Middle age
This is an older hospital building with poor if any air conditioning. The next three days are expected to average 38°C so I asked s friend to drop off a box fan, which he did this morning. I have it perched stop my rollator walker. It’s doing a fine job. Rather than oscillating, it has a rotating louvre to distribute the air in a wider zone.
The M3 MacBook Airs will technically support two external displays but only while in clamshell mode with the lid closed.
With the arrival of M3 processors in the MacBook Air range, I’ve decided to get one. I’ve chosen the 15-in version with 512 GB storage and 16 GB memory.
I have never felt pain as intense as this without relief. I’m even refusing to take oxycodone because it does nothing to counteract the pain emanating from the knee inflammation.
Arrived by taxi at the hospital about 8.5 hours ago, fare paid by the ambulance service. Massive swelling in the arthritic left knee, impossible to walk without great pain. They’ve extracted some fluid for analysis to determine if the problem is gout or a bacterial infection. The action of draining said fluid have provided significant relief from pain and it’s easier to put weight on it.
There’s no truth to rumours that Apple cancelled their electric car project because they were unable to stop the roof getting all scratched when you turn them upside down to plug in the lightning cable.
It may also be that they couldn’t get it to work with only one pedal…
I was watching a show for about 10 minutes, and this lady was listing all of these great
things to do for fun.
Then I realised that it's one of the religious channels, and she was reading a list of sins.
Last year I bought a Plugable Thunderbolt 4 dock to use with my Mac Mini and a cheap 28-in 4k monitor so I could connect various external devices that have USB-C/Thunderbolt connections. Since purchasing the Apple Studio Display which three 10 Gbps downstream ports (which can each supple up to 15W for charging), I have not used the dock very much.
Today I used it on the MacBook Air to connect a couple of backup drives, which it can easily cope with as the three downstream ports can each handle up to 40 Gbps connection speeds at 15W each.
I thought I'd check the rate at which the dock (with a 5.5A mains power supply) would charge the laptop and found it was 60W, double that of the charger supplied with the Mac.
@variablepulserate We did, thanks. Also had a cup of tea from a thermos brought along for that reason.
