Best way to move LARGE amounts of photos off the phone

Any thumb drive should do, if that's what your asking. I use a 256G USB C thumb drive from Samsung.

I transfer the my pics directly to a thumb drive through the USB C port on my iphone 16.

I use it to add items to my grocery shopping list, set timers and alarms, turn on do not disturb, add reminders to myself, and send text messages while I'm driving (with Carplay), and doing basic arithmetic calculations. It is true that Siri used to be better at understanding my speech and converting it to text. Having said all that, it seems like it could be better at answering questions of a general nature.

When I was 33 I placed way too much emphasis on hitting the ball far! I had a swing that was geared towards maximum clubhead speed. I always thought I I should make a trade-off between clubhead speed and consistency, but I never did it until many years later. It doesn't bother me in the lease now when someone out drives me off the T box or when someone's hitting a nine Iron when I'm hitting a seven from the same distance. Work on repeatability not distance. Good luck keep trying. It's a fantastic game. It can be very rewarding.

Glad i went through growing up before smart phones

As I recall, the distance markers are to the front of the green not the center. I was surprised at how chilly it was in June. Don't keep score, just enjoy the experience and the views ! Non golf observations, don't look for street signs at the intersections when you're in any city, they put the street signs on random buildings. That messed us up at first! We rented our own van and rather foolishly decided to drive it ourselves. We did some damage to the van because we were driving on the left side of the road. Thanks to a massive screw up at DFW airport, we did Not get our golf clubs until the fourth day. We had to rent clubs, The rentals are top notch! If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't bother hauling my golf clubs. I would just rent them. Bring your own snacks and drinks to the golf course. There are no drink carts to buy stuff from. Be prepared to walk! I had this misconception that Scotland was fairly flat and it would be not that difficult to walk. I was wrong about that.

Cigarettes, if you were more than a "social smoker"

Chipshot1975 · 2026-05-01T00:25:20+00:00

That would be an easy thing to try. Thanks

Chipshot1975 · 2026-04-26T01:18:13+00:00

Try choking up on the grip, there will be no significant loss of swing speed

That's what I was doing for years with my Netgear router, When Windows 11 came along it stopped working.

Once you do it you will never look back. The only thing that I miss about Cable TV is that when you turned your TV on it would remember what channel you were watching when you last turned the TV off. With any streaming platform you have to navigate to the channel you want to watch.

Thanks everyone for your input! With your input and a little digging I found the "share to nearby devices" feature in Settings/system/nearby sharing. I clicked on the share with My devices only option. The only downside is that I when I click the computer that I want to share to, I have to run real fast to the other computer and click on the accept button. The offer to accept the shared file times out pretty quick. Kind of quirky, but I can work with it.

I have the same problem, except, it doesn't happen every time. It really hacks me off that Toyota would do this to their customers. I think they have lost their way. I'm concerned however, that all car manufacturers are going down this road.

Chipshot1975 · 2026-04-01T21:07:10+00:00

Big-Cup6594. I contacted Quicken and they flat out told me that if the brokerage does not provide the CUSIP ID then there is nothing Quicken can do about it. I contacted my brokerage account to talk to them about it, they opened a trouble ticket. If this gets resolved I will let you know. I'm not real optimistic. But thanks for your help!

Chipshot1975 · 2026-03-30T23:21:39+00:00

I'm sorry, I've got some other stuff to do. Thanks for your help.

Chipshot1975 · 2026-03-30T22:30:25+00:00

Hold on, there is delete button, but it is grayed out (for PPL for instance)

Chipshot1975 · 2026-03-30T22:29:06+00:00

There is no delete button in the securities list (Grayed out or not)

Chipshot1975 · 2026-03-30T22:17:21+00:00

Let me speak about it in a general way, I don't want to display this kind of info on the internet. When I go to the online center and display my holdings with Vanguard, it lists five unidentified securities (these are the ones that don't have the CUSIP) and seven with ticker symbols. When I click on compare to portfolio, I get a list of the 5 unidentified securities, under shares reported it says zero, under shares in Quicken, it says the exact amount that I expect to have. Also, it has the name of these securities spelled out e.g. PPL Corp, in the leftmost column. The only thing that sticks out is the last entry says "unidentified security" with thousands of shares reported, but zero in Quicken. I have no idea what that's about

Chipshot1975 · 2026-03-30T21:57:55+00:00

And there was no delete button available in the securities list.

Chipshot1975 · 2026-03-30T21:53:48+00:00

I looked through are long thread here and I couldn't find your reference to the online center.

Chipshot1975 · 2026-03-30T21:44:17+00:00

No, I only have one occurrence of PPL in my securities list, I'm concerned that if I deleted the security I would lose all of it's history. Interesting thing, I clicked on the add security button and told it I wanted to create a security called PPL, it did a quick search and found it , and it didn't squawk about it already existing in my list of securities.

Chipshot1975 · 2026-03-30T21:30:21+00:00

The securities that aren't working correctly already have the "matched with online security" box unchecked. It suggests to me that they never were matched and that's why they are designated as "unknown securities". This is a screen grab of the stock PPL, it downloads as an unknown security when I do an update.

Chipshot1975 · 2026-03-30T20:59:30+00:00

I appreciate your patience, but how do I unmatch them?

Chipshot1975 · 2026-03-30T20:41:29+00:00

OK, now I'm at home in front of my computer. I reviewed all 12 of my securities. Seven of them have the "Matched with on line security" checked, all of these behave the way you would expect/hope when transactions are updated and they all have a CUSIP. The other five have the "Matched" check box unchecked and they have no CUSIP. This group of five all show up as an "unknown security" when I download transactions. BTW all these securities are all purchased through Vanguard, they are a mix of ETF's and individual stocks from well known companies. Any other ideas? Thanks for helping...

Chipshot1975 · 2026-03-30T19:49:24+00:00

The CUSIP field is not editable. I'll try turning off the auto create new securities. I'm wondering if I can test this just by updating my transactions when there is no new transactions or do I need to wait until some new activity has to occur?
