Off on a cheese-hunting expedition to a factory an hour away. They do goat & cow’s milk. Another 5 km away is a supermarket that sells water buffalo-milk cheese from a cheesery that’s at least 4 hours away by car. Plus there’s a chocolate factory nearby.
I have a large portable evaporative cooler connected to the mains power via a remote controlled power adaptor. Lately, the remote controller hasn’t been working. A few minutes ago I started dismantling the device to see if there were any loose connections. With the first of three screws partially removed, I spotted a code reset button. Pressing this restored functionality to the controller.
@gtwilson Feeling for you, buddy. My own injuries from the collision 4 weeks ago that killed my last car have mostly subsided. The visible bruising on my chest & belly (from the pyrotechnically-activated seatbelt pretensioner) have gone but the groin strain is still somewhat evident.
@matigo Years ago the easiest time of the year working for the BigPhoneCompany was the couple of days between Xmas & the new year. Officially called the "intervening days" they were colloquially referred to as the "interfering days" instead. There was usually very little urgent work & the pace was easy.

Found a good iOS battery monitor app. It tells me my iPhone SE’s battery wear level is 8%, which means in effect that the device’s 1.8 GHz processor has been slowed by 8%. 8% is low battery wear. App info: Battery Life by RBT Digital LLC.
Trying to link to the Amazon app dev’s website is a complete disaster, it’s a dead link. Utterly useless arrogant CUNTS.
Fucking Amazon. You can select Australia as one of the English-speaking countries on the list in Settings with the iPhone app. But not with the iPad app that has the same version number. No good trying to link to the app’s website, either, the link redirects you to Amazon Canada.
Consequently I use the web app on iPad instead of the fucked-out shitful “official” iPad app.
A yacht competing in the Sydney-Hobart race starting today has an all-female crew and is named Grace O’Malley in honour of the Elizabethan-era Irish “pirate queen” of the same name.
@matigo When she bought the old one it was sold to her as being a “digital TV” which was just coming into vogue at the time. The only digital aspect of it was related to its audio components.
So when analogue TV was discontinued a set-top box was needed to convert the signal to analogue. Three remotes were needed, one for satellite Pay TV, one for digital channels and one for the TV itself. Now down to two remotes, much better.
