Day 40, 2023: HomePods mini follow-up.

I just had two units of Apple 35W Dual USB-C Power Adapters delivered at the office earlier today. I am going to use them with a pair of HomePods mini, and freeing two ports free on the power strip. Each 35W Dual USB-C Power Adapter will supply power to a HomePod mini and a Lighting compatible devices, such as an iPhone or AirPods.

I also have a few Power Adapter Extension Cables that I kept from previous MacBook power adapters. Apple no longer include the extension cables with MacBooks for quite some times, which they now sell separately for $19.99 USD.

I also collected these extension cables whenever someone discarding their broken power adapters.

By the way, today is a pretty warm day in February; hovering around highs 70 to low 80 °Fahrenheit. The same goes for tomorrow according to weather forecast.

Day 30, 2023: Visiting an Apple Store

I went to an Apple Store for a Genius Bar Appointment. One M1 MacBook Air is having trouble charging the battery. We were able to replicate the issue and parts were ordered. I decided to get another set of Power Adapter and USB-C Charge Cable, to see if the issue was not caused by the internal components in the MacBook Air.

I have swapped the Power Adapter and the Charge Cable in troubleshooting the issue. Unfortunately the result was inconclusive. I’m hoping the new Power Adapter and Charge Cable would give me better ideas on what’s going on with the MacBook Air.

By the way it was raining today, again.

Day 29, 2023: English Pub Food

It started raining when I went to a local “English Pub” to meet some friends. I ordered Chicken Tenders with chips (fries) and green peas. Apparently the green peas is the “English Pub” part in the meal according to my friend who used to work in London. Overall it was pretty good meal.

I also visited a few kittens at my friend’s house. They were spayed earlier in the week and recovering without any complications. they are currently wearing vests to prevent them from excessively licking the stitches.

Day 26, 2023: Humidity and Temperature Sensors

I finally got around to installing Apple TV and HomePod mini software updates (16.3) today. The latest update enables Humidity and Temperature Sensors in HomePod mini; which are also enabled in HomePod 2nd Generation.

Update: one HomePod mini is still installing the update. I am going to leave it running and check back tomorrow.

Day 20, 2023: By the Fireside

It is fairly cold tonight and I spent a good portion of the night by the fireside. It is 46 °F but it feels a lot colder outside.

It is Friday and I feel a bit underwhelmed. Bored. so I decided to cook something. The “easiest” one is a bowl of Ramen.

No it’s not that easy.

Day 16, 2023: Return of the King

Good news for the day, the King of the neighborhood has returned after “missing” for 5 days. We are all so happy to see Bloo T. Cat showed up in good health. There’s a chance that he was stuck in someone’s garage the whole time we were looking for him.

On other news, this happened:

Scratched up front bumper

Not sure what happened. Certainly we’re going to have to decide what to do next.

It was raining hard today as it might be the last rain cell for the next 10 days.

Day 15, 2023: A Thirsty Cat

It’s Sunday and another rainy day. Monday is Martin Luther King, Jr. and a federal holiday in the United States. Well, except in certain States, 🙄.

Today, Biggie T. Cat is doing a lot better. He walks around the house and uses the litter box. He doesn’t have any fever, which is a good news. We are still giving him his medications, and it is getting harder as he gets better. He now has the strength to resist. It is indeed a good news.
