i put up an outdoor (rooftop) antenna for my mother.

she was paying $55 dollars a month for bare minimum dish network service (no internet)

we were so overwhelmed with info and choices that the only thing to do was to get an antenna for roughly the price of the monthly bill

i took the dish off its mount, and used that mount and the sweet satellite grade coax to set up the $50 antenna

she had like 50 channels of crap with dish, now she has about 42 channels of crap with no more payments

also got her phone to link to the tv, so she can cast to that

it figures that although it works, now that there is internet at the house she no longer really watches broadcast television much

I can't remember the last time I actually posted or received a letter, greetings card, or post card.

Well I'm glad Florida won. I hate the oilers so I'm equally glad they lost.

Plus I will never root for a Canadian team. I'm too American to do that.....lol

Normally these events happen in October. Google will introduce the Pixel 9 and Pixel Watch 3 on August 13, 2024

^^^People make up government. People sometimes are known to lie, cheat, and steal, as well as doing things that are embarrassing. The Bush Administration wasn’t the first to take actions that were less than savory, and it won’t be the last. Bringing such things to light is appropriate, though, because a free society generally deserves to know what its leaders are doing. Torturing terror suspects is awful, yes, but it is nevertheless a far cry from torturing, imprisoning and killing political dissidents, for example.

That aside, journalists must be responsible with the information given them. (Extreme example: publishing a list of names, locations, pictures and aliases of international spies. I don’t know anyone who would condone publishing that.) At the end of the day it’s an awfully weak defense to simply say “all I did was publish it.” That’s roughly akin to someone driving around in a car stolen by another and then denying any wrongdoing because the driver didn’t steal it. There is still complicity.
Journalistic integrity requires discretion.

Manning was the thief, no doubt, but Assange was his/her accomplice.

Given his self-imposed exile and British prison time, in the grand scheme of things I think justice has (to some extent) been served.

the video is supposed to show the value of projecy 2025. but for me, it just shows how scary this plan is.

As Honest Abe said: If it's no the internet it must be true.

I swear this post said it was by @bcrichster until I logged in to reply and now it says it was by @pandibear. If this is bcrichster, I got washed away in a tunnel flood and my brand new Moto G Power 2024 was washed away along with my wallet and all I owned. I had just ordered this to replace my ex's Zmax Pro and it came FRP locked. Took me days to bypass, but it's done. I recommended this phone to many in the past but never got one because of the locked bootloader. Now I find out there are ROMs for it? I feel like I missed a gem. Maybe late, but let's see what I can do with it. I'd hit you up on Telegram, but I can't make a new account until I can afford a new phone tomorrow. It will be a genevn since we now have trees for it. Talk to you tomorrow.

It say EMUI 12 I dont know what Android Version that correspond.

Sry I dont want be rude but do you not think I did this before? The say since the never mention Phones case close.

They are currently doing a pen and paper type of game too, find it on rustylake.com if you are wondering.

Never mind. The code just showed up on a different phone than I expected. It's working now.

I don't have a fold but I saw this article and you guys may be interested in it

I also have no faith in a paid Fitbit membership doing anything worth that much money.

I took a look at Fitbit and... you're right. As much as Samsung Health misses, it's likely better that Fitbit. Thanks for saving me money!

Yes, I do sleep with my Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. I take it off when I wake up and slip it on the charger to top off while I'm having a chiefly cup of coffee. I was looking at the Galaxy Ring: but I don't wear any rings except my wedding ring and I'm not sure I want to wear another one. If I do get a G-Ring, it will be metallic gold to match the wedding ring and I'll wear it on the right hand...

Thanks, but we're waiting impatiently for the last pooch to croak of natural causes. Boarding her for two weeks while we go on vacation is a bit costly! Until then, we're technically not empty nesters: but we're quite happy to be the parents of adults who left the nest. No more tax deductions!

When i bought the Pixel watch 2, i already had a Pixel 8 phone. Syncing the watch to the phone sent all the google apps from one to the other. All google apps work with Samsung, so i didn't have to buy a Galaxy watch. Maybe i'll check out the Galaxy 7 watch when it comes out.👍

Fair point, there are a few things that are nice if you have matching phone/watch (pixel or Galaxy)

I've got some good news. After 2 reboots the SD card showed up and it's been working ever since. The phone's charging is not that great, sometimes turbo and others nothing. Rebooting makes it charge, I guess. I have another question about a brand new phone. When I thought the Play wasn't going to work at all, I got a Moto G Stylus. I thought they were always 128 GB, but this is 64. I haven't used it yet because I want to set it up right. I was planning to use the Play's SD for that, but I figure I better not mess with it. There are some apps I wanted to put on SD and put that in the new phone. I can't do that now. Is there some way I could use Bluetooth to send apps to the new phone? Would that be working already on a phone that's barely out of the box? The main thing I want to do is lock it down to keep google and Facebook and that kind of junk from taking over because it's defenseless. I guess I'll have to let it connect to WiFi, but if I could use SD, I wouldn't have to do that.

Take into account the chain of connectivity between your computer to the Internet. Since you're using your phone's connectivity as the source, it's the account with your cellular carrier that's the source of that online access.
Your phone has two ways of getting online access -- WiFi and cellular. The two are very different from each other and are not interchangeable with each other. One relies on a relatively low-powered wireless signal, typically supplied by a router which is itself directly connected to a modem that's connected to an ISP's broadband network. The other relies on a more powerful cellular signal supplied by cellular towers and cellular access points (often located miles/kilometers away), Those cellular signals are supplied by each carrier's cellular network. A WiFi signal and a cellular signal are also themselves different frequencies, so it's always one or other in usage.
Your Android phone's Tethering/Hotspot feature is a workaround solution so you can use your phone as a limited-feature quasi router,but you're expecting your phone to magically allow your computer online access for free. When you don't have WiFi connectivity available, that leaves with the option rely upon mobile data/cellular access.

Thanks for the trouble you went to, to explain all that, svim. I have a general understanding of the situation, now. For me, the bottom line is that, for my limited Internet needs, I am not paying thirty-odd pounds a month to an ISP, but more like eleven pounds. As long as I keep a careful eye on the data usage, all will be well. Thanks again!

Yup. Verizon here and nada but I'm not worried, I'll wait and see what the reports are before updating anyway.

What calendar app are you using? I use Google's and it backs it up automatically. And the same goes for samsung. You can also use Samsung's Smart Switch to transfer most of your data.

Sorry, I missed you asking about the calendar app. It's a proprietary one, but I backed it up weekly, so I still have those.

I've been watching them except for this weekend, i was stuck watching Yellowstone all weekend.

VLC has those options also, and is freeware.

Are you actually sure you mean "USB tethering" to sync a Windows app with Android? I generally understand that term to mean "sharing the phone's internet connection via USB", which isn't the same as just allowing file transfer between the computer and phone. It's not obvious to me why you'd need USB tethering to sync an app, but of course I don't know what this app does.

If the computer is also connected to the Internet through Ethernet → modem → Internet, doesn't Windows use that connection instead of the smartphone + data plan when it's connected to the computer through USB tethering?

Click to expand...

Computers generally only use one internet connection at a time, e.g. if I plug my laptop into the wired network in my office it uses that instead of WiFi (which it is also connected to). So the question is, if you connect to both, which one will it use? And if you do have USB tethering running but the ethernet connection taking precedence, it will certainly switch to using the USB internet connection if the ethernet is interrupted.

In any case I agree with others: that screen is saying that some other device, presumably your PC, ran up your data usage via either USB tethering or WiFi hotspot.
