      Yep, when we did our road trip around Lake Michigan I downloaded the maps for the U.P. just in case and good thing too since we lost cell coverage almost immediately after entering the U.P.

        • Are any of my fellow forumites in need of SATA hard drives for storage? I recently upgraded my Synology NAS and have a quantity of 6 TB, 4 TB, and 2 TB HGST NAS drives for sale, and additionally a Syno DX513 NAS expansion cabinet.

            • There was discussion recently about streaming games.

              I didn't think about it at the time...... but the NFL app allows me to watch all in-market games based on my location .

              The official source for NFL news, video highlights, fantasy football, game-day coverage, schedules, stats, scores and more.


              One time, running a few minutes late, we were watching it while walking up to the stadium in Detroit.

              It made me wonder if anyone has used that NFL app and a vpn spoofing their location to watch games in other markets. hmmmmm. I don't need to try it, cuz I am covered. But I wonder if that would work for overseas users.

              • Several years ago in the days of jail breaking iPhones I had tried streaming Charter via tv tuner cards with PPTP VPN and the app was smart enough to detect it. That was about the time that banking apps started and I stopped jailbreaking phones as the apps were programmed to detect the jail broken state of the device.

                • I said I was going to move on to a folding phone, maybe I'll wait until the 3rd gen to make sure it is of quality...

                  • I like that. After it's been out a year or 2 (after they work out the inevitable bugs) I'm going to get one.

                    • This is already the 2nd gen. They had to pull back the 1st to work on its quality. Plus, it's allegedly only available in S Korea and 1 or two countries (not the US).
                      ??????
                      When it gets here to my area WITH 5G capabilities, the reviews should give me enough to go on, one way or the other.

                        • The Amazon Fire Stick TV 4k is still on sale for $39.99 + tx instead of the normal $49.99 + tx.

                          There are several name brand wi-fi extending type devices, routers and modems on sale as well. I'm not versed at all in their usefulness but I think I'll be adding something like them at a future date after I see how the current streaming Fire Sticks I'm using continue to hold up. Nearly one week in and my regular fast Spectrum internet /wi fi is feeding all devices just fine.

                          PLEASE USE THE FORUM AMAZON LINK!

                          • Samsung made major improvements to the design of its first foldable phone after the Fold suffered screen breakages that delayed its sale.

                            • Okay. Next year. I just bought my daughter a phone earlier this year and I'm not buying 2 in one calendar year. I just got this phone last year.
