No runny tummy issues?

None that I am aware of.

My Jabras don't work with my iPhone for some reason, keeps disconnecting.

So, bought the Pro 1st Gen just now, was about 35% cheaper than the Pro Gen 2 and for my use case would not have had any advantage to spend more. Still pretty full featured for me.

This completes my Apple collection. Ok, I don't have a Macbook Pro, yet...

iPhone 13
iPad Mini 6

The new Mac Pro with M2 Ultra combines our most powerful Apple silicon yet with PCIe expansion for the ultimate in workstation-class performance.

My sister has a full-sized iPad and some or other iteration of the iPhone. Brother has an iPhone [10S, I think]

I like to play around with the likes of ProCreate when I have an opportunity to go into Incredible connection.

AI image generator?

Hellew, all.

Monday is Office Day. :-D

Also it is really cheap, R40/month. For some reason Simvastatin (which is more expensive) was covered by Discovery but not this. Have queried it.

Even cheaper are beta blockers.

Thought you were looking at an inverter & batteries?

Yeah, but not keen on spending R100K on a 1-2 times occurrence every 10 years

Just paid the R90k deposit on the FJ, so this is happening...

You have to switch stuff around though, right? I got quite tired of doing that.

It's a minor inconvenience at the moment.

Anyone else had a huge increase in spam calls the past few months?

Biggest difference I've found is the improved noise cancellation.

Yes.

And since last week where our sale/purchase registered phone has been going non-stop with insurance and security companies.

I have, they are even phoning on my private sim that , other than friends and family, only Standard bank and Tyme bank have been given.
Makes you think.

Since I haven't flown in a decade (which is where I can imagine I would use it) that wasn't a big plus for me, it does have that feature anyway maybe less good than gen 2 though. The other stuff like a lanyard hole, "speaker", XS ear piece, text printed on the case etc really wasn't worth the 50% premium from the gen 1 vs the gen 2, as currently priced.

I got a human spam call this afternoon, told them the usual "who are you calling from", "take me off your list" etc. Guy hang up on me. I called back and... "This is an important consumer announcement"!

Add to block list and get on with life, not worth the aggravation.

I do, they have many numbers.

My phone came with preinstalled software that flags suspected spam.
