@matigo I went with a 1Password account & paid for a one-year subscription rather than monthly as it was cheaper. The reason was needing to use 1P on Android as well as my Apple stuff. Dropbox was the trigger, they dropped access to multiple devices on the free tier and priced the next level too high.
A 1P account keeps all connected devices in sync, which I used to use Dropbox for.
@jws Magic Eraser is also one brand name, but those ones are stupidly expensive. Other stores have much cheaper generic brands that cost far less.
One interesting store has a policy of selling their cheapest single item for $2·80. Their EFTPOS terminals have a minimum transaction of $5·60! Most of their products are from Japan. In the case of the melamine sponge your $2·80 buys a long thin 33.6 cm (13¼ inches) block of the stuff. Cut off whatever size you need.

@matigo In hindsight, it was genius: He got a bunch of people to buy 2 so they could use one while recharging the other.
@variablepulserate A lightly dampened melamine sponge is the absolute best thing for destaining a teacup or getting a whiteboard properly clean.
Every forthcoming article about Jony Ive’s alleged design genius and legacy should be required by law to include this photo.
@variablepulserate Spectacle lens cleaner sprayed onto a microfibre cloth for when I forget it isn’t a touchscreen & get greasy marks on it or a lightly dampened microfibre cloth when dealing with dust.
On the thicker iMac screen I sometimes use a melamine sponge (activated by a small amount of water) to shift greasy marks – an inevitable result of having to turn it round to reach the various ports at the rear. Follow that up with a dry microfibre cloth.
Particles on the base that don’t blow off can also be removed with a melamine sponge. It’s a microfibre abrasive when moistened.
@streakmachine My foot, two weeks ago, two weeks after spilling tea over it.
The pink bits are where the blisters formed and are soft new skin.
Now there’s one tiny pink patch near the 2nd toe.
Cell phone contract with carrier expired two years ago. Options then were $1 more per month for ½ the data or 35 GB data for $10 more per month. I stayed where I was for that reason.
Upgraded today from 5.5 GB monthly to 15 GB monthly for the same cost as the expired plan.
