Samsung JANUARY 2026 update. EoL for the S21 series?

olbriar
My S21 ultra is installing the last security update as I type. I have a different view of the EOL dilemma than most. Though I am sorry that the phone is losing it's support, I'm also relieved. It wasn't long after I purchased the phone that an update, likely an OS, caused a communication error between the phone and my hearing aids. With the BLE randomly dropping connections, I would often miss calls and texts with the phone thinking it was connected to the aids when it wasn't. If I anticipated a call or received a call, I would turn my aids off so I could communicate without losing the connection. It was a nightmare until I recently purchased new aids. The EOL gives me clear sailing until the phone struggles with app updates or simply dies.

Tea Anyone?

olbriar
As I've said before, I love Darjeeling tea. I've been drinking it exclusively for years now. My last tea store visit I decided I would treat myself to the second flush Darjeeling tea which is significantly more expensive. I only bought a quarter pound to try and then my normal pound of regular Darjeeling tea. Here is what google says about the second flush: Second Flush Darjeeling is a prized summer-harvested black tea (late May–June) known as the "Champagne of teas" for its distinct, complex, and mature flavor profile. I brewed a pot and will admit it is a clean crisp black tea that's ideal for serving over ice. However, I'm very spoiled to the thicker taste, if you will, of the regular Darjeeling tea. I'm getting low on tea and remembered I have almost a quarter pound of the second flush in the pantry. So, I'm drinking some now. I have a fear that by the time I drink a quarter pound of second flush my regular tea will taste muddy. The second flush is very smooth and clean tasting. My taste might change when I shop again. The Darjeeling tea is $36 a pound and the second flush Darjeeling tea is $48 a pound.

No worries, bless my wife's heart, she informed me Alcaraz won. :) I'm watching the rebroadcast now. It's the first set with Djokovic looking great. I have a lot of respect for the guy. I would have enjoyed the anticipated Sinner Alcaraz matchup but this is entertaining so far. A fun tournament to watch. I was a huge fan of Rod Laver while growing up. There is a good reason the main arena bears his name.

The "I'm so old" thread game

olbriar
Jacks, marbles, jump ropes, and tops were THE toys for girls and boys when I was a kid. We had to improvise to go beyond the norm. We had a 55 gallon drum that was sealed on both ends that we would walk around the yard or try to knock/walk each other off of. We also had an inflated tractor tube that was our trampoline. A favorite of the boys was a pair of boxing gloves. I'm talking a left glove and a right glove. We'd square off, each with a glove, and when a kid got knocked down, we would trade gloves and fight again.

The Big CFP National Championship Game was tonight and was a dandy. The battle between Indiana and Miami was a pretty evenly matched contest that Indiana ultimately won 27 - 21. On Miami's last drive, with time slipping away, their QB was intercepted. Indiana kneeled off the rest of the clock to get the Win.
