The sigle lower right button was nice. You press and can shut down, restart, etc. Starting yesterday some secret clandestine "upgrade" changed the phone so that one button brings up Gemini. I don't want it. The directions to disable Gemini is to force stop it. So in Settings ---> Apps, Gemini shows 0 k, and pressing force stop does not stop it. There is no uninstall option.

Now to turn off the phone one must artfully press the lower two side buttons simultaneously.

How may I revert this A54 to the easier old way of one button turn off and how to stop Gemini?

One would think that this is simple, but it is not. I've tried five apps and they have issues:

1. Won't connect to phone
2. Won't back up calendar
3. Might backup only "My Calendar"
4. MobileTrans demands installing "Connector" and the phone warns not to do it.

I read about exporting as an ICS file, but I prefer to have an integrated complete backup. It's unclear if Samsung's Smart Switch (which connects like a charm) will back up any of the Calendar.

Kindly help.

Besides inventing the world wide web, Tim Berners-Lee has come up with another great idea. Suppose if you visited a website and decided you didn't like its policies. You could just pack up your data and leave. They wouldn't have any of that. As greedy as they are, they would finally have an incenrive not to make people angry. I can't be the only one on here who knows anything about this.

It has been 25 years since this tragedy and my heart still aches. It aches for the loss of life and it aches for the loss of innocence.

I was on my way to work when I heard that one of the towers had been hit by a plane. By the time I arrived at my job site, I was getting that sick feeling deep in my gut that we were under attack. The construction workers near the house I was working on all gathered in the yard and we listened to the radio in disbelief as our world was forever changed. We all gathered up our tools and went home only to find that this was only the beginning.

Where were you when this travesty unfurled?

After 16 years of using Android phones. I bought a new iPhone 17. My Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra is starting to show signs of old age, the back fell off, the middle camera seems to have developed myopia, and the battery no longer holds as much charge as it used to. But it is the longest lasting phone I've ever had. Main reason for buying an iPhone, is that recent versions of Chinese Android can no longer install and use Google Play Services(Donald Trump to blame?), which is a show stopper for me.

Once more, it's not working. Usually I can fix it with a paint key but that hasn't worked. I guess the blades turn ok and there's evidently no foreign matter. I also reset the circuit breakers. I wish I had an Allen wrench or hex key.

1) I have it saved, but I have to put it in my offline notebook because I am like that.
2) my password notebook went away somehow with the entire folder, and checked everywhere even underneath another user
and it is not there, I have now about ninety percent back with the emails and other things.
3) is there a simple way how to see my windows password without downloading any third party app or program?

thank you.

I have windows ten and it logs me automatic, but it went to the lock screen and really shut down my pc like a spell ago, and I did not type up any windows comand.

My wife and are going to undergo this treatment; anyone familiar with it? It is certainly not inexpensive...

I have the weekend off but will mow my lawns like normal Monday. Tomorrow, the wife is cooking a roast in the crock pot for something different. Some potatoes and carrots as well. Though I'd like to be smoking something this weekend, a good pot roast sounds good. We aren't planning on going anywhere or doing anything special. I use to spend the entire holiday fishing. The creeks were always low this time of year and the flatheads were hungry for a black perch. I miss those days but it was a lot of work for a holiday.

Do you have anything planned for the holiday? Something that was almost a ritual over the holiday? Anything special planned for meals? The holiday is the last summer big weekend... what's the itinerary?

My friend has an account on an old phone and is trying to get it on another one. He changed phone numbers about a month ago and had to update it. Now he has a Telegram account on the new one, but without his old material. How can I help him get that back on tbe new phone? They did send a code but apparently it doesn't work.

I installed the Fossify version because I obviously don't want goo. However, it seems to behave more the way gboard would. When I check it claims Fossify. How do I make sure?

I have been trying to use a site on Tor for a couple days but I can't get past that. I keep checking bananas, dragging cartoon animals, topping towers etc., but it still keeps bugging me. I do have no root firewall, which I have shut off and still no dice. The only extension is NoScript, whatever that is. I have consulted other sites. The information they provide is not helpful and/or too technical, e. g. GitHub.

A near total lunar eclipse will be visible across the entirety of the continental USA tonight. A google search will give you and idea when max viewing will be in your location.
from the net:
You’ll want to look up Thursday night to catch a glimpse of the blood moon lunar eclipse, which will be visible (at least in part) across all of North America.

At maximum, the full moon will be 96% covered by Earth’s shadow, turning it a spooky shade of red. While it’s just a few percentage points behind a total lunar eclipse, the view will still be pretty impressive. The best time to see it depends on where you live.

I'm looking for a reliable cellphone to PC backup software. I've looked at a few but the reviews have not been great. This may have been asked already elsewhere, though I didn't find it on my search, but can someone suggest a good backup software which they've used. I do not want google/cloud backups. I want to have the backups secure on my computer.

Hello,

Please could you delete my account.

Thank you.

This thing is messing up, but I thought you might like to know that yesterday those fools accepted the payment at last. I don't know why they couldn't have done that in the first place. At least he should be in a better mood.

Hey, Is it possible to make different ringer presets on the Stylus 2024? Like save values for ring/vibrate/silent and the volume levels.

Thanks!

My friend was trying to pay for his monthly photos storage. There was a problem with his card and he decided to go with one of the gift cards. He got it and typed in the code on the back, which was accepted. Somehow, though, the amount was not applied. It just says that he has it in his goo account. Now he's going nuts trying to get these evil idiots to apply the amount. They wanted to verify who it was (duh who). He recently changed phone numbers and they insist on sending the secret code to the old one. There apparently is not an option to change the number, which is ridiculous, especially because even they seem to know that this "recovery" is old and that there is a new phone number.

Anyone else watched this, or stream it on Adult swim's site?


I acutally love the entire back stories myself.

Honor have released a security patch for their latest and greatest, fold phone the Magic V6 Global model.

This appears to be an interim update whilst the phone is currently undergoing beta testing of their MagicOS 11, (Android 17), firmware.

I reluctantly upgraded my 2 year old vivo X Fold3 Pro about a month ago as the Honor Magic V6, (Global), offers a bigger battery, (6660 mAh), battery with fast charging, (80W/66W wireless), and stylus support on both inner and outer screens with the latest Qualcomm SM8850-AC Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (3 nm) chip all at £1,499, (inc 20% tax), which is around £500 cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra in the U.K.

So far I am finding this a worthy successor to the vivo X Fold3 Pro which was outstanding enough for me to hold on to for 2 years as it was so far advanced.

I'm not sure how long this link will be public, but there are some great books on it. I used to be a big reader, but that has tapered off dramatically since I got married. (Coincidence?)

Anyway, here's the link to the article; I've read but 3, but seen movies made of a few others. How about you??


NOTE to ADMIN: when the link is no longer public, it probably makes sense to delete this thread.

I have just installed a new security camera.
At night I have my mobile on 'Do not disturb' but I want to be alerted by my security camera.
I long pressed the security camera app which shows some options.
If I click on notifications>notification categories>other
Under 'Alarms' and 'Miscellaneous' I set all to 'Override Do Not Disturb'.
I still don't get an alarm from the security camera.
What other settings are there to get this to work?

Occasionally there is a lot of liquid on the kitchen floor. I was trying to blame it on melting ice cubes, but I'm not that sure. It happened again this morning. Also the gasket on the main compartment is beyond loose. Besides getting a new fridge, what can I do?
