to costco and get a new drive or get my money back but I don't want to do that because the time machine data is still accessible.?
Any thoughts?

Some days I can send email from my gmail address with no problems. Other days, like today and yesterday I get the message: Cannot send message using the server hejb44@... Connection to the server “ on the default ports timed out If I open Safari and connect to gmail that way I have no problem sending the email. Why is this happening and what can I do about it? Thanks.
PS it happened again with this message so I am putting it in my drafts folder and then sending it from gmail in safari.
