The Mac User Group has agreed to pay me the outstanding balance of $18 after the vendor completes their partial refund of $15. That way I'll not be out of pocket & the Group will be able to loan the connector to any presenters who have the right computer but no video connector.
Just downloaded new maps for the HereWeGo app on the iPhone. The Maps Manager section showed 2.14 GB of free space after the update. I thought that was a bit low, it’s a 64 GB phone & has photo storage optimised and very little music downloaded to it.
I checked Settings>General>About after closing the navigation app & it showed over 18 GB free. Most odd.
Retailer of dodgy Thunderbolt 3 hub doesn't wish to pay for the return postage of an unsuitable item. Neither do I. The postage was included in the original purchase price. Their counter offer is to allow me to keep the thing and offer a refund of 45% of the purchase. Fine by me. I'll donate or sell the offending thing to the Mac User Group as a raffle prize & alter the packaging to show it only supports USB 2·0.
Ripped off by an Amazon seller.
The 7-port Thunderbolt 3 hub for the MacBook Pro arrived today. I tried it immediately, the HDMI, two Thunderbolt 3, microSD & SD card ports work as advertised. But the bastards have skimped on the USB ports. The are coloured blue & advertised as being USB 3·0 but it's shown in System Information app that they're only USB 2·0.
Filthy whores.
Left scathing review.
At least the colour matches that of the Mac.
My spare phone is a Lumia 1520 on a fixed price data plan that’s just been updated from 48 GB to 80 GB for no extra cost.
Last year was my first on that plan, new users are restricted to 42 GB p.a.
So I started with 42 GB, after renewal of the plan it became 48 GB, now it’s 80.
@hazardwarning I had astigmatism. The opticians were also keeping track of my developing cataracts. In December 2016 I went in to get a new prescription only to be told there was little than new lenses could fix, such was the state of the cataracts.
The following year, between April & July, I had the cloudy lenses removed & corrective artificial ones inserted, which rectified the astigmatism issue. I now have 20:20 vision in one eye & life in general is way better.
I still use glasses but only for reading/computer work.
