Sunday 10/12/2025
Sunday morning, usual. At 9:30 I met with Susan H, responding to a tech squad call. She gets messages from the Chrome browser saying it won’t support her computer. Yup. Her 2016 MacBook Air is four MacOS releases back from the oldest MacOS that Chrome supports. If it were updated to the latest release that supports that machine, it would still be a release back from the one Chrome (and Firefox) will support. We talked about options. She can keep slogging along, it will all keep working, just no security, or other, updates. Or she can buy a new machine, which she is reluctant to do.
After lunch I got on the bus to the Pear Theater. Enough CH residents have subscribed to Sunday Matinee shows at the Pear that it justified hiring a bus. The play was “The Art of Murder” and now I find there are multiple TV shows with that title but this was none of them. Anyway, it is a black comedy about four people double-crossing each other. Somewhat amusing.
At 7:30 a resident called me from the 11th floor, she couldn’t figure out how to show a DVD. Sigh, why don’t you just read the very clear, illustrated instruction book? Turns out, the book that I wrote and carefully formatted and put under the TV, step by baby-step on how to show DVDs and other things — had disappeared. Some asshole has taken it. After I got her going with her DVD I searched the 11th floor carefully. The book is gone. WHY?!? Why would some jerk pick up this very useful 3-ring binder and walk off with it? I am righteously pissed.
