Bluetooth download from old digital camera

I have a Canon SX50HS that downloads photos to a computer via a USB cable through the camera’s mini USB port. I’d like to use a Bluetooth transmitter of some kind to wirelessly transfer pictures to my phone.

Can I use something like an AirFly transmitter to somehow accomplish this?

I expect those devices can’t handle the bandwidth for images. Any ideas?

New FranklinWH to be installed

Last week I contracted to have a two battery system installed in my home that will recharge from the grid only. We are not allowed to install solar panels on our townhouse. I did an analysis of my usage and determined I can get three days of power in the winter when it’s critical.

I looked at various systems and felt Franklin was best for my needs. Please assure me I chose well.

Pulling/pushing cable through conduit

I am a home owner experienced in typical residential installation and actually had formal training in both residential and commercial wiring. I’ve never pulled cable through conduit. I do not have wire pulling tools.

I have a need to feed (3) 14ga stranded THHN wires through about 15’ of pvc conduit. There are three 90 bends. I’ll be working alone.

Can I push the cables through or is it better to pull? Any suggestions?

I’ll struggle through it and get it done but would appreciate any tips.

Update: there were many good suggestions. It turns out I do have a fish tape. I thought I lost it. Thanks all for your advice. I’ll get this done in a snap.

I want to buy some of this baffle material

I just installed a Return Air Pathway. The baffle it came with has very small openings and seems to cause quite a bit of airflow restriction. I'd like to replace it with something like shown that has larger openings allowing for better flow.

Where can I get this? I've looked at quite a few places and even have written to some with no success.

What is this?

What is this device above the door on our newly installed Kone elevators? The bottom appears to have a red frosted plastic lens. I’m assuming it is a proximity sensor even though the doors have light curtains.

It was installed just yesterday, two weeks after the elevators were opened for use.

I personally never knew there was a difference. I knew Corning developed Pyrex brand cookware but didn’t know there were different types of Pyrex until a recent article I read. I thought I’d share with you.

PYREX (Uppercase/Vintage): Manufactured by Corning, this borosilicate glass is superior for oven-to-table use due to its high resistance to thermal shock. It is typically found in thrift stores or older sets.

pyrex (Lowercase/Modern): Produced by World Kitchen LLC (now Corelle Brands) since the late 1970s, this tempered soda-lime glass is designed for durability against breakage, but it is more susceptible to shattering if moved directly from a hot oven to a cold surface.

Identification: Look at the logo—all capital letters ("PYREX") indicates older, typically more heat-resistant glass, while lowercase ("pyrex") denotes newer tempered glass.

Uses: Both are safe for oven and microwave use, but experts advise avoiding rapid temperature changes (e.g., freezer to oven) with the modern lowercase pyrex to prevent shattering
