MacBook Air now working at the bedside via a 15.4-in monitor. Backups being performed right now.

Seriously annoyed, more expense. During a period of sleep my MacBook Air fell from the bed & landed inverted on something lumpy beside the bed. Result: screen is busted. Needs a new screen. Booked in ASAP with a repairer 40 minutes away on Tuesday afternoon. Looks like I'm headed off to Mum's place tomorrow to reclaim the 2008 MacBook Pro I keep there.

Imported pics from my DSLR to the iPad while travelling today. At home I imported them into Photos app on the MacBook Air from the iPad.
Then the only place in Photos app where I could see them was under Imports. I checked each of 13 photos for incorrect EXIF data, there was none, all was OK.
So where were the photos? I selected one in the Imports section & right-clicked it, choosing "Show in Moment." Which it did. With a date EXACTLY 12 months EARLIER.
I wanted to get these right so I edited the date of each one, if I'd done a batch date change, the times would have been screwed up.
Now they're in the right place .

You need to use the web interface for the router to get into the settings. That is the username & password scenario I meant.

In a lot of cases with routers, the usename and password are both "admin"

Mum's Uncle Geoff used to run this pub in the 1970s.

His wife had been an alcoholic for over 40 years by then. When I got to visit in 1982, he was dying in hospital & his daughter & son-in-law were running it for him. They sold a few years later after the son-in-law, Tony died very suddenly aged 37.

I'd completely forgotten about a Mac app called CoconutBattery, it checks the battery life of the Mac & any iOS devices that are connected via USB sync cable.
An iOs app called Battery Life says my iPhone SE's battery capacity has been reduced by 8% from its full design capacity of 1624 mAh. This is confirmed by CoconutBattery.

Interesting. I’ve been taking high (not excessive) doses of anti-inflammatory meds & have greatly increased the range of pain-free movement in the arthritic left knee. Still not fabulous, but good progress.

Which is what you should ALWAYS do before any upgrade. Also test the backup before installing the new thingie.

I have dozens of blank DVDs, both dual & single layer. But this project was to burn an audio CD & the only one I could find was scratched. So out came the cut & polish for the car. All fixed, burned OK, even though the verification failed.
