Having fun dealing with Apple Support.

A couple weeks ago, I decided to switch my Apple devices to an AppleCare One, rather than separately paid ones.

My phone and watch apparently subscribed to it on my ancient "not a full email address" AppleID that is the one that has my iTunes purchases.

My MBP added to my iCloud account.

Which means I signed up for two AppleCare One at $20 each, rather than covering all three under a single account.

On the phone with Apple now to rectify.

Gotta love people who post in forums with a problem - specifically by resurrecting an ancient thread about _the exact opposite problem._

My dude, create a new thread.

Well, joy. It appears that both of my Raspberry Pi 4s have decided that USB-C PD power supplies should just fry them, rather than power them.

I haven't used my Pis in a while, decided to migrate HomeAssistant to a Pi instead of being "one of many workloads" on an overpowered Dell PowerEdge.

Plugged first Pi into my usual USB-C power brick. Blinking red light. A few seconds later, the clear smell of ozone.

Plugged second Pi into second lower-power USB-C PD, solid red light! Followed by ozone.

Aw, dang… macOS Tahoe killed 1st generation iPod support.

Later USB iPods work fine, but the OG no longer works.

Worked on Sequoia. But on Tahoe, it charges fine, but goes immediately to "ok to disconnect" without ever mounting in the OS/Music app the way USB iPods do.

I even have Disk mode on, and it doesn't show up as a hard drive.
