Delivered today, a Logitech Casa pop-up desk that resembles a large book or photo album when closed. Opened, it reveals a Bluetooth keyboard, Bluetooth trackpad, USB-C charging cable and an angled stand ideal for tablets or laptops up to 17-in screen size. For the latter, it raised the laptop screen to a comfortable working height. The Casa Keys (keyboard) and Casa Touch (trackpad) both have three selectable Bluetooth channels for connecting immediately to three different devices. I have set them to work with my laptop on ch 1, iPad Air on ch 2 and iPad Mini on ch 3. https://amzn.asia/d/c9klpyr

There once was a girl from Purdue
Who kept a young cat in a pew
She taught it to speak
Alphabetical Greek
But it never got farther than μ.

Originally had that on the list but didn't agree with the definitions

Messing about with the 2012 Mac mini again. It runs macOS 12.7.6 Monterey, can’t go any higher that that OS. Consequently I need some way other than Safari to access my numerous social media feeds. On the mac App Store several years ago I found Friendly Social Browser, which is a way of creating individual web apps within the overall structure of Friendly Social. It’s mostly effective except for put.io and Nextdoor. For the former there’s a good app called Apero on the Mac App Store, but Nextdoor is proving difficult.

A bit like people getting lost in IKEA and them selling meatballs…

I always see more people walking into Costco than out of it.

But the meat is cheap, so I don't ask questions.

Plenty of Mastodon app available.
