   Holy moly what an absolute surprise 😁 me and Andy are delighted. We turned off Lego Masters to listen 😆

   The next one better not be August 😂 I’ll have practically carbon dated by then.

   I absolutely love my Mac Mini. I’d have still preferred a Studio but it’s been a really wonderful machine since I’ve had it. Not a hint of slowdown so far, and it looks so cute on the desk. I just wish it had an SD slot.

   I’ve never used Apple Care, and never needed it so far TOUCH WOOD.

   How dare you call me out on my ornamental iPad 😂 I’ll have you know she feels very loved irrespective of the lack of handling.

   Trump and them bloody tariffs. They’re playing the Orwell game … say it’s successful so often that people will eventually believe it. No 😂 the Orange Bogbrush needs putting in a care home with heavy meds. When will sense and reason come back to the world and idiots riddled with dementia are taken away from the controls?

   I’m seriously umming and ahhhing a 17 Pro Max after the rumoured RAM reductions on all future device models in 2026 😶 I don’t fancy paying more for the next model to have less RAM.

   We’ve had fireworks since about 5pm. My precious little beagle princess has had an awful evening. She’s inconsolable every time. As she’s getting older I worry about the effect on her heart. Speaking of doggies, I actually walked right next to two mischievous and very curious sammies that I mentioned seeing over the road a while back 😂 the owners looked mortified as they tried to investigate us.

   I think I only really started listening to the actual MacBites shows about a year or so ago. I’ve decided to go back to the beginning 😂 I went and listened to the first show yesterday and today. I left you a little comment for good measure 😂

   Andy says he only used Co-pilot once for work. A question related to his apprenticeship he thinks. Nothing before or since 😂 must have made an impact.

   Best Windows versions for me were 98 and XP. I miss them so much. I liked the chunky UI. The login screen especially corrupts my heart with nostalgia.

   I had an issue with Amazon not allowing me to purchase something a while back. I used to have my first initial only, and I couldn’t make a purchase until I put my full name on it 😒 I wonder what that could be for …

   I’ve got used to Tahoe now, but I still don’t like it. I kept the previous version on my MBP and I hurt deeply when I see how Scrivener looked before the update 😂

   Gareth has just spent an Apple sum on a new PC that he’s spec’d out to high heaven (Parish Gang Bang 😂 we both howled). Will arrive around the 12th Jan apparently and quite a flashy tower I think. Be interested to see TT’s new machine whatever it is 😁 do I smell a YouTube unboxing? Another Studio!? I’d really detest you 😂 and you were correct. My teeth clenched with Shrek green envy 😂 as for watches, I have the Ultra 2 and I have the tap issue as well. It also takes a long, long time to turn back on if you turn if off to make it behave. I also use it for unlocking my Mini and mainly for the gym. I also love the idea of a MacBites Supermarket Sweet 😆

   An iPad! Finally! M5. Do it 😂 I find it amazing that you use the older one more than the M1 model 😂

   Another fabulous, fabulous show to round of 2025 😁 hopefully another shadow drop is around the corner. Happy New Year folks!

   Looking forward to my new mac Studio when Elaine and Mikey win some sort of Apple give away and they can load up on all things Apple at the Apple store. But equally important is the fact that half of the UK seem to be chasing the bin truck in their PJs. I find this fascinating. In my neighborhood people put canned or bottled drinks on top of the bins so the drivers don’t get dehydrated. But no one chases the bin truck. I feel as if I should see this on “Keeping up Appearances”. Hyacinth would have gone nuts, hehe. Yes I still watch the reruns. But I’m so happy you have painted such a great picture that I can see it from here. I enjoy the 2025 recap but the bin chasing is my favorite thing now. TTFN
