This short battery life explains why there is only 1 apple commercial featuring a man being saved by his watch after falling in the woods. Everyone else is dead (like their battery).

Thanks I will try that out and see what I get.

I have had a Samsung Gear S3 Frontier. The battery lasts 2 full days and part of a 3rd day. However, I don't have WiFi turned on, no GPS, and especially no Bluetooth. With Bluetooth turned on along with WiFi, the battery won't last a full day. I love the watch but I use it mainly as a watch and fitness tracker for daily step counts and heart rate monitoring. I leave everything else to my iPhone. As a side note, I designed my own watch face through Facer.io. Awesome interface where you design online and then push out the design to your watch.

After 10 years of using an Android phone, my family finally convinced (coerced?) me into buying an iphone.
I got the iPhone 13 basic.
My wife and daughter got iPhones a couple of years back. My daughter got the watch last year, and my wife just got one for Mother's Day this year. They have been trying to convince me to change ever since they got their phones. I think they just want me on one so I can support them. Every time they need help, my answer is always, "I don't know, but on my Android, I just ..." (They hate that. [Evil Grin] )
Now they have convinced my older son to switch over. The three of them like showing us how they can use their watches like mini walkie-talkies.
I keep telling them that I am happy with my Android. When I asked my younger son if he wanted to get an iPhone and watch too, he just said, "I like my Android. Besides, I really don't want to have Mom constantly trying to talk to me through my watch."
The coercions continue, but I think my son and I will hold out fine.

Hi All,
Logged in from Work (for the first time). Hmmm, I am not sold on the HP monitors we have to use. Appear to use the dodgy Display port connection and are a little odd in that when they wake up (not power cycled...) they have a visible flickering / wiggly line down them which works itself across the screen. Also the random turn off for about 2 seconds. If I bought them they would have gone back.

Huzzah! Your wallet is glad you are working.
Is the bartender at the pub happy though?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Been working for some time, didn't want to log in too soon... yes the moths have escaped, mind you these days nearly everything is done via card, as for the Bar Tender he muttered something covid and elephant-ed off...

Maybe you have American models with a different Hz setting?

Don't think its that after all it powered off a switch mode and it's digital comms to the monitor via Display Port...

I have to HP monitors (the third is Philips), one DVI-I and one HDMI... Both work perfectly... Yo may have and HDMI beside DisplayPort you can switch to, it is very common...

It's all hooked via Display Port, thinking back you could 'con' display port to show non-standard resolutions...

IT Support - fix it. Glitches in the video are not acceptable. Send me your post address, and I will email you "Mr. Paperclip" that will permanently kill your glitchy monitor.
I have zero toleration for IT groups that toss out crap to developers.

Further poking reveals it could be the docking station... Also I'm a Hardware Guy not a Softie (I refuse to call LabView a programming language )

Amen to that (the tabview comment).
My reference to Mr. Paperclip goes back to a conversation in 2001. Another group of engineers was trying to work on 15" monochrome displays that were horrendous. I asked their manager, who is one of two of the biggest ass-hats I have ever met, why he didn't buy them current tech. I had just upgraded my team's displays to 21" Viewsonics (heyday at the time). "They still work." He said this in front of his team.
After he left, I suggested they just drop a paperclip down inside the electronics.

After death, the priest and scribe supervised. (12)

Administered ?
After death = Ad ( Anno Domini )
Priest = minister
Scribe = Ed ( editor )

Yes, you solved it Pete. Here's your first place medallion : 🏅

Doesn't Anno Domini mean "Year of the Lord"?

Thank you! I tried - I even hastily threw my answer up before going back to edit in the definition, but Pete was just too foxy for me!

I meant Randor, Landor is a dodgy pub in Brixton
