Pick one cross-platform library and stick to it. Google Photos is the simplest, or Amazon Photos if you already have Prime. Install the apps to auto-upload from both phones, consolidate the laptop and USBs on a computer, run dupeGuru to remove duplicates, use PhotoMove or ExifTool to fix dates, then upload the cleaned set. Keep an offline copy by mirroring that master folder to a 2–4 TB external drive with FreeFileSync and refresh it after big imports or a Google Takeout export.

Coffee makers can leak from the bottom due to issues like worn seals, cracks in the reservoir, or mineral buildup blocking proper water flow. Given that your unit is only a month old and cleaning or tightening parts hasn't resolved it, the problem might stem from a manufacturing defect in the water reservoir or heating element assembly. Start by unplugging the machine and inspecting the bottom for visible cracks or loose components; if none are apparent, descale it using a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water run through a brew cycle, followed by two cycles of plain water to rinse. If descaling doesn't stop the leak, contact the manufacturer for warranty support since it's likely defective. As a reliable replacement that fits small spaces with its compact design measuring 8.25 inches wide and a budget-friendly price under $30, consider the Amazon Basics coffee maker. It actually features a 60-ounce reservoir for multiple brews and a removable filter basket for easy cleaning. One minor drawback is the lack of programmable settings, but it brews consistently without leaks based on user reviews, making it a solid, no-frills option for daily use.

Hey Stephanie. For starting out and aim for a student friendly set with plenty of small tubes so you can test colors without wasting paint. Make sure it includes a few brushes and stays close to your budget and since you do not need pro grade paints yet to get vibrant results. I would grab Acrylic paint set with brushes. You get 24 colors and 3 brushes, which keeps things simple and vibrant for home projects. The small tubes help prevent paint from drying out on the palette because you only squeeze what you need, and the paint spreads smoothly on canvas, wood, and paper. To slow drying a bit, mist your palette with a spray bottle and work in small puddles. A quick DIY stay wet palette using a damp paper towel topped with baking parchment also helps keep paints open longer for blending.

Yes a regular hard case is usually fine as long as nothing in the top pocket presses on the sticks. If you feel pressure when closing, rotate the console or move the elastic between the sticks and you are set.

Yes, you should be fine. Most chest harnesses use the GoPro standard quick release buckle and the two prong thumbscrew interface, so if your compact cam uses that same two prong mount the base plate and latch geometry will match. I would go with Suptig Chest Mount because it follows the GoPro spec and is sold as compatible with non GoPro models like AKASO and DJI, which means your two prong setup will slot in without weird spacing issues. Quick check before you buy. If your camera accepts a GoPro style thumbscrew and the prongs line up cleanly, you are good. If your camera only has a 1/4 inch tripod socket then you would need a small GoPro adapter to use any chest harness.

What you are describing is classic lithium battery voltage sag under load. Cold storage in an unheated garage makes internal resistance spike, so the pack looks full at rest, then the moment you pull the trigger a weak cell dips and the protection cuts output. If it happens with two packs, either both are cold or both are aging. A drill with extra drag can make it worse too. Bring a battery inside to warm up to room temp, then try the drill again. Also spin the drill with no bit for a minute and listen for roughness that would point to gearbox or chuck drag. A simple routine helps a lot. Keep packs indoors and only pop one into the tool when you are ready to work. Give the tool a 20 to 30 second no‑load spin to gently warm the cells before driving screws. Store batteries around half charge if they will sit more than a few weeks, then top up the day you need them. Do two easy cycles to recalibrate the gauge by charging fully, resting an hour, then running the drill at low speed with light load until it stops and recharging again. Use the low gear for screws and drill pilot holes so you are not hammering the pack with big current spikes. If you can, borrow a known good warm battery from someone on the same system to confirm whether your drill is fine. If your platform is Craftsman V20 and the packs are simply tired, a fresh higher capacity pack will hold voltage better under load and give you more working time. TURPOW V20 7.0Ah 2-pack has a larger 7.0Ah capacity and you get two packs so one can stay warm while you use the other, which directly fights that under‑load collapse you are seeing.

Skip the phone app and use an IR universal remote, program the TV first then the soundbar, and try alternate codes or auto search if one fails. If the bar uses HDMI ARC enable the TV HDMI control so volume passes through and you only program the TV, and pick a remote without an always-on backlight to extend battery life.
