I tried debian 13 before with kde and LMDE7 is a lot faster for me, especially firefox.

Any idea why?

Looking for something for home office. No gaming. Mostly internet browsing, email etc....plus I wear reading glasses

I've got a dell optiplex 7090 desktop for home use and shopping for a bigger monitor since I retired. No gaming just regular home office/ desktop use.

It's got display port connections. I do have a HDMI to display port cable too but not using it now. I'm using linux LMDE7.

Thx

I'm trying to find a mouse that works with a mac mini 4. Prefer a regular AA battery.

I'm confused about bolt receivers and if I need one?

What kind of tech specs would I need to buy a 27 inch monitor that would work with the m4 mac mini?

It's just for home desktop use

thx

I saw on the exchange website the prices are higher than buying direct from apple with the 10% discount.

I also can't find anyone that knows if any of the exchange listings have an ethernet port.

I'm retired and have most in SGOV, Can VCRB lose value like BND did before or would it be more stable in price since it's supposed to be actively managed?

I set up a free developer account and when I tried to download rhel 10 i was asked for mandatory name, address, phone number?

I'm shopping for medicare plans and saw this part D plan which would cost me $43/ year.

Wellcare Value Script (PDP)

My copays would be nothing for 4-5 prescriptions I take through the va. My current costs are $15/ for 90 day supply with the va.

Is there any negative with using Wellcare?

I use the VA for healthcare and am considering a plan G high deductible for a backup plan.

How would medicare excess charges be handled until you meet the deductible?

As far as I understand it this plan covers the excess charges.

Just had a new heat pump installed in Feb 2026. The new condensate pump quit working and flooded the drain pan. They replaced the condensate pump with a new one. When I woke up this morning the pan had water in it again? The new pump is working fine.

The insulation goes all the way down to the bottom of the drain pan and nobody touched that, just vacuumed the water out of the pan. Shouldn't they have removed and replaced all the wet insulation?

I think the water is still draining from the saturated insulation. I'm concerned about mold growing. Is the insulation supposed to go all the way to the floor for a heat pump?-The cold air return is on the right side in the picture.

The heat pump and dehumidifier drain into the same condensate pump
