So yesterday when I went downstairs, my phone was at bout 90% charged. I didn’t use it at all, all day. Wen I went upstairs, about 10 hours later, it was dead. So dead that all I got was a picture of a phone charging. So dead that I couldn’t use the pad to charge it, but actually had to search for a cable to plug into it. WTF? Yes, it is old, by phone standards (an iPhone X). I was afraid that it wouldn’t even charge. But by the time I crawled into bed, it had booted up and was showing my background pic. I had to guess at the time between eye drops - normally I use my phone to tell me when 15 minutes has passed between applications. I has e no other clocks nearby. So, I’m buying a timer for the bathroom. 🤣🤣
And I’m planning on needing a new phone in the near future.

Before you get a new phone, look up how much it costs to replace the battery on the one you have now. It's probably way cheaper than buying new.

Finally got my notebook and not super impressed. Supposed to have backlit keyboard and doesn't which was one of my two deciding factors and the other I had already conceded.
This morning the sound didn't work (I know, right?)I already had to reinstall the audio drivers.
But it has a larger screen than the old one and a 1080 display.
Sure beats using my phone.

I haven’t had luck with phone/tablet repair. Ubreakifix totally fucked up my previous iPad Pro when they replaced the smashed screen.
I monitored the battery all day yesterday and it held power just fine, although my attention did cause more usage than normal 🤣🤣. I’m keeping an eye on it. The only reason I upgraded from a 7 to a X was because the 7 wouldn’t charge anymore. Hopefully I can hold out for a 15. 😜
And John, I actually ordered a new Mac book a couple months ago. Then I realized that the only reason I needed it was so I could update the maps on my Gavin GPS. I can do everything I need to on a tablet. So I canceled the order.

John - did you pay extra for the backlit keys? If so, I'd be returning that bad boy for what I actually paid for.
