clear data messages not coming back

SMS messages are only stored on your phone, so without a backup they will be gone forever if you clear all data.

So what are you using for backups? There are stand-alone SMS backup utilities which work just fine, but I suspect that none of these will back up RCS messages, so if you use those you might have to rely on Google for backups. (I don't know how Google store RCS messages on the phone, but they have been very reluctant to allow anyone other than themselves and Samsung to use the RCS APIs, which is why I'm guessing that most utilities won't be able to back those up. RCS has been one of the least open Android features ever, and to be honest it feels like Google are trying to force people to use their Messages app for some reason).
i do have a backup via Google one

Tell me a joke...

An old, blind Marine wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake.

He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a shot of Jack Daniels.

After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, “Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?”

The bar immediately falls absolutely silent.

In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says,“Before you tell that joke I think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things…1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.2. The bouncer is a blonde girl.3. I'm a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate.4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weight lifter.5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.

Now, think about it seriously, do you still wanna tell that blonde joke?”

The blind Marine thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters, “No...not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times.”

Heart Trauma Recovery

I miss a day now and then for taking my BP. For the most part, I take it after taking my pills of an evening. I try to do that between nine and nine thirty. I sometimes forget that until I'm ready for bed. My meds keep my BP in the decent range most of the time. Once in a great while it will be elevated. Monitoring my BP was the sole reason I bought my Galaxy Watch 3.

The lie continues... from the net: Released on August 5, 2020, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 is a stylish, feature-rich smartwatch available in 41mm and 45mm sizes (Bronze, Black, Silver) featuring a physical rotating bezel, ECG, blood pressure monitoring, and fall detection.

It was never approved in the US but was in almost all other countries. To enable the BP function, the watch owner had to participate with a study in California. I was pissed! I had a perfectly fine Samsung watch already. I log my BP as I said but I don't send the info to my Dr. I keep the log on my phone and show it to them when they suggest I need a stronger med. It's always elevated when taken by the Dr. but the log cools their jets.

E-Bikes

The weight was my buddies problem as well. He still has his bike. Says he can't bring himself to sell it. He doesn't ride it. He still loves it. I get it. The bicycle has proven to be a good substitute and he rides for his health as well.

I didn't ride today. The wife and I did some shopping and then I just hung out at the house. It managed to get into the low sixties but it was overcast and quite windy. It just wasn't a good day to ride. It is supposed to be warmer tomorrow with partly cloudy skies. The wind is supposed to stay in the teens. I hope to ride.

THOUGHTS ON MICROSOFT ENDING SUPPORT FOR WINDOWS 10

Use Rufus or UNetBootin to extract the ISO to a USB drive, creating a bootable Linux image. You can then test drive the Linux distro, running it from the flash drive before installing in on the computer.

I tried Linux Mint and, while it was functional, I also found it clunky with limited customization options... or it just didn't like the hardware. I used Kubuntu on my desktop for nearly a year before getting disgusted with it and replacing it with Zorin OS Pro: which is more stable, has a lot of built-in software, and is very friendly for new Windows refugees. That's the beauty of Linux, though: freedom of choice! It's not just one OS that has to be used by everyone, regardless of how well it works for them... plus, it doesn't mine your data (unless it's Red Hat and I don't use that).

Why does my Galaxy A13 keep switching off auto-rotate?

I swipe down to get to the quick settings (or whatever it's called), and no matter how many times I've set it to auto rotate the screen, it's switched back to either portrait or landscape lock a few minutes later. When it goes to landscape lock all on it's own, it's making a lot of stuff difficult as you'd expect. Is this a common issue?
Really moving the full screen around, and you turned it off? Moto actions and clear the data and cache, underneath apps.
