The only reason I got this older refurb S10 was to activate my phone, Insta 360, and DJI Pocket. Since it worked on all three devices, I figured it was worth the $150. The reviews were good, and I was able to transfer the sim card from my 2018 Samsung.

I think I’ve mellowed as I have gotten older. Instead of referring to bad drivers in words I can’t use here, I just honk at them. :-)
I'm one step beyond you. I no longer honk.

As I walked toward the kitchen this afternoon, I saw what looked like a man-sized shadow moving across the floor. It didn't even phase me. I figured, "Oh, well." As it turned out, I had my glasses down a bit on my nose, and looking over them caused the illusion.
In other news, we have a chipmunk in the house. I had mouse traps all over the placer, but no interest. Then I saw the little guy running across the floor, so I knew the noise was from a chipmunk and not a mouse. I set up a Have-A-Heart trap, but he's shown no interest in it. Maybe he left the house.

My watch is the only device that came with a C charger end. I bought a pair of cables with A connectors on the ends.

I put my expensive DSLR in the drawer three years ago and never looked back. I love the picture my Iphone takes.
The phone will never be "My Camera," but it is good in a pinch.

Yeah but I think you would consider that to be too much and I don't know if you would like to have a 1970's receiver (which I would love to have).
I have an AR receiver in the garage. That's from about 1970. When it stopped working years ago, I brought it to the local guy. He said that the bad part was proprietary, and he had to order it from AR.

But you can use 1 good data cable for all applications. Charging and all.
If the connectors fit, I use it.

I have good luck with machinery except cars. I can never keep my car running well for very long.
I now have three broken microwaves that I have to bring to a special place to dispose of. I'll have to check and see when they are open.
I've had great luck with cars - well over 100k miles on several. I've had forty-two cars since I started driving in 1960. Back then, cars were cheap, so I could buy a new one every few years. For example, I had Fords in '65, '67, and '69.

You need a device with a tape out / monitor in set of jacks, like we had on 1970s stereo receivers. Better yet would be an Auxiliary Line Out jack from the device. In both cases, this would provide a constant level out to the FM transmitter, but you could control the local volume independently of the FM receivers.
That sounds about right.

Before you call these phone numbers Google them usually they don't exist. Also if you get one of the 'You are in deep #% @( ' messages and you can't close the tab enter alt-ctrl-delete go to to task-manager find your browser and end the task. When you restart your browser do not use the resume or restore option.
Good advice.

I can't understand why people get so worked up when they are shopping. It's ridiculous. Screaming and cursing isn't required.

USB charging cables -

They should sell a "Cable Pack." It would contain about a hundred basic cables, covering most situations. Then they would have the "Cable Pack Pro" kit, and that would include all the cables you would ever need, probably about two hundred. 😂
Of course, you could sign up for the subscription plan, so you would get the new cables as they were introduced.
