I wanted a clip for our cat's wet food so it would stay fresh longer after opening since he doesn't eat a whole pack every time we feed him. I went to order something but then realized "I have a 3d printer" so.. here we are. It works well.

I think I am going to change the time for my time-lapse though. It goes by a little too fast.

Thanks for the suggestions.I'm under the impression a new 10" android tablet is the easy path for me.

I am due to upgrade my old 2007 desktop. I leave it off until I need to retrieve information related to my business (old subdivision plot plans, files, soil test data, etc). I have it all backed up on thumb drives that are bigger than the 4G internal hard drive! Lol. I have a ~2011 laptop too, heavy/clunky by today's standards and of course the battery is shot and it must be plugged in to operate.

I don't go online with either of them anymore, their windows OS is no longer supported. It hasn't been an issue on line because I use the kindle for all online activity.

My PC died years ago and I switched to tablets.

I'm on my second Samsung tablet. Both are android and have Chrome and Samsung browser. I like the Samsung one better as it has features that Chrome doesn't.

Although I haven't downloaded Brave on either, I'm almost sure I could. I remember putting Dolphin on my old tablet. It sucked, BTW, and I uninstalled it.

First was 7", this one is 10". Been pretty happy with them both.

This tablet is getting up there in years and I've been thinking of getting a new one.

Have no clue how Samsungs are now, but it would probably be the first I would check out.

Here I am holding my 8" and you go bragging about your big 10"! Lol! Color me envious.

I love Samsung TV's, found them to be very good quality since the '90s. If the tablets are as good, I could be in the market for one too. As long as it's an android ... no more Amazon for me ... after the one I'm using now.

My tablets are android.

I've got a Samsung 55", flat screen, 'smart', (although, probably dumb by today's standards - wifi but no camera or mic just hookups for at least a camera -and I like it that way),TV that's 12 years old and still going strong.

Oh, and about my big 10"? Just don't go steppin' on it! 😄

(Thanks for the set up, betcha saw that one coming from a mile away! 😁)

yeah, I get that. Plenty of us are nerds here. I would suggest a lot of changes to your data backup plans though.

If you ever want to talk about it or want suggestions on a PC/Laptop let me know.

You feel 2 thumb drive backups are inadequate?

3-2-1 strat and at least 1 (ideally two) should be offsite and with multiple copies.

Bit-rot is real and can really screw you. I have been looking at a few cloud options but using something that pre-encrypts everything before transit as my "oh shit" option where everything else is not recoverable.

A huge fire a few years back would have taken out everything if it was at my house and in a safe deposit box with no way to recover it. I hate the cloud idea but other than buying/renting a rack of my own in a datacenter and managing it, its the next best solution (Can't rely on friends/family to maintain a system in their homes even if they are technical).
