I'm thinking I'm gonna get a few extras of these at least. Are there any others you'd recommend having on hand?

I haven't had the chance to try it out way out in the bush yet, but when I've been out of the city and received the text informing me that the satellite connection has been "activated" I only ever see one bar. I've managed to send/receive a couple of texts, but it feels unreliable and spotty. Has anyone had a good experience and a strong connection? Right now I'm questioning the value of this service, considering that I also have a Garmin InReach and my iPhone also has an emergency satellite connection.
For anyone not wanting to waste time looking around, I can confirm that this knockoff of the SRC Moto one works perfectly and cost a third of the price shipped to Canada. No modifications of any kind were necessary, though the light it comes with does not have connectors. If you'd want to use it you'd have to splice the old light's connectors to it. I just didn't bother with the light because I almost never ride at night.
Oh yeah, I also replaced my broken levers with these folding ones, which were also an easy plug-n-play replacement. I wish they were shorter than they are, but they're still better than the OEM ones. If someone can confirm 1 or 2 finger levers for these bikes, I'd appreciate a link!
Next up…full K-Tech suspension?
I took my lock to Broadway Locksmith and they told me I should buy a new lock, which I was very surprised by. The guy barely made an attempt. The lock isn't damaged or broken, but the design of the mechanism allows for the discs inside to get out of alignment if you twist the key as you pull it out, making it impossible to reinsert the key.
Given the technological explosion that is happening right now, I'm surprised there is so little discussion going on around a commodity that is the base resource for anything to do with electricity.
I'm not new to investing, but I am new to looking at individual stocks and commodities. So far, I've mostly been playing it relatively safe with ETFs like VEQT and TEC. Digging through Canadian copper stocks landed me on FDY.TO which has had some insane returns. This copper producers ETF (COPP.TO) has had fantastic results too! I wish I would've started down this road a little sooner…
Those of you who are investing in copper, how are you doing it?
Also, if you don't mind, how fast of a connection do you think you need, and why?
I ask because I feel totally out of touch with the status quo when it comes to this. I used to work in tech, and even then I was perfectly happy tethering from my phone and staying within whatever my cap was at the time…I think maybe 50 GB? I now have a 200 GB 5G+ mobile plan that is many times faster than my home internet…and you know what, 99.9% of the time, it makes no difference to me.
