I just did something on the MacBook Pro that was never going to work effectively with the MacBook Air. Shared the 4k iMac's screen in fullscreen mode with no loss of resolution. There were updates needed & I couldn't be bothered getting out of bed.
Observations from a new MacBook Pro user:
1: I miss the startup chime.2: I like the new turn on by lifting the lid feature.
I set an alarm this morning for 6 am using the HomePod. I distinctly recall hearing the alarm and punching madly at the off button to no avail.
Then I was fully awake & aware of the difference between reality & dream-state. In the dream I was trying to turn the alarm off using a timepiece that's not been used that way for a dozen years.
@matigo The first phone number I recall predates automatic exchanges. It was our number on the farm, Jindivick 23.

@matigo All clear. The HP AirPrint printer used to have an actual app for the interface work, but the software on the MacBook Pro (recent download) now operates via its own webpage.
I probably have the old app on the iMac.
When I power down the printer, its LCD screen reminds me it's not using genuine ink.
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.
