Not enough free space on the iPad to install the update, so I deleted two apps totalling 1045 MB, this worked fine. After reinstalling those two big apps I have 2.78 GB free. Won't matter after Friday: I should be getting my new 128 GB iPad.
@larand At least you had the option to go with cable. Until August last year my options were dial-up; various flavours of ADSL or 3G/4G. I managed for a few years on ADSL 2+ theoretically up to 25 Mbps if you were within a kilometre of the telephone exchange. I'm 2.5 km out and ADSL 2+ drops off sharply beyond 2 km. Best I ever got was 10.5 down & 1.1 up. Between 2005 & 2012 I was on ADSL 1, getting 1.3 Mbps down & 250 Kbps up.
I'm now on a FTTN with the node being 140 metres of phone cable away from my place. I pay for 25 Mbps down/5 Mbps up and generally get 94% of those rates.

And now for something completely different. White chocolate icecream with raspberry sauce & white chocolate pieces scattered throughout.

@indigo Fluid has been basically unusable for the last three years. Give up on it. There's better ways, I use Epichrome, an AppleScript thingy that uses Chrome to make site-specific browsers on my Macs. It's a little fiddly compared to Fluid but its very workable.
Plus, because the SSB uses Chrome behind it, you can translate on-the-fly.

@indigo Huh? Nice.social is still a thing?
This is sorcery! Burn the witch!

One of the big supermarket chains currently has a particular gourmet icecream at ½ price. Went to but some today, but all the packs in that freezer we well short of being properly frozen - obviously they'd only recently been loaded in there.
Elsewhere in the store there's a Special Deal freezer & I was able to get the right stuff (& properly frozen) from there to satisfy my craving.
@whoisashygirl That is shiteful. Technically, such speeds are available on plain ordinary ADSL 1. That said, I could never get better that 10.5 Mbps when I used ADSL 2+, just too far from the local exchange. In my case, the NBN is faster by a factor of almost 3. I'm only paying for the basic 25 down/5 up package.
Weird weather today, now it's 18℃, gentle rain falling. Heavy rain has eased off, earlier the temperature was over 30℃. Got to get some grocery shopping done shortly.
