I appreciate that in our modern world, people take the time to write reviews for toilet brushes and plungers.
Now that Samsung seems to be actively promoting this model, you've probably seen the commercial where a girl seems to balance the phone, half-folded, on a steel bolt. She's not balancing it. The phone has an internal magnet that just loves to grab onto other ferrous item when, say, you lay it down on a desk with a lot of other ferrous items.It seems like they did a reasonably good job with the screen. There's alway a visible dip where the split is though. You don't really notice it. At least I don't, but I seem to have this preternatural ability to screen things out - except when I really need to (f'ing stupid ass brain).
I was hoping that opening and closing would result in a satisfying detente-type click. But for this model (don't know about previous ones), you can half fold it so you can stand it upright to take a picture.
Also, for such petite little thing, it's pretty heavy. The "drug" scale says 189.1 grams or 6.7 oz. That doesn't sound very heavy until you stuff all of that mass into a very small package.
Bought these at the I-80 Flea Market (Tinley Park, IL) earlier today.
Kellogs Nutri-Grain Blueberry - $2
Chips Ahoy! Chewy - $1 each
Vitner Fried Pork Skin - $3
Nest Protect (2nd Generation/S3000BWES) - $5 each.

2nd gen Sonos One
Pretty nice little speaker
That is how it starts. I started with play 1s, then another set of play ones. Then a set of play 3s. Then a beam gen 2. Then I got rid of a set of play 1s and replaced with with a pair of sonos 5...
Now it's beam and 2 ones in the front rom, 2 sonos5 in the dining room and a pair of sonos 3 in the kitchen. Yearly bonus is this month and Im thinking of getting a sub...
Seems like a nice ability - definitely a benefit of owning your own place. Cooking smoke often makes my dog hide, because of a touchy smoke detector in our old place. Our current "luxury" rental (aka, built in the last 15 years) seems to have a really good detector though that has never gone off in any cooking smoke. Even still, I got a HEPA air purifier with a charcoal filter a few weeks ago to use when cooking, and we also have a dual window fan that can be set to circulate or exhaust to help clear out smoke.Just got a Nest Protect from the Google Store last week with my $200 credit for getting the Pixel 7 pro. But it has different packaging. It is the wired one with battery backup but it's a different box, also has the two checkmarks to differentiate between wired or battery. Weird. No way Google is selling 1st gen still so it just must have been older packaging you got.
Having it installed Thursday. Don't have a ladder to reach my high ceilings and no garage to store a ladder in even if I bought one. No more dog getting scared of the smoke alarm when I cook though - can manually turn it off while cooking high smoke recipes

I put an ecobee thermostat in, but that's about the extent of my upgrades. We're probably in this place for maybe 2 more years, then onto wherever where my wife will do her residency.If you plan on living long-term you could just install it yourself and leave it or take it when you go, or even ask the landlord/property management if you upgrade would they take some of that off the rent.
