I've been busy lately. Busy with small things that drive you crazy because of lack of knowledge.
My ear bud issue has been on the back burner because other things took priority. I finally got to the ear buds and ran a trouble shoot program and they said I was good to go and they meant it. I now have my new ear buds functioning.
I got the SD card issue solved. You were right to say don't buy a store warranty. The SD card cost $14.00 and they wanted $5.00 for a two year warranty. I hope they go broke trying to sell that one.
Now I thought I'd find out how dumb I am when comes to computers. I picked up a book in the library called Windows 10 for Seniors. Guess what. Half of the printing is so small that I can't read it. I have my new magnifying glass out and some of it I still can't read because not only is it small but pastele colors are used.
However , I'm still learning things. Next time I go to the library, I'll look for a better book on windows 10.
Did I tell you that I got a new super duper magnifying glass. Yes, I got a nice magnifying glass form the Casino in a goody bag. There were several other items. I don't think I'll wear the touque with Winners Edge on it!
Oh my, don't get me started on the little things that need doing. Sometimes I have so many of them that I don't think I'll ever catch up. Funny enough ever now and then it seems my list is very short but suddenly it will become very long once again. It's nice when we 'tick' things off the list as you seem to be doing!
ReplyDeleteThat is SO irritating when stuff is printed for seniors in blasted tiny type. I'm surprised how tiny the info on Rx labels can be. Light colors is just dumb. Yep, get a different book. How about one of the "Dummy" books? They seem to have good drawings too. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteI have been using the magnifying glass feature on my iPhone and iPad to read tiny print. As for the Winners Edge touque, I think you are a winner by being persistent and having success!
ReplyDeleteThis is what keeps us busy, small things! You take care!
ReplyDeleteA magnifying glass is helpful at many things. My husband uses one regularly.
ReplyDeleteI'm always looking for good magnifying glasses these days. I'll check that one out if I can find it online.
ReplyDeleteSue had some problems with her earbuds. They replaced them, and I think they're good now.
ReplyDeleteUm, I hate to break it to you but Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 10 in just eleven months from now. You should perhaps focus on Windows 11.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Red, on getting through some of the things on your "to-do" list. It seems as if once I figure out some new technology, they change it or introduce something else I don't know about. So confusing.
ReplyDeleteYeah for you conquering technology!
ReplyDeleteRed, Now that you’ve mentioned it, I’ll bet most of us out here want to see that touque with Winners Edge on it! 😊 John
ReplyDeleteGlad the little things got taken care of. There'll always be more little things coming to replace those but you now know how to handle them. I have a list that goes on forever it sometimes seems. :)
ReplyDeleteGood for you to persevere.
ReplyDeleteI need a good magnifying glass too. They print instructions so teeny tiny on medication bottles, it's crazy.
ReplyDeleteMy computer just told me that it would no long send me updates to Windows 10 and that I would need to upgrade to Windows 11. I'll need to ask my son-in-law about this. Sigh....
Hello,
ReplyDeleteEither my eyes are worse or companies are purposely making things to small to read. I am glad your ear buds are working now! Take care, have a great day and happy weekend!
Looks like you have been very productive and successful too. That real tiny print, I take a photo and then enlarge it. Doesn’t work for everything but I do well reading it.
ReplyDeleteyour post reminded me many things that caused trouble only because lack of knowledge and i got it later :(
ReplyDeleteglad you fixed ear bud issue
oh i too can't small prints ,my masters books gave me headache because they were printed so small as they were only copies
