Nine years ago I paid $40 for an 8 GB USB 2.0 stick, that was actually cheap in those bygone days. Today I bought a 32 GB USB 3.0 stick for $14.50.
I used to have a clone of an earlier macOS on a 120 GB external SSD for testing/troubleshooting purposes, but today I changed that. I used TechTool Pro to make a MacOS Basics bootable diagnostic drive. While setting up the drive I discovered extra apps could be added to it, so I added DiskWarrior to the list.
This is a bare SSD with a SATA interface. I can use USB 2.0/3.0, Thunderbolt 1 or FireWire 800 adaptors to boot up various Macs with the drive. These two pics show the diagnostic apps available on the drive.
Checking my details with my home contents insurer, I found the credit card info was wrong. The card shown had expired in June 2015 but the issuing bank had never picked up on the error. All payments had still been accepted.
Insurer's website sucks great sweaty, hairy donkey balls.
The error page says "Credit card expired. Add new credit card."
One would, logically think that said website therefore had a place where such details could be updated. But no, not this one. Would it fucken kill the website wizards to include the information that such details can't be added online? Whoring cunts. Updated info via phone call.
I cannot understand how I managed to leave this
behind at a combined PC/Mac User Group meeting last Sunday.
But I did leave it there, I just called the venue & they have found a cable matching its description. I'll collect it on Friday, tomorrow's a public holiday/day of mourning depending on one's ethnicity.
If I were to mention "cheeto-faced shit-gibbon" there'd be no doubt as to who I refer, right?
Allegedly, my Apple ID is now in use on a new iPad. Which is bullshit. All I did with the iPad was update the software.
Downloading iTunes 12.5.5 & macOS 10.12.3 Combo updater - I have three Macs to apply the OS update to and four can take the new iTunes. @.04 GB for the Combo Updater.
Also updating the iPod Touch, iPhone SE & iPad Mini 2 to iOS 10.2.1.
ClamXav Sentry on the 12-in PowerBook running Leopard (OS X 10.5.8) has just quarantined a nasty thingie. Deleted.
