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.
Received notification I've reached the top of the beta list for using Stash app. Phew, I thought they'd forgotten my interest. See Stash.ai for more info.
I had to edit the location information on a photo taken recently with my iPhone. I use Photos app on the Mac & because such changes can be done in iPhoto, I naturally (and incorrectly) assumed I could also do it in Photos.
Nope, no can do. SO I exported the photo to the desktop, added it to iPhoto & made the required changes there. I then made sure to check the box "Include location info" while exporting it from iPhoto.
I then imported it to Photos and trashed the incorrect pic.
Thanks, Apple, for making things so easy.*

@indigo Don't do that: removing a Mac laptop's battery will trigger a go slow mode. See http://www.tomshardware.com/news/apple-macbook-pro-battery-benchmarks,6643.html
