AmazonBasics USB-C 3.1 10-Port Hub with Power Adapter - 65W (20V/3.25A), Silver



Didn't care for this 3 port plug. 
Amazon Basics have come across as very solid quality.  This hub is no exception.  It seems like there are never enough USB ports.  I tested this on a Chromebox and it worked very well.  I also tested it with a standard USB cable as opposed to the C type and it worked just as well.   I do not have many units with a USB-C port.   The only down side I see is that they used one of those weird three circular port power cables to the power brick.   Shades of the old Dell power brick cable if you lost you were screwed until you could get the proprietary cable back. I don’t know of Dell got over that but I was surprised that they didn’t use a standard cable for the brick.  Probably had a good reason but I don’t know it.  Otherwise this will be a valuable addition to my gear.

Samsung FlipShot-ho hum

I just got the Samsung FlipShot aka SCH-U900. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am very family oriented, specifically focused on grandchildren. I frequently lament that I don’t have my camera on me. However, I always have my phone on me. Thusly I wanted a phone with a decent camera. The FlipShot comes close. Samsung claims it is a 3 megapixel camera with flash and zoom. The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You
