@matigo He's getting beer this year. That might last a week.
An alarm had gone off in a nursing home, apparently one of the residents was playing a bit of a prank. Certainly there was no fire.
Last Xmas I gave one brother a $20 Google Play Store gift card because he has an Android phone. These cards are good for 12 months & he has never redeemed the value of the card, just left it in a drawer at Mum's place. I recall it was a couple of days before Xmas last year that I bought the card, so I felt there was a chance it would come in under twelve months if redeemed today.
It did, & now I have $20 in my Google Play Store account. I'll use it for books & movies & reimburse $20 to my brother.
Emergengy services app said "Building fire in your watch zone, 1km distant." Then, one minute later I hear the sirens from the fire appliances. They're right on the ball.
Had to burn a DVD with the MacBook Air today, couldn't find the Apple USB Superdrive so I dragged out the old standby: a Sony USB DL DVD burner that needs external power & USB to make it work. I bought that at about a 50% discount in 2007 to use with a recalcitrant 14-inch iBook. I've since located the Superdrive.
Apple fixes the new MacBook Pro battery life issues in macOS Sierra 10.12.2 by removing 'Time Remaining' Battery Life Indicator.

A bit like Nissan & their 3.0 litre turbo-diesel oil level problem from several years ago: not enough oil was in the sump so Nissan retrofitted affected vehicles with a shorter dipstick.
"Turning on wi-fi will increase location efficiency." Gee, thanks, Apple. I'm using a navigation app & there's no wi-fi. Fuck off.
@larand It wasn't a whole lot better with the 2006 Honda Jazz (Fit) I used to have. The job had to be done from inside the front wheel well and was easier with the wheel removed.
That was weird. Tried to use the cameras on the iPod Touch but the screen was black. I tried other apps with camera access with no trouble at all. Back to the camera app, still black. So I reset the device. Now the camera works properly. Go figure.
