TV Shows?

Not being able to ride my bike the last two days, I watched a few of the first season episodes of Elementary on Prime. Its debut was in 2012 and I tried to watch a couple of the shows. The show is fairly heavy in dialog and at the time, without hearing aids, I struggled to follow the show.

Heart Trauma Recovery

Aren't them learning experiences fun ?

My first H/A was when I was asleep, it woke me up and I knew right away something was not right, I did not necessarily think something was wrong, I just knew something was not right.

I had the classic feeling of an elephant on my chest and since I did not understand what was happening I went back to sleep.
got up the next morning and went to work and the office girls immediately said, "what is wrong with you?"

I said nothing, I did not sleep well last nite and they kept raggin on me until I let one of them take me to the emergency room where they did some testing and advised me I had a heart attack the night before ! ! !

The second one was the pain the shoulder/chest thing and I knew what that meant.

By the time I got to the ER I was almost in full H/A mode.

Yup, not something to take lightly when your body is giving you signs.

Funny real life stories...

Alright, something really funny, we all played a game called imagine if... And we where got to a quesiton about "Battle of.." Right, 1) Star Wars, 2) Battle of 1812, 3)Battle of the bands, 4) Battle Royale, 5) Battle ship. (let us say that is what is on the card)

I subconsciously picked one, and my sister said "I chose three" I said in my best Yoda Voice "I want to teach Luke, Tamboriene train, then the force."

What are you listening to?

Actually, I was listening to and watching an old concert video that is on Prime. I saw this reunion concert many decades ago and and enjoyed it and when I saw it was on Prime, I jumped on it. I'm sure it can be had on the net. It's been out of sight and out of mind. I'm talking about a reunion concert at Albert Hall of the the Everly Brothers recorded in September of 1983. The tight harmony and perfect timing wows me, especially after they went their separate ways a decade earlier. Only brothers could be so as one in a song... or an entire concert of songs.
added: I see that it is to be viewed on the net and I also see that all of that tight harmony and timing was displayed across 29 songs. Pretty unreal.

Hearing Health and Hearing Aids

My buddy got his new hearing aids last Monday. I text him asking how he likes them. He said I'm hearing way too much. :) I understand that. I feel the same with mine. I hear things I've never heard before. I have a battery powered wall clock that I've had on my office wall for years that I now hear ticking. I'm learning to boot the aids app on my phone after turning on the phone in the mornings. The aids work flawlessly without the app for hearing but to stream audio and notifications and phone calls, the app needs to be booted. My audi said that isn't the way they work but it's the way they work with my S21. Not a big deal. I'm also learning not to vocalize my feelings about the sports I'm watching. I get too loud and it cuts the ambient volume and then slowly brings it back up. I mowed the leaves in my yard while wearing the aids. They did a fair job of suppressing the harmful volume of the engine. My Bose buds do a better job. No complaint. I don't intend on wearing aids to mow. It was only a test.

To sum up this mini review, I'm very pleased with my Sennheiser Sonite R aids that are made for Costco by Phonak. They are working really well for me all day on a charge without a problem. They are hearing aids and not a hearing fix like every other brand of aid. My buddy and my son's MIL all just bought aids from Costco and we all went with different brands. All three of us are very happy with our purchases. I think Costco upped their game.

Samsung Samsung Galaxy S24 - How to transfer data from Windows PC

I have had many Android phones, including several Samsungs, and have always been able to copy files from my Windows PC.

However, just got an S24 and I am struggling!

I connect it to the PC with a USB cable and nothing happens. Normally, the PC would recognise it and offer some options.

I can go into the phone settings and under "USB Settings" I can see "USB Controlled by" with 2 options "Connected device" and "This device".

There are also options under "Use USB for" and one of these is "Transferring Files / Android Auto", but all the options are greyed out and cannot be selected.

I am guess I need to do something else - can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

Thanks

*UPDATE* Sorted - it was the cable!!!!!
Usually it is sometimes the cable, easy plug it in and chose the selection, the only way I ever do a remote cloud is on my pc!
