Bought one of these, well actually 4, from Amazon. USB C to USB A adapter. Showed up in notifications. Plugged in a random flash drive. Said it was read-only because it was NTFS. It was able to play a video on that drive. Evidently it’s expecting FAT32 for read/write access.

Samsung Eye Saver mode
Just tried out Eye Saver mode on my new Samsung monitor. I think I like it. It’s like my Linux redshift mode.
Bombarded with 4Patriots ads
Sometimes I look at a video because I’m skeptical of the topic, and I want to do a little research. That’s the case for theses 4Patriots solar generators. The whole marketing spiel (not speal) seems suspect to me. I’ve seen enough to know… I have no interest in them. However because I’ve watched a few …

New Anker battery packs
Do I have to discuss everything? I received my Anker 10,000mAh battery pack replacements (model 1388A) a few days ago. OK great… life goes on. How much is there to say? Except I pressed the button and turned it on and after charging it and it says 100%. So I plug my low power USB …
Got new USB fan
Just a quick test. Ran on medium speed, on new battery pack. After… 2 hrs… 95%3 hrs… 92%6 hrs… 84% I think it’s safe to say it will run 3, 6 hr nights easily. Neither the fan or battery pack got hot or even warm.
Installed new monitor
Looks very nice… but I need sunglasses now. Didn’t realize how washed out my old monitor was. Was easy to assemble without instructions. But I had to look at them to change some settings. The power button was the magic, it rocks to other settings. I currently have brightness set to 15. The redshift automatic …
Bought a new Samsung monitor
From BJ’s. My current monitor, which started out as a TV (Sansui), is fading fast. The colors are all washed out. It has lasted a long time. Bought another 24″. That’s what my work area has room for. I found it hard to determine the model, from the box… or instructions. BJ’s web page describes …
Need a new monitor soon
It’s been failing for months. Now it’s getting dim.
