@variablepulserate The greener grass on the other side may be indicative of a septic tank problem……

This time 12 months ago, I was feeling very off colour, booked in for a visit to my GP ASAP the following day, but the 1st available slot was 11:45 am on Tuesday. I was shunted off to hospital via ambulance almost immediately with no discernible blood pressure.
Over the next three days the staff of 2 hospitals staved off sepsis & restored function to my kidneys. GP said a week later if I’d been 6 hours later in seeing him I may not have survived.
Sobering stuff.
My iPhone SE’s battery performance had begun to drop dramatically, for example it went from fully charge to 53% in six hours doing nothing but being on stand-by, no apps were running.
I arranged for replacement of the battery, that cost AU$75 & was done today. The Genius Bar fellow says Apple considers a battery should be OK up to 500 charges, mine had undergone 698 charge cycles. The Genius man said most of the battery replacements he saw were done between 700 & 800 cycles, so mine was just about into that area.
A terrific Mac app called Coconut Battery can display the battery & storage levels of any iOS jigger that’s connected to a Mac via USB cable.
I have a universal battery charger, made for NiCd/NiMH 3.6v; 7.2v & 9v batteries plus AA & AAA cells with a 500 mAh USB port for charging other things. It’s 12v power supply fried itself so I replaced it with a different unit. Last night the smoke got out of the replacement unit & it smells horrid. I’m scare to use it.
But both have the same 12v input specifications, so the power brick for the replacement device works fine with the original one.
@joanna Sure there’s issues. If you don’t update there’s a risk of it being hijacked. Apple mistakenly unpatched a previously-patched vulnerability to KNOB attacks, (Key Negotiation Of Bluetooth), which can lead to devices being jailbroken by remote control by malicious parties.

@variablepulserate Be very useful for the more hirsute types who appear to have a single eyebrow……

@hazardwarning I love it in milk, only takes a little to slightly curdle & thicken up a bit. Serve over ice.
I got that idea from Twitter years ago, from interaction with a Doctor Who scriptwriter (Tom Baker era).
Especially good served hot.
// @matigo It contains the juice of grapes, raspberries and blackcurrants plus sugar (in a 3% concentration), flavoured with herbs and spices.
@matigo Simple: the IS NO Australian version. You get UK-market or Arabian-market (I have a couple of those bottles, the bottling plant is in Cyprus). The middle east product seems to be much more concentrated, it has a thicker consistency & will settle in the bottle if left too long. Shake it up to recombine.
