not appy today, pun intended, tried to install my banking app on my iphone, talk about roundabouts, had to apply to the bank for a user ID and password, which arrived by snailmail 3 days later. Reading the small print, I had to fill in and scan for email a recept of these letters. I then had to wait a day for a return email to say the account had been unblocked, great so far? Next I try to log in. Ha- no-go for multiple tries. On the phone to the bank for help where two helpers pass me around their phone system with the usual line holds and crap music. Much much later, my helper says she cannot see me in the system (what? Big brother at the bank. Anyway I always cover the camera). Twigged it that she was looking for her end of my app. She suggests deleting the app and re-installing it. Great! It will not install as my iphone IOS Is out of date and needs 12.2.33334.6723.119 or such like. I asked if she would send me a new Iphone.
Just another app that will not run on older systems, there are more and more of them. I hate IT idiots (not engineers) who have. No idea of the consequences of what they are doing.
end of rant, but it didn't help.

I rejoice every day that I do not own any Apple product or allow my life to be dictated by "apps".
Good luck to you mon ami. Hope you get sorted soon and embrace your new Iphone 14 as the manager of all your life's essentials.

@ Polarengineer, I'm afraid that your primary function as a citizen is to be updated.....A recent debate in Germany started in " Der Spiegel", a rant against the "Totaldigitalisierung: Wir brauchen das Grundrecht auf eine analoge Existenz. Die Digitalisierung ist längst keine Technologie mehr, sondern eine Ideologie. Sie raubt uns die Freiheit." Translation: We need the fundamental right to an analogous existence. Digitalisation is no longer a technology, but an ideology. It robs us of our freedom. |

I would not normally comment on grammar but in this case, I think the change makes more sense of the translation. |

The " Zombie nation " are seen everywhere! They walk among us, being entertained by childish video games on tiny screens expecting common sense to be available in a free downloadable "app". |

Good news (for me) I discovered my ipod (never be without music) was new enough to get the banking app working. It only took about an hour and ten minutes to set up. Now I can spend the money I don't have in that magical digital fashoin (by digital, I mean the middle one for the bank). I find the apple design and machine build very good, it's the third party software that is crap.

This year , the first 20 lambs were all paid cash , that was used to buy my hay and cereals.

On the subject of firewood. I went to the Brico yesterday to pick up 5 sheets of insulation (they buggers only had 2 left). On the way out I always go around the back to try my luck and was delighted to find a stack of pallets and scraps lest outside the back door. There was so much there I couldn't fit it all into my van. Oh, how I miss my old lwb Transit.
Enough for a couple of days heating and I didn't need an app or cash or have to swap a chicken for the wood.
