A wonderful phone, avoid those that came from Verizon.. If you are a developer.
The Google Pixel XL is a marvelous cell phone, but little it isn't. It is a nice lightweight mini tablet with a hugh almost 3.5A-H battery.
The Pixel uses an AMOLED type screen, and as such continuously displayed bright images will wear down the individual LED's, causing a retro image to remain as an inverse when a white screen is displayed. It is similar to the retro images your eye sees after looking at a very bright image for a while. It is only a problem on white screens.
There are essentially two variations that exist for US use: Those that came from the Google Play store, or its equivalent, and those that came from Verizon... at a discount. The model numbers, and physicality of either is absolutely identical. As far as I can tell, the only real difference is in a database that Google hosts of Verizon models. When the user opens up the Developer options, and selects the Unlock Boot Loader option on a google playstore phone, the phone will get onto the internet by way of WIFI, and it will check the database at Google, and if the IMEI is on it, as a Google playstore phone, it will allow the boot loader to be unlocked. If this is attempted with a Verizon phone, the option to unlock the boot loader will be grayed out.
Be warned, once a verizon phone, always a verizon phone. The phone will be automatically unlocked for GSM carriers after the contract is finished profitably, but it will never be unlocked into being a Google playstore phone. It will never have its bootloader freed of the verizon apron strings.
There is a way of hacking the phone (for now), but it would be better if all Pixel owners would mount a campaign with Verizon to have the curse lifted.
Otherwise it is a fantastic phone... but the Verizon model should be 1/2 the price of the playstore model because of the inconvenience it represents.
I run LineagOS on mine, after hacking the phone to unlock the boot loader, but I am forever reminded of what I have done whenever I start the phone, or try to use a secured application like Google Pay, and find it is forbidden.
The Google PixelXL is a wonderful phone, but you might want to avoid the phone if it was provided from Verizon.
Be warned, those

Vostok Amphibian #334 Black Dial Russian Divers Watch...
I have liked this watch for a while... I am now on my third.
The first watch was flawless for almost 10 years and then it started showing signs of needing cleaning... Uhmm, that's not quite true. I did have to tighten the screw on the self winding weight's axle. The problem is, cleaning costs twice what these watches do new. So, I bought another.
The second watch did not do well at all. It began stopping at unpredictable times before it was even 6 months old... but what can you do? It costs more to send it back for warranty repair than it costs to buy a new watch, so here comes the third.
The third watch is working for now. It gains 5 minutes a week, but I am sure that when I adjust for my "personal error", it will settle down.
I have used this watch for diving on a number of occasions, and it performs well. No leaks even when bumped. I haven't tried it more than 30 feet down, yet. The luminous dial will glow all night long. The crystal is easily scratched, which is a problem in a big watch like this, as it sticks out past the case. It seems that everything will scratch it deeply. The stainless steel case is good, showing no signs of corrosion even after ocean diving. The timer dial will get gummed up after a while, but all you need to do to fix it is to run it under warm water while you spin the dial around a few times... It's a dive watch, you can do that cleaning in the shower if you want.
My favorite part about this watch is its nice big dial. I can read it without needing reading glasses. However, I can barely read the date even with reading glasses.
My least favorite part about this watch is its reliability, and next to least the watch band. Throw the band away and get something in a Spidel Twist-O-Flex. The band that comes with the watch is heavy, poorly finished, and will scratch you.
As to the reliability, it is fundamentally a good watch. I think that some that appear on eBay are new, but were made a very long time ago... like my second watch... It behaves as if the lubrication is old. A good watchmaker could tune it up, and I think it would be trouble free from then on. But then it wouldn't be a cheap watch...
Shipping from Russia is variable. I have gotten some things in as little as two weeks. One watch took 2 months.

A bit more work at the start than usual. If you are up for it, fine, otherwise, move on.
This switch is a special NAS version that Netgear sold only to special customers... like NSA. It has special firmware in it: V5.4.0.3, which cannot be managed using the normal netgear methods. It will not be seen by the DHCP function in your router, and wont be issued an IP address.
To use this switchyou should find a windows computer, set its IP address to fixed, 192.168.0.210, and install a copy of Netgear's ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility. You also need to find a copy of the latest firmware for the switch.. I used V1.6 from Netgear's website.
You need for the windows computer to have its WIFI turned off, and nothing connected to its ethernet cable.
Apply power to the GS105E switch, with no network cables installed, and then connect ONE cable between any port on the switch and the windows computer. Start up ProSAFE, and it should find the switch.
Follow the instructions for installing new firmware, and install the V1.6 factory firmware, and your switch will be just like new.
If the above instructions seem like a fun wheeze to you, buy this switch. Otherwise I suggest you get the non NAS/OEM version.
