‘Samsung Watch 3’ Finally Available On Amazon — 48-Hours After It Was On ‘Best Buy’.
It was amusing & very obvious. ‘Samsung‘ gave ‘Best Buy‘ precedence — & no doubt ‘Best Buy’ would have had to pay for it dearly. But, they only appear to have got a 2-day head-start.
Amazon has just started listing it — offering more or less immediate shipping.
That is good. I refuse to buy items such as this from ‘Best Buy‘.

We Have Had 4 Refrigerators In 2.2-Years: GE, Samsung, Whirlpool & Now LG!
The LATEST. Delivered July 3, 2019.
The ice makers on two of them, the Samsung & the Whirlpool, packed up — on the Samsung within 4-months & on the Whirlpool after 18-months. Folks, including those at Best Buy, keep on saying that ice makers are the bane of modern refrigerators. But, ‘we’ (and by that I do include myself) are so dependent on ice makers and ice water from the fridge.
It all started in April 2017. The GE that came with this house (both of which were new when we bought the house in 2007) packed up exactly one-month after its 10th anniversary! Talk about planned obsolescence.
We then got the Samsung. Ice maker packed up after 4-months. So, we were still under warranty. But, it took four (4) torturous months before we could get bloody Samsung to get around to addressing the problem. They told Best Buy (where we bought it from) to take it back and give us our money back. We then bought the Whirlpool — at Best Buy’s recommendation. They also ‘suggested’ we get the ‘Geek Squad‘ warranty.
Then, the ice maker on the Whirlpool stopped working. Geek Squad was here pretty quickly but they messed around for 2-months replacing parts. Then they said we could get a NEW one BUT we had to pay the new price. Plus, the ‘Geek Squad’ warranty ends and you have to buy another one! What a ‘deal’. Cost us $270 to get the new LG.
So, that is where we are. This is crazy. 4 refrigerators in 24 months.

The Picture Of The Day (Google Pixel 2) + 6 Also-Rans — July 3, 2019.
Why Are Refrigerator Ice Makers So Prone To Failure?
Just 18-months after getting over the last ice maker fiasco — which, alas, lasted four dreadful months because Samsung is so ornery and incompetent — we are again in the same boat. No ice. Ice maker not working — or not working properly. This time around we can’t stop it! It produces ice non-stop, with ice spilling out and forcing the door open.
Brand new $1,590 Whirlpool — which was said to be super-reliable.
Luckily, after the horrendous experience with Samsung I was not taking chances. Though folks routinely bad-mouth extended store warranties I was not taking any chances. I coughed up $200 for a 5-year “Geek Squad” warranty. Well, they are supposed to be coming tomorrow. We will see how good they are.
But, for now no ice. That doesn’t bother me. Other than when I needed ice for my ice-machine after my knee-surgery I use very little ice, even in the Summer. Not so the kids. They need ice all the time. So, they are not happy.

Please Castrate Me IF I Ever Buy Anything From Best Buy Again. PLEASE.

I Did Not Heed My Own Admonition
& Now I Am $500+ In The Hole.
I am such an IDIOT! So, yes, I deserve to get ripped off and abused and lose $559. My fault. I did NOT follow my own admonition.
There was good mitigating reason. This was a Sony lens and Amazon had a 2-month BACK-ORDER on it. Yes, two-months.
So, I was forced to buy it from Bloody Best Buy. Oh, how I wish I hadn’t.
Well, I got ripped off. Yes, I played right into their hands. Yes, I am an IDIOT.
That is why I deserve to be castrated — though it kind of too late. I should have been castrated when I was 11.
Well, I live, BUT I obviously do NOT learn.
So, PLEASE … please … if you hear that I bought anything from Best Buy just come over and castrate me. I will not protest. I deserve to be castrated.
Yes, I promise NEVER to step into a Best Buy again.
You know the IRONY. I worked as an Epson Product Ambassador at Best Buy and loved it!

Garmin Forerunner 645M (But Not 645) Now Available At Amazon & ‘Heart Rate Monitors USA’.
At Amazon

At Garmin
At Best Buy
Kind of strange and doesn’t make much sense.
Garmin says that it won’t have the Forerunner 645M (the ‘M’ denoting ‘music‘) for 3-5 weeks, WHILE Amazon and “Heart Rate Monitors USA” are claiming that they already have it stock and are ready to ship.
On the other hand, the Forerunner 645, which was supposed to be available before the 645M, is NOT in stock. Very strange.
Best Buy, which had the Vivoactive 3 ahead of anybody else, including Garmin, doesn’t have either model. Very strange.
I will, of course, keep you posted. I will be checking on a regular basis.

I Pre-Ordered A Garmin Vivoactive 3, In Slate, From Amazon …
I have nothing to lose. Amazon will NOT bill me until they ship.
IF it becomes available at Garmin or Best Buy, I will cancel the Amazon order (which I can do easily right up until they ship) and get it from …
I even paid the $3.99 for 1-day delivery! So, let’s see.
I am NOT amused.

Pictures Of Best Buy “Geek Squad” Delivering Large Refrigerator/Freezers Using Just Shoulder Harnesses.
Click to ENLARGE.
Attribution WILL be enforced.
I had never seen this been done, or even heard about it, until we had our accursed Samsung 25.4 cu. ft. fridge/freezer delivered in April 2017. Click here for those pictures.
I was in awe. That Samsung was 289 pounds (131 kilos). Two people — with no real training. I am surprised it meets U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Act standards. But, it is Best Buy and you would assume that know what they are doing.
Pretty damn impressive.
Well, got to see it again today, when we had the damn Samsung replaced with a (much more expensive) Whirlpool.
Not easy to get good pictures BECAUSE you do NOT want to get in their way or impede them in any way.
