@variablepulserate The processor used is designed for passive cooling, no fan needed.

Breakfast today will be a bowl of scrambled eggs. None of that toast nonsense, just soft & moist, almost custard-like consistency (if you like lumpy custard) milk & egg mix.
Traditional recipes allocate a certain number of eggs to a certain volume of milk, leading to inconsistencies because the eggs aren't always standard.
My recipe uses the discarded eggshell to measure the amount of milk used. It's the rate of ½ a shell of milk per egg.
@variablepulserate Somde options for image sharing that are not Zuckerberg are Telegram, Google Photos, Flickr & 10Centuries.
@axodys A major consideration is the MacBook Air goes into conniptions (the processor temperature hits 100º under any sort of load).
Info from MacTracker shows the GeekBench 5 scores of the dual-Thunderbolt 13-inch Pros to be significantly higher than those of the New Air. It's my belief that it's related to that thermal overload problem. As iFixIt mentioned with their tear-down: the fan moves air past the processor, not over it.
The air's processors are not designed for use with a fan, another (I
forget which) source claims.
@hybotics That's good news for you. I remember you saying some time ago than the cost of your Kindle Unlimited subscription was too high & you had to let it go.
New 13-in MacBookPros released. All are 0.7 mm thicker to accomodate the "Magic" scissor-action keyboard. Otherwise the spec is the same for the dual-Thunderbolt devices. up to 16 GB RAM.
The quad-Thunderbolt models is where the action starts, with 2.0 GHz i5 & 2.3 GHz i7 processors. They can be had with 32 GB RAM. Prices in OZ are unchanged, but the minimum specification at those prices is that the 128 GB option has gone. The smallest capacity SSD is now 256 GB, a most welcome change.
@variablepulserate "MMSes are still charged separately. Is that normal with phone contracts??"
The main networks include MMS in the data allowance but not all resellers do. Such an example is ALDI, which resells Telstra 3G & 4G spectrum. Their pre-paid plans have two components: the base pay-as-you-go level which includes the phone number (keep the PAYG balance above zero or risk losing access to your phone number!) and a component for unlimited calls & SMS within Australia.
MMS & international calls are charged to the PAYG component.
@matigo A bit more enlightened here, it seems. This was copied directly from my latest phone bill: "Includes unlimited calls, SMS & MMS to standard Australian numbers and data to use in Australia."
There was an unexpected change to my mobile allowance: it went from 15 GB per month to 30 GB with no price increase.
It's unclear whether this is a permanent change or a shorter-term WFH COVID19 arrangement.
