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.

No snowmageddon here in Hong Kong.

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

Probably got stuck trying to send your data to China.

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.

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.

I just learned that actor Pat Finn, probably best known from "The Middle," though also from story arcs on "Friends" and "Seinfeld" (and lots of other shows) died of bladder cancer on December 22nd. He was 60.

RIP, Mr. Finn, and thanks for sharing your talents and adding laughter to the world. Condolences to your fans, friends, family and loved ones.

My present Android player is Musicolet. On the PC I'm old school like Hadron and use an old rev of WinAmp. I pretty much got out of the mp3 game when Napster hit the scene.

We have one for a bit now, and now drinking Donut decafinated coffee, it is amazing flavor and texture over all. Mom bought one for her one time for the volenteer group, it takes up a lot less counterspace and no more putting in beans in it! (We still have some beans inside the bags and everything.)

Yeah whenever that was, our big breaker quit on us one random day, so my mother's boyfriend is a part time farmer for us, he does mostly electrical stuff, so he was able to switch it on and off for us. That was a bit ago.

Sorry for the confusing. Yes the pop-up screen appears, stays, and shows the caller, but the announcement through my bluetooth earpiece is only once and after the first ring. I'd like the caller to be announced more than once.

Best way would be check on your home screen's cellphone icon and acutally look at it.

app data is pretty small in comparison to say pictures or videos. you will hardly notice any difference....especially from a messaging app like telegram....unless you have hundreds of conversations you want to backup....so i doubt you will see any significant difference in storage space being saved doing so.

I sent a few letters when the postage rate was four cents. I sent lots of postage with five cent stamps. Seventy eight cents seems unreal considering the service is far from what it once was.

I remember three cents before 1963

We haven't had a real tree the last few years since they jumped so much in price, so we just have the pre-lit fake one visible through the front window.

I'm only coming back here because I watched a clip on YT about things changed by "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and one of them was that it had a devastating effect on the aluminum Christmas tree market. I can remember those awful things and I was glad to see them go, and even gladder now that I found out how much one of my favorite Christmas programs had to do with it.

He just turned 100, and I for one am very happy he is still with us.

Keep at it, Mr. Van Dyke!

yes he is referring to either a flash drive or sd card....especially sd cards. files can get corrupted quite easily on such devices.

or another option (which i know you do not like) is using google photo's to back up your pictures like i do. i never ever have to worry about my pics. i still have photos from 20 years ago stored there!!!!!

Oh I have my ps3 for that same reason.
