Two weeks of use later, the M1 MacBook Air has had 6 full charge cycles.
Gave my 2017 4k iMac (quad-core 3.0 GHz/16 GB RAM/1TB SSD/Radeon Pro 555 2 GB dedicated graphics) a simple Handbrake conversion. It took 31.5 minutes. The same video with the same conversion parameters was done in 13.3 minutes on the M1 MacBook Air (7-core GPU/8-coreCPU/8GB Unified Memory/256 GB storage).
No side effects yet from my 3rd Covid 19 dose. It was NOT a booster, I'm immunocompromised & need 3 doses to bring my antibody production up to the same level as normal double-dosed folk. The first two injections were Astrazeneca, this latest was Pfizer.
Ferociously angry with the courier Amazon used to send a large package to my address. The company is under the impression that its name is "Couriers Please." I submit it would be far more accurate to rename themselves "Couriers Displease."
The package was sent to the wrong address. It had to go to Unit 4, number 4 x-street, somewheretown. Nope, these useless arseholes sent it to Unit 5, number 4, my next-door neighbour. So I was able to retrieve it, but you'd think the delivery person would confirm the unit number that's clearly on each front door and the adjoining post supporting the porch. I have expressed my displeasure & opened an enquiry case with said courier.
I heard that by law you need to turn on your headlights when it's raining in Sweden.
How the hell am I supposed to know when it's raining in Sweden? @streakmachine
The Mac App Store app has a setting where you can view & download iPhone & iPad apps onto an apple Silicon Mac. One such app that works brilliantly on my MB Air is the Pnut.io app ChimpNut.
Open the MAS app on your Apple Silicon Mac, click on your Apple ID in the lower left corner then click the "iPhone & iPad apps" tab.
It's potluck as to whether apps intended for a touch interface will work correctly on a Mac but it's certainly worth trying. @literary
M1 MBA has arrived & works well. Battery indicator suggest expected battery life is 19 hrs & 26 minutes.
MacBook Air arrived a day earlier than expected. Setting it up to replicate the old MacBook Pro via a Time Machine drive. I was able to charge the MBP & do a clone & a Time Machine backup.
