I received a hand me down Motorola baby monitor + camera. It doesn't connect to the Internet. It'll beep if the camera is disconnected. The monitor has power save capability (video feed off, sound on), let me know if power is low.

One of the scenes I remember in "Catch me if you can" is that DeCaprio passes a bad check to a hooker (former beauty contestant, too...) and she gives him cash in exchange of the difference. You'd think they woulda learned!

Prior to LG, Samsung was their only supplier of OLED screens. Even with LG onboard, LG is supplying only 20% for the upcoming iPhone 12. My point is, Apple always slaps a fancy marketing name to their screens (Retina...) but in reality the
