I guess the 1TB storage on S23U will make up for the absence of the card slot.

Oh, for sure!

Gotta watch the devices with loads of RAM!
I've heard horror stories..., last year, some guy was hard gaming on one, whether it had a metal case or not, I don't know, but it got so hot he couldn't hold it!
Probably alright if you don't game the heck out of it, or tax it too hard!

I don't game on my phones just as I don't game on laptops. That's what my desktops are for.

And my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra has 12gig of RAM and in the 3 years of ownership it's never ever gotten that hot. Honestly that story sounds more internet legend than fact. Zero worries here.

And 512gig may be too much for others, but I'm not others, I'm me

I got a see through mechanical watch (the "Black Coffee" version)

I really wanted a Fossil Townsman but I can't justify the cost, so I got a cheaper one for my birthday

I bought this Air Purifier yesterday from Walmart as @ Amazon it was $15.00 more expensive.
Walmart delivered it today... EXCEPT today Amazon knocked $151.00 off their yesterdays price - I hate it when that happens.

It's not for me to decide what get's posted. Don't put that on me

Anyway, the point being many post many things for different reasons. Someone probably did intentionally spam their phone to see how hot it could get. That just means the phone is being used beyond its normal intended use.

Yes, phones get hot when used, mine does, but not so hot as not hold!!! I think that's near explosion time

Bought a new smoke and carbon monoxide detector (make/model = Kidde 10SCO). The old one was quite a few years old. It gave a fire alarm at 4.00 a.m. when there was no fire. I cleaned it with an air duster and replaced the battery (it was a volt down). It was OK until the afternoon when it sounded an alarm again. No sign of fire.

The old one had been OK for such a long time that I bought the same make/model again. Seems fine.

I've had a few smoke detectors that I had to replace because they started doing the same thing. I guess it's their way of telling us that it's time for them to be replaced.

My latest online purchase was a Samsung 2TB USB T7 drive. I already have A 1TB T7 drive. I ordered it this morning and it arrived around 4:00. https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-Port...sprefix=external+ssd+drive,aps,88&sr=8-3&th=1

I have the Kidde Model KN-COSM-B-RF Smoke/CO detector alarm
In the user guide it says to replace the batteries with Alkaline Energizer E91
I’ve been using the Energizer Max batteries.
It came w/ a Ten-Year Limited Warranty as does yours so I still have a few years left.

No, The Smoke/CO detector has a few more years left. I hope you have many more years left.

A label on the detector said it should be replaced every 10 years. I don't think I'd had it that long but long enough not to feel hard done by.

10 years is about right.
A fire dept rep recently paid us a visit to replace our smoke detector for free after 11 years.

The worst part is that I put the battery back in the old one this morning and it's been OK so far. Don't know if I could trust it throughout the night though.

If in doubt, throw it out.

You're right. I have got a lot of unused stuff I paid good money for that I should throw out but can't bring myself to do it.
