Tired of the Magsafe 1 connector on this MBP getting dislodged because it's the "L-type" connection. Next time I go to Mum's place I'll swap the power supply with the 2008 pre-Unibody MBP that lives there: it uses the superior "T-type" connection. Both supplies are rated at 85 watts.
It used to be, not long ago, something of a trial to deposit cash or cheques an an ATM. First extract the deposit envelope, fill out the details on the integrated deposit slip & insert it along with any cheques or notes, then, while the queue that's building behind you gets frustrated at your slowness, insert the filled envelope into the belly of the beast.
Now, though, you insert cash notes, cheques or a combination of the two up to 40 items directly into the machine, which scans each item & adds up the totals.
If there were any cheques in the deposit, you can opt to have scanned images of them printed on the back of the issued receipt.
Too easy.
@matigo It's possible, in less than two weeks (there's a 2-week trial version on the website, full version on the MAS) it brought the battery on the MBA up from 87% to 91%.

I haven't exactly been treating the battery in the MBP properly, 62 charge cycles in 5 years & 5 months. I've started using FruitJuice app to maintain/monitor my battery use. Here's what it says about my battery:
I'm currently running maintenance cycle using the app. I'm to discharge it to 20% then reconnect the power until it's topped up, then repeat as instructed by the app's notifications. There's also a daily target for running on battery.
@matigo The iPhone 4 & 4S were horrors for overheating, being glass front & back. When I used my 4S with navigation apps, it would to get so hot internally that I had to direct airflow from the air conditioning in the car to cool it down. It wasn't uncommom for it to go into overheat mode & effectively shut down.
In the last three days I've driven over 1200 km with the iPhone SE in a LifeProof Nuud case used with various nav apps. Never at any stage did it even warm up.

@kdfrawg I have it on good authority that by the time Apple get around to producing the iPhone 8, it will exist in two dimensions only. The thickness question will be answered by it being totally eliminated.

How slang changes over the years. 82-yr-old aunt talking about her teenaged grandchild to my 86-yr-old mother: "Have a look at the puss on that."
She was talking about the child's smile.
