A Lovely 10C Site!

On his 70th birthday, a man was given a gift certificate from his wife. The certificate was for consultation with a well known therapist who was rumoured to have a simple cure for erectile dysfunction.

The husband made an appointment and saw the therapist. He was given a potion and, with a serious look on his face, the quack said, "This is powerful medicine. You take only teaspoonful, and then say: ‘1-2-3.' When you do, you will become more manly than you have ever been in your life, and you can perform for as long as you want."

The man thanked the therapist, and as he walked away, he turned and asked: "How do I stop the medicine from working?" "Your partner must say ‘1-2-3-4,' he responded, "but when she does, the medicine will not work again until the next full moon."

He was very eager to see if it worked so he went home, showered, shaved, took a spoonful of the medicine, and then invited his wife to join him in the bedroom. When she came in, he took off his clothes and said:
"1-2-3" . Immediately, he was the manliest of men.

His wife was also excited and began throwing off her clothes, and asked: "What was the 1-2-3 for ?"

And that is why we should never end our sentences with a preposition, because we could end up with a dangling participle.

@jextxadore My last three iPhones have used a 6-digit password with no such difficulties.

@matigo I never noticed it before, but I haven’t been using two displays for more than a few months. Others have told me it’s been there for decades, certainly 15 years. It’s present on my 2005 12” PowerBook. And finally I can use the full 1680 x 1050 settings on my 2005 20” Cinema Display with the PowerBook by placing the 12” display under the 20”, dimming & ignoring the 12”. Just have to make sure the dock is on the left or right.

I sneezed or coughed or wobbled the mouse and the entire blog post I was composing in 10C vanished completely, can’t find it anywhere, most distressing.

The above text is what was detected from the attached image.

I’ve recently subscribed to an associate’s blog, “Autosave is for wimps.” Most entertaining, with a rather droll sense of humour. Here’s a link to his latest output: https://autosaveisforwimps.substack.com/p/whoop-were-going-back-to-the-office?utmcampaign=post&utmmedium=email&utm_source=copy

@axodys You're not alone there. My 2017 13-in MBP does the same thing at least three times per week & I experienced it with my 2017 4k iMac once last week.

@jextxadore When I registered at a municipal library in another area a few years ago they issued two cards: one of regular size & the other much smaller, intended to fit on a key ring.

Casting your minds back to the final year of ADN, does anyone recall someone with the username of (@)macspert?

@sumudu It’s a bit more detailed. When you see the recording mini window, look to the right of the record button, there you’ll see a disclosure triangle or a caret, I can’t recall which. Clicking on this lets you select a cable-connected iPhone or iPad as the camera. Then whatever is shown on the connected device appears on the Mac’s screen. There’s no need to actually start a recording.

This trick also works with an Apple TV, believe it or not!

Having said that, though, Reflector 3 app is much easier. https://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector
