A Lovely 10C Site!

I discovered that music.apple.com is now out of beta. First time I ran it on my MacBook Pro it displayed a generic Apple Music app window. Then iCloud kicked in & it picked up my Apple Music Library (this was while using Safari, other browsers require manual log in).

I noticed then that the bottom right corner showed an icon of the US flag & the words United States.
By this stage the Safari address window was displaying https://music.apple.com/us/browse, so I changed that to https://music.apple.com/au/browse and the lower right corner displayed Australia.

Doesn’t work on iOS all browsers tried just force-opened the Apple Music app.

Worked OK on Android 10 but that platform has a native Apple Music app so it isn’t needed in a browser.

Was incredibly slow on the G4 PowerBook, gave up when it wouldn’t load an essential script in the TenFourFox web browser.

Was OK on the dual-1.25 GHz processor G4 PowerMac but was still a bit slow to respond.

@axodys I put in my order for a black 128 GB SE almost as soon as the pre-order window opened. It should arrive on Friday, 24th. I’ll be getting a well-cushioned iPhone 8 case with padded corners. Cheaper to get an exisring 8 case than a new SE one.

@jextxadore You might get by with FreeOffice 2018. More info here: https://shrtm.nu/xItv

@jextxadore Have you considered SoftMaker Office 2018? There's also a reduced-functionality one called FreeOffice 2018. The significance of the 2018 year is that it's the first time they released a Mac version. I managed to snare a deal a few months ago that let me get the paid version for AU$20 instead of the usual AU$109. This is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.

Order placed for a black 128GB series 2 iPhone SE, with AppleCare+. Delivery expected on Friday next week.

Is it crazy how saying sentences backwards…

…creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?

It started with the iPhone SE being able to use cheaper iPone 5 & 5s cases, then along came the 5th gen iPad 9.7-inch. It had the same dimensions as the original iPad Air, so iPad Air 1 cases worked with it.
The new iPhone SE is the same size in all three dimensions as the now-discontinued iPhone 8. Ergo, I go to the local office supply store when my new SE arrives (I'll order one tomorrow) & buy a $15 iPhone 8 case instead of a $40 SE (2) case.

@JeremyCherfas Unless you use a hacked version of Mojave or Catalina. I've seen Mojave working on a 2011 15-in MacBook Pro. See http://dosdude1.com
I observed him on YouTube installing Mojave on a 2008 15-in MacBook Pro with a slow HD & 4 GB RAM.

@streakmachine Have you observed this phenomenon?

New iPhone SE announced. Available for pre-order in 27 hours, with deliveries starting 7 days later. Essentially it's the iPhone 8 body encapsulating most of the iPhone 11's internals. I have an original 64GB SE, bought for $829 in 2016. That price now gets the 128GB model. New SE supports Qi wireless charging.
