I have just realised that the Samsung T5 ext SSD’s security setup can be turned off. While on, it initially mounts on the desktop as from a hidden & non-removable password=protected partition. Entering the password unmounts the hidden partition & mounts the actual SSD itself.
Deactivating the security partition means it acts as a conventional external drive.
@variablepulserate There are mitre saws that cut at various angles with the blade vertical. Compound mitre saws add the ability to tilt the blade as well. Mitre saws & compound mitre saws pivot in a vertical-oriented arc to cut the material. A sliding compound mitre saw adds the advantage of a radial arm saw to the mix, meaning you pivot the saw down first, then push it forward through the material. Sliding saws can cut much wider stuff.
The State Men’s Shed organisation is grouped into Clusters, our Shed has traditionally & geographically been affiliated with the Sheds in the southeastern rural region of Victoria but recently we were invited to participate in another Cluster, based in the southeastern suburbs of Melbourne & the Mornington Peninsula.
At every Cluster gathering there are donated powertools raffled off.
Thus far, we’ve attended two Southern Clusted gatherings, our Secretary going along two months ago to the inaugural Southern Cluster meeting (in the rural Cluster we’d been attending them for over 8 years) and our Shed won the main prize of an airless (no compressor needed) spray painting device.
Earlier today I attended the second such meeting for the Cluster, again we came away with the main prize, a 10-inch circular sliding compound mitre saw. We already have a larger, better example with a 12-inch. blade, so we’ll offer this new device for any members to buy for their home workshops. Already have had a firm offer of $100, approx half its retail value.
@joeo10 I baulked at the upgrade price for version X so I stumped up for a prepaid 12-month subscription (thus saving 10%) for the Setapp suite.
@joeo10 I just updated Vivaldi myself, using the Updater built into CleanMyMac X.
@larand He was a dancer in real life, probably the most nimble & physically adept of all the actors on F Troop. Which made it extra funny to see him bumbling & stumbling around the set.

With the help of a short video tutorial by Don McAllister from ScreenCasts Online, I’m able to understand & enjoy using some of the new file arranging tools in Mojave. For example, my Documents folder is sorted using Group by application.
Also liking the really handy Continuity Camera feature. Gallery view is superior to Cover Flow, too, with extra Preview view options, also in common with Column view.
@matigo Now only used by one large manufacturer of brewed soft drinks. Not beer.
