    Well, I just did it this Sunday afternoon. You go into your account and place the renewal order using PayPal or any other card. It's pretty easy. What's stopping you?

    CA says it's an automatic renewal.  It's due in less than a month.

    I sign in, hit renew and get the message

    "

    A customized quote is not currently available for your SSA renewal.

    If you would like to learn more about the status of your SSA, please e-mail or call Sales at 208-292-3400.

  2. My SSA is due Jan. 6.  I contacted support to let them know that I have new credit card numbers.

    They want to to call Sales.  Why is there no way to update my account online?

    I don't want to stop working Monday thru Friday, call, be put on hold and have to read numbers over the phone.

    I should be able to do it now, Sunday afternoon.

  3. My situation is unique.  I'm an Electrical Contractor.  I see the Building and Electrical Inspectors often.  Over the years I've built a relationship with all of them in different counties and municipalities in this area.  I can pick up the phone and call their cellphone and just ask.   If you talk to them one on one, they'll tell you that they would rather have you ask in the design phase.

    The result is easier on them and you.   

    Some of the new inspectors like to come out tuff and firm.  Once they realize that you are professional and knowledgeable, they become friendly.

     

     

  4. Until then, Do you have a compatible TV to Mirror the screen wireless using Wifi ?

    An Apple TV device will also do it.

    I use a 65" 4K Sony TV to mirror when I meet customers.  

    In the upper right of the OS tool bar, you'll see an icon that looks like two sliders stack on top of each other.  Click that and select Screen Mirroring.  My TV shows up there and when I select it, the TV automatically switches to Screen Mirroring, select it again and the TV switches back.

  5. Are you receiving this error when the MacBook Pro is plugged in or when it is running on battery?

    The default is Automatic Graphics Switching = Checked,  This means that when it runs on battery the computer using the onboard Intel UHD Graphics.  When it is plugged in, it uses the Graphic Card, in my case, it's the AMD Radeon Pro 5500M

     

    Go to System Preferences > Battery >  and also Power Adapter  (Both) > Uncheck Automatic Graphics Switching.  This will use the AMD graphics card at all times, but will decrease battery life.

     

     

  6. My 2019 Mac Book Pro has dual video cards.  

    Onboard Intel Graphics and AMD Radeon Pro

    The default is for the computer to use the Intel when running on battery, but use the AMD when plugged in.

    In System Preferences > Battery, there is an option to automatically switch video cards when using battery.  This can be turned off.

  7. Should be fairly easy

    30" Base cabinet with a 48" Base next to it.

    30" Base back to Back with the other 30"

    Select the Cabinets and make one double door, no drawer, no toe kick.

    Add molding to the bottom of the base cabinets

    All cabinets should have no countertop 

    Add custom countertop

    Add cabinet legs

    Add cabinet molding under the open areas

    Add the stools

  8. You guy are correct about Apple.  They are the ones I should be upset with.

  9. I downloaded it.  I'm extremely disappointed that X13 Real Time Ray Tracing is not supported on the Mac.  

    I have a $4,400 Mac Pro and a $3,900 MacBook Pro.  It's hard to justify buying a $4,000 PC just to Ray Trace.
