Humble apologetic confession, and a question

rootabaga
For those keeping track at home, this is the link I primarily used: Switch from an iPhone to a Pixel phone - Pixel Phone Help

I did turn off imessage and facetime (never used it) as in the instructions before I did anything else.
In my case I left the iphone active and fired up the new pixel. After a few initial setup screens it asked about another device, so I went through the steps, I had a C to Lightning cable and my real concern was that the iPhone was so old (6S with IOS 15x) that it might not work or worse, would damage something. But it mostly went flawlessly. It even moved over (well, reinstalled) my apps, which was a great benefit. All my text history is there, as well as my contacts. I was also able to reuse my physical sim, after I got everything copied over I put the pixel in airplane mode, swapped the nano sim into the pixel and waited about a half-minute and turned off airplane mode.

The only thing that didn't work well was all of the info I had in the iPhone "Notes" app, which came over to the "Keep" app in the android. While they are kind of there, they are just a mess, mostly completely worthless. But I can live with that.

I also have a steep learning curve, having been off the android platform for way too long.

Easter Weekend

Got a cute hosting plant from my sister, only requires mist and air to survive.
We exchanged gifts, I got her yogurt covered pretzels and jelly bellys,
we had Ham with asparagus wrapped in bacon, with mash potatos and pianana salad for Easter Dinner.

Starlink

I just checked the prediction map. There are no good visibility windows listed for the next five days. I anticipate cloudy skies most of next week anyway with all the rainy days predicted. I've learned that patience is definitely a useful virtue when trying to observe space. I'll catch one of these reflection sessions eventually.

Favorite Coffee

olbriar
We are bigger tea snobs than coffee snobs. We buy our loose tea at a spice shop down town. We buy our teas a pound at a time so it isn't a weekly or even monthly purchase. The store is also the outlet for great coffees and we often will buy a pound of Kenya AA when purchasing teas. The aroma of their freshly ground coffees is to die for. We grind our own but the aroma of that coffee is worse than popcorn wafting through a theater when we are there to buy tea. It's impossible to not buy some.

Samsung Fold/Flip 6 & S24 series One UI 7.0 rollout halted by Samsung

The_Chief
I stand corrected. Yep, that's a BAD flaw: fortunately for the Darling Bride and me, neither of our S24 Ultras exhibit this problem. One would think, however, that with more than 16 weeks of beta testing, such a critical bug would have been identified and fixed quickly. That leads me to believe that the final firmware is something other than the beta 6 we tested.
