Pox on it. Both Time Machine drives for my iMac have decided not to be mountable on Monterey. One mounts on my 2008 El Capitan MacBook Pro, I'm attempting a directory repair with DiskWarrior.
I hosted a Zoom meeting tonight & recorded the main session, it was 52 minutes long and Zoom compressed it down to a 400 MB video which I then emailed to the normal host. I was hosting because for a change he was on of the meeting’s presenters.
Using my iCloud email account to send this big file was seamless. It was uploaded to iCloud’s Mail Drop area when it will reside before vanishing automatically after 30 days.
Recipients of such emails do not get an attachment, instead the get an email with a download link. Too easy. Just send it as you normally do but wait until the upload has finished before closing Mail.
New 14 & 16-in MacBook Pros can be ordered now.
They have a notch where the 1080p camera & extra-large sensor reside. The Menubar occupies the space each side of the notch. In effect the menubar is higher up the screen than before.
All 14 & 16-inch models have three Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI, MagSafe 3 (high power), SD card slot & full-sized finction keys including Touch ID. The Touch Bar has vanished. The battery life is now up to 21 hours of video.
All models can be had with the M1 Max and up to 64 GB of Unified Memory. Entry-level models are the same price or lower than the outgoing Intel MBPs.
New AirPods 3 are available with almost the same audio capability as the AirPods Pro but without the Active Noise cancellation of their more expensive counterparts.
@streakmachine About two years later I dropped that camera & the mechanism that uncovers & covers the lens when powered up or down broke. However, that doesn’t affect the operation of the camera.
At one minute past opening time the booze shop left a message saying my bottle of muscat was ready for pickup.
It might be ready. I ain’t.
Efficiency.
I visited Western Australia for my nephew’s wedding in 2010 & stayed for three weeks. Sometime in the first week I lost the charger for my Canon IX 95 camera, a tiny 10 MP thing that easily fits in a shirt pocket.
Amazingly it still had enough charge to take hundreds more photos on that trip and lasted until I could buy a replacement charger once I was home again.
YouTube got me…
Watching a fellow camped by rocky waterfalls, catching & releasing rainbow trout and drinking red wine & muscat.
So I checked for muscat (still my favourite fortified wine) with a local booze barn & there was a nice saving on a very reliable brand. Just have to wait about three hours for the store to open.
@streakmachine I discovered recently that I couldn’t print a CD album cover from Apple Music in wuite the same manner as with iTunes, so I used iTunes the 12-in G4 PowerBook. Still a favourite computer, one of the nicest to type on.
@matigo I remember way back in 1969 when the five kids in the family got a bike for Xmas. One bike between 5 kids aged from 4 to 11 years. It had bolt-on training wheels & 14-inch wheels. The training wheels came off after one week and were hidden. We were on our own after that. The following year we each received a proper bike at birthday time except the youngest sister who inherited the original bike.
