@matigo The two packs from Brisbane were everyday contoctions, the one from Perth was a comparatively limited edition.
I ordered three packs of Nespresso Vertuo coffee capsules on thureday. On Tuesday the package arrived, minus one of the orders. Perusal of the post office's iPhone app reveraled the package that had arrrived was shipped from Brisbane, Queensland, some 1800 km away while the other lot that hadn't arrived was coming 3400 km from Perth, Western Australia.
Wild variance between the size of iPadOS 26 developer beta 6 update being reported. Folk with M4 iPad Pro 13-inch are reporting the update from beta 5 to beta 6 as being between 10 and 11GB. For my M1 11-in iPad Air 5, the update was 844MB. Not a lot of changes but app opening seems a lot snappier.
What do we want?
An end to the tyranny of Autocorrect!
When do we want it?
Cow!
When it comes to home renovations I go from one extreme to the other.
I either screw it up… or I nail it.
Just received a notification from the post office indicating a parcel of coffee was able to be tracked. The notification first appeared on my MacBook Air, then the iPhone Mirroring app opened, and my new Apple Watch then vibrated, asking me to use it to unlock the iPhone. I did so and the phone was shown on the Mac’s desktop with the post office app open, showing all the known details of the upcoming parcel delivery.
@matigo Confirm I got the cellular one, but there's a glitch in the system for sharing the same phone number as my iPhone, the carrier has screwed up. I'll get it sorted after the weekend. At the moment the watch acts as a GPS one and need the presence of the iPhone to take or make calls. With the number-sharing sorted, it can serve as a phone in its own right.
Since an office supple store chain is offering Apple Watches for less than the cost of one from Apple Refurbished stock, I've bought a black cellular aluminium 46mm Apple Watch 10 one and it should be ready for collection from the local branch later today. My current watch is a cellular 2019 SE in silver aluminium.
One of several afflictions I endure is Raynaud's Syndrome, a circulatory issue whereby nerve spasms constrict the capillaries feeding blood to my toes. It can also affect hands and fingers but in my case, only the toes. The affected areas turn white and feel exceptionally cold, not ideal in winter. In mild cases massaging the feet is effective but I get best relief from heat, either from hot water immersion or some form of heat pack.
My latest approach are some fluffy microwaveable booties: 90 seconds in the microwave on the highest setting gives around 20 minutes of heat/warmth all over my feet. Hot water bottles work but two are needed, one under and one over the top of the affected foot.
If nothing else is available a towel soaked in hot water is effective too. Currently it's past 2:30 am and an episode of the syndrome has woken me from my slumber. It's a mild case so massage is all I need for relief.
@matigo It arrived today and I've been testing various cables. Two surprised me, as far as I was aware from the website where they'd been purchase, they were USB 2.0 speed cables, on account of their length of 2.6 metres. Turns out they are USB 4 cables, with power handling up to 240 watts and up to 48 volts. I tried three different Thunderbolt 3 cables, only one was capable of 40 GBps, the other two were 20 GBps only.
