For home use I have various HomePod arrangements: single original in one bedroom, stereo pair of Minis in another bedroom connected to an Apple TV 4k and a stereo pair of 2nd generation HomePods in the lounge room connected to another Apple TV 4K and 4k 50-in TV. Nothing seriously portable until now. Output-wise, it’s better than the pair of HomePod Minis but less so than the pair of big HomePods.

Yes, I do.

The final payment of my late mother’s estate has arrived in my bank account. I have bought one of these devices:

I bought directly from SoundCore and didn’t notice that Amazon had matched the price until later. It’s a brilliant bit of kit, too. I’m well pleased.

Handy new device released by RayCue. It's a dock/stand for the M4 Mac mini and has nine accessory ports all fed by a single USB-C cable connected to one of the Thunderbolt ports. https://www.raycue.com/products/raycue-type-c-stand-hub-with-ssd-enclosure-for-all-new-mac-mini-m4-m4pro

Not yet. But if I get a 2.5 gigabit Ethernet router in the future it'll be covered. This thing is a long-term investment, I expect to keep it at least 4 years.

M4 Mac mini has arrived. Set up with Migration Assistant using a bootable clone of the M1 Mac mini as the data source. Very nice indeed. Chose 24GB memory, 1TB storage and 10 gigabit Ethernet.

No chance. Expecting it on Tuesday.

Checked the progress of my M4 Mac mini delivery. Four hours ago it had cleared customs in Hong Kong.

I was informed on Friday by the masseuse who was giving me an intense back, shoulder and neck massage that I could expect some soreness after a few days.
Not wrong. Today I could hardly walk with intense pain in my right hip and right knee. The hip pain has migrated to my lower back and the knee is OK.
