Regarding windows 11, I was looking at purchasing a year old 2 in 1 windows 11 laptop / tablet. Now that they're stopping support for Windows 11. do you suggest I still purchase it, since I'm used to the windows environment ? Will it be able to accept the next version of Windows or will Microsoft force you to buy a newer device?
@TechforSenior
@TechforSenior 4 дня назад
It is Windows 10 that is losing it's support in October 2025. I suspect the machine you want to buy would be up-gradable to Windows 11.

Probably but that would depend on the Bank/Credit card company. Google Wallet has nothing to do with that and the way you use your cards now should be the same in Google Wallet

I really appreciate your efforts! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
@TechforSenior
@TechforSenior 17 дней назад
Hey there! To send your USDT to Binance from your SafePal wallet, you'll need to: Open SafePal and access your wallet using your seed phrase (keep it super secret!). Find your USDT balance. Start a withdrawal in SafePal. Get your Binance USDT deposit address from your Binance account. Carefully paste that Binance address into SafePal. Double-check that address!!! Enter the amount of USDT you want to send. Confirm everything looks good. Wait for the transaction to go through - you can usually track it in SafePal or on a blockchain explorer.

Google Play gift card can primarily be used to make purchases within the Google Play Store. This includes: Apps & Games: Buy new apps, games, or in-app purchases like extra lives or levels. Movies & TV: Rent or buy movies and TV shows to watch on your devices. Books: Purchase ebooks or audiobooks to read or listen to. Music: Subscribe to a music streaming service or buy individual songs or albums

Do you still need to calibrate smart watch with standard blood pressure monitor when PPG method is being used? The instructions that come with my watch seem to give no information in regard to this. Your video suggests to me that, because the PPG method measures actual blood pressure, the calibration is not required. Joel (Nelson, NZ)

The only FDA approved Smartwatch that measures you Blood Pressure is the Galaxy watch from Samsung. That needs to be calibrated monthly.

@TechforSenior

Yes you are absolutely correct. The reason Google Drive works better is the flexibility of folders. You can have a main folder called House then sub folders called Maintenance, Yard, Hydro etc. The folders are searchable. Google Photos is like putting all your receipts in a shoe box where as Google Drive is like a filing cabinet.
