Why does my Galaxy A13 keep switching off auto-rotate?

I swipe down to get to the quick settings (or whatever it's called), and no matter how many times I've set it to auto rotate the screen, it's switched back to either portrait or landscape lock a few minutes later. When it goes to landscape lock all on it's own, it's making a lot of stuff difficult as you'd expect. Is this a common issue?
Really moving the full screen around, and you turned it off? Moto actions and clear the data and cache, underneath apps.

What are you listening to?

With apologies for the FB link...I don't even know what to call this, but it's amazing.

And I can't even begin to imagine how his mind works.

What are you drinking right now?

When I was just a tag along kid, my father would play golf with his father in law and brother in law on a golf course in the pan handle of Oklahoma. They had a drinking well mid way though both the front and back nines that had some fantastic tasting water. The only water that came close was snow melt in a stream on Independence Pass up from Aspen Colorado. I'm talking sixty plus years ago. No idea now.

I see not bowling threads...

I tell people that I used to bowl. And golf. I bowled and golfed and I was fairly good at both of them... I'd bowl a 230 average and golf about a 72. Then I got married, had kids... over time, something odd happened. My golf and bowling scores reversed so I was bowling a 72 and golfing a 230 (don't laugh: I got my money out of the greens fees because I was out there all day long). I even had a polo shirt with "PLAY THROUGH" embroidered on the back. Finally the PGA sent me a letter, banning me from any course without a windmill on it. That's when I decided it was time to stop both of them. I tell people after I got married, I gave up my balls.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Phaseout of 3G Network

In northern Nevada, every now and then my phone will briefly connect with a 3G network, the connection last one or two minutes at most.
The only thing I can think is it was put in place by the bureau of land management, the department of transportation or the forest service, it was set up with or eventually had solar panels installed to charge the batteries
Why is it still operating? I think it was either forgotten about or it's some back up plan. Personally I think it was forgotten about or it was put up on some mountain top and people didn't want to go remove it.
The connection is sporadic, you most certainly won't be streaming Netflix

Wtf

He's zero tech. If he accidentally pressed some bizarre combination of keys, he probably wouldn't know it. I was thinking virus because of the nasty junk he's been getting into with that phone. The good news is that it came back on and seems to be "normal" (for a Samsung anyway). When he tried to make phone calls this morning he was getting only Cricket, the carrier, but now it's working all right, I guess.

Public disgrace er storage

Public storage is still horrible. They used to say that they knew people had a choice and thanked them for their business. Then again, googoo used to have the slogan "don't be evil". It reminds of that bumper sticker, Don't steal. The government hates competition.
Would you please call it Google, not everyone knows what your slang is.
