This was really helpful, Clint. I can finally stop rolling my eyes at yet another infernal update from Apple. Context is everything. šŸ

With so many devices, I totally feel your pain (and eye rolls). But I’d rather be slightly annoyed than experience any of the various malware or worse that the updates help avoid. Keep, keep it together. Cheers, my dears!

Happy Belated Bday to you, Larry! Hope you had a fabulous celebration. Wishing you much love and light on your next spin around the sun!

I am shocked … SHOCKED! to learn my iPhone 7 & iOS 15 is out of date!

Now, what is this ā€œbattery serviceā€ notification all about? I thought I had the coal power option on it. Huh.

I’m (almost) serious. I used my iPhone 4 for 8 years!

I’m with you, Terry. I wish the devices would last LONGER. My last iMac lasted almost 10 years before I couldn’t update it anymore. It’s still being used, by a local charity, for its clients to apply for job. My last iPhone didn’t make it 5 years before it required upgrading. Oy. I blame AI and its tech power drain! May the Force be with you…. :-)

Listen as your day unfolds Challenge what the future holds Try and keep your head up to the sky

You gotta be bad You gotta be bold, You gotta be wiser, You gotta be hard You gotta be tough

You gotta be stronger You gotta be cool, You gotta be calm, You gotta stay together

I think I first saw Des'ree in Romeo and Juliet singing: Pride can stand A thousand trials

The strong will never fall But watching stars without you, my soul cried šŸŽ¹šŸŽµšŸŒˆ

Love how you framed updates as tune-ups instead of interruptions. It shifts the mindset from hassle to care, like taking your tech in for a wellness check rather than a root canal šŸ”§šŸ“±

Thanks, Gino. I try to reframe--for myself--as much as I can that frustrates me. Half the battle is getting my head on straight as the rest of me struts gay-ly forward. Cheers! :-p

Oh, no freebies here. Not even discounts. I have the credit card bills to prove it. But a boy can dream, right? :-p
