Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1-8-2021: August

1st August, 2021.

Right … 

That’s the update done.

I mentioned, yesterday, that a security update had cropped up: a security one that sounded serious.

That’s officially done, and dusted.

I will admit, though … ?   I’m grateful a couple of games on the AppleTV work with the new and improved Siri remote.

I had something to do, while I waited …

Melts into streams of rain.”
