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.
@matigo Where the publish/reply button would be inactive until some part of the text was edited; the one @jussipekonen commented on the other week.
I don't want to like Coldplay, and I don't really, most of their music is rubbish. But it's hard to deny the feelgood magnetism of 'Clocks'. Anyone who has a driving playlist will have that on there. What is that attractive, chiming instrument you hear at the beginning and repeated elsewhere? I reckon it's just a keyboard synth but it has a sort of xylophone/glockenspiel quality to it. I think if you replaced that sound with a blander one the whole song would be a lot less attractive. Conclusion; bands ought to use that electronic, chiming sound more often.
