Isn’t USB-C supposed to be THE standardization?
Just about all new electronics, from iPhones to earbuds and wireless speakers now use USB-C.
With all my devices I now have a large collection of USB-A and-C cables or adapters.
Yes, but not on the charger end. For all my devices, I plug a Type-A into the charger.
I suspect there are two different conversations going on here. Most devices have a C port, while most chargers have an A port.

My laptop has a usb-c charger, as does my iPad, my wife’s iPhone, anything new. They do charge much faster with the usb-c cord which will handle 60-100w
This Galaxy phone is the first device that came with a USB-C to plug into a charger. Fortunately, I was able to buy a pair of Type-A cables.
I have many devices with a USB-C on the end that plugs into the device, but only the phone cable has C on the charger end.

I never had the need to print many-page booklets, but I do remember a program which seemed ideal for such a task. It is called "Clickbook" from company named "Blue Squirrel." It can handle what you describe above.
https://www.bluesquirrel.com/products/clickbook/Thanks. That looks nice, except it's not free.
I might make a program once or twice a year, so paying for software wouldn't be worth it.
I have so many cables - all different kinds, and all different kinds of adapters. Can't these electronic geniuses think more than one day ahead? All we need is one type of connector. Why do cables have Type A on one end and mini, micro, or C on the other end? I can guarantee that this isn't then end of it. After we "standardize on C connectors on both ends, there will be something different coming along.
Even HDMI connectors come in at least two sizes.

I’m just rewatching a favorite - “This Island Earth” - a classic.
I think I saw that. One thing I remember from the 1950s sci-fi movies was the faces of the astronauts getting pulled back by G-forces during take-off.

Agree with you Jerry. I immediately thought of Walmart. I would think that Skylum would have a more creative logo. The new products that just upgraded, and the new look (internally), are worthy of something spectacular.
I went to a website this morning, and something like that spun a few times while it was loading.

Worried? Maybe. It begins with electronics. Then it moves to physical harm!
As I was trying to get to sleep last night, I heard loud music playing from one of my neighbors. After a while, I looked out the window, expecting to see lights or activity. Nothing. At that point, it seemed that the music was coming from downstairs.
I have an FM transmitter and an iPod in the TV room, and that sends the signal throughout the house. I was playing it yesterday morning - only in the morning. My son and I were in the house all day and all night, and there was no music coming from that radio. In order for it to work, the radio must be turned on. The button on the transmitter must be pushed in, and that activates a bright red light. The iPod will start playing at that point.
How did the music start around 10:00 last night?
If the radio had been turned on, I would have been hearing the static hiss. If the transmitter had been turned on, I would have seen the bright red light all day, as I was about ten feet away from it. The radio can be turned on by a remote control, so it's theoretically possible that a stray signal from an alien spaceship activated it. Still, it takes some force to push in the button on the side of the FM transmitter. I have to hold it down with my fingers while I push it in with my thumb.
If this keeps happening every night, I'm destroying the radio, the transmitter, and the iPod.
I wanted to print a program for a play - two sheets of paper, landscape, double sided. No big deal. The Epson ET-2760 said it was out of paper. I followed the directions on the little LCD and pretended to add paper. So, here's one problem. When it thinks it's out of paper, there is no alternative but to follow the directions for adding paper. Pushing any of the ten buttons on the printer gets the reply, "Invalid." There seems to be no way out of this loop. Either it gives up on its own after showing the four required steps a dozen or more times, or I have to shut down and restart.
So, it finally realized that all that white stuff stuck down its back was paper, and it agreed to print. It quickly spat out two blank pages. I gave it another chance: two more blank pages.
I turned on the Epson ET-8500, and that worked fine. I swear, I can hear them giggling.
When I got this Galaxy Fit 3 watch, I mentioned that the magnetic charging cable has a USB-C fitting on the end. I ordered a pair of USB-C chargers for it. Today, I saw that I could have ordered a pair of USB-Type A charging cables for less money. I didn't like the idea of having just one cable to charge the phone, so now I have three. Where is standardization when you need it?
I hope this doesn't become a new trend - USB-C charging cables.
I wanted to check the MEI/EMI(?) number of my new phone, so I entered it on a look-up site. Up popped one of those screen blockers. "There is a problem with your computer! Call Microsoft!" Fortunately, I was able to click on the tab, close it, and continue working. I'm surprised that Defender didn't warn me about that site. I wonder how many people call the number and pay to have their computers fixed.
