I'm the Regional Engineering Manager for almost 50 radio stations in the Midwest. With the Covid-19 virus on the loose we needed to have our DJs work from home but sound live and local.
These Samson Meteor USB mics were PERFECT! They sound like our $350 mics in the studios, and it's what we bought everyone to use. Problem solved.

So after a few years of use from my APC UPS the battery failed. It was a struggle getting the old battery out but simple to order this APC replacement battery and slide it right into the UPS.
Finding your replacement battery cartridge number is as easy as going to the APC website and searching for your model number of UPS.
Then come back to Bestbuy and search for the battery cartridge number....#123 in this case.

We already have a whole-house water filter. is the Samsung water filter required, or is there a way to bypass the filter in this unit?

Most Samsung water and ice dispensers will work without an AquaPure water filter installed. The water filter housings are designed as rotary valves that allow the water to bypass the water filter whenever there is no filter or the filter is not in the locked position.

The Freezer sign 0 is flicking and stuff in the freezer is thawing

A blinking temperature display is trying to get your attention, typically because the temperature is too high and things need to cool down. It could also be because a door has been left open. Any other blinking lights may require a power cycle to correct the issue.

Capture footage from a variety of perspectives using this Joby Action Series JB01329 suction cup and GorillaPod Arm, which let you mount and reposition your compatible action video camera. A quick-twist lock helps ensure secure attachment.
 

will it work on a boat

It's your basic suction cup. Works very well on a flat surface. I wanted it to stick to a drywalled wall with eggshell finish...no good. But, it stuck great in the upper corner of the TV, so that's where it lives, holding our camera for teleconferencing.
