@matigo Haven’t bought one for over 10 years. If necessary I could sacrifice existing ones. It’s a fully rewritable format.
Need to buy some superglue tomorrow. I’m giving my sister an old micro stereo system I no longer use. She needs a CD player and this has a good one that holds the disc in a near-vertical orientation. The problem is the spindle in the certre is loose & likes to come off when the CD is removed, I need to stick it down.
All she really needs is the CD capability but the alarm clock, AM/FM radio & MiniDisc recorder are also present. Everything works, even the remote control, the system hasn’t been used for about 7 years & is close to 18 years old. Before getting into iPods & Macs, I used MiniDiscs for my portable music listening.
This JVC UX-V9MD device has the ability to rip a CD to MD at twice the playing speed of the CD.
@matigo Don’t knock the Space Force! Since its formation there have been no alien invasions.
This USB-C gadget from hell brings back the worst part of USB-A.

Biggest bank in the country is closing & removing its tablet banking app, as used by iPads, no reason given. Former users need to download the phone app to use on their tablets because, as everyone knows, phone apps scale perfectly on tablets.
Wankers.
Wondered why the connection betewwen my iPad 8th gen & 2017 iMac 4k using Sidecar (sets iPad as additional screen) wasn’t working, it worked OK on the 2017 MacBook Pro. So I tried it on the laptop & it wasn’t seen. But it had been visible in the past. Then I noticed that Bluetooth on the iPad was inactive. Turning that on got Sidecar working on the MacBook Pro but it was still cranky on the iMac, sometimes working via wi-fi, sometimes not & never via w sync cable. All the while, the wifi-only iPad Mini was only connecting via a cable.
I’m not conscrned for the Mini, it’s screen is too small to be viable as an iMac’s extra screen anyway.
In desperation I reset the bigger iPad’s network settings & when it rebooted after that process, it worked fine in Sidecar on the iMac, both over cable & wifi.
I had tried a soft reset earlier & it hadn’t helped at all.
It’s all good now but a 10.2-in screen is still a bit small for use with an iMac.
It’s viable besise the 13.3-in MacBook pro’s screen, though, providing a nice bit of extra screen realestate.
@matigo Seems excessive. At current exchange rates, £166 equates to AU$298, yet I can get the same Lexar card here for $199 from Amazon.
