Edge on Mac forces new tabs to always display a search page at a Microsoft site. In the app’s prefs there’s a new tab customise button but that just sends you to the aformentioned page (where you can presumably customise a landing page if you’re logged in. Not being able to make new tabs blank (or DuckDuckGo) is a deal breaker for me. I knew Microsoft making nice stuff was too good to be true.
@matigo Volume button is opposite the power button on mine so it’s hard to only press the power button.
Been scrubbing the kitchen cupboards and ripping up the stair carpet while listening to music on the new bluetooth speaker. Wrists a bit sore. That can happen when they've been broken. I really appreciate the twenty hour battery life on the speaker. Don't have to charge often, unlike my ageing laptop.
God, it's almost like the iPhone keys are laid out so you do lots of unintentional screenshots. Or is it just me who has that problem?
@sumudu Looks like you've found a great past-time. Nice environment, nice people and presumably a bit of night-time beer to increase the joviality.

@matigo Seems like a good approach. Are you learning from desktop writing apps what an online writing space ought to be like?
I found the ideal, non-demanding music for when I want to calm myself down and relax for half an hour. Daniel Kaede's 'Somewhere Ahead' album of lilting, acoustic guitar music. It's unusual for me to want the whole album; I'm track-centric, but this time the whole shebang was worth getting. It's also unusual for me to play music while doing something else. When playing music I normally do nothing but attend to the music with my ears and mind….but this one works for me ambiently as well.
