Asked 2 years ago by MOONRAY.

• A:Answer It requires a sim card just like a mobile phone and it includes a battery so it is fully mobile. You can also purchase extra batteries and swap them out or you can use a USB C battery pack to keep it powered for an extended period. You obtain a sim card from a wireless carrier like AT&T, T-mobile, Verizon, US Cellular or any number of MVNOs and then you purchase a data plan. The carriers will limit your data. T-Mobile allows the most amount of data as of 08-2023.

Q: QuestionHi! Can this device be secured to furniture like you do with PCs? Thanks!

Asked 2 years ago by Bren.

• A:Answer Im inviting yi to be artistical. Think of its shape, and the platform on which desired to however attached/secured, & however many materials yi might want such to look like. Drawing might help, otherwise I don't draw everything fore applying each. Coloring/painting could occur during/aft. If yi have a heater that isn't floor venting (never use your food oven!!!! Please place foil, carsboard, wax paper, &/or any combination to assist & lessen unecssary transfers), using it temporary for projects won't hurt too much (please be sagacious with electricity....), it can help with drying & keeping the paint (depending on the type) adhesion. E6000 and similies might noth be the best choice, though any of the primeape brand products might be many good choices. God[s] bless/speed!! (ILY sign language emoticon)
