My 6 year old 55" Samsung LED died. Replacement?

This old 55" TV (HU8550?) now shows an instant green screen. Must replace the set. I prefer Samsung, and it must be 55". Prefer to buy from Costco, and this set looks good: https://www.costco.com/samsung-55"-...rs-of-total-coverage*.product.4000154397.html

However, Tom's Guide: Samsung OLED vs. Neo QLED TV — here's the one I would buy right now

Thoughts? Size must be 55".

Thanks.

my other friend said to add developer options n enable the sensors toggle n otd show in my drop down menu.


Noticed an option called oem unocking on the list of my current phone which is disabled (toggles showing grey not green).
Am i right by saying it needs to be on green to stop remote or any othet access to ny files/allowing them to be nodified is this correct?

What steps can i take to npt have to worry about another phone or do i just ignore tbe above n factory reset the new phone is it as simple as that?

Thank you masdively in advance,

Roxanne :)

Texas 5.2 Earthquake

The 5.2 magnitude earthquake is tied for the fourth strongest in Texas history. It occurred in an area where oilfield companies have long been injecting wastewater from fracking underground.....

Another large earthquake shows seismic activity continues to increase in West Texas, experts say

I'm not an anti-fracking protester but, fracking seems to cause a lot of earthquakes. Oklahoma had 567 earthquakes (3.0 and above) in 2014 when there was a lot of fracking. They need to come up with a different method to extract extra natural gas and oil.

"Do not disturb" mode don't hide notification icons

Good day to everyone.


I had moving from old smartphone with Android 8.1( Oreo ) to the new device with Android 12( Snow cone ). In the version 8.1 if i'm turning on the "Do Not Disturb" mode, then it not only muting the notification, but hiding all notification icons at top left corner of the phone screen till i'm gonna to turn off that mode. BUT within 12-th version of Android on my new device icons don't disapear( as you can see below on the screenshot with example of Facebook messenger notification icon ), but only sound is off when new notifications came.

I don't want to disable the push notifications for any app over Android settings because i care that suddenly something important will be sent to my phone. Nevermind whether notification is ad, message from messenger or something else. But from other side it's annoying to see these push notification icons cause they distract my attention when my break is out and i must go back to working place again.

I need just hide the notification icons somehow when i'm turning on the "Do Not Disturb" mode and when i turn off this mode, icons are appearing again like it was in the prevous versions of Android like 8 and older.

Whether is a way to do that ? How to do that ? Maybe here are special firmwares on Android or something else ?

Please, help me.

My old device
: Android 8.1, Asus Zenphone Max Pro M2 ( ASUS_X01BDA )
My new device: Android 12, Redmi 9 ( firmware MIUI Global 13.0.1 Stable )

Samsung A52 5G clanging loud. Why?

My three year old. A52 has been fine until today. It was in my jacket pocket and screen off when suddenly CLANG CLANG..... CLANG CLANG...for over five minutes until I unlocked the phone. It was the loudest I've ever heard from a cell phone. There were no abnormal notifications.


How to find out how/why this happened? My A54 did not ever do this and didn't do this while the A52 was clanging.

Reviews, I'm tired of being asked to leave one

It seems I get more and more emails asking me to review a recent product I purchased or to review my shopping experience at a store. Donating my time to leave a review deserves compensation. I'm going out of my way to do them a service. Definitely above and beyond a consumer's obligation. I made the mistake of leaving a couple of reviews on Amazon. Now after everything I purchase there I get a reminder to review. I even received an Email from Amazon inviting me to join their Vine program so my reviews have a bit more importance. Every time I run to Walmart I'm asked to review products and store experience. Every week I get an Email from the insurance company that repaired my truck reminding me to leave a review. I'm sick of it. If they want my review, give me something more than a chance to be chosen from a pool for a gift that I don't want.

Is your phone blown up with the review BS?
