Re: [MacGroup] traveling wi-fi

[William Rising]

Make sure to apply the changes before trying the network again. If you close 
network preferences, it should ask if you want to keep (?) or apply (?) the 
changes. It couldn’t hurt to then turn off your wifi and the turn it back on.

Re: [MacGroup] traveling wi-fi

[William Rising]

You need to forget the host. 

On the iPhone, go to Settings > Wifi, tap on the info (i with a circle around 
it), and select Forget this Network. 

On the Mac, go to The Network preference pane, click on the advanced button, 
find the network , and then forget it. 

Either way, the next time you try to join, you’ll get asked for your info.

I think they have their favorites, even though they are not on the take. 
Kenmore was another brand they seemed to like more than they deserved. (My 
cooktop is testimony to such an overrating.)

Of course, I still look at CR’s recommendations when I need to,but I try to 
adjust using a decidedly not science-based algorithm.

Re: [MacGroup] Adobe Flash Player

[William Rising]

Flash also has had a bad habit of sucking down resources once opened. I use 
Chrome when a site requires flash [1] because (at least in the past), Chrome 
was vigilant at having the most recent Flash with the most recent security 
patches. Of course, I think Google has cooled towards Flash, so this might not 
be a long-term strategy.

Bill
[1] If you turn on the Develop menu you can easily jump over to Chrome to open 
the website without the need to copy and paste the URL.
