Humble apologetic confession, and a question

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.

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

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.

Really slow video on Samsung Tab A7

I have a Tab A7 and I have a slot game that is just so slow. Yeah, it's a lower end tablet, but we're talking a slot game, not a first person shooter. So I installed and ran 3D Mark Sling Shot and it says my tablet is slower than 81% of all Tab A7s, much less higher end units. My tablet is a 2022 model with 3gb and 32gb. So two questions:

1. Any clue why the video would be so slow?

2. Is there another 8" tablet that would be an improvement in video? I'm fine with any brand. But 8 or 9" seems to be disappearing from the world.

Thanks!!
video? do you mean game? have you tried other games? try rebooting the tablet.

as for 8" tablets you want one that has bigger ram. 3 gigs is barely enough these days. 6-8 gogs of ram would be more ideal

gsmarena has a good phone/tablet finder that you can refine your search.
i did one for you:

this one looks good:

GOLF

Rory has a clutch factor about his game. Pressure over takes him. I like the guy a lot. He is good for the game. I think it was said that nobody had ever won the Masters with four double bogies. Rory proved it can be done. I was rooting hard for the guy and all the while watching him bogie his way through the last few holes. At least he had a great second shot on the playoff hole. And.... actually made his put.
