Purchased 4 Prime NY steaks from Costco (1.5-2” thick). Salted Saturday night. Seasoned and put into the Grilla smoker set for 250 with target of 110 for medium rares and 125 for mediums. Took a little under an hour to reach those temps. The Combustion probes showed ambient closer to 200.

Pulled at those temps and then seared on a Napoleon grill IR sear station at 30 seconds x 5 (top, bottom, flip top, flip bottom, non-fat side) then rested for 10 minutes.

The 110 pull came out very much medium. The 125 made it to medium well. The steaks were very juicy but I was very disappointed.

I had Googled temps and medium rare kept being listed as 130-135. I have a hard time believing there was that much carryover heat to pull 25 degrees more after pulling and during searing.

Appreciate any advice on how to avoid this in the future.

Since moving to 15.3 on Tahoe with am M3 Max MacBook Pro, I have had issues with basic stuff like moving files and, just now, importing from my DJI connected via USB-C. LRc wouldn't even import after I copied files from the DJI to the internal Mac SSD.

I see in CC that there are Older Versions listed. Can I simply Install LRc 15.2.1 and be fine?

No issues with the current catalog??

Runny DSM 7.4 on a 918+. I have two externals (usbshare1 and usbshare2) connected and use HyperBackup to make copies of the NAS just in case.

It seems that Hyper Backup will sometimes (happened last week due to power outage longer than UPS could handle) switch drives. This previously happened in June 2025 but again last week.

So while usbshare1 should have two folders (PBS and Plex) it now had a third (DataRAID). DataRAID is supposed to only be copied to usbshare2 but that drive now had all 3 folders as well. Both ran out of space.

If I go to settings in Hyper Backup, I see the destination folder but just a name and there is no way to set the drive location. Currently, the two are reversed so that PBS and Plex are designated for usbshare2 and DataRAID is usbshare1 despite the opposite being the norm.

I can't rename the USB drives as far as I can tell (looked in File Station and External Storage).

I'm guessing there is a hidden file at the root of each USBshare but not sure:

1. how to find it and clarify which is which

2. how to sort this out other than deleting all tasks and redoing the settings. But I'm afraid it'll just happen again in the future.

Thanks!

I was tired of the notifications about the recall on my 2024 SQ8 for the rearview camera (though never had an issue with it). Scheduled an appointment with my local Audi service center for 9:30am on a Thursday and dropped it off promptly.

I was informed there were actually 3 recalls - rearview camera (90TV-03), high voltage battery switching unit software (93PG) and the brake issue and that all would be taken care of. Received an arranged Uber home.

I called to check on the car at 3pm and was informed it was 'next in line'. When I called at 5pm, I was informed it was now in the bay and wouldn't be ready til tomorrow.

Took an arranged Uber to work the following morning. Called for an update at 10am and was told it would be 'end of day'. I explained my day ended at 4pm and I expected it to be done by then. I was also informed that they weren't able to address the brake recall as they needed a special part for that.

Finished work at 4, called and told 'not til 6pm'. Took another Uber home and my wife dropped me at 6 on our way to dinner.

Checked the invoice and confirmed - 2 software updates. That took 2 days from the original appointment time. They weren't even considerate enough to charge up the car.

When I go back for the brakes I'm going to demand a loaner.

For a software update to require the dealer's time and take 2 days is insane.

Came from a Tesla Model 3 (owned from 2019-2024) and every single software update/'recall' was taken care of at home. There's not much I miss about Tesla but they definitely figured out the computer part of EVs. Or at least the updating aspect...

I ordered the new 96m head from BestBuy where it was listed correctly with photos to match but just received a 94m in the padded mailer instead. I checked and my printed order in there said 96m...

Does anyone have a reliable place to purchase the new head in the US?

Lightroom Classic user for years. Updated to 15.3 on M3 Max MacBook Pro running 26.4.1.

I was recently in Italy and have 3,000 photos stored on the internal SSD with over 300 gb free.

LRc keeps hanging with a spinning beachball and requiring a force quit at least 70% of the time when I open it in Library view and do anything as simple as clicking a thumbnail.

I have already gone through the images to rate them and now am looking to finalize selections but the damn thing hangs almost every single time preventing me from working.

LRc is currently open but haven't touched it other than to check version number. Activity monitor shows it is using 1.72 gb of RAM with memory pressure in the green (48gb physical memory; 33 used, 15 cached, swap 433 MB)

Any advice?

[UPDATE-FIXED] - on the last time I opened LRc, I noticed the first thumbnail was greyed out. On a hunch, I moved that image out of the folder in Finder and reopened LRc and it was fine. I have since opened/closed 4 times and worked in the Library and Develop module and all seems okay. So I guess the first file got corrupted at some point and kept tripping up the program when opened to that first file even in thumbnail view?
