All my iPads are so old that it's been many, many years since any of them were able to get any form of update.

Better not advertise that you have very hackable out of date hardware and software. Sure hope you aren’t keeping revealing photos of your garden fertilizer collection process. AI will have a field day (pun intended).

At this point the only thing that they get used for is keeping score of my teams' softball games and book reading. Some email.Mountaineer wrote: ↑Fri Jan 16, 2026 6:27 pm

Not really connected that often to the internet.

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
the ipad OS update woes continue. Firefox for ipadOS doesn’t want to show all the tabs anymore. You can force it to by tapping Window, then Show All Tabs (downward stroke just to get the menu that includes Window). God knows what that keyboard shortcut is. I’ve tried everything.
But as soon as I open a new tab, all of the above disappears. Sometimes even the address bar vanishes so that I cannot paste an address in. Crazy.

You are just reinforcing why I will always be a computer-first person and any other device only when computer is not available. For me anything else but a computer is simply a supplement.dualstow wrote: ↑Mon Jan 26, 2026 9:04 am the ipad OS update woes continue. Firefox for ipadOS doesn’t want to show all the tabs anymore.

But good luck with your problem. I've just emerged out of being in Email Hell for 7 days and having to spent 35, 40 hours to diagnose the source of the problem, the extent of the problem, and solving it.

I hope all my Gyroscopic friends have survived the recent blizzard conditions across much of the US. At least we didn’t lose power in our neighborhood; just a lot of snow and sleet and ice. We have been on level 2 emergency since Sunday - basically means only emergency vehicles and approved snow removal vehicles allowed on the roads.

Stay safe, M. Wife and I just explored the city on foot. Not as lively as we’d hoped, but there were some happy dogs.Mountaineer wrote: ↑Mon Jan 26, 2026 1:33 pm I hope all my Gyroscopic friends have survived the recent blizzard conditions across much of the US.

Yesterday just before noon I plugged in innumerable lights, power packs, telephone, music devices, reading devices .. in case no electricity. Also, turned temperature to 78 in this room so all in this room would absorb heat and then release if room no longer heated.Mountaineer wrote: ↑Mon Jan 26, 2026 1:33 pm I hope all my Gyroscopic friends have survived the recent blizzard conditions across much of the US.

But no electricity outage so far at my house in Western MA.
This measured 12" at the back door and 10" at the front door. Have received a fair amount since and more is fairly heavily falling now.
My street is the main street in the area so it is the first one that the town plows.

I think you forgot a sentence about snow before “this measured.”
