Sleep 0600 to 1230 (6-1/2 hours)

• When I returned home from the dentist I dropped my iPhone on the parking lot and cracked the rear glass. Today I went into the support app and entered my issue. One of the options is having a replacement phone sent to me and then I ship the old phone back. I tried that and it puts a hold of $629.50 (I think breaks down as $530.50 for a new phone with tax and $99 for AppleCare) which is charged if you don’t send your phone back in 10 days.
• Setting up new Time Machine backups. Forgot that TM wants to be the only user of the volume so if there is already another machine’s backups there it will create a new volume. Since I use two rotating hard drives the default volume name doesn’t work as then in TM settings it has both backups with the same name. So you need to create the new volume first then tell TM to use that empty volume.

Sleep 1115 to 1600. (4-3/4 hours)

• M3 Pro is so fast I have to be careful about auto-correct. Used to be if I typed fast enough auto-correct wouldn’t kick in but now it constantly wants to auto-complete or auto-correct which is rough if I’m writing foreign words like names.

• Noticed that Disney+ has some Hulu and ESPN+ content. Let’s see if I can finish Castle (last episode watched is 5.06 with my sister) while I have the chance.
• Backed Boreal Frostlands on BackerKit. I have the previous products.

Sleep 0430 to 1330 (9 hours)

• Played 45 minutes of Resident Evil 2, about 15 minutes configuration and switching to my Xbox controller (with a mouse it shows cursor and if the cursor is at the edge of the screen you can’t keep tracking so stop turning which is fairly annoying). Anyway, about half an hour of gameplay then you have to purchase the rest.

• Called SafeCo to change my home insurance billing so that I can pay instead of my lender. Took three people but they were all friendly. Change should be updated tomorrow so I can pay my insurance then.
