Back in the late 1979s, I briefly worked in a bank. On my first day I was instructed to go to the post office and return with some verbal agreement forms.
I spotted the problem immediately, and headed off to a screen printer where a friend worked. Between us we came up with two squares of cotton cloth on which were printed these words: "As verbal agreements are not worth the paper they're printed on, these use cloth. Acceptance of this form implies agreement."
Former Indian cricketer Farokh Engineer's father was a doctor by trade. That's right, he was called Dr Engineer.
Got the "come & collect it" email from Apple today, I was expecting to get it tomorrow. The Apple Store will be open until 9pm tonight, it's 45 minute drive to get there & it's 4:20pm now. I'm to tired today, I'll collect the 128 GB iPod Touch tomorrow.
@larand It's early morning here. I first read that as "spit" pea soup.

I use Epichrome & Google Chrome to make single-site browsers for Cappuccino & Mastodon, amongst others. Google Translate is built-in, with translations into English via a contextual menu. Mighty useful on Mastodon just now.
Men's Shed iMac decided today that it needed to do a full 83 GB Time Machine backup. After two hours, it was just over halfway through the operation & we had to shut up shop in another hour. So I stopped the backup, opened Terminal and entered sudo sysctl debug.lowprithrottleenabled=0 followed by the password. I then restarted the Time Machine backup.
That Terminal script changed the backup from a background operation to one with the highest priority. The remaining 39 GB backed up in about 15 minutes. Tomorrow another backup or two will be done and I'll have to repeat the same caper with Terminal.
There's a more complex process to make the change permanent, but frankly, this one's easy enough. Just do it before a backup in each login session.
