What have you bought recently?

I'm still saving for what I wan to buy. It might take awhile alhough I have a lot saved. I want a watercolor by Winston Churchill. I love his work. He painted all over Europe after the war and his works are really nice.
If I don't make that goal. I guess its more sock yarn!
 
Yesterday, I bought a set of Bluetooth wireless earbuds because Microsoft Corp (I assume) turned off audio output on my PC, presumably because I can't (and won't) upgrade to Win11.

So, I get the earbuds and they worked great until I tried to recharge them this morning. Turns out the thing you plug into a charging port doesn't fit any of the USB ports or charger blocks I have.

Why the hell do various devices have to require various sized charging ports? Why can't they be universal? I get that they need various voltage levels, but I see no reason why the devices themselves can't have a built-in voltage moderator or regulator or whatever. Surely, that's possible.


Anyway, I irately ordered a multi-port charging station today, and I'm not happy about it.

At least there's no delivery charge, because the stupid thing costs over $40. I mean, that isn't going to break me, but this shouldn't even be a thing, imo.

Couldn’t you just have bought a dongle that does the conversion. They’re cheap.

I have one. It doesn't fit. I could have ordered the right one this morning but it wouldn't be delivered for 3 days. I wanted it today. Plus, the one I ordered has 6 ports, so I feel like I'm covered...at least until this whole USB debacle is obsolete.

Like next week? 🤪
