Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15th November 2026.

15th November, 2026.

OK … have you looked at the weather, outside?

Right at the moment, Rollason Way is chilly, but warmer than it was, yesterday.

And, frankly?

We’ve got rain predicted.

Isn’t that nice?

~≈☔️≈~

I’ve just had a news piece float across my timeline.

It seems that the Apple Support Community Forums are to shut down on Friday, 20th November, of this year.

That’s … 

Well, the best thing I can say is that that’s unfortunate.

Those forums are bloody handy: and many come from users far more knowledgeable about Apple machines than Apple’s call-centre staff.

To the point where my first stop — when I have a Mac issue? — is the Forums, rather than Apple’s own support staff.

Or, indeed, some third party forums.

It’s frustrating, possibly unwise … 

And may earn Apple a backlash.

We’ll have to see …

Decisions about scores are final.
