A Lovely 10C Site!

Done, new TV purchased and installed. If my car had been even 5mm narrower, the box would have to have been laid flat in the back, the retailer prefers where possible to stow them upright or near upright. There was just enough room behind the front seats for the thing to fit in. It was more of a struggle to get it out, actually. My dodgy knee wasn't an issue in this case.
The old HD TV was cheap and it showed with the incredibly poor speaker quality, a soundbar was needed for it to be usable when not connected to the AppleTV/HomePod combination.
No such issues with the new 50-inch 4k TV though. Its speakers are quite acceptable, which means I free up a power outlet in the lounge room but have to use another in the bedroom where that TV/soundbar combination now resides.
The old one is a "dumb" TV, the new one is what I call lobotomised, rather than Smart as I only connected it to the internet for setting up purposes. Now any smart or streaming features are handled from the Apple TV 4k, so the TV's Wi-Fi- has been disconnected and the Ethernet unplugged.
The next thing to do is not to advertise to passers-by that a new TV is nearby by breaking down the packaging, I use a Ryobi 4 volt cutter for such jobs. it struggled with this box because the cardboard was extra thick. That said, it's broken down now and taking up very little space in a recycling bin. the attachment shows the cardboard pieces with the cutter on top of the pile and my feet in the photo to give an idea of scale.

Seven years ago I bought a 32-in HD TV from ALDI, it's OK but not so fabulous in this day and age. Later today I hope to upgrade to a 50-inch LG 4k Smart TV, relegating the ALDI one to the bedroom.
In expectation of necessity I have already registered an LG account, I'll likely need it to set up the new TV properly.
I don't envisage using any of the Smart TV features: those are generally provided (and without intrusive adverts) by the APPle TV 4k unit. I have a soundbar and a pair of 2nd gen HomePods to provide additional audio if the built-in speakers are not as good.

I've been messing about with one of my older digital cameras, one I bought used in 2005. It has some quite interesting specifications/features. It has a 4 MP sensor with 4 X digital zoom, not uncommon in those days and 10X optical zoom from a Carl Zeiss lens system. The model number is Olympus C-750UZ (Ultra Zoom).

I've been home from the hospital system for 95 days now. In that time I have, on 11 occasions, had to take a Tapentadol tablet for strong pain relief. The last one swallowed was about 10 minutes ago, I can expect it to take effect in about 15 minutes more.
Can't happen quickly enough, I have too much pain in too many places.

Started my new job with Microsoft last week . Everything was going great until one morning until I tripped over a power cord.

I'm pretty sure I plugged it back in….

The arm rest width adjustment of my modular pull apart mobility scooter is achieved by loosening one or two plastic knobs that cover a bolt thread. It turns out the original ones are really fragile, I've attached photos of the better one of the two.
With the first pic the three strengthening ribs are all damaged to an extent. One has broken completely, one has a split and the other is bent. The 2nd shot shows the part that's gripped by the hand ti make the adjustment.
I paid a visit to the local hardware shop today and bought a pair of more durable hand knobs, one is shown in the 3rd pic.

My iPhone 15 Pro, iPod Touch and iPads do not have Airplane mode available.

This is because I use Australian English and the setting is properly called Aeroplane mode.

@variablepulserate No. We are talking of a salami-style of thing made primarily with beef and garlic.

A few days ago I bought a joint of my favourite roasting meat, young goat leg. It’s just a wee bit too long to fit in my air fryer so I’m cooking it long and low in the regular convection oven at 140°C for a little over 3 hours. This will be tender, juicy and full of flavour. The shank end, being smaller and rather exposed, has already been cooked and consumed.

I drove 55 km today to a Sunday market to buy a lump of garlic mettwurst. There just aren’t any delicatessens or butchers around here that make those fine sausages. But there’s always a rep at a weekend market somewhere that sells them.
