Right …
I mentioned, yesterday, that there was talk the government were — apparently — planning to scrap the bus fare cap: the one that’s been in place since the Cost of Living crisis.
That’s annoying: the thing’s a life-saver if you’re on a low income.
However?
The Prime Minister announced, yesterday, that the cap would go from two pounds to three pounds.
That’s …
Well, it’s not something I wanted to hear.
But it’s better than a poke in the eye …

Oh …
I’m something of a Mac fan: you’re possibly aware of that.
You’re possibly also aware that’s Apple’s new range of iMacs have dropped: at least, they’re ready for pre-order.
I have to say, they look impressive.
They now start with sixteen gigabytes of RAM, by default: and come in four different stock options.
Still …
I have criticisms.
First?
The high end machine comes with a ‘normal’ M4 chip: and can’t, seemingly, be configured with anything more powerful.
Secondly?
My second criticism is the same one I’ve had for a while.
These modern machines only have four USB c/Thunderbolt 4 ports*.
Anyone buying these new machines will probably need a lot of dongles …

Just as a last thought … ?
I’ve officially found out I’ve lost 300 grams, at yesterday’s weight-in.
That’s not as much as I was hoping: but it’s better than I was expecting.
So that’s a result.
