Bought a new bottom mount fridge freezer from a reliable online retailer. Bought it yesterday, it was delivered today and the old one taken away into the bargain.
The delivery driver notices two small dents in one side, and took a photo of them, which he then forwarded to the customer affairs section. They offered me two choices: have this one returned and get a new, undamaged one delivered tomorrow or take the damaged one and receive a 10% refund off the purchase price. I chose the latter option. The device needs 2 hours of operation from when turned on so I can't put stuff into until another 90 minutes have elapsed.
I have erased the old M1 MacBook Air. Being an Apple Silicon device it's really easy, first I deactivated Find My thingy. Then used the Transfer or Reset option in System Settings-->General. Part of that process was signing out of my iCloud account. It's done now, when switched on it opens in Setup Assistant, just like a new Mac.
!5-in MacBook Air has arrived and has been set up via Migration Assistant from the old MacBook Air. vry impressive. Default resolution is 1710 X 1107, if I use 1710 X 1068 instead, the display drops below the notch. But I'm using 1920 X 1243 with the notch. 1920 X 1200 hides the notch.
It's after 2 am, can't get to sleep, initially it was pain in both knees and my dodgy lower back. One strong fast-acting painkiller later, I still can't sleep but at least the intense pain is gone.
@variablepulserate I checked my archive of macOS versions right back to Tiger, 10.4. One was missing: 10.13 High Sierra. As my M1 Mac Mini is too new to install that version, I have used my 2017 4k iMac to perform the download and used AirDrop to transfer it to the Mac Mini.
I had to do the latest Ventura update on the iMac anyway.
@variablepulserate Yes, it’s quite rare. The man has a full time job and balances an active family life as well as being a travelling barber when he can spare the time.
Availed myself of a very rare service today. A travelling barber visited me and gave me a long necessary trim. Did a good job, didn’t take long and I just may have joined his long list of clientele.
@variablepulserate Its rated load limit on flat ground is 185 kg, my place in on flat land.
I can’t allow dirty dishes to accumulate as my damaged lower back protests if I have to lean over the sink for more than a couple of minutes at a time. So it’s wash after each meal.
Another action I was worried about was changing the fitted lower sheet on the single bed mattress but that proved fairly easy earlier today.
I’ve also worked out that I can position a chair in the laundry in such a position that I can reach into my front-loading clothes washer and transfer washed items to the tumble dryer with my left hand.
