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.

I accidently downloaded two CAP files from NVIDIA to assisst with..

A CAP file contains packets collected by a packet sniffing program. It saves raw data and metadata captured over a network transmission. CAP files are also called trace files or bone files, and they are used by multiple packet sniffer applications.

Tried the one with the shark fin in it, seriously I think my Full understanding of "geek" language is already dead.. What the heck is it wrote with?

Samsung Exynos 2600 2nm chips may power Galaxy S26 series worldwide

Chip foundries have come a long way, and the biggest challenge seems to be shaking off a bad reputation. Mediatek, for example, has long been regarded as making budget processors for budget devices. Their new Dimensity 9500 processors, however, can hold their own against Snapdragon and Exynos chips.

TSMC has processor design and production down to not only a science, but an artform: Qualcomm is the go-to brand for a large number of manufacturers. Samsung's in-house Exynos processor has long had a bad reputation as a lesser-quality chip than Qualcomm Snapdragon processors.

Samsung Foundry, however, seems to have finally (better late than never) figured out what went wrong with their Exynos 2500 3nm chips... and are now far ahead on the 2nm process. It may result in a Samsung device as good, maybe even better, than one powered by Qualcomm and at a lower price, since Samsung would be making its own chips.

Help Zoom in and scroll faster questions

Hello,

Q1. How to zoom in for apps that do not respond to zoom in gesture (pinch-out gesture)? (note: "pinch-out" gesture, start with your thumb and index finger touching the screen, then spread them apart to zoom in.)

Q2. How to keep scrolling down/up automatically on apps that have long information (continuous scrolling info) so I can go to the top or bottom info faster?
I tried to use a scrolling app but it is still very slow, I am using this app Flex: Multi-Speed Auto Scroll Flex: Multi-Speed Auto Scroll - Apps on Google Play

Thanks

Slowness

It is interesting that it is isolated to one and not both of your devices. Some members have trouble viewing the posts and some don't. I wish I had an answer for you. All I know is that you get what you pay for... bwhahaha.. Seriously, I am sorry and wish I had a fix. I am certain that the problem stems from the site I am coping the memes from. It is a gun enthusiast site and perhaps it is in some fashion blocked.
