This.
If you're running around all day from meeting to meeting, having an iPad or tablet to load up your Microsoft apps like Outlook and Teams is game changing. Granted, I use a Microsoft Surface Pro 6, so not exactly the same thing.
I envy my colleagues who splurged on an iPad Pro. I don't think I could ever do that.

Does anyone know when Costco brings in the Woozoo fans? I so regret not getting one last year and know they normally sell out fairly quick.

I started using Macs in 2018 which is after the whole butterfly keyboard thing kicked off. Surprisingly I've had no issues with the keyboard, probably cause the machine sat on a desk 99% of the time and I used an external keyboard.
What I had were mainly software issues and a bunch of small bugs. My coworkers had varying degrees of screen hardware issues, CPU/GPU issues. These were Intel Inside.
That lead into the touchbar Intel MBP where it would go afterburner and attempt to VTOL for no reasons.
The next one was a M1 13" MBP where the fingerprint sensor was a little wonky.
I have two MBP right now, an old touchbar 14" and a brand new M2 MBP. Neither of these seem to have any problems right now but I'll see, it's only been 2 weeks.

We just have a simple Galaxy Tab which lives on the Kitchen counter, and use mostly for TV/music while cooking, looking up recipes, things of that nature.
Only bought the Galaxy Tab because all the video apps on the old Ipad 4 suddenly stopped working (Shaw Bluecurve, Youtube) or were unsupported (Disney +).
Pissed me off because it did the job of playing videos just fine until one day we get a screen out of the blue "This app is no longer supported by the OS, update your OS" and then "This device does not support a newer OS". Fuck you apple.

Fuck you apple. | I mean, that's the same with an older Android tablet. Past a certain age the new OS can't be updated onto the tablet, apps are no longer programmed to work on that OS, etc.
Just wait until the Android tablet does that to you too.

It's just streaming video, how complicated is it that coding for it so massively fundamentally changes between OS's that it can't be written to keep working on the old version of the App?
Some older versions still work, Netflix still works (worked, until I cancelled it) on the pad.
I mean shit, I can fire up an old Windows XP box and still install the latest version of WinVLC to watch videos.

what kinda kirkland stuff do you all recommend? | Their organic ground beef, basically all veggies, avocados while expensive are still the best deal doing price Vs quality imo. The chicken wings, turkey pepperoni when on sale, the Kirkland blocks of cheese again probably best quality Vs price going.
Mixed nuts, the salt and pepper mills, seasonings, better than bouillon, the tortilla “strips” they have now are amazing. Then cereals, Vector and Mini wheats again best deal going.
Basically anything you can keep, or you eat enough of to eat before it goes bad, there isn’t a better deal on imo.

For Kirkland brands, TP, PT, Laundry pods, coffee k-cups n seaweed snacks are always on my list. Extra virgin olive oil, grape seed oil, balsamic vinegar too but don’t expect top quality/flavour. Still good for day to day cooking for most.
Non-Kirkland musts are Steinfeld pickles (the best out there IMO), tonkatsu ramen bowls, bread, huge wedges of Parmesan cheese, 4 packs of bacon, born 3 eggs, avocados, cucumbers, asparagus and soy sauce. Other necessities such as mouthwash, toothpaste, Q-tips, contact solution etc. are good buys there.
Buy meat in bulk and portion it at home. That said, pound for pound, better deals can be found elsewhere depending on what you’re looking for when it’s on sale but Costco is usually a reasonably safe bet for stuff like ground beef, wings, chicken breast/thighs etc.

What's more awesome is, you can use the card in the US. Actually world wide.............
I am an executive member, too. Not even bragging, lol.
Two of my sons have companion cards. No charge. One is a card I thought I had lost, while the other is a card you can give to a family member (as long as they live at the same address - he doesn't, lol). Well, he used to.
I use my original card to use at the gas pumps at Bellingham Costco, while I use the CIBC Costco Credit Card for purchases in Canada. Home Trust Visa for US purchases (even though they take the Mastercard there). Home Trust, of course, to avoid the exchange transaction fee.

Those Costco sweats…. Be careful when you wash them. They produce a shit ton of black lint. So much so that it completely clogged my dryer lint catcher. Good initial quality (hobz patented, BH power award) but it seems like if they lose that much material during washing, it won’t last very long if you repeatedly wash your garments. Also I’m pretty sure they run color…. Good thing I didn’t wash them with any light coloured pieces.
Heavens to Betsy if they ruin my dogs heart shaped bedding’s!
Ps. On top of what the gentlemen above suggested
Buy glasses from Costco. Best prices for sure.
Also buy tires. Best warranty and prices.
Also buy batteries (both car and normal). Best warranty on that too.
Also buy tpms sensors. Dealership wants 1k for 4. Costco only wants like 30 bucks for each
Also buy clothing in general. Rip a crouch, return it after 5 plus years and they’ll still give you your money back

Containers, gardening supplies (organic sea soil and potting soil), bananas, lol. Born Free Eggs, batteries, anything on sale, lol.
I don't think I've ever bought staples from Costco (hee hee).

I save enough money on the strawberries each week to pay for my exec membership card - their berries also turn over so fast that they always last longer than any store other than Whole Foods so you end up throwing out a lot less of them if you eat them over a week. When I buy from Superstore or Save-on their strawberries start going bad in 3-4 days but the Costco ones able to make it to the end of the week most of the time.
