Checklist: Tech

It’s not really the tech I’m trying to manage but the cords and dongles that go with the tech. As I am prone to do I’m making a checklist for myself of the bits and pieces of tech that I intended to bring with. Most of this can be purchased in Barcelona if I forget. As usual the items marked -[x] are in daily use and go in at the last minute.

Devices:

  • Laptop (Bruce/Dawn) -[x]

  • iPhone (Bruce/Dawn) -[x]

  • unlocked phones (Bruce/Dawn) -[x]

  • flash drives x2

  • backup battery for phone x1

  • electric razor

  • bluetooth noise cancelling headphones (Bruce/Dawn)

Cords/Chargers:

  • cord for laptop x2 (Bruce/Dawn) -[x]

  • charging bricks (high power and low)

  • cord for iPhone x2 (Bruce/Dawn) -[x]

  • cord for unlocked phones x1 (Bruce/Dawn) -[x]

  • cord for razor

  • cord for headphones x2

Adapters:

Phones are reasonably robust electronically for a variety of reasons. Laptops are less so. Guidance from various entities suggests that having a voltage converter with surge protection built in is a prudent choice. In addition

  • surge protector/converter for computers

  • USB to USB-C adapters

  • plastic pic for cleaning lint from ports
