In addition to the buttons, there’s also the joystick accessory that came with mine too. Anyone have suggestions to what to do with them? 😅

When a part that you hoarded years ago came in handy to revive an #Apple Thunderbolt Display. The cable is essentially a pass through TB2 cable with some DC cables to drive the MagSafe connector.

Another questionable #ipados26 UI element where you are presented with two “more options” (…) button, side by side, in the Collections section of the Photos app… Why??!

Too many times I’ve seen users running on the edge of local storage constantly swapping data between local and cloud, and not able to retrieve a big chunk off the cloud data when required.

The irony is that for cloud storage to work, you’d still need some form of local storage to be able to do the initial upload.

I didn’t know they’re still making their products locally! Last I heard a few years ago they’ve moved their production operation overseas.

Have you considered an exchange of space? 1TB on your existing storage buys you 1TB of mine.

Aurora Australis? At this time of the year, in this part of the country, localised entirely within our back yard?! Me: Yes.

Condolences, this looks about as evil the ones from the Lenovo Tiny M7/900-ish generation of M.2 plastic retention holder. Luckily they've updated it slightly to be less evil on the M7/920q generation.

I'd say try anything with a radio/wireless transceiver; walkie-talkies, RC cars, maybe try AM on the Walkman radio? YMMV though.

One thing to note as well with these li-ion rechargeable batteries are the amount of electrical noise they could generate from its conversion circuitry. There are reports of these batteries causing issues in electronics with sensors and radio.

That’s a bummer, the ones I’ve had a while ago were pretty decent, I do like that they’re fleshy though.

Ooft! That’s solid hand held effort! There’s a fair amount of details of the surface, I’d imagine it didn’t require heavy cropping?

I’m surprised you don’t have more Tiny/Mini/Micro boxes around. There’s something about them that’s struck a chord with me and I’ve hoarded them for no reason.

It has been 35 days (and counting) since I've been away from home, embarking on a journey of uncertainty and my Mac has been reminding me of this on a daily basis.

On second thought, I don’t believe there were seals on the box of Dell laptops.

/dev/jaybird @jaybirdd.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

As long as the seals are intact when you’ve received it, and it’s not missing any items, and you have an actual tax invoice, I’d contact them (or better yet, contact Dell directly) to have the purchase date updated in their system.

Given that it has an express service tag, I’d hazard a guess and say it’s a Dell. If you’ve bought it from a big box retailer (i.e. not Dell), it is likely the item was put in stock long time ago.
