@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.

Apple makes it hard. Before Big Sur, one could download macOS point updates as Delta or Combo updaters for use with more than one Mac. It’s even harder under Big Sur because point updates are not applied to clones even though the main boot-up drive from which the clones are made do get updated. Since I have or am responsible for three Big Sur Macs & four clones thereof, I need something relatively simple.
Therefore today I downloaded the macOS 11.2.3 installer & used Disk Drill (via Setapp) to create a bootable installer on a spare 250 GB external USB-C SSD. Right now it’s updating the iMac’s clone to make it into a bootable 11.2.3 system.
@variablepulserate When my parents were courting Mum mentioned her grandfather had designed King Edward VII’s coronation robes. Dad then said his family also had a connection to royalty, & related the tale of Sir Simon Fraser, triple traitor. One of my older cousins has retained a sword used at the Battle of Waterloo, carried by a member of Clan Fraser. A certain degree of research was needed to determine whether he’d fought under Wellington’s command or Napoleons’s, there were Frasers on each side. (He was on the victorious side)
@variablepulserate I am very well arare of that. In fact, the last man publicly beheaded in England was a Scots ancestor of mine, one Simon Fraser.
@variablepulserate I once helped a woman with a “stuck” 30-pin cable in her iPod Nano. She had borrowed the cable from her son & was only accustomed to the newer slimline style. The one she had borrowed was the locking type, with catches at each end that had to be squeezed inward together to release the connector.
@variablepulserate Way back when the iPhone 5 was released I was warned by an early adopter not to get anything with a Lightning cable as it was hard to remove the plug easily. She reckoned it was a design flaw, I explained it was a design feature meaning the connection would be more secure.
