@peemee Reminds me of my mum and her osteoarthritis—pain starts in one place then goes on a tour of the nerve network.
@phoneboy Yeah, and if you have a sleep during the day you miss courier deliveries.
@sumudu Little nicks. It’s a good job my model doesn’t have a touch bar; the phone somersaulted on that bit.
@peemee Must be bad if you can’t sleep. It’s a pity they can’t replace knees like they can replace hips. Which pain is the worst?
Didn't take long for my Macbook Pro to acquire its first nicks. I managed to drop my phone on the metal strip between keyboard and screen. Oh well.
@whoisashygirl You dislocated your knee? I'm wincing just at the thought of it.

@peemee No. There’s consideration a) Let others be Guinea Pigs, consideration b) Annoying changes/new features (though I confess I can’t remember what it was that annoyed me in the Ventura release announcement). And there’s consideration c) some developers are a bit slow to make their progs compatible.
@matigo I’ve read a lot about Lithium-ion batteries, especially when I was getting into the e-biking. There were certainly debates and differences of opinion. Hopefully I’ve not been impressed by the wrong opinions. I do edit video by the way. I wouldn’t say the computer gets hammered exactly but it works pretty hard sometimes.
They reckon you should put your laptop through a full discharge > charge cycle about once a month for battery health, so I used mine until it went to sleep. But when I plugged it back in (and used it while charging) things seemed a bit funny. The keyboard was not lit (with these modern macs they are always lit when booted up) and the waking-from-sleep-progress-bar was still visible (but with mangled multi-coloured pixels) mid-desktop. So I decided on a reboot. That remedied those two problems but then I discovered logging in with fingerprint no longer worked. My fingerprints had been wiped. That didn't happen last time so I'm hoping it's a one-off. I've updated Monterrey since the last full charge cycle so maybe the update's got a bug.
