Rod I really enjoy my chats with ChatGPT. I find it has improved to be better able to understand what I am trying to achieve. As always, giving it clear parameters always helps. The responses to complex social problems is refreshingly sharp and devoid of apparent influence of politics or faith - simply based on logic. It gave me a phrase ’Thoughtful nuance’ to describe was it required to address complex issues, and talked about knee jerk responses alienating many and not being successful. Marcus I found Deep Seek to be similar, but tended to ask more about what I thought, more engaging.
Anyway, I was given four AirTags for Christmas and they provide no way of holding them in place. They could be easily misplaced in a bag for example so I purchased a set of Cygnett Leather Air Tag Cases in tan. They unclip and you place the device inside then hang it from whatever. We have now not lost anything for ages, but feel reassured the AirTags would give us some useful information should it happen. I’ll be putting one in my carry one and one in my checked baggage for a pending overseas trip.
