Amazing what fresh ink cartridges will do for an inkjet printer.
I put in for a return on the not quite right Thunderbolt 3 hub and the seller wasn’t prepared to pay the return postage. The item cost $32.94, they offered a $15.44 partial refund & said keep the device.
So I ordered another similar device for $46 including delivery- this one behaves properly.
Meanwhile Amazon has refunded the full $32.94.
So I’m actually a few dollars ahead & have two T/bolt 3 hubs.
The first one is going into the Mac User Group multi-device A/V connector bag for use by any guest presenter with a suitable MacBook Pro.
@variablepulserate Not sure a funeral of a favourite relative is a good destination.
Motel booked for Saturday night. Aunt’s funeral is on Saturday at 11am. If I head off a little after 5 am it’ll leave plenty of time for refreshment/fuel/toilet breaks on the way. Driving time is around 4 hours.
@jextxadore The Pismo was the world’s first laptop to have FireWire. With two good batteries installed it was allegedly able to go for 10 hours.

Looks like I’m the only one from here able to get to my aunt’s funeral, whenever it is. Unknown as yet. One brother is in Queensland, the other stuck in Sydney, my younger sister will be in NZ on holiday & Mum’s to immobile to travel.
It’s a four-hour non-stop trip to get there, I’ll make regular stops a few times and allow six hours for the trip.
Attend funeral, wake & family gathering before crashing at a motel & heading home the following day.
@hazardwarning While there’s no system-wide font increase settings, you can set desktop & finder windows’ fonts as desired. Safari has a setting for “do not show fonts smaller than …”
Mail has adjustable fonts.

Post-midnight snack: rum & raisin ice cream. 6.4% rum & raisin. Unfortunately the rum is only 0.4%.
@gtwilson A $20 Thunderbolt 3 multi-port adaptor can give HDMI, USB C, T/Bolt 3, SD & micro SD card plus 2 x USB 3.0 ports. Sits in the side of the MacBook Pro connected to both T/Bolt 3 ports.
That gives me Air’s ports & 13-in retina display.

@sumudu I, on the other hand, regularly 2 or 3 times per month, present aspects of using a Mac to various interest groups at a Mac User Group. For this I need both USB & HDMI connections and often an SD card is added to the mix.
