Winna! Found the 2010 iPod Nano (5th gen) that had been missing since 2015. It has a minor dent in the back & battery life is down a bit. But it works fine. The iPod Nano is an interesting thing, five different shapes & sizes across 7 generations. Mine is the only one that had a video camera, microphone & speaker. The latter is beneath the clickwheel and uses it as a speaker grille.
@matigo Rarely. In this case it was fairly early on a cold morning, I'd spent the night asleep on the sofa as the loungeroom has a reverse-cycle air-conditioner. It was set to heat mode. the cat was slumbering on my chest at the time when some noise caught her attention. I was using the opportunity of her limited camera awareness to try a few portrait-mode effects with the Halide app.
@variablepulserate Halide enables the iPhone SE to include pets & objects as Portrait mode subjects. Apple only allows human faces because of potential inaccuracies. See this for a good explanation: https://www.cultofmac.com/705635/iphone-se-uses-software-trick-to-give-photos-beautiful-bokeh/
Because the new iPhone SE has only one lens for its camera, Apple has set it so that the Portrait studio lighting & focus effects are only capable of detecting human faces. Other iPhones with multiple lenses can apply these effects reliably with pets & objects. Not so the new SE, it can do it but not reliably.
I'm willing to take my chances with that so when I learned of the Halide camera app I bought it & its companion app, Spectre immediately. Halide replicates the studio lighting & bokeh effects with pets & objects well enough on the new SE.
Here's a pic of my cat Mittens, taken at a distance of 30 centimetres with portrait mode applied.
I have deliberately edited the pic so the background (and her right ear) are blurred & indistinct with the rest of her head in focus.
@joanna Looking that way. But that 2nd digit in the date could easily have been a 2, 3 or 5.
Just been notified via SMS that my package is at the local post office, it’s 8am now. PO opens at 9am. I have an eye-test scheduled for 10:40am, I’ll just do one trip.
@axodys My, what a lot of work! I backed up my old SE to iMazing (after updating to 13.4.1), which stores backups, including apps on an external drive.
Then I restored the old SE’s backup to the new SE. When that finished I just had to rename the new SE and download whichever app updates were needed.
So tell me, friends, what date & time am I supposed to visit the post office to col
lect my parcel?
Back in the days of the Roman Empire, the famous Emperor Nero instituted a new game. The players would take those little disks you set your glass on in order to protect the furniture, and see who could get the most distance rolling them across the floor.
They were the first roller coasters. Back in those days, the disks were made of iron, and they would bet on whose disk would roll the farthest.
They called them ferrous wheels.
