All I want for CHRISTMAS is........

That's what I need. Something to tell time - like my cell phone in my pocket already does. For my post graduate ceremony 1990s, got a nice Movado that has been sitting in the dresser drawer ever since phones could tell time. One more screen to manifest my OCD issues. Hard pass

Sounds like a good enough excuse. Then again what happens when that feature comes out in that their phone in your pocket

Our first home here in the valley was on mostly 5 Acres or more plots. The Watson's were due east of us .... Joe passed in his 90's & Betty lived/drove herself well into the next decade as she was much younger than joe. She had a stroke and laid on her floor for an estimated 3 or 4 days with none of her sons checking up on her - before somebody called and then came in to see what happened. Yikes. I could see how such a tool would be very handy. The good thing was her son's gave her a "wake" a good 5 years before she passed. So we technically got to celebrate her life while she was still very much alive.

Those look handy.

Here is my version of modern tech, I should probably be ashamed.

 

i had a flip phone and $10./mo. att service up until 2 years ago, when comcast offered a free iphone with a 2 year $15./mo. contract.

 

I have a Pixel 7 I bought last year for $99 after trading in a 3-year-old Pixel 5. But I rarely use my smartphone as a phone. I do have a pay-as-you-go SIM in it that costs me $3.30/mo. It is on WiFi most of the time. I also have a Nokia 6300 4G "candy bar" phone I use for voice and text. It was $39, and I have a dual SIM both with limited but enough text and voice, one for $3.38/mo (AT&T MNVO) and another for $2.50/mo (Tmobile MMVO).

How did you insert the image in-line? We are having problems uploading images or any files. The only way so far mentioned in the other thread is to disable the JavaScript. Only then, I can upload the image file and use the link to show the image uploaded.

 

Buaaahahaaaa

like my blasphemous "Noel" candles?

Humm, I have no idea. But selective "bug".

 

I right clicked the internet image of my phone and selected the image option from the dropdown box - then right clicked empty space under my message and selected paste. I wonder if the type of image extension matters? The first image of my phone I selected could not be pasted on this forum.

 

Maybe. I think as long as the image already has a URL link, then inserting by coping is possible. The problem is the figure file that has no URL.. maybe

EDIT: No, the figure still does not show... It shows on Preview, but not after saving, at least the link I used does not.

 

BTW, this problem is being discussed in this thread:

Let's try this.

OK, it works... with a few coding fixes. But still not as easy as copy and paste as before the server migration.

 

ApWa9 remains available according to first CNET link and this:

Apple Wins Appeal to Temporarily Pause Watch Import Ban

So those in search of imported products continue to not be inconvenienced by needing to buy from US company Masimo.

 

the trouble with phones and televisions and computers, etc. is that no matter how often you upgrade, the song remains the same.

 

I actually grumpily do need to replace ~6 yr old wifi. It was designed to reduce signal strength in presence of other signals. Good neighbor policy ... Newer ones that have come into vicinity are bullies and do not throttle down.

I need me a bully, or to move computer to within 3 meters of wifi. Which ain't very 'wi'.

 

i had tried that with little success. the best thing that came along were these little 'pods' that you plug into an electrical outlet where the signal is weak. they work pretty well.

 

Thanks for the idea. I will visit 121 street (where sellers of such are clustered) and see what's on offer.

Years ago there were many little electro tech shops on 121 street where large variety of little gadgets were sold. Resistors, diodes spools of shielded cable to name a few. The place got gentrified or whatever and now only shops selling finished products. Grumpy about that also.
