[MacTUG] iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura arrive on October 24th and new iPad, iPad Pro, and Apple TV

[Marlon A Griffith]

I have used the macrepairman as well. A very small shop, somewhat 
questionable looking. However, his service was good.

My 2013 Air now not only has a 30 second to 5 minute battery life, it refuses to charge past about 80% now, which I'm thinking isn't ideal for the laptop's medium-term health prospects. Of course, I don't really _need_ a laptop, but it does come in handy sometimes.

I'm thinking the battery itself is pranged, and replacing it is probably technically *possible* but... at the end of the day, I don't want to put Linux or Windows on it and it won't support anything past Big Sur anyway, so I'm thinking I squeeze it for as much longer as it has and then buy new.
