Sorry, my fault. I'm at the Apple data center and, well, it's all a bit embarrassing. The whole site is run off a single (far ahead of its time) Newton and... I tripped over the power cable. The battery is long dead so it's got to be plugged all the time, only when I kicked the cable out of the wall it sheared off the bit that plugs into the Newton and no one in this place has any other cables except lighting & usb c. A repair should be easy but those of us here in the data center have all kinds of certs but not much on the physical HW side of things. Tim's old so we got him down here real quick but it turns out he's not nearly as good with a soldering iron as Woz was. A few years back we could have found a hobby jockey easy enough but it's a bit after hours and the usual folks that would hang around the local Radio Shack have nowhere to go these days. We found a local lady that makes the most fabulous stained glass you could want and even though she's a diehard Android user she's agreed to come on over to stick that end bit back on the wire. She's not even going to charge us if we let her put a little glass android on the wall wart side of things. She's insistent on a good work-life balance though and won't come out until family time with the kids is over & her husband gets them off to bed, so it will just be another hour or so. Anyway, sorry about the downtime. I'm as impressed as anyone that the Newton handles things so well but we should really invest in some sort of backup so the next time someone (well, me) gets to watching the latest Rings of Power episode on their phone they don't make the front page of HN by not watching where they're going as they make their way back from the vending machines (salt & vinegar chips, so it was still worth it.)
