@variablepulserate Works for me
Tomorrow I collect my replacement Apple HomePod. The original one I bought a few years ago suddenly stopped responding to any input. It would not turn on, no matter what tried. Apple-approved repairer couldn’t fix it either, so I was left with three choices: do without a stereo pair with the Apple TV; pay full price for a new one or get a refurbished one. I chose the latter, it’s about 15% cheaper than new.
@whoisashygirl Helped out my sister who has to replace her mobile phone, she ordered one of very few Nokia 7.2s from a retailer who only sends purchase links via SMS. Because my sister is using a dumb phone she can’t act on such links, so she arranged for me to receive the SMS, which I opened on my MacBook Pro in Messages app.
I hit the pay link while on a VPN & entered her credit card details & all was well. She was quite put out that her dumb phone couldn’t allow her Windows laptop to access text messages.
@whoisashygirl Very compact, nicely set up. Did you do anything special or different for Invasion Day?
NextCloud to the rescue! I’d been trying to work out why I couldn’t use the automobile club’s website to pay my annual roadside assist payment that was due today - the past three years I’d been late paying it & didn’t want a repeat of that confusion.
I could access the Payments section on the website but it wasn’t recognising my membership number against the selected product I wanted to pay for.
On the website’s services summary page I could see the membership expired today but when I hit the Payments button, it just said “there appears to be no payment needed.”
I had tried BPay with my online banking earlier in the week but that kept saying the biller code didn’t match the customer reference number.
I never considered looking at PayPal, having had issues with my car insurance payment taking an inordinately long time to come through (my insurance is via the auto club).
So I entered the amount due in Spotlight & it directed me to the Web Receipts folder in NextCloud (via 10C) which syncs the Web Receipt folders on two Macs. The receipt therein showed full payment had been made on Dec 30th.
Via PayPal, despite having decided a few months earlier never to use that system for payments to the auto club.
