![]() ![]() It looks beautiful, sounds incredible and will knock your socks off when you drive it. The quantity of performance, the breadth of ability, its ease of use and the integration of technology is simply first-rate. That said, if you’re less picky, cars will always pop up as orders are cancelled or traded for the next thing, so it’s certainly not impossible to get your hands on one.Īnd you should, because it’s one of the most spectacular supercars ever built. (Apple) Fruit Extract, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Fruit Extract, Rosa Gallica. If you want to personalise your car to your individual tastes then chances are you’ll be waiting a couple of years before it hits your driveway, such is the demand versus supply situation. Theres also a grand total of three Golden Tickets hidden within our calendars. The standard warranty offering is three years, but this can be extended to four or five years for additional cost.Īside from the financial commitment involved, the biggest issue with buying a 2023 Ferrari 296 GTB is, well, actually buying one. From Italy there’s the wonderful Maserati MC20 or Lamborghini Huracan either as a Tecnica or track-focused STO, from Britain you can choose from a McLaren Artura or 750S, or from Germany the Porsche 911 Turbo S or GT3 RS.Ī perhaps little-known fact is Ferrari’s industry-leading aftersales offering, with the first seven years’ servicing included at intervals of either 12 months or 20,000km. If you’re in the market for an exotic then you are spoiled for choice. At the time of writing there is one 296 GTB available on carsales for $779,990 plus on-road costs, and $150-200K is a fairly typical personalisation spend, so once on-roads are applied, best budget a cheeky million. Premium car-makers now prefer the word ‘personalisation’ to ‘options’, and Ferrari does it better and more extensively than most. They simply aren’t made for one another.The sticker price on the 2023 Ferrari 296 GTB is $568,300 plus on-road costs, but it’s safe to assume that no example has ever left a showroom at that. It’s all very sad, but my clean, lean Mac Mini server is an absolute joy to use precisely because I’m not worrying about which part of Apple’s cloud integration has broken down again, or whether I’ve been logged into something I don’t want, or some obscure dialog box that I need to deal with in an unattended environment because it’s using some sort of privileged mechanism to bypass the notifications preferences to warn me about something or other or present one of those security codes. Sadly, as long as iCloud is a cost centre for Apple, iOS will always have preferencial support for it and local iTunes/Finder sync (also vestigial) won’t be as reliable (when it isn’t being actively sabotaged). Even the Windows iCloud Drive support seems more competent to me. But not anything that relies on the bewildering array of daemons and agents and other infrastructure that talk Apple’s protocols to Apple’s infrastructure. Use it in its native and most comfortable habitat: local operation, except for third parties who take the business seriously, and applications that speak natively using commodity protocols like Mail and Calendar. iOS gets the love even iCloud Drive is more reliable on that platform. Setting up a Mac Mini as a server recently clarified for me the following generalisation which I know to be true: iCloud on macOS is substantially responsible for much of the grief experienced in the Apple ecosystem. (Except perhaps, for asking for this audacious sacrilege of avoiding cloud when systems under personal control can get the task done.) It’s not just the Six Colors report et al., it’s palpable even to a regular Joe such as myself with no special requirements whatsoever. ![]() Apple’s software reliability is in shambles. Now she squints her way through the iPhone calendar even when she’s working on her Mac. It’s a friggin mess.Īnd seeing how she threw many hours out the window for a grand total of ZILCH, her conclusion has been to just stop having synced calendars. ![]() Also, as of lately, her once a year appointments got turned into once a week or once a day. It also integrates with popular Mac applications such as Address Book, Calendar, and Mail, allowing users to easily import and export data between applications. That worked.Įxcept, it only lasted until the next sync. ![]() After several hours she finally had her Mac calendar cleaned up to the point where she could force overwrite the calendar on her next iPhone sync. As I said to Simon in a reply yesterday, I’ve found that enabling syncing of selected calendars in iTunes then using the replace option in the Advanced section seems to work. ![]()
