I was nodding off on the edge of my bed, book in one hand, half a cup of hot tea in the other. I slid slowly over the edge and wound up kneeling on the floor, without spilling any of my tea.
I'll take that as a win.
@jussipekonen I have an old (at least 15 years) Ryobi 18V cordless hammer drill, the Ni-Cad batteries originally supplied with it barely retain a charge now. I have other devices that can use the same battery, too. A wet & dry hand vacuum cleaner & a twin-tube fluorescent lamp. Fortunately, these tools can also use the One + range of lithium batteries. I have 1.4 Ah & 2.5 Ah batteries that suit these tools. I also have a "Hybrid" 20-LED lamp. This can be run from mains power or one of the lithium batteries.

That was fun. It’s near twilight, I had my headlights on as I entered a shopping centre car park. Confronted by a light truck & trailer approaching and moving for the wrong lane in front of me to the correct one beside me. Waited then was about to move again when an SUV comes barging out of a parking bay right into my path. So I waited for that idiot to move as well. Incompetent twat had to do a 3-point turn to sort herself out.
About to head off again and some almost invisible snot-nosed teen on a scooter (horrid individual was wearing black) appears out of nowhere and almost rode into the side of my car.
I shouted, swore and suggested to numpty-git that perhaps he could wear something other than black and if he wanted to be suicidal, the railway line is just 40 metres away.
I acquired a G3 Pismo PowerBook from a friend a few years ago, it was a bit wonky, would only boot from external drives do to some unexplained internal fault. I use a FireWire CF card reader with Tiger & OS 9 on a 32 GB CF card.
Same friend has just contacted me offering another Pismo in better condition with a working HD & a Belkin WiFi card that fits the same slot as the standard AirPort card but is a faster connection.
I love the Pismos, you can have batteries in either the left or right multi-use bays (or in both bays). Various other drives swap in and out (left-side bay only) so you can choose between CD, DVD, Floppy Disk or zip-drive as needed. Assuming you actually have such drives.
It's fitted with a 500 MHz G3 processor & 1 GB of RAM, plus it has a proper keyboard.
It's all very confusing, really, 2 days ago I bought & set up a new Apple AirPort Extreme wi-fi router. Initially, nothing would connect to the 2.4 GHz channel, this is important because my collection of older Macs, in addition to the Kindle Paperwhite & Lenovo Android 7-in tablet all lack access to the 5 GHz channel.
Something changed or settled down in the last 18 hours, they all access the 2.4 GHz band just fine.
I used an iOS app called Gemini 2 (by MacPaw, of CleanMyMac fame) to search for duplicates and blurred or otherwise unwanted photos on my iPhone. As that device is connected to every other Photo(s) app in iOS or macOS via the magic of iCloud, I removed 500 out of almost 8800 photos.
The app uses the subscription model with three levels: 3-day trial; $2.99 per month or $16.99 per annum. I chose the 3-day trial & then deleted the app & cancelled the trial because I am cheap.
Biopsy on my right upper arm scheduled for Friday afternoon. The skin cancer clinic have been monitoring it for three months.
Unsure if it’s malignant or benign, so it’s coming out.
