I still use this adapter. It functions as it should and I do recommend it, if you need to show your phone or tablet screen on a larger display. Note that this is a micro USB end, not a USB C, as most more modern devices use now.

I ended up replacing this enclosure with one that was more compatible with using a 2.5 SSD drive with an enclosure. This kept disconnecting from my computer when being used in that way. It would probably work fine for a regular 2.5 HDD though, so if a friend needed an enclosure for that, I may recommend.

I dropped my Note 9 and it landed right on the pen, which popped the pen out and broke it. I looked online at Amazon, but too many reviewers were saying the ones there were knock offs, so I simply walked into a Best Buy and bought my replacement pen off the shalf. I'm pleased with it, as it is exactly the same as the original. It's an authentic Samsung pen meant for this device.

I have s22ultra1tb I want trade in for s23ltra 1tb how much is it please let me know thanks

I didn't trade in my previous phone, but there is an option for trade-in when you are selecting the version of S23 Ultra you want. If you select it, it lets you find your current phone and gives you the trade-in value if you choose to trade it in.
Best Buy, Samsung's site, and pretty much any site you can buy the S23 on, gives you that option.

NETGEAR - Orbi Outdoor AC3000 Tri-band Wi-Fi Range Extender - White
This Orbi outdoor Wi-Fi mesh extender or add-on satellite extends your Wi-Fi outdoors. Works with your existing Wi-Fi router. The weather-resistant design is built to withstand rain, sun, snow, dust, or sprinklers. Work in the garage or garden, and keep your devices connected with a strong Wi-Fi signal.
 

Is the Orbi outdoor extender compatible with the new Spectrum Wave2 router? Have an adjacent garage/office at home. I would like to boost the wifi inside. We have 300mbps service in the house about 40' away. Should I mount inside, or outside of garage?

I think it is only compatible with the Orbi AC3000 router. I know it does not work with the newer Orbi 6 mesh router.
I installed mine outside in my pergola, about 30 feet from an indoor AC3000 mesh satellite, which is in my back room about 30ish feet, and separated by a wall, from my AC3000 router. I daisy chained them. I get fantastic connectivity all around my large back yard now.

Don't use it for anything until you can run a data retrieval program and try to get back everything.
Unless you are experienced with doing that, I'd take it to a computer place to get back your data. As long as you don't write over it or use the drive in any way, you'll probably be able to get your data back.
