Started doing a surface scan with Tech Tool Pro on an external drive connected to the MacBook Pro which, as an older model, has USB 2, FW 800 or Thunderbolt connections. The Thunderbolt drive interface is in use on the MBA, & a backup drive is in the FW port. TTP reported the scan was going to take over 2 hours.
Out comes the secret weapon: a Kanex Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet/USB 3 adaptor.
With the drive connected via that interface, the test time was cut to 20 minutes.
@c Mine, I suspect. One of my invitations was redeemed 24 minutes ago. One @larand supplied didn't work.

@matigo I may have certain perversions (who hasn't?) but fisting pigs isn't on the list………………………………
Why I love the metric system.
Needing to mix 300 ml in total, consisting of 150 ml of auto transmission fluid & 150 ml of acetone but I don't have a small enough graduated measure. So I used my electronic kitchen scale with an unmarked pouring cup. Set the tare to zero, add 150 grams of water & mark the level with a pen. I now have a pouring cup with a 150 ml measure marked on it.
@thrrgilag 115 incidents of the same post, seems to keep posting it every 60 seconds.
It took three attempts but now Blurbybot is sending 10C notifications via Telegram. Many thanks to both @matigo & @thrrgilag.
