I spent many hours today dealing with Apple's help desk. It was a simple thing, really. But it chewed up about half of my day. When am I going to learn not to do this?
It was the touch ID button on my Apple wireless keyboard. It sort of died. That wouldn't stop me doing work, I knew, but it was like a flea in my ear, I just couldn't leave it alone. And so I typed the fatal search term into Google, and six hours later here we are, with a functional touch ID button, but no work done. Seriously, when am I going to learn?
In the half day process of working through this issue I also discovered that I hadn't updated my password in quite some time. I do have two factor authentication turned on, which is something. But now that old, probably breached password is sitting in my ear like a flea. Itching.
Surely nothing could go wrong if I just changed the password
i updated my work laptop to 64 bit office and it disappeared my outlook that work uses to organise my indentured life. Google was no help and now i have to ring the dreaded helpdesk.
Don't leave us hanging like that! What was the magic incantation to fix the keyboard?
My keyboard doesn't have an ID button on it, and I can't imagine wanting one. Cath's keyboard has one, but it doesn't do anything.
That's some pretty low-level ear-flea activity, but that's the worst sort, isn't it?

It me.
Spent all Wed like this. Gave up in the end. Will throw money at it instead.
