AI suggested using App Lock found under settings > Security and privacy. However, I do not find the setting on my Samsung S21 Ultra. An alternative was to search for an app locker from the play store. The suggested app was AppLock. Both methods require a pin, password or fingerprint to access the apps that you choose to lock.

i dont use google, but there used to be a setting that made it so that approval had to be given before apps could be downloaded or purchases made

not sure if it is there anymore

you could disable the download manager app, but that would disable all downloads to the device until it is enabled again

I use a paid Eset which checks/certifies a cert and passes the info to Fx

Mozilla does not always recognize the temp cert and hollars about it.

Firefox may display a TLS connection error when your antivirus software prevents data from being sent to your browser. This happens when your antivirus software fails to register itself with Firefox as a valid issuer of TLS certificates.

Just pressed on text rectangle and all icons shifted left and camera & picture icons showed up. Would have been nice if Samsung had noted that somewhere. Attached and sent pictures. Thank you everyone for trying to help me.

Hi there, AF buddies. (Give me time...I'll get used to its new name eventually.) I've been thinking about AF a lot lately, and how much I loved it because of its members, so I thought I'd pop in and say hi. I hope you're all doing well and life's been treating you nicely. I don't know who's still here, but I want any old-timers reading this to know how much you meant to me, especially at some very tough times. Some of you really felt like actual, real life friends, and I've missed you.

I just shut it off and put in the new sd card. Then I fired it up and the card showed up ok. I'm copying files right now. I'm still mad about the other card. These things ain't cheap. I hope I can find a way to recover it.

My mother always said, better late than never.

Got it. If you can see your contacts at contacts.google.com, then they’re still saved in your Google account — you just need to get them syncing properly back to your Pixel 6.
Here’s how you can fix it step by step:
1. Make sure Google Contacts sync is turned on
On your Pixel 6, open Settings.
Go to Passwords & accounts (sometimes just “Accounts”).
Tap your Google account (the same one you use on contacts.google.com).
Select Account sync.
Make sure Contacts is switched ON. If it already is, toggle it off, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on.
Tap the three-dot menu (⋮) and hit Sync now.
2. Clear Contacts storage and resync
If step 1 doesn’t refresh them:
Go to Settings > Apps > See all apps.
Find and tap Contacts.
Tap Storage & cache > Clear storage (don’t worry, this just clears the local database, not your Google account).
Restart your phone.
Force a Sync now again (as in Step 1).
3. Restore deleted contacts (if you actually deleted them)
Google keeps backups of deleted contacts for 30 days:
On your PC, go to Google Contacts.
Click the Settings gear ⚙️ > Undo changes.
Choose a time (e.g., “10 minutes ago,” “1 week ago,” or a custom date within 30 days).
Click Undo.
After this, sync again on your phone.
4. Import them manually (if sync still won’t work)
Since you can see them on your PC, you can export and re-import:
On contacts.google.com, click the Export option (left menu).
Choose Google CSV format.
On your Pixel 6, go to Contacts app > Fix & manage > Import from file.
Select the CSV file you exported.
This will bring them directly into your phone’s local contacts.
Hope this will be your help.

Just signed on with a company for fiber.

My machine is hard wired and the tv is streamed. I can have mesh but really do not need it as the only device is the tv box.

I have not bothered to check the wireless speed to the tv, as long as it works I am good.

This it the hardwire computer :

Negative, the box will only go as fast as the box can.

Well the rumour mill was correct: they just announced the Venu 4, which seems to have a lot of added fitness features, multi-band GPS, and the LED flashlight they've previously kept for higher-priced devices.

Might have bought this if they'd released it 7 weeks earlier. But it's also very similar to the Forerunner 570, both in price and features, and I decided not to buy that one, so maybe I wouldn't have. I think on balance I did better by getting the F165 when I did, since I've been using it pretty intensively since then (took up running again, for the first time in decades).
