@phoneboy The Chief Justice of the Western Australian Family Court was not permitted to be involved in my nephew’s divorce. Mainly because he was the then wife’s father.

Tonight on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Data is trapped in an addictive game called ioquake3 but they ran out of the special effects budget and just solved everything with a meeting.
@matigo The speaker quality on the M1 MacBook Air is surprisingly good, especially the stereo separation. In my main bedroom I have a stereo pair on HomePod Minis, one on each side of the bed. So choosing to listen to music through the HomePods & the built-in speakers can be very pleasant.

@matigo In September last year a friend & his wife were stuck in Alice Springs in Australia’s Northern Territory, trying with a original iPhone SE & iPad Mini to negotiate COVID conditions online for access into the neighbouring state of Western Australia. Their issue was the fumble-finger faults with using such tiny keyboards. So they went hunting in various computer & electrical stores for a suitable external keyboard, until finding at their very last shop (an office supply place) a new M1 MacBook Air.
This was the answer to their prayers.
@matigo There’s an app for that: check out remote Mouse: I sometimes use an iPad or the iPhone as a trackpad or keyboard it the real items need their batteries charged.
Taking ridiculous amounts of anti-inflammatory medication, as previously approved by my GP. He says while a normal dose is two capsules three times daily, I can , if really needed, take a full dozen of the things without ill effect.
