Title: reboot occasionally
Post by: jchuzi on April 09, 2026, 08:34:52 AM

Unless you reboot every once in a while, your Mac will get kicked offline every 49 days (https://appleinsider.com/articles/26/04/09/unless-you-reboot-every-once-in-a-while-your-mac-will-get-kicked-offline-every-49-days) I shut down nightly so I haven't seen this. Still, many people never reboot so beware.

Thanks, Jon! I've set my iMac to reboot every 48 days, 17 hours, two minutes and 46 seconds. I don't like odd numbers! U kant bee two safe! 🤯

Oh goodness, I’m still stuck on those little openings on the back of my new computeer. How do I set up a reboot? and I have to relearn about getting the thingies so I can use my “hefty size” pin drive and put some artsy-fartsy stuff on my new iMac from my old iMac. My “excuse" is that I had to go to the ER again recently—gosh that takes a lot out of me … as always, prayers appreciated if you feel confortable doing that.
