Some of my favorites are... 'remind me to X when I get to work' (or home), and 'remind me to Y when I leave work' (or home)

Good tip!

Using the 'Mac' method, you can also re-order your networks, placing the preferred ones on top.  I've had to do that to help prevent my Mac, when at work, from choosing a public SSID over my work's private LAN SSID.  It so happens this public SSID is generously located in most retail and public places in my city, so I'm normally happy to connect to it, just not at work.

It's too bad that:

a) you can't prune and re-order networks directly on your iOS device (not everyone has a MacBook, and the reset network settings in iOS is a pretty 'big hammer' solution)
b) that iOS and macOS don't just analyze the utilization of SSIDs, also taking into account the device's location, and just auto-sort the SSIDs into a preferred order list - maybe even letting you promote favorite SSIDs to always take precedence over the auto-sorted list.

Yes, I've submitted both ideas to https://www.apple.com/feedback/

Thanks for the PSA!

The Belkin TB3 dock was recently reviewed, and ships with a 3.3ft TB3 cable, while the dock advertises 40Gbps performance and 85W charging.  So what is the included cable's actual speed, power, and active/passive specs?  I know this dock with its included TB3 cable is compatible with a 2017 MacBook Pro 13", and not (backward) compatible with a 2015 MacBook 12".

It feels like the 'universal' in USB-C doesn't mean anything anymore.  Not only are cables with a USB-C connector unclear about their speed, power, and active/passive specs, but the TB3 docks are proprietary.  A Belkin TB3 dock only works with the MacBook Pro, while a Dell TB3 dock only works with the Dell laptop, etc...

When TB3 was announced, I mistakenly looked forward to a day when I could buy one TB3 dock and it would 'universally' dock with and power (up to 100W) any TB3 computer from Apple, Dell, Panasonic, and others.  Not anymore.
