Morning Prayer
Dear Lord,
So far I've done all right.
I haven't gossiped,
haven't lost my temper,
haven't been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or overindulgent.
I'm really glad about that.
But in a few minutes, God,
I'm going to get out of bed.
And from then on,
I'm going to need a lot more help

Did you intend to actually post a URL?

No, I didnt want to prejudice a particular supplier, so I gave the generic name of the product, Windows Easy Transfer cables.

Its very crude isnt it, yet we have always talked of male and female engineering parts in the UK anyway. I used to be in mechanical engineering for example, and it's the default term for a connector that protrudes.

has anyone got a simple printable guide to stick next to a tv for connecting to the wireless display?
I find it out that google search finds nothing useful on this. Simple 1 page guide for most devices of open X and click thingy, that can be left next to the tv. Not some multi web-page digital only - print unfriendly webpage.
i waste the time searching for something that looks nice then what might be the same amount of time that i could have just written one up.
i think the Microsoft Wireless Display adaptor should have come with such a nice printout, but no, its a booklet with far to much junk in it. Same for the TV.
rant over. move on to next task.

Why in the world would these manufacturers print such large manuals. A total waste of money! Who ever wants to read the damn instructions? Why do they go through the expense?
It should all be read-to-go, like a chocolate bar coming out of its wrapper - (do you need instructions for that, too?).

if Android - 1. go to settings 2.display connections 3. Screen Mirror

only comparison i have is like at a hotel - were wifi/phone/tv instruction on simple short guide pedestal.

Can you at least name the devices, on both ends, you're trying to hook up? Are you sure the TV supports it?

Welcome to hell on Earth in Australia - Higgins Storm Chasing[^]
Max temps have not gone below 32C for the last 2 weeks here on the coast - and they're getting worse before they get better.
Hard to keep good humour in these conditions, but the following link provides a whimsical yet disturbingly accurate log of these types of conditions:

Stop crying already and get yourself a swimming pool. If you look at the temperature at a place where I used to live[^] (of course six months back), you will find that it's just as comfortably warm. Hopping into the swimming pool when coming home was the best thing you could do.

Yeah but it gets to 38c and thats a little extreme when it lasts for days on end. And in the centre they are getting 42c+ but that is a dry heat so you get roasted instead of broiled.
