Exceptionally stupid error message when attempting to use a store's iOS app. There is no newer version of iOS.

The the app announced by another error message that the app itself no longer worked and a newer, better version had replaced it.

Then the app reverted to a poorly-displayed version of the website, all COMPLETELY WITHOUT ANY LINKS to the new version. I had to find that with a manual search of the app store.

WANKERS.

There has been a minor bug fix update released (version 7.7.8/7.6.8)

http://www.macrumors.com/2016/12/20/apple-airport-base-station-firmware-update/

You won't see it unless you open Airport Utility and click on the Airport/Time Capsule icon to bring up the details window which should now have an Update button to click on.

Initially my Airport Express failed to update then vanished from the network. I really must replace it's Ethernet cable: it doesn't always seat properly in the broadband router's Ethernet ports.

After rejigging the Ethernet connection the update went ahead OK.

There you go again.

Wine-ing.

On Saturday morning I ordered a 50-piece cutlery set online as the physical shops had all sold out. The store's website indicated that any chance of the item being delivered before Xmas had lapsed.

The item was delivered this morning, three days after being ordered. Colour me impressed.

Get off my lawn. Both of you.

I was mistaken, it wasn't the Nokia ringtone, it was the default iPhone ringtone. ToxicEternity, anyone? https://alpha.app.net/jussipekonen/post/68881108

Thought I was clever having a magnetically activated pet door for my cat ? to enter & no other cats can get in cos they don't have a magnet on their collar. But now you can get doors that are unlocked by the critter's implanted microchip ID. They are double the price of magnetic ones, though.

Just remembered other cooling optios available: a big portable evaporative cooler I can put in the bedroom, or a portable refrigerated A/C I have hiding in a wardrobe. I'll try the fan first.

I'm using a heavy-metal version of the classic Nokia ringtone on my iPhone. It's from a post put up several months ago on ADN.
