New since the last site update (or last few months, whichever is longer):

New Apple Inc. Commentary section of World O’ Advocacy, featuring the first of likely several? many? articles: Apple Account (ID) Lockout (August-October 2022). Traumatic enough that it took me 3 years and 3 months after the end of the debacle to complete and publish this article. Overview of Apple failings and how you can and should protect yourself so you don’t get locked out.
In the insanely long overdue category, Converted globe on this here very home page to SVG. Globe will now scale to pretty much any screen size. Touch/click target areas are now far more accurate. Globe should look better. Home page should load faster (not as though it was slow before…). Enjoy!—and do let me know if there are any issues.
Major update to Breville 800 series Espresso Machine article. Reorganized, visual cues for sections, tl;drs on Electrical page index. Significant new information on circuit board revisions. Yet another schematic correction. Plus more i’ve already forgotten!
Added standard box pointy arrow external link icons (like this: ) throughout the site.
Minor tweaks and improvements throughout the site… very minor. But does suck slightly less now.
