I found a good use for the iPhone Mirroring app on my MacBook Air. With a particular banking app it's easier to use the phone app rather than a web browser. I had to pay a tradesman three separate transactions: one of 5% to confirm the job quote, another of 50% to cover purchase of materials and then the final balance.
I had the invoice in the Xero website on one side of the display and the iPhone Mirroring on the other side, making it easier to ensure I had the bank transfer details correct before sending the payment.
It's a great method of working with an iPhone, I hope Apple extends it to the iPad soon.
@matigo That’s all in software updates anyway. Plus, iOS 18 was issued without any of the AI features activated.
I’ve tried selling my M1 MacBook Air for the past 5 months but there were no takers. Today I sent it off to a company that buys back Apple kit like phones, iPads and computers, offering far greater prices than any trade-in offerings. I should get the sum credited to my bank account early next week.
A little over 14 years ago I noticed the guttering and downpipes on my three bedroom unit were leaking. Really they needed replacing then. Finally got around to it a couple of weeks ago and the job started yesterday was finished today. There are seven free-standing units on the block, mine is the only one with Body Corporate approved new Surf Mist (sort of off-white) coloured gutters and downpipes. The others have burgundy gutters and mission brown downpipes. A few years ago the owners voted that Surf Mist was to be the only colour to use when replacing gutters.
OK, that's got all my toys updated to the new versions. Two Apple Silicon Macs on macOS 15; five HomePods on HomePodOS 18; two iPads on iPadOS 18, Apple TV on tvOS 18 and the iPhone on iOS 18. There was no update for the Apple Watch.
The HomePods consist of a stereo pair of Minis, a stereo pair of 2nd gen big ones and a single 1st gen big one. A single HomePod updates in the same amount of time as a stereo pair.
My method of bringing in the 240 litre recycling bin and the 120 litre rubbish bin is to insert the smaller one into the larger then carry the larger one on the mobility scooter by the hooks intended for carrying a walker. Yesterday I popped the small one into the larger one but it didn’t go all the way. Some arsehole had added their own recycling to my bin. I quickly dumped that shit on the verge before collecting the bins in the normal manner. A few hours later the excess recycling had been removed.
@variablepulserate There's a perforated insert in the two vases, the centre one had no more available holes.
@variablepulserate I didn't ask for a price match. I merely observed that Amazon was selling the same thing for a dollar less.
Three possible sources of a new set of Apple AirPods Pro 2: Apple: A$399; Local electrical retailer: A$335 or Amazon: A$334. I visited the local store today, they were in stock. I mentioned that Amazon were selling them at $1 less so he matched the price.
Got them home and the inserts don't suit my ears. However, I had previously bought some memory foam inserts for the 1st series AirPods Pro and there were four pairs of them: small, medium and two sets of large, so I fitted the spare set of large ones. Problem solved.
