Not sure how popular the SmartDrive is in this community (allot of people using it). I have been using it perodically, plugging it in to rechare after a run. This last time I went to pull out the Magnetic plug out of its smartdrive socket, and it pulled out the container, exposing the wires/inside of the smartdrive. It didn't seem to want to snap back in. Has this happened to any one else, and what did you do. Im going to look at it more closely to see if might be a turn and snap in option, or some other Macgyver solution, any help would be apperciated

I’m unclear on the partner plugins. Specifically nano banana? Is that a plug in that comes with photoshop (2026), or is it a separate app that needs to be purchased?
Ran across some videos, it looked like an interesting tool. The videos were unclear on if it’s a part of photoshop, or an add on with purchase? Ican’t see it as choice in the A.I. window, just firefly plugin, so my guess it’s a purchase item?
Just, wanted to make sure whether it’s in there or not before I would purchase it

I have a desk setup of a PowerBook and dual monitors. There are times when I can work outside, so I have a portable monitor for that occasion. I’m not near enough to get a plug, to use one. I thought of a battery pack, but it’s expensive, and a bit of an overkill. I have an old yoobao charger, and a newer anker x charger.
The goal is to work outside with the laptop and two monitors, a tall order.
My current set up is to have the fully charged PowerBook, run offs its own power, while I use the anker to power the portable monitor. The power book is usually reliable for making the work day. I have the anker powering the monitor which surprisingly, will give me about 6 hours, so I need to power it down for a bit while I’m not working. Would it be better or worse to try having the anker, power/charge the PowerBook, while connecting the monitor, with an usbc cable to power that. Not sure if that config is more or less efficient?
* I don’t really use the yoobao in the configs, because it is an old usb connector. Poor to slow for power. It is available for an “emergency” but unreliable, because of its connections, but if you think it might fit in somewhere please let me know (haven’t tried powering monitor individually with it) not sure if the low power output is enough?

I have My powermac hooked up to input 1, and I have work PC to input 2. I can use the joystick at the bottom of my monitor to switch. I found the dual controller installed it, but I'm not sure how to set it up properly?

It appears you Select a mode for the Computer you want as the main (assume its using the inputs 1 as main and input 2 as sub). I have my powerbook as main. I only want to control the inputs from the main. so do I need to install it onto the work PC? Hopefully I won't need to as I don't have access to install, the connection guide sounds like the (easy) way. If you could install on both.

Will the connect option get around this issue, by using/adding the IP of the work computer in this window allow ne to connect and then switch back and forth. *the work computer is on a guest network, the main is on the main/secure network. can I still connect them?

Hopefully this makes seance.

I'd like set a reminder to repeat every hour, with an alert sound on the hour it triggers, until it is completed. I have one set for every hour, but I cant get an alert out of it every time the alert is triggered. Can you do that with reminders, or do I need a different app to do that. This perticular reminder is for a prescription, would the health app do the sound alerts every hour until completed?

Im still getting to know scryfall syntax to find what i need. Currently Im trying to find cards that will make sorceries less expensive, or other ways of cheating them out from the graveyard, I have the easy part/sytax to narrow down color, and format,

I was looking to power a tv, cable box, and router, for seasonal power outages. I have no idea how to judge the power I will need to run these devices for a couple of hours.
I’m not able to go full tilt and get a generator outside. I was hoping for a battery pack I could put in the tv cabinet/or bedside it, to power theses devices for a couple of hours.
What should I be looking at power wise? If this sub allows prod suggestions that would help.
