Snails - Response on Threads Part 8

[Sgt. Pepper]

Black Friday! Single-handedly, I may be responsible for the 100+ container ships off of the coast of Cali.

It's usually not that big of a deal to me, but I gots lots of stuff to get this year. Number one on the list is a pair of wireless headphones/earbuds for the gym--the pair I have need replacing bad. Several books. And some other stuff.
The first load of wash is in the washer. First double espresso is down the hatch. Cleaning will begin... soon. Need another double before that gets going.

morning, almost all of you people.

This music really rocks if u have a nice pair of speakers hooked up to your computer like the pepper. The neighbors haven't called "yet" this morning.
Luv this one

Dd and Heather are off Black Friday shopping. Not my cup of tea. The three kids are here and quiet so far. SIL is home today.

Good morning snails.

Thinking about breakfast. Have cinnamon rolls, and also left overs that would/will/might make a good omelette.

Turkey here.

turkey bacon (not from leftover turkey) with 2 eggs over easy, whole grain bread and hot sauce.

It's taco night at Pepper's house and everyone (well, almost everyone) is invited.

 

[AttyPops]

Today is "car day" for me/it.

New plugs, and an oil change. Maybe a new air filter, depending on $$$$$.

Not going anywhere near large retail stores on Black Friday.

Atty, I bought these earbuds today that are set up for apple stuff but say they work with android--I don't know apple stuff at all. Anyway, they have a Lightning to USB-A charging cable. Will I be able to charge this with my Dell computer's usb outlet? What the heck is a USB-A. I provided the link to the product. thx, dude.

From that link:

USB-A is on the left (into your computer), lightning is on the right (goes into the ear-phones) .
USB-A is the "older" depreciated standard with the larger plug. Micro-USB is a newer standard. But if you think "normal/standard USB" that's A.

I'm guessing your computer puts out enough amps on the port to charge those buds. But to answer that I need specs on the computer's ports, not just the buds. Generally, I've even powered an e-cig with an old computer's USB port (we used to have USB e-cigs...lol...I think they took USB 2.0 or 3.0 for power). I can't believe these things take that many amps with such a small battery, so you should be OK. Worst case is that you use a 5-V USB wall-wart thing like we often do with e-cig stuff.

You'll need bluetooth of course, and also, if you scroll down on the reviews on these are a bit mixed. Of concern is the 2" charging cable quote (although the pic above implies at least a bit more).
