I want to take my son to the game tomorrow for his first time. Budget is tight. I’m looking at these $30+ parking lots which is completely insane and not based in reality to put your car somewhere for a couple hours. The tickets I got were cheaper than that. Despite Cumberland mall parking rules stating no non-mall parking, are people doing this? It’s a Sunday game and mall doesn’t open until 12 so I’d be getting there right about then.

Any other suggestions for cheap parking and walking? Maybe park and grab a cheap uber?

Even before I got an ultrawide, I spent 15 or so years decoupling the mixer, rack, and sequencer into their own full screens and put each on a different desktop- 3finger swiping in a MacBook trackpad to switch to the full screen device I needed. Now, I put all three in the screen, taking up 100% of my 35” curved monitor’s real estate. I don’t use F keys or shortcuts to bring up various windows - never understood how people were juggling all 3 devices on a single small screen.

I’ve seen a few YouTube reviews of R14 which places emphasis on helping people navigate the 3 devices, putting inserts and fader on the sequencer when selecting a track, and popping out the rack to view just a single track’s signal chain. These don’t look like they’d apply or be needed to me.

Other than note chase, not needing to switch to eraser to delete piano roll notes, the cool reverb, and the dark mixer color, it seems like a version I could skip over. Am I missing something, or are the main changes going to appeal more to those using a laptop screen or using F keys to get to the devices?

I have a sync issue with my devices that isn’t going away - maps and Health are showing the errors. Clicking “resume sync” makes settings window freeze. I’ve gone through all the steps to fix this. Apple tech over phone was not able to figure it out and I went by an Apple Store and told me I’d likely need to update to ios26 and os26 which has improvements to end-to-end encryption/iCloud issues.

I don’t want Tahoe unless my life depends on it.

What would the consequences be if I started over with a new iCloud? What do I need to keep in mind? I already keep backups locally. Would I still have access to all the apps I’ve bought? I don’t mind saving files and moving them back over, I just wanted to check and see how much a pain in the ass it would be by keeping Sequoia/ios18 and if there’s anything I’m not thinking of or need to consider. Thanks-

EDIT: I solved it. I had an old 2017 Air running Monterey that had keychain checked in iCloud. That was causing a hangup for my newer devices to not be able to sync properly. I won’t need to delete iCloud. Leaving this up in case it helps someone in the future.
