A Lovely 10C Site!

@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.

@variablepulserate TRY COOKING IT.

That’s what I call a smart charger. It’s from the new MacBook Pro.
Variable outputs: 20.3v; 9v or 5.2v.

@variablepulserate Yes, because it uses a 12-pin/16-pin PCI Express connection.

@variablepulserate The SSD comes out with one screw, trouble is reusing it: compatible USB enclosures start at $140.

If ever I have to fry food, I use ghee as the medium. It’s been a bit hard to find locally until recently. Seems like every little satellite shopping centre in every new suburban development gets an Indian/Sri Lankan grocery. My needs are now met in a local shop rather than having to travel west or southwest for 25 minutes.

Time to do wot I do best on a cold Sunday afternoon. Sleep.

@variablepulserate I ain’t, it didn’t.

@jws No. Standard Lightning cable with a USB-C to USB-A adaptor. I'm expecting delivery of a 7-port Thunderbolt 3 hub in a week or so. That way I can keep using the older peripherals without a mass of dongles.

Apple offers a new 13-in MB Pro without Touch Bar and it's equipped with the Kaby Lake (15 Watt) processors, the Touch Bar models have bigger, faster & more power-hungry Kaby Lake gear.

While Apple offers a Touch Bar-free 15-in MB Pro, what they don't tell you is that it's the 2015 model, retained as an entry-level device.
That said, it's a 2.2 GHz quad-core i7 and is still a far better performer than ANY 13-in MB Pro, even the 3.5 GHz dual-core 3.5 GHz i7.
