Here's a handy thing: a mini USB hub for the m4 mac mini. It mounts to the two front USB-C ports and provides two USB-A ports rated at 10Gbps; two USB-C ports good for 10Gbps and Sd/micro SD card slots. I attached two HDDs to the USB-A ports and two SSDs to the USB-C ports. All volumes mounted successfully, System Information showing the SSDs able to run at 10Gbps anfd the two HDDs at 5Gbps, which is no different to how the behave when connected directly to the mac. the device is by RayCue and is called the MiniPack hub. It's very compact, smaller than the 20W charger that comes with an iPad these days.

BREAKING NEWS:
Teens vaping behind the Vatican accidentally elect a new Pope.

I never saw the point of the BMW X6, that's the weird jacked-up 4x4 4-door coupe style monstrosity.

Used my electric convection heater last night for the first time this year and it's May already.

So now I have three less fingertips available for blood glucose level monitoring.

I’ve changed the dressings on the lacerated fingers, now using just one plaster per wound and I’m able to leave the fingertips uncovered for use with touchscreens and trackpads.

Captain Clumsy rides again. I have six bandaids on three fingers of my right hand. One each to hold the cut closed and the other to sop up excess blood.
I'd felt something crunchy underfoot in the kitchen so I took off the affected slipper and brushed my hand across the bottom as I couldn't see anything. Turns out there was a deeply embedded glass shard from a jar that had previously broken on the tiled floor. The attached photo shows the shard which I extracted with some pliers. It's shown beside an Australian 20 cent coin for scaling purposes. The coin is 28mm (1.1 inches in diameter.)

Could have been worse, normally I'm getting about barefooted…

It’s somewhat clunky to use as a camera grip because the battery component is so large. I tried it either way my iPhone 15 Pro and it worked flawlessly, not so with the Motorola G75: the Bluetooth shutter trigger works fine but unlike other wireless chargers, it just doesn’t co-operate at all. It’s quite good as a phone stand because it hold the phone in portrait and landscape orientation.
