Exporting Text Messages from Note 8 to PC ?

SMS backup and restore from the play store will do this for you. Have it backup to Google drive, then login to Google drive on your computer.

Yes... I have never deleted any messages since i got the phone in 2019. Its my diary with people.

Well this is the app that I use, also. But I have no idea if it can handle that many messages

Device question - tried to access

I'm sure it's very common actually. TOR(The Onion Router) is very much a community effort, with people voluntarily running the TOR nodes on their own private computers. I used to use TOR myself, because I'm in China, to bypass the Great FireWall censoring. I certainly wasn't using TOR for anything nefarious, like hacking attacks.

The TOR Entries, TOR Exits, and all routing can be done on volunteer computers from users' own homes. It's different to a commercial VPN service, like Astrill or Express, where the nodes are located in commercial data centres.

Awesome! Thank you for the detailed response and image.

The TOR exit relays were coming from IPs in Germany and the US. The residential IP came from an address in Singapore. I'm trying to figure out if the attacker slipped up and used his actual IP from his home location before switching to the TOR relays OR if the Singapore IP is more likely to be a residential VPN (correct me if I'm wrong but these tend to have frequent outages and are a bit slower?)

For context, the attacker was denied access via the Singapore IP on the original attack, but managed to gain access with the TOR relays about an hour later.

Roll Call! What's up 2023?!?!?!

Hi all, I'm well (as are my wife and rescue cat). We now have 3 grandchildren (5 ,3 1/2, and 1) how our daughter manages in a tiny apartment ground floor flat I can't imagine. We're still All Linux/FOSS and off to Croatia on holiday in a month . I'm still considering changing to an EV adn prices for used ones seem to be coming down quite nicely in the UK right now.

Help Schedule volume changes

I have used MacroDroid by ArloSoft for this purpose for years. I found Tasker to be overly complicated for my relatively simple needs. That said, any app of this type takes a moment to learn its world view.

At 10PM, it automatically sets my media volume to 0 and my notifications to 45%. At 8AM it turns media to 50% and notifications to 75%. You could probably turn up the appropriate volume settings at midnight to be sure you haven't left your meeting mute on overnight.

How to view running apps on Android 12?

If you look in your phone's Settings >> Battery menu, that should show you a listing of running apps but that's more or less just cursory info. Not knowing what phone you have, there's no way to be more definitive. But if it's not very obvious it's likely to be buried in a sub-menu option.

If you want a more detailed viewing, you should use the 'Running services' option instead. Running services shows not just apps you're using but system apps and services that are running in the background. (...in the Running services window, switch to the Cached processes). You do need to enable Developer options in your Settings menu first, so you can then access Running services.

Low Battery Warning Stopped

Your LG Rebel 4 LTE phone is a Tracfone, carrier-locked, 5yr old model with relatively low hardware specs and running an out-of-date version on Android:
Before you try to do something that replace the battery or spend anything to 'upgrade' this phone, you might want to just save your money and put it aside to help pay for a newer, more capable phone instead. There are a number of 'budget-class' phones that are just as capable or more so.
Carrier-unlocked models will cost a bit more but allow you a lot more flexibility to switch between different carriers, but if that's not something you care about, buying a carrier-locked model from the carrier can involve a significant up-front discount when you don't mind locking yourself into a contract.
