Phone app and spam

When i look at the Recents list in the Phone app I can see that some are marked as spam and/or blocked but a number of them are not. How can I mark a call as spam or blocked in my Recents list ? If I choose a recent call the only choices that I see, beside the phone icon for calling back, are "Add contact:, "Message", and "History". Surely I should be allowed to mark a recent call as spam or as a number which should be blocked.

Linux that will embarrass those other OSes

"Meet The Linux Desktop That Will Embarrass Windows 10 And macOS in 2020"

Thought I'd give this its own thread, in case any windows or Mac folks happen by. Let them have a [partial] glimpse of what they're missing by not using Linux on their computers. They're using it on their phones and tablets, though they may not realize it.

I say 'partial glimpse' because this article focuses on its aesthetics, not Linux's superior, more powerful, under the hood stuff, or the freedom that comes with using it. But that's okay! Nothing wrong with admiring something beautiful, in this case, Deepin. The author oozes enthusiasm:

"This is without question the most beautiful desktop environment I’ve ever laid eyes on. I’ve gone from admiring it as an elevated Desktop Linux distribution to downright salivating over it. Every time I revisit the OS, I’m reminded of not just how elegant it is, but that it also boasts that “wow factor” that makes using it feel exciting and not merely a daily necessity."

As for me, the die-hard Kubuntu user? Sure, I'll give it a try! Why not? I've tried many distros--both before and after settling on Kubuntu.

Stuck in recovery mode

My Samsung Tab A is stuck in recovery mode. Selecting the reboot system now option just gets it stuck in a boot loop and i can't get past the logos so I have to go back to recovery mode. I tried wiping the cache, doing a factory reset, and mounting the system and those did nothing. I haven't tired applying update from adb, and applying update from SD card as I'm not sure how to do it. I tried connecting my tablet to my windows 7 laptop but it won't connect unless I select the "apply update from adb" option. I'm not sure what to do.

What is the Skin-On Interfaces?
Skin-On Interfaces are sensitive skin-like input methods than can be added to existing devices to increase their capabilities.
When we interact with others, we use skin as interfaces. However the objects of mediated communication - such as the smartphone - still has a cold interface that doesn't allow natural interaction and input.
In this project, I wanted to make available the perfect human interface that is the skin for existing devices.

FlickADrink - Updates

Hey, my name is Ville! I'm developing my first mobile game, FlickADrink. I'm looking for people to test, and give feedback on the early version.

FlickADrink can be downloaded for free:
Google Play store page: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...mes.DrinkFlick


FlickADrink is going to be a collection of western minigames with pixel graphics.

V0.2 contains:
  • Bartending game, where you swipe/flick drinks to customers based on what they order. They might get all rowdy and fighty, if you're too slow, or screw up the order. Fighting customers have to be tapped out, before they reach the counter and start fighting. The saloon is dirty and empty in the beginning and it's your job to buy furniture, tables (passive income), decorations and service upgrade, which affect the gameplay.
  • A train is leaving the station and some cargo is still sitting on the pier. Swipe them on the train before it leaves the station and earn some extra cash.
  • Town map where the locations are minigames. Currently contains saloon, general store and railway station.
  • Google scoreboard for the saloon minigame.
  • Several Google achievement.
Plans for future:
  • Darts
  • Dice
  • Cards
  • High noon duels
  • Fist fighting
  • Racing after bank robbers with horses

Mandatory "In development note". The game is still missing several effects, features, SFX, some music and has bugs.

All feedback is very welcome!

Help My wife's phone used to send me photos

Instead of photos, my wife's phone now sends me Google Drive links. Knowing my wife's sophistication about these things, I'm sure she didn't set something intentionally; I can't imagine what she might have set inadvertently. But when she takes photos on the phone and sends them to me, I don't get the photos directly; I get a Google Drive link. She has a moto e5 play.

Samsung Galaxy Ethernet interface needed

Saw a post from Jeam in 2016 where I'm thinking "Did I post this?"
"...it seems to be impossible to download the updates that way, it keeps asking to do it via WiFi.​

The problem is that the wife is extremely concerned about possible long-term health issues related to wireless signals, and I would like to keep the peace by doing the updates either by mobile data or by Ethernet..."
Our home became WiFi-free earlier this year and during our final remodel (of 3) we had Ethernet pulled to every room. She uses Apple and has been hooked up since June. I still haven't found out how to connect my Samsung Galaxy 7 (Device name: Samsung-SM-G930A).

ANYONE KNOW how to enable Ethernet as the signal source? And what hardware (dongle) is needed?

Thank you,
Grady
