Youtube needs swiping to navigate the progress bar?

Yeah I have it on the tv and yes, it's much easier to navigate with a remote. Why is it on PC that I can just click anywhere on the progress bar, but Android has to make it so janky?
I never heard that word "janky" before I had to use my copilot.. hmmm...Depending on the info on the t.v., I used it a few times when staying at my brother in law's place, via connection to his tv and back.. Although currently not used it in ages though.

Tell me a joke...

One winter morning during breakfast a husband and his blonde wife in Northern Minnesota were listening to the radio. They heard the announcer say, "We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the snowplows can get through."

So, the good wife went out and moved her car to the correct side of the street.

A week later, they were again eating breakfast when the radio announcer said, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd-numbered side of the street so the snowplows can get through."

The good wife went out and moved her car again to the correct side of the street.

The next week they were once again having breakfast when the radio announcer said, "We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow today. You must park..." and at that moment the power went out.

The blonde wife was very upset. With a worried look on her face she asked, "Honey, I don't know what to do! Which side of the street do I need to park on so the snowplows can get through???"

With all the love, patience and understanding in his voice that men who are married to blondes develop, her husband replied, "Why don't you just leave it in the garage this time?"

Transfer gallery albums

Always - always - always back up your photos, videos, personal files to your PC on a regular basis! Don't rely on some app like SmartSwitch (which has proven to me, quite a few times, to be not so smart): plug your phone into the computer with a USB cable and copy/paste the files over. I don't trust "cloud" storage (which is simply someone else's computer drive), either... we have a Synology NAS (Network Attached Storage) here at home that keeps everything archived and under our control.

I back THAT up with external drives. In case the house burns down and takes both of those up in smoke, I have a remote backup NAS at our son's apartment that does encrypted, incremental backups during the night when he's asleep. Am I paranoid? Maybe... to a fault. After 15 years of smartphone use, though, I've learned the importance of redundancy in backup storage. I also want 100% control of our data because Google Drive, OneDrive etc. would data mine & analyze every file to extract as much information as possible; and use that to further build a consumer profile of such extreme, intimate detail that most people would have a heart attack if they actually saw it; and sell that to advertisers who have the money. NO THANK YOU.

Big Changes at Android Forums

You're seeing things I'm not - all I get is a list of the old messages I've sent back & forth. There is no option to start or send a new message.
When I click on the envelope a drop down appears with the option to click "Show All" or "Send Direct Message" which takes you to the page @olbriar mentioned.

If you go to a users profile page there is the option to send them a message.

If neither option is available to you, you can try the URL that starts a new message:

Replace "User" with their name and see if you're able to send one.

website broken?

I have two digital drives in the machine, one host the OS while the other is for everything else. Worse comes to worse I can always pop the chip out and put it in another machine. I have 3 external drives that have lots on them, but have not even turned one on in quite awhile, I need to copy the digital to the externals. I also have a spin up and blank disks if I really wanted to go old school ....

Double tap to wake

Google pixel 6 pro and what I mean is which app from the app list? You know, when you go to settings - apps and see the list of all the apps on your phone
Apps are individual packages of software to do specific tasks. The Android operating system is a different matter. It's a complex firmware that manages and maintains your phone, and it's a vital way for us to interact with our phone's hardware. The Settings app, a default in every Android device, is the most common way for us to customize and configure how are phone's function.
It might make it less of a hassle when you differentiate between apps you install (and come preinstalled), and the Android OS when you want to set up your phone the way you want. Start out by just sitting down and going through Settings menu to see all the options that are already available to you. The Settings app is unique and comprehensive, and the options in your phone's Settings' menus are specific to your phone model. (i.e. the Settings menu in a Pixel will have similarities with but also differences than the Settings menu in a Samsung.)
If there is something you can't tweak in your phone's Settings, that's when you need to search for a third-party app on the Play Store that's a possible solution.

Reviews Vivo X Fold3 Pro Global... WOW!

The size, folded, seems similar to the Z Fold series, narrow and tall. I bought the Pixel Fold after having bought the Z Fold 5. I have switched to the Pixel Fold for the more usable folded screen size.

The Vivo X Fold3 Pro's 72 .6mm is an improvement over the Samsung Fold6 68.1mm but the Google Pixel9's 77.1mm would have been nice however, the Tensor chip and smaller, slower charging, battery with only a 2,700 nit (peak) screen brightness and extra 21g weight, swung it to the Vivo for me.

Tyreek Hill

yeah but the issue, if we are talking about officer safety, is that the minute that officer reached in to open the door, he was in a much vulnerable position. he could have been shot.. like the cop in the second video i posted who said, if it were about safety and Tyreek would not come out, the cop should have just stood back and kept his distance. this was not about safety. like i said, it was all about how Tyreek was not obeying the cops commands. and the cop got butt hurt about that and escalated the encounter. i also said that it is both Tyreek's and cops who were present fault. this whole thing should have been handled different.

and cops should be held to a higher standard. they need to maintain a professional attitude at all times. no matter how non compliant the citizen is. cops should not blow their tops like that when things do not go their way.

did you not see the video i posted? i actually agree with the cops in that video.
