Really nasty

There are things AI can't, or won't, do: I uploaded a couple of videos of AI being stupid and not being able to shut up... even Alexa (aka "Bimbo in a Bowling Ball") likes to tell me things like, "I have a suggestion for (whatever we're doing). Would you like to hear it?" If I tell Alexa to stop sending me suggestions, it shuts up; doesn't even acknowledge my statement; and continues to suggest things.

Incoming Google Lockdown

i saw today that if i open the Tubi app, it loads and then tells me that Tubi will not run without "Google Play Services, which is missing from your device."

tapping the screen most anywhere twice or a few times dismisses this toast message, and then the app works fine.

(this is all the proof i need that the app does NOT need google play services at all)

the toast reappears repeatedly as i scan the app, but so far no interruption of films with it after the film starts.

The Masters 2026

Rory didn't have a great last round but few did. Rory was able to join the noble three by being a back to back winner at the Masters. Good on him! I think he is a quality role model for young golfers. Scottie Scheffler, though even after the first two rounds took second. He shot 11 under in the last two rounds to be one shot off of Rory's 12 under victorious score.

Not receiving specific texts on Pixel 7 Pro

Hello.

About 3 weeks ago, I suddenly stopped receiving account activity text alerts from Citibank. I had no problems previously, and I am still receiving all other personal and alert style texts from people and other companies. I have double and triple checked that I didn't accidentally block the number that sends them. I didn't. I called Citibank customer service, and they have no idea what my issue is.

A little while back I was given advice here regarding text messaging. I don't think this started until later, but I can't be positive. Could there be some connection? Please see my posting history.

Any idea what the problem could be? Thank you for any assistance.

Google ending sideloading

i dont allow updates to my devices for this very exact type of thing

Everyone is always, "Gee, man. You sure bitch and moan about Google a lot for someone who uses their devices."

Yes.
Yes I do.

I f you buy a hamburger at McDonald's, it is how you want it or else you dont except it.
Somehow if it's Google I am just supposed to toll over and hope that they use lube this time and I better not bitch about it.

This is why I want them off the device before it ever connects to the web at all.

As far as I am concerned, if Google doesnt like that then it is their prerogative not to sell the device to me in the first place.

It's just not my problem, and nobody is going to convince me otherwise.

I am actually anxious to see what if anything happens to my device.
This is going to be a great test to see if what I have done to this thing really works or not.

I just wish that I had a better device to start with, this one was the last dud in the line its from.

Watch everyone scramble for old devices and batteries for them after this $#!+storm hits.

Then again, the ones that say I bitch too much will be rolling over and lubing up (if they want)

And I will still be out there bitching about it, no matter what happens.
It is what it is, right?

Help URGENT HELP: Samsung A54 calendar events all disappeared

So glad your problem was resolved. What was the suggestion that lead to the restoration of you lost calendar events?

He sent me a TM and I clicked on the link. He joined my phone, took control, and it was so fast I may not recall all he did. Clear cache, then synch. Then we did the same to the second phone. Wonderful experience.

I did not have to wait on hold. Guess why.

S25+ Battery Issue

also, battery cycles are measured by 0% to 100% being one full cycle.

if you charge from 50% to 100%, that is half of one cycle and you would have to do that twice to get one full cycle.

likewise if you were to charge from 20% to 80%, then you have completed 60% of one cycle.

that is why the store told you numbers that did not equal your charging numbers.
