Lately I’ve found my 2013 Logitech K760 solar keyboard suddenly disconnecting from the iMac for no obvious reason. One thing lacking in this keyboard is any battery level indicator. The keyboard has some nice features in addition to the solar-charged internal battery: three separate Bluetooth channels for instant connection to three distinct devices; Home button for use with iPad/iPhone and the ability to go for three months on a single battery charge.
This tendency to suddenly disconnect from the iMac started soon after I bought the M1 MacBook Air. Quite simply, the iMac often went for a week without use, with the computer & keyboard in a darkened room.
The poor keyboard just wasn’t given the chance to get recharged.
For iPadOS 15 & iOS 15 iPads & iPhones, here’s how to automatically start low power mode & how to stop it when the battery level has increased again.
Spent three hours today in the shade of a big oak tree in a picturesque park some 75 minutes from home. There was live music from a few soloists grouped together & from a properly-established local 3-piece band. The latter has an average age of almost 82. It was a gathering of Men’s Shed groups from all over the area, the 2nd time this informal event was held. I’d gone hoping to hear the 86-yr-old saxophonist, he was in splendid form this time too.
@sumudu My approach would be to upload the photos to Dropbox, iCloud or similar & add the URL to the posting. If you have Setapp, there’s a terrific app called Dropshare that can do the job.

Fifteen hours ago a heavy rain & thunderstorm came through here. Roads were flooded, part of the leisure centre’s roof caved in forcing them to close the 24/7 gym access. And my gas hot water system stopped working when a circuit breaker was tripped.
This is an instantaneous natural gas unit with no pilot light. Instead it has a 230 volt mains-powered auto-igniter. With a power cord 8 inches too short to reach the external power outlet originally intended for the ducted gas heating the shifty previous owner installed. I stopped using it because it was too big & inefficient for a dwelling of this size, 950 sq ft (88 sq metres). The unit is one intended for a 200 sq metre building.
I had connected 1 metre power cord & connected the short lead to it, enclosing it in a weatherproof junction box but that over time had become brittle from UV radiation & leaked, allowing water in, hence the protective circuit breaker tripping.
On my M1 MacBook Air I have a hardware megastore’s iOS app installed, so I used it to determine the availability of a better power cord junction cover.
I found this one (looks like a weird submarine) which is UV stable & has an internal rubber gasket that has grommets for power cord entry. As soon as I had connected the new cable & powered it up I could hear the igniter working.

How to take over 9 months to record a song.

@jussipekonen In our family we had two types of hot. None of this axis stuff, the choices were burny-hot & bitey-hot. Both explain themselves fully.
@variablepulserate So quick to condemn. Here’s a link to a possible solution, Content Caching. The video was produced in April 2018 but it’s still relevant. I have just set it up on my iMac (780 GB free space) & it self-allocated 98 GB for this caching. https://macmost.com/using-content-caching.html
