It has been ages since I’ve updated my blog but a lot of stuff has been in my life. For starters I went to the optometrists last week to get my eyes tested and choose my new glasses: Although my insurance will pay for one pair, they have a special at Specsavers where you ‘buy…

So I’ve been thinking about the announcement of Apple Silicon a couple of weeks go along with reaching the commentary of those who have a good reputation within the information technology sphere about the future direction of companies.

Well, I had my interview today and I think I went ok – sure, there were some parts where I could probably have given better examples as answers but I doubt that extra ‘study’ would have made a lick of difference. Oh well, on Friday they hope to have a decision made and we’ll all…

Well, that was delivered on time as expected (as noted in my previous post) when woke up this morning. There are a lot of security updates included in the update (link) as well as general fixes too along with new features such as the ‘Battery Health Management’ feature which manages recharging as to maximise the…
