I noticed something really peculiar this morning when I was invited to a Zoom meeting. I had uninstalled Zoom the night before but when I clicked the Join Meeting link, I was still prompted by the browser to open the zoom.us application. I went ahead and clicked OK to open it and I got the OSX popup: "You're opening the application "zoom.us" for the first time. Are you sure you want to open this application?" (https://imgur.com/nsOV3d5)

I checked my Applications folder and didn't see Zoom there so I clicked the "Show Application" button in the popup and it ended up opening the Applications folder from one of my Time Machine backups with Zoom installed.

I tested this with both Firefox and Chrome with the same results. Now I don't know if this is an OSX specific issue, a browser issue, or a Zoom issue.

Can anyone else confirm the same or similar behavior on Mac? If anyone can also shed some insight about this behavior, it would be much appreciated.

I'm about to buy a Herman Milla Mirra 2 chair and am stuck between two color schemes.

The first, safe option is all black for ease of maintenance sake. I wouldn't really have to worry about visible stains and discoloration over time and could be a little more "reckless" with it, if you will.

The second option, the one I really want, is black back & seat with a white frame (http://imgur.com/a/oJ7ti). My only concern with this scheme is the amount of upkeep it might take to keep it clean. I plan on keeping this chair for years to come, so that's why the amount of maintenance plays a big role.

Does anyone have experience with a white Mirra 2? Do they get dirty easily or am I being ridiculous?

...I just want to make sure I get something I'm happy with. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I noticed something really strange happen today. I'm getting an invalid certificate warning ("This certificate is not valid (host name mismatch") while sending email through Google's smtp server. I decided to disconnect from PIA and send the email and, low and behold, no certificate warning. I reconnected to PIA, tried to send a test email, and got the warning again.

Anyone else notice this? I've noticed this happen several times in the past, but I didn't pay much attention to it. The cert in question is for mx.google.com

I'm sick of HostGator's constant outages, including today's. Can anyone recommend a solid managed VPS service not related to BlueHost/HostGator?

I'm currently paying $51.95/mo for the following and would like to stay in the same price range for similar specs:

2.3Ghz (1 core) 1024MB RAM 60GB Disk Space 1000 GB Bandwidth

I'd gratefully appreciate any input.

I've been using WRT54G routers with DD-WRT for years and am looking to get a new router. I haven't been keeping up to date on the latest and greatest in routers and am wondering if there's a "new" WRT54G, so to speak. Meaning, is there a better router out there that can run DD-WRT or can provide the same features & functionality?
