      So last year at that store I use to frequented and got all the great deals "it's $5", I found a new iPhone 8 Plus Screen. I really haven't had much use for it. Recently I've been contemplating getting an iPhone SE 2. But i'm not sure I would like using in iPhone.
       
      I thought first I would try to find a broken iPhone 8 plus with a broken screen so I can fix it and use it as my daily driver. So on Facebook swap, I made a post looking for a Broken iPhone 8 Plus for $100, i'll wait and see if I get a sucker.
       
      What I did find is someone with an iPhone 6s, for $20. I know the woman who has it. She wasn't sure where she put it. Finally when she remembered she said "It's in my car". i'm thinking, just great, it's probably been discharged for a long time and ridding around in a hot car.
       
      Got it home and wouldn't even show the battery icon that a charger had been plugged in. So I have a new battery ordered for $22. Not sure how much memory her phone had, wouldn't it be cool if it had 128GB. So i'll be using it as my daily driver to see if I enjoy iOS.  
       
      Plus, iPhone 6s will still be getting iOS 14.
       
      Better to spend $43 and find you dislike and iPhone than to spend $460.

      Went to a customer's house today, to transfer files off 2 computers to a new computer. Turns out, they were a core 2 duo Macbook and a 2011 i7 17 inch MacBook pro. After i'm done he says "what should I do with them? Can I just throw them away?" 😮 .... in which I offered to take them off his hands and removed the hard drives for him.
       

      Removed the hard drive out of the 17 inch and replaced it with a 250 GB SSD.
       
      Core i7 (17-inch, Late 2011)
      8GB of Memory
      240GB SSD
       
       
      At this moment i'm trying the MacOS Catalina Patcher.
