I’ve run out of medication to combat the arthritis in my knee, so before it seizes up completely I should stock up. Hey, I won’t have to do that again until next year.
@matigo Better than ever. It has 6 GB of RAM & a new 240 GB SSD. Plus as it predates Unibody Macs, it has the proper keyboard. Nothing newer than El Capitan will run on it but that’s a good system.
Who woulda thunk it? I spotted the 2008 MBP in a pawn shop four years ago & bought it mostly as a hobby Mac. At the time I also had a 2011 MBP & a 2011 MBA. The 2011 MBP died & was replaced by a 4k iMac. Now the 2014 MBA that replaced the 2011 model needs a new screen, so the “hobby” MBP becomes the best one untilthe current Air gets fixed.
I just finished a quick three-minute wash/rinse at the local car wash using the Eezy Wash iOS (Android also available) app.
First you select the car wash location from the list. Next which service, be it auto wash, fragrance, vacuum, self-service bay or a vending machine. There’s no dog wash here.
Then choose the price/time interval. I just has a bit of dust to shift, so I opted for the $2/3-minute item.
After a 15-second pause three minutes appeared in the wash bay display. A receipt for $2 (18 cents tax) was also emailed to me.
Each individual machine in these car wash establishments has a relevant number. I’m parked beside vacuum 3 & I used self-service wash bay 2.
@kdfrawg It gets worse. Normally I use it with the duckhead attached to the power brick, this time I had the extension cord in operation. Can you guess what it landed on, inverted?
Yep, the power supply lying on the floor.
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 .
@sumudu You need to use the web interface for the router to get into the settings. That is the username & password scenario I meant.
@sumudu In a lot of cases with routers, the usename and password are both "admin"
