Well,
I could go back to posting word checksums. I enjoy solving puzzles but don't like creating them for the next day. Better yet... I should probably go back into Lurk mode[^].
Best Wishes,

Oh... Dang! I considered it, but then when I looked if prisoner was a container indicator I didn't find it, so I moved on.

No, really, it's not!
I need to program a remote switch via Bluetooth to a smart 'phone. Both ends are the easy bit. It's the hardware in the middle that's worrying me.
I need a really small, I mean a really, really small - smaller than a very small thing - bluetooth board, that can just talk to an android device and send h/w switch presses to it, nothing more. The user presses a h/w switch, and the 'phone logs it.
If I forgot everything I know about such boards, I would quite possible know more about them than I do now.
There seems to be an HC-05 or 06 out there, but I have no idea if they would do the job. They are actually larger than I would like, anyway. Also, I guess I would need a BLE device.
Does the hive-mind of CP have any idea of what's worth looking at?
Pretty please?

Oh yes. Very much so. Nothing at all to do with your problem though ...

Thanks very much for that. It's going to be one hell of a learning curve!
I tracked it back to ONS and read a lot of stuff.
I now know 10 times what I used to - 10 x zero = er… zero.

Bluno Beetle[^] is 29x33mm, about the same as a SD card. If you need smaller than that you will probably need to design and build your own board.
HC-05/06 are serial to Bluetooth modules and need a separate microcontroller.

Fantastic! That's exactly what I am looking for - right size, right price!
Many thanks for the link. I am now one happy teddy!

It's my first time with a Borderland game, and I am having a blast!
I have to stress it out to wash out the bad reviews on the web! ^_^
I was listening to this youtube critic which make a good critic of the good and bad of it!
Borderlands 3 Has Made A DAMN Point - YouTube
For me, the 2 things that I caught while cooking potatoes:
The shooter - vehicles - parcours - semi open world game play is awesome.
It's not an RPG, no multiple ending depending on player choice. In fact the player feels more like a spectator than the main protagonist in the story. Got front row seat though!

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

They are using it at my company!
On the stock take tables, I can see items arriving at their destination before leaving their previous location!

for mine travel agents are becoming a thing of the past too.
I'll either go direct (nearly always for airlines), or if using "cheapest deal search" websites for accomm prefer those that pass bookings straight through and let you interact directly with the ho/motel for payments / deposits.

What I don't fully understand is how they can go bust before they have paid their bills (and hoteliers get paid 60 ~ 90 days after the guest has left) but they get fully paid by the holiday makers months in advance. So they know their income well in advance, they know their major outgoings well in advance, they have their own air fleet, ...

Perhaps the managers' bonuses were calculated at strategic times in the year (after receiving payment, but before paying their suppliers). This would tend to inflate the bonuses well above their justified level, based on an annualised calculation.

Exactly what was going through my mind. They know the future operating cost of the planes, give or take to allow for fuel price charges. They know what the hotels will cost them when they sign the contract with the provider, they know their staff costs, airport charges etc. etc.

Isn't that just what companies with financial difficult do though... pretend the problem doesn't exist. Carry on as usual and assume it will sort itself out.
Ever heard of a company saying: "Hey, we aren't doing well, we are going to close before we get into debt and can't afford to pay our bills"?
