And some bastard is doing an unannounced fireworks display.
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.
