What the most stable OS for 2011 Imac (12.1) 21.5"?

I'm, currently on High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G14042) and want to squeeze a bit more life out of the old girl.

1tb SSD installed and 12gb Ram. Non Metal GPU.

Hearing mixed reports as to which is best - should I go to Monterey or Ventura?

Can someone please explain how to make Torbox work in Umbrella? losing my mind..

I’ve set up a torbox pro account and enabled it in umbrella by inputting my API key and all I’m getting is my previous RD links that don’t work.

What am I missing? What settings to I have enable? Are there other things I have to install like trakt?

Do I have to remove RD?

Paint correction or not before PPF?

I’m calling alone to find a local installer for PPF and I’m getting really mixed opinions between installers on this:

To paint correct or not to paint correct?

Some are saying yes so the paint is perfect for the PPF, and others are saying don’t cut in to the clear coat / manipulate the paint surface because it won’t make a shade of difference in look or adhesion assuming the car is properly cleaned before installation.

What’s the truth?

PSA: Do not use UPS Ground Saver Advantage! They are not passing postage payment on to USPS and they will confiscate for "unpaid" postage!

I'm hoping the mods allow this becuase this is a MASSIVE problem right now that has cost us hundreds of dollars.

We have learned that labels bought using the UPS ground saver (which are a type of hybrid label where UPS collect the money but use USPS to actually deliver) are not being delivered.

According to USPS, they are not being paid by UPS for some of the labels, and therefore are not delivering.

We called USPS and they told us they will "not be returning the packages", and they "will be disposed of"!!!!!

They also wouldn't even allow us to pay for the postage again ourselves. We're screwed and can't get the merchandise back.

We have been speaking to Shopify support for days and there is no resolution so far.

So anyone offering UPS GROUND SAVER ADVANTAGE, stop using that label type immediately and take it off your shipping options!!!!

I have a new car coming next week and trying to see what the general / current consensus is for a full car clear gloss PPF?

Xpel has too much orange peel so that’s out of the running, but wondered what car people’s opinions are on the other leading brands like Stek, Avery, 3M, Voir etc?

Mainly looking for the best gloss finish and self healing capabilities. Any recommendations?

I need to clear PPF my new (to me) Aston Martin, and installers near me offer a range of films such as Xpel, Stek, 3M, Voir etc.

Xpel market like crazy but I’ve seen so much orange peel that it makes me think it’s an inferior product, so that’s out of contention.

One local place is pushing Voir PPF but I’ve never heard of it. Stek seems like the best option.

What is the general consensus on the best self healing PPF?

Seems like VOIR films are doing a big push where I am and I've never heard of the stuff. Apparently at C&C events.

Anyone know anything about this stuff?

I just tried to call lowes about a defective product they sent me, and my god I've never come across a worse phone system. The AI asks you the same question a dozen times and give you non applicable information (I don't need my local store opening hours when I'm trying to return a product that has tp be picked up).

It literally cannot put you through to the right department.

I've never encountered a worse system and their lines must be massively clogged with people all being directed to the wrong place.

Seems like AI isn;t solving this problem lol
