Why does it sometimes display videos sideways instead of the regular way? How do I make it do the right thing? Why do I always have these crazy troubles?

This assessment appears accurate.

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.

"Seriously, doctor, I am not a pervert! I was only sitting down at the bus stop and didn't notice this military shell in the seat!"

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.

I love breakfast. I had breakfast every morning while growing up. If we had cereal it was cooked oatmeal. It was fried bacon or sausage and sunny side up eggs with hashbrowns or grits. Once in a while I break down and fix the meal for dinner. I haven't eaten a morning or noon meal in decades.

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.

vivo have begun rolling out the January 2026 security patch to their global models of the X Fold3 Pro. This update also has optimizations for Android 16 as detailed in the screenshot.

I had to work far too hard for my money to speculate with what I managed to gather about me. I do not gamble. I realize that I will never be rich but I have no intentions of being desperately poor as I once was.

most of us are old farts, can you show us a video on here?

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.

Some times also could be a cable that doesn't transfer, or the setting in the phone to transfer data as they mentioned

Sometimes that is for sure DonB.

One reason why I use a Samsung phone these days.

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.

When 2 of our dogs were young they would always ride in my Ford Expedition, on the center console. They slipped off so many times...

It was Smart launcher, I did not had to factoy reset it again so soon. YAY.

Nightmare before Christmas,
does come to mind as of the later.

Too bad you do not put as much interest, in saving our Country, as you do desecrating your body ....

I do not answer calls from a number not in my directory. I haven't answered an unknown number in over a decade. I don't cut the call short, I just let it ring. I'll give a voice mail a look but rarely is any left. I get maybe two unknown calls a week.

I rarely ever get any calls from outside my contacts list. After the Boss Lady had her surgeries I'd get calls from the doctor, hospital, etc, and they'd come through. My call filter blocks known spam calls automatically.

Ah my brain fart of the day lately was,I forgot to check in with mom about my wifi service and she said it was about 95% used up, so no more streaming or anything, she does not knew I just factory reset my device oh only yesterday ... OOOPS, but I am glad I was able to back up my main apps and everything else, went super quick, so there was no waiting until it was riden over.. No wonder the wifi was spotty on my cell latey.
