Productivity Laptops, Tablets Cellphones

Let me say, I love to have a Steam Deck as a companion.

Simply, it is Linux based PC and portable, the games (I was an addict for life but not now) that comes with it would have been a big bonus during Coronavirus lockdown.

The pandemic is a master stroke in nature I never saw it coming as a medical man.

It is a tsunami in multiple waves in which recovery is going to be very slow and incomplete.

The economic impact is much worse and even if I had extra money I would not have bought it a Steam Deck.

But some people have managed to save money as a little bonus during lockdown and may be inclined to go techies.

Steamed Valve is prudent to ask for pre-orders but many of them would not purchase it eventually.

If they mass produce it might lead to a big flop.

I have all the items I need collected over 10 years and the tablet is the oldest (bought 10 years ago) which is being used now for playing bridge and few other games the SIM of it is disabled by default.

This tablet went into complete freeze mode  and did not want to investigate fully charged it and removed the SIM.

When you do that it goes into default factory  mode which was my experience with TV.

Then about a year later I put a SIM with enough data and kept it plugged to the the TV.
One day I realized it has come to life.
Year 2017.
Android 6.
Memory 2 GB.

I immediately downloaded all my.favorite applications and once finish my data removed the SIM.

NP internet and no viruses.
No.breakdowns.

I.learned all this from a cheap Chinese AMPE tablet with KitKat 4.3.

I have to replace the battery once and its second battery is dead and I won't bother to.buy a new one.

I hacked it enough to learn about Androids.

I have few other old cellphones (GreenTel) which I use when on travelling abroad and fully updated bur rarely used.

I do not hand to go looking.for batteries.

Having several cheap phones is an advantage.

If one is lost no.problem but they do not breakdown if not used daily.

It save money  on SIM use.

Heavy work is always done on.the PC.

The cellphone is the latest buy (one year old) and it is a solid Nokia with updated Android version 11.

I knew our money is going to depreciate but certainly not  to the extent of.over 200 per dollar.

I cashed some saved dollars to buy one extra cellphone for extra security.

Using a single cellphone and heavy use of it is a liability on battery, accidental falls and spills of coffee.

Your cheapest one should be the one used for calls.and no.images to battery life.

The better one at your bedside and for the Internet and few games when bored.

Thank you Google for back up and regular updates.

But my workhorse is my laptop which I bought in Singapore 5 years ago when I realized many portable gadgets will hit the market and the one CEO woman of HP decided to stop production of laptops.

This is where Chinese jumped the bandwagon to produce cheap IBM computers.

I rarely use the PC now but which is updated to latest Debian.

I have to wait till October for Ubuntu 21-10.

I have not seen any new  Lenova laptops in Ceylon with severe import restrictions in place to report their performances.

If you have money do not wait for Android 12 which will not even come to Ceylon for ages.

Buy any phone left in the stock before they  go out of stock.

I advise you get rid of your wedding ring (which has no user value) and buy a good cellphone which brand you buy simply does not matter at all.

By the way, the gold has gone up in price.

The price of petrol will remain high.

High rising building going to a big flop.

Growing manioc will never make you rich but plant some Jack (remember Koss Mama or Arthur V Dieus) Trees for the future grandchildren.

Now we have *My Loss Mamas* in power and in debt.

Colour matching in nature

If not for the shining eyes I would have missed this guy.
Do not think.that only chamellion can do the trick.

Hiding Place

Finally I found the hiding place of the tree frog.
Just under the fish tank.
