AirTag tip: When replacing your batteries, get the Energizer and NOT the seemingly identical Duracell. It won’t work (due to a slight difference in thickness).

I commit journalism at the St. Paul Pioneer Press newspaper, where I work as a web editor and tech reporter, and for the Apple-centric TidBITS tech-news site and newsletter. "How the f**k did I end up in Minnesota?" this shivering Puerto Rican groused. Then I took up cross-country skiing ... and I came to dread winter's end. Banner by @[email protected]
Keep an eye (and a nose) on the power adapters used to juice your computers and other devices.
This morning I smelled what seemed to be overheating electronics. I think I traced the odor to a Nomad two-port USB-C adapter that was too hot to touch. I'm trashing it.

I've long loved Nomad's gear, but I am treating its adapters with caution until I figure out whether this was an isolated incident. I’m sticking to my Apple USB-C adapters for now.
Input, please.
I'm the guy deciding whether, when and how to put my employer, the St. Paul Pioneer Press newspaper, on Mastodon.
I'm mulling options, implications and possible repercussions rather than making this a knee-jerk move.
One big decision is which instance to use.
Any thoughts? @glennf? @dsilverman? @adamengst?
