Right.
Amazon also have it for the same price but one seller had it for $59 so I got the cheaper one only to find out that it was some sort of a "scam". But anyway, I am not bothered by those scammy deals because I know Amazon has my back. At the end of the day, I got one for only $30 bucks for the replacement battery and skates.

Actual Samsung cases are pristine, and finely manufactured, but damn it, this one is slippery!
Almost dropped it a half a dozen times already!!!
I think I still prefer the S View case.

I like this generic brand of phone case from Amazon because it is so slim and the grip is great. I bought the same brand for my last 2 Samsung phones.

I don't see myself buying anything more than 500GB. I normally move all my photos out when I and am over half the capacity of my 256GB phone. What do you do with the 1TB storage space? Music files are not that big, are they?

It's gettin there! Occasionally acquiring Hi-Res files, or re-ripping some of my favorites to FLAC.

There is a 'resident' pack of coyote at the walking trail next to our place scaring all the deer away.

I live in a housing tract but once in a great while a coyote will walk down the street looking for a meal.
At the beach (last spring) a coyote grabbed someone's unattended child but didn't get far before getting chased & dripping the kid.
Poor kid, a coyote can be rapid.

What in the actual feck makes the regular price of the black ones $80 bucks, and the others, $130 bucks!?!?!?

(Such misleading bull-)

One of the reasons I love Prime as well. They've given me several return-less refunds over the years.

Did you get the regular feet? I bought 3rd party ones for both of my MX 3 mice, and am happy I did.

The one time I got a defective product, a complete TV series on DVD, I had to send it back. I have read post where they said that Amazon replaced the item and let them keep the defective item. Looking back at it now, I don't know if it was Amazon making me return it or if the DVDs came from a third-party seller and they wanted it back.

I ordered a 1TB Samsung EVO 870 SSD and an install kit from amazon last night. The SSD arrived sometime before 7:00 this morning and the install kit came around 1:00 this afternoon. The new SSD is going to be for Win 24H2 so I can dual boot. This way I can keep my Canary build and still test 24H2. I have it all setup and running as a portable OS. In fact, I'm running it now. I made the registry change so all I have to do now is install the SSD inside of my desktop and set the dual boot menu.

I am so tempted to place another trade-in like I did 2 years ago for my Samsung S23 Ultra!

Strange how the charges & Trade-in discounts seem to change.
I checked again today & it works out that the S25U is less expensive w/ Trade-in than the S25+ w/ the same trade-in.
here is what I got for $700.00 (+ $100.00 CA 7.75% sales tax on $1,300.!).

Edit: Samsung shipped the S25U today & eta is Tuesday 2/4/2025, excited to get it soon :)

I've been looking for a portable full-size keyboard and found this tri-fold ProtoArc keyboard on Amazon. I was skeptical about it at first but I was so surprised how good it is. This completes my wireless setup when I show up on any of our hotel desk office. I am not so comfortable using shared keyboard and mouse.
Wireless mouse, wireless keyboard, wireless phone charger and open-ear headset (with removable magnetic mic boom).

I was about to place my order but my wife told me I can't trade-in my S23 Ultra as she wants me to hand it down to our daughter as her first mobile phone. She doesn't want to get a brand new phone for our daughter because she might just lose it. I guess I'll wait a little bit for a good deal without trade-in. Hahaha...

When I purchased my last Samsung phone a S22 Ultra I waited until 1.5 years after release & got a great deal on it @ Amazon ($800.00)
