Sat Jun 08 2024

Sleep 0300 to 0800, 30m nap. (5-1/2 hours)

  • CSr and I went to visit mom and dad. CSr bought them new iPhone 14 Plus phones so had to help them set them up with Xfinity.

Sleep 0545 to 1245 (7 hours)

  • Answered a telemarketing call. After 30 seconds it's obviously automated since it pauses after each of my responses and when I was colloquial it asked for a clear answer.

Mon Jun 10 2024

Sleep 0315 to 1215 (9 hours)

  • iPadOS 18 will drop support of my iPad Pro which I got in Sep 2017 so 7 years of support is a long time.
  • Three or four fire alarm tests in the evening. Probably units missed in the annual test but was a surprise as we didn't have any notice or maybe I missed it.

Sleep 0600 to 1400 (8 hours)

  • Steam client is quite broken on macOS 10.14 in that the main window is mostly black with a strip at the bottom. You can navigate and stuff but the upper part of the window is black so the install button is blocked. Sure, Steam app stopped support of 32-bit clients earlier this year but didn't think it would be this broken.
  • Looking around looks like the thing to have done is, if you have an older version of the client on a backup then restore that. Unfortunately downloading an older version of the client doesn't work because it's a bare app that will download support files on startup. You can disable client updating but you still need the base support files which means a new install will download the latest version. Since I don't have the old version of Steam backed up I'm out of luck there.

  • DDO Expansion 7, Magic of Myth Drannor, on pre-order.
  • Dinner with CSr and CJr. Joy Sushi. Bento box with chicken katsu and salmon teriyaki. Back in Jan 2019 this was $18, now it's $24.
