I am planning a trip with friends to a rural cabin, that has no WiFi nor a way for me to get internet to it. Just going for the weekend so I don’t need or want to arrange Internet either.

I also have an older Apple TV, not the latest model.

If I have purchased movies (ie from iTunes) that I already can watch on there at home (where I have WiFi) is there a way to ensure I can still watch them up at the cabin if I bring up a TV and the Apple TV box?

The situation is this. I go home to visit family once in a while and they have lots of dogs with lots of hair, and seem to not notice or care about this. I would love an air purifier for the guest room I stay in, BUT I know they would find this insulting. But it’s also a dry area. In the desert southwest United States.

So is there an air purifier (mostly for pet dander) that is either so small it might not be noticed, or that looks like it’s just a humidifier and/or noise machine?

Thanks for any advice

I love my house but it backs up onto a 55 mph road, that isn’t crazy busy but when cars and especially trucks do go by it’s fairly loud. Any ideas for sound barriers? Preferably some sort of plant, would a tree or some such work to lessen the noise? Preferring something I could quietly plant as the only space for putting up a sound barrier of some sort is not technically my land more a roadside grass area. Thanks.

I have family who on a small lake in the Midwest US. is there a subreddit for best practices for maintenance for lakes? Or does some of the advice on ponds work for lakes as well? Looking mostly for advice on making the lake bottom less muck-y, and cleaning sand (ie a tool to rake out old glass shards, cigarette butts etc).

Hoping for some recommendations. I like to have a few shoes in rotation and typically I wear Vessi’s like these, just in different colors. But lately I’m wanting shoes that are more environmentally friendly, and maybe a bit more breathable? But this is exactly the look I want. Any suggestions?

I have the older Google Wifi devices, one hub and 2 points, which when working cover my house just fine. But lately there’s a point or more offline intermittently. We even had our home ISP out to test and per them we are getting exactly the internet service we pay for, no problems from their end. Latest issue was one point was “offline” despite never moving the point, never changing anything, and after many attempts to bring it online I had to reset and re-add it to get it to work.

Is this lower reliability a symptom of the age of my devices, or Google? Will this just keep happening? I like the product and the Home app but my home internet should just work, not require frequent troubleshoo

If this is renew wrong sub to ask please let me know where to post instead and I can post there. Basically I’m hearing this war in Iran and closure of the Straight of Hormuz is going to cause a potentially devastating blow to oil / gas. But I’m not seeing lines of cars or gas stations running out or anything. And I keep hearing the worst is coming. So when? And how bad? Are we anticipating gas shortages or doubling prices or what?

Hello, I’m hoping someone can help me find new pajamas. I like lounge style pants, not “jogger” where the ankle is tight. I have one pair, very old now with holes and am looking for plastic free replacement, either bamboo or cotton. But everything I’ve searched so far either has some spandex / polyester / nylon or isn’t my style or size (2XL or 3XL regrettably). Any good websites or places to buy?

First time poster here. I remember in my childhood going to a legit brick and mortar store to look at and buy music. That seems to have gone away, at least where I live, in favor of online, but online sites seem to heavily limit what they’ll show. I’m not buying if I can’t see at least a decent chunk of what the arrangement looks and sounds like. I also DON’T want to purchase the rights to print a pdf, I want real sheet music or music books shipped to me. Does anyone have recommendations for a website with decent previews that will ship the music? If it matters, looking for Intermediate-Advanced, and looking currently for Rachmaninov Prelude in C# Minor and maybe a book of Wicked’s music.

Sorry if this has been asked before. I currently use Safari on iOS, with DuckDuckGo as my preferred search engine. My goal is to avoid Google and Bing’s tracking and AI. I hate AI. DDG has it but you can turn it off at least. Now that I’m learning about Ecosia, I like its mission BUT it gets search results from Google/Bing. Will this still avoid me being tracked?
