@variablepulserate 13 days since the last backup date. Normally I do them weekly. the system has 118 GB free of 250 GB total.
Bastard cat. Snuggled up to me, too close to the external HD that had just started a 16 GB Time Machine backup. Now we have to go through the “Preparing Backup” bullshit again because the furry shitbag caused the drive to unmount itself.
Today I deliberately downgraded a couple of apps on my MacBook Pro in order to demonstrate the MacUpdater app. This scans through your Applications folder for outdated apps and shows whether an app can be automatically updated or whether it's a manual process. I choose to hide MAS apps. Some other apps work fine but have updates that require payment, in such cases, you can choose to ignore the app or just that version of the update.
@matigo There's two versions of FruitJuice app: a two-week trial from their website then if you go ahead with it, there's a paid version on the Mac App Store for US$9.99. More info at http://fruitjuiceapp.com.
@matigo I've been using an app called FruitJuice to regulate/analyse my battery use on this 2017 13" 'Escape' MacBook Pro.
Apple’s charging mat is actually a guy named Matthew who goes around and plugs in your devices for you. They call him Charging Matt for short.
Early start tomorrow, some basic gardening to be done. For Xmas, one brother & his family gave me three chili plants in a single big terracotta pot. In was unclear who the intended recipient was, and the watering for about three weeks was sparse, so the Super Bird’s Eye plant didn’t survive. The Jalapeno is looking a bit sick but the Habenero is flowering & producing fruit.
Today I bought an extra pot and a bag of herb & vegetable potting mix incorporating three monts worth of fertiliser.
Tomorrow morning I’ll transplant one of the survivors to a new pot & replace the potting mix in the original pot. They’re supposed to grow quite well in unshaded areas and they just aren’t coping at present.
@jextxadore It’s been suggested that the Aussie accent sounds the way it does because of the prevalence of bush flies. The little buggers can’t get into your mouth if you speak with your lips open but teeth clenched shut.
