@variablepulserate Mattresses on the floor are completely useless for people like me who have mobility issues: once down it's extremely difficult to get up to a decent working height. I have extreme osteoarthritis in one knee and a degenerative lower back condition. I'm never totally without lower back pain.

Some 15 hours ago my car collided with the next one ahead of it in very slow-moving school-pickup-time traffic. Sufficiently slow that the plastic bumpers of both vehicles absorbed the entire impact force without sustaining any damage to vehicles or passengers.
@whoisashygirl So, while NBN to me means National Broadband Network, to you it's No Bloody Network? I used to work for Telstra & still have the old superseded microfiche plans of the area. Using those I was able to determine that my conversion from ADSL 2+ to FTTN was only going to have 135 metres of phoneline – including internal wiring – downstream of the node. That's about as good as one can expect. I'm averaging around 99% of the connection speed I'm paying for, again quite acceptable.
@hybotics Perhaps this app could help? It turns an Android phone or tablet into a keyboard over wifi or Bluetooth.

There's an app on Setapp called Unite, which I tried using to create Site Specific Browsers, or SSBs. I tried it but didn't like the size of the resultant web-apps.
Today I noticed another similar app, also on Setapp, called Coherence Pro. It allows for much more control of web-apps it produces, So it looks like I'll be converting some of my Fluidapp apps over to Coherence Pro ones.
@axodys This is how I reckon an electric truck should be done: https://bollingermotors.com

The USB-C charge cable that came with the MacBook Pro split its casing just below one of the connectors, I sealed that up with some UV LED-cured liquid plastic, now I’ll keep that cable as a spare. When used for data transfer, it’s USB 2 speed, up to 480 Mbps.
Bought an $18 braided USB-C cable from Amazon, it’s half the length of the original but claims to be able to transfer data at up to 5 Gbps & still be able to supply the full 60W power the Mac needs.
It arrived today, I connected a Samsung T5 ext SSD to the Mac & checked the connection with System Info app.
It isn’t just up to 5 Gbps, it’s up to 10 Gbps, the same as the half-metre long USB-C cable supplied with the T5.
Rather than Apple’s notoriously fragile soft rubbery coating, this cable has a stiffer & much longer-wearing braided nylon outer jacket.
Comparing a RAM & processor-upgraded 13-in MBP compared with the base model 16-in MBP.
