When I make you breakfast in bed, a simple "thank you" is enough. I don't need all this "who are you and how did you get in my house?" bullshit.

In six months of ownership, this M1 MacBook Air has achieved 77 full charge cycles of its battery. It was purchased from the Apple Refurbished stock & when first started up had zero charge cycles.
Oddly, in that same timeframe I have replaced the USB-C charging cable twice: once under warranty after the first one failed within 25 days and once again, this time with the cable that shipped with the 2017 MacBook Pro.

There’s something amiss with Apple USB-C cables, methinks.

Amazon has set up delivery boxes at two nearby shopping centres. They shove your package into whichever receptacle best suits its size and SMS you a code to open the box when you are physically there. Even the Post Office is getting in on the game, setting up their boxes beside the Amazon ones.

I have similar issues with the 7th gen iPod Touch, the soecifications claim it could do 40 hours of video, which is absolute rubbish.

In a wimper, not a bang. I do regret not buying an iPod Nano 7 when they were still around.

At the end of a Zoom meeting I wound up hosting a friend asked my advice on whether he should buy an iPod Touch while there were still some in stock. He added that he was going to upgrade from an iPhone 6S to a 13 Pro, so I suggested his old phone would do most things that an iPod Touch was able to do. I also mentioned that the current Touch had internals much the same as an iPhone 7 but with 2 processor cores disabled. He was satisfied with that answer.

I don’t know how long it runs but affinity.serif.com is having a 50% off Spring Sale. Their software: Affinity Photo, Affinity Publisher & Affinity Design for Mac, PC & iPad are currently half price and best of all, these are software prices, not subscription prices. I now have Affinity Photo on my iMac & M1 MacBook Air. Publisher is not available on the iPad but Photo & Design are.

Thinking aloud: “Is it 11am yet?”
Nope. Missed it by an hour & three minutes.
Good afternoon.

I have two free tier Zoom accounts, one I use for general conferencing & the other for testing of methods & processes. The second account has a picture of a standing albatros as its avatar & the account is in the name of Albert Ross.

Was wondering why my car had developed a rattling sound from the luggage area. It’s a small hatchback, almost ten years old & has covered almost 210,000 km. The rattle only started today.
Soon worked it out: the forearm crutch that’s normally situated immediately behind the front seats was in the luggage area, jammed in diagonally and vibrating against the hard plastic of the tailgate.
