JeffG
19:36:32
It seems to be working for me.
Windrider
19:36:57
Slack works for me. The stream doesn't.
tioaboa
19:36:59

JeffG
19:37:54
Is the stream working now? It looks like it on my end.
Windrider
19:38:03
Works now, waiting on sound.

Since getting my cataracts fixed in 2015, I now only need reading glasses. I have a set of extended range reading glasses that go out of focus past arm's length. Which also means they are great as computer glasses.
Windrider
19:48:26
They're also multifocals, with a close-up range for book reading.

A friend used the same prescription lenses from when he was 18 until his death aged 83.

The cataract surgery wasn't totally successful, I have 20:20 vision in one eye & a bit less than that in the other. But both had to be done.
Windrider
19:53:23
Have you turned it off and back on again? (smirk)
Windrider
19:54:03
Quite apparent from your username

That website loads then asks for a subscription to continue with the article. But Reader mode bypasses that restriction.

I posted an example of that to Slack a few weeks ago
Windrider

Check out the way this Android phone works as a camera. Way better than the iPhone 13 Pro Max in low light. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0r2rENgvwY

Re that YouTube video: scroll through to 9 minutes & 45 seconds to see the comparison to the iPhone 13 Pro Max

Who remembers the Griffin iMic external USB mike/headphone adapter? Well I'm using it right now with my iMac running Big Sur.

Unite app on Setapp works in much the same way, but only as a desktop app.
Windrider
20:46:39
Unite only requires a name for the webapp & its URL. That's it.
Windrider

I bought a new iPhone 13 Mini & now can get three months free subscription to Apple TV +. So I have watched the first two episodes of Foundation.
Windrider
20:49:09
It's great. Ewen mentioned on Slack that it's not shite.
Windrider
20:50:37
My pleasure, gents.
Windrider

My iMic is the older of the two versions.
Windrider

I have used Fluid app & Epichrome previously for site-specific browsers. The developer of Unite has also made Coherence X (also on Setapp) that uses Chromium browsers as the basis of the webapps.
