@hybotics What happens to Charlie in the meantime? Is she being looked after? Get well soon, Dale.
My spare cellphone’s 365-day call/data pack ran out today, so I recharged it. I felt 42 BG of data was reasonable last year, only used 34 GB.
This time I’m an existing customer so I get 48 GB.
Blast & bloody damn it. Last night’s brushcutting & chainsawing plus rubbish removal has strained my bad shoulder.
@hazardwarning My limited understanding of the salted caramel trend was as a chocolate enhancer.
Been trying to figure out why the Men’s Shed iMac’s screensaver was starting so soon after the last mouse/keyboard input.
Found out why today: screensaver had been set to start after one minute of inactivity. Now reset to ten minutes.
Tried cloning via the other T/bolt cable: failed. Write errors. Now checking status of Thunderbolt port itself. I have a T/bolt-to-USB 3.0/Gigabit Ethernet adaptor available, so I’ve connected the drive via the reliable USB 3 SATA interface and the clone process is yet to report errors. So it seems the Seagate GoFlex Thunderbolt/SATA adaptor I bought about 5 years ago is fuct.
I’d bought it to use with both the 2011 MBA & MBP computers I used to operate. Now the new iMac & used (one previous owner -Apple) 2014 MBA have USB 3 ports (plus Thunderbolt 3 on the iMac) so I don’t t really need the T/bolt/SATA adaptor.
You can’t get them any more, or not for any reasonable price.
Successful error-free clone made over USB 3 connection, kept reporting write errors when using the Thunderbolt cable & drive interface
No errors reported by SuperDuper! app, cloning process 67% complete. Seems the drive is OK.
Struck read/write errors on a Thunderbolt 1-attached SuperDuper! backup drive. I’ve has suspicions about the T/bolt cable for a while. Fortunately, for this Seagate GoFlex interface I also have a pair of USB 3 interfaces & a FireWire 800 adaptor, so I’m trying the backup clone again, this time on USB 3. Thus far, no errors reported.
I have another T/bolt cable somewhere so I’ll use a process of elimination to work out if it’s the other cable or the interface that’ Going wonky.
