I tend to hang out with older folks, and I've noticed something amusing. If something falls to the floor, people don't rush to pick it up. Like me, I bet they are asking themselves two questions: Do I really need that thing? If I bend down that far, will I be able to get back up?

Read reviews and comparisons. Any modern camera will be fine.

VASA was developed by Microsoft, but it hasn't been released. Heaven help us if and when they do release. Imagine this. You take a picture of a face and add any audio text to it. the face moves and speaks the text file perfectly. They tried it with a drawing of a Japanese face speaking Japanese. Although MS did not train it to speak Japanese, it performed perfectly. As an added feature, you can specify serious, happy, concerned, or angry. If this becomes available, we will never be able to believe what we see and hear.

Take a look. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/vasa-1/

But I think all smart watches need cell phone app. Personally I don't like smart watch as I have to charge them daily also I don't need anything more on a watch but to tell me the hour, the minute and the second. I don't even need the date.


The Galaxy Fit 3 could go a week between charges unless everything was turned on. I might get something that keeps track of my steps. My phone could also do that, but unless I go out somewhere, the phone is turned off.

Sam's just got in a new version of the Epson -- pretty basic model but the price is right -- 179.98.


Thanks. Amazon has it for $170. The major difference seems to be the display. The display on my ET-2760 is awful. It's small to begin with, and the text is tiny. It's hard to tell one icon from another.

"The Epson EcoTank ET-2400 and the Epson EcoTank ET-2800/ET-2803 are very similar all-in-one inkjet supertank printers. They're nearly identical in features; the only difference is that the ET-2800 has a better display panel, making it easier to navigate the settings menu. Jan 26, 2024."

A friend is about 72, and I don't think she's ever had a printer. She uses the library or Staples for any printing. Although she has a laptop, she uses her phone almost exclusively. She asked me for advice about buying a printer.

Printers are great, but since they were invented by the Devil, they can torment the user. I'm going to recommend an Epson Ink Tank and suggest she go through the wireless printing setup, something I've never done. I have enough trouble with printers without worrying about getting them to work with Wi-Fi. I'm also going to give her the choice of a cheap ink cartridge printer because I don't think she'll do much printing. I dread the phone calls and emails when her printer doesn't work right. 🙄

EDITED: I recommended to new version of my Epson ET-2760. It's the ET-2800 for $200. Mine has printed thousands of copies on the original ink - since 2020.

Never heard that about LED bulbs. Halogen bulbs on the other hand are quartz because they run at a higher temperature. And the high temperatures along with acids from finger oils can cause failure.

LED bulbs run pretty cool and are sometimes plastic instead of glass.


I put LEDs in my car's interior light sockets. After a couple of years, they began failing. Of the half dozen little LEDs on each bulb, only one or two were still working. I think it's funny that LEDs don't last as long as incandescents. They are very bright, though.

Which "online directions"? Whatever, you'll get it figured out.


Which? Many! They'll be using a different version of the program or a different modification of the Home screen.

Ah, yes. Lotus. Microsoft steamrollered over many programs.

I have a Garmin watch. Lots of choices, reasonable prices and works well. Highly recommend.


I admit that a smart watch would be more of a toy than a necessity, but I was taken in by the low price and the great reviews for the Samsung Fit 3. I'm going to avoid anything that needs a cell phone app.

Everything seems to be going USB-C, supposedly due to an EU order that all connectors on devices sold in the EU be USB-C after a certain date. So if that were your only quibble I'd just suggest you get a USB-C charger and move on. Even a cheap one should have enough output to charge a watch quickly.


I can understand having USB C on the device end of the cable, but most cables have a Type A connector on the power end. That the wide, flat one.

My wife had similar experience with Apple watch (very expensive) and her iPhone. Similar to your experience PLUS every time that iOS needed an update both the phone and watch needed update and re-mate them... Anywhere from 2 or 3 hours to an entire day fighting the problems, and if you didn't get them updates/mated then the watch didn't work and the iPhone harassed her continually that she had watch not mated. She threw that expensive watch awaw... Lesson learned.


Twenty years ago, that could have been a scene in a comedy sci-fi movie.

UFO'S are real. Our Government even admits to it now.
My guess is that there is more that just one advanced cavillation watching us.
Too many descriptions of different ships seen and filmed and described.


I believe the "UFO" part, but that's as far as I'll go. "Unidentified." I don't believe there is any intelligent life close enough to visit us. I doubt there is any intelligent life anywhere but (supposedly) on earth.
