Help somebody with porn

I'm trying to help somebody get porn on his phone. When he goes to the website it does some age verification bs. He gives it his email address and it sends a code, but when the code is typed in it goes all wrong. For example, if it's 123456 it puts 651234 or something that way. I'm trying to figure out how to fix it. Is there maybe a safe search thing that could be shut off or lessened?

Avoid Cricket at all co$t$

A while back I made what's called a bridge payment to Cricket. It's a partial payment that keeps service on until the rest can be paid. I gave them the rest of the amount plus $8 a day early. Then I got a message that if I didn't get them almost another $25 they would shut it off at midnight. I went over and showed them the messages thanking me for the money. They tried to tell me that I had already made 3 bridge payments (no, 1) and that 3 was the limit. The person I had paid even denied that I had paid her. I finally ended up shelling out the extra, but I have just about had it with these idiots. I may file a lawsuit. How they think they can get away with this crap is beyond me.

Help Samsung A54 forced Gemini and it won't quit. Power off button change.

The single 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?

Help Best app for a MacBookPro to backup an Android (Samsung) ?

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.

Data pods

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.

9/11/2001

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?

I bought an iPhone.

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.

Windows password retriever.

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.

Labor Day Weekend 26

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?

Ddos guard loop

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.

August 27th 2026 Lunar Eclipse

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.

Trouble with goo play

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.
