Right, done and dusted … !
As you’re possibly aware?
I’ve had an internal drive: a two terabyte one I’d used for media storage.
One that the Brentwood branch of CeX wouldn’t take, as the equipment they used to test such things had broken.
I was just a little put off by that: and thinking, yesterday morning, that heading to the Romford branch of CeX and selling it there, would be an idea.
So … ?
That’s exactly what I ended up doing.
Romford CeX were happy to take it: doing the testing in under an hour, whilst I went off an had the first and only McDonalds I’ve had in about five years.
Frankly?
It’s strange, I know: but I’ve come away with a minor feeling of accomplishment: however minor that accomplishment actually was.
Just as an extra thought?
You — as I — have possibly read about the Meltdown and Spectre flaws in various computer chips: chips — and thus flaws — so widespread that every hardware maker on the planet are affected.
Included Macs: the platform I’ve been using and recommending for several years, now.
Thanks are that, Intel!
At ANY rate? Apple* have
confirmed this affects Macs, iPhones and iPads — but not the Watch — and will be putting through fixes, soon.
Personally?
I hope that includes my version of Safari.
I’d hate to be left out!
In all this … ?
In all the fuss, day trips and palaver, the fact I’ve managed to catch
Shada, last night?
Can almost be overlooked!
Oy vey … !
