Farewell YML
Back in August Shawn King announce the end of the Your Mac Life Show after many, many years. I wish him well on his future endeavors.

This update is not allowed on this system.
Just got my new Mac mini (M1, 2020) spun up and taking it for a test drive. I’m immediately impressed by how many apps that I use are showing up as “Apple” in the Architecture column of the Process Monitor. For apps that still required the old Intel chip, there’s Rosetta.… Read the rest “This update is not allowed on this system.”

So Long Citi
My experiment with Citibank’s AAdantage MasterCard is (almost) over. Their security verification features pushed me over the edge. Every time I tried to talk to them on the phone I would come away frustrated.
Citi + Pay advertisement
Their phone verification system assumes that all their customers will have a land line or addition accounts with Citi.… Read the rest “So Long Citi”
