He's zero tech. If he accidentally pressed some bizarre combination of keys, he probably wouldn't know it. I was thinking virus because of the nasty junk he's been getting into with that phone. The good news is that it came back on and seems to be "normal" (for a Samsung anyway). When he...

My friend's phone is stuck on what appears to be some kind of download screen. I think it might be a virus. He has been visiting rather unsavory sites. I cannot shut the phone off or do much of anything with it except take a picture or two with my own substandard Moto G Stylus camera. By the...

They're baaaack...or it is. Once again the only way I can get the screen on is unplug/replug. Last night I did some cache clearing in hopes that would do it, but no.

Point well taken

Public storage is still horrible. They used to say that they knew people had a choice and thanked them for their business. Then again, googoo used to have the slogan "don't be evil". It reminds of that bumper sticker, Don't steal. The government hates competition.

Well, woudn'tcha know it. The darn phone fixed itself but I don't know how. I guess ir's almost the same thing as taking the car to the shop and then it doesn't make that funny sound.

Brother, I have been busy as "AF": little fires everywhere. Somehow I end up being the go to/fall guy for just about everything. Whatever it is I'll probably catch the blame. I'm Buttons to the world's Mindy. Seriously, though, can I just unscrew the thing with a regular screwdriver, no...

Recently the Moto G Stylus has begun not to "wake up" when it's jostled, grabbed, etc. Before it was maybe too sensitive. Now I have to make sure it's plugged in and take it off the charger. I checked out gestures and told it to work with both tapping and moving, but no dice.

Not everybody has that stuff or wants it. Some people don't have access to banking. Then there are those who are old school and wary of using cards. This brings me back to that book I'm still looking for, Hook Line and Sinker, about the founding of the credit industry. Apparently the guy...

I know I posted about this maybe a year ago but cannot find it. As godawful as they already were, understaffed, overpriced and rising, they've really taken the cake this time. They are NO LONGER ACCEPTING CASH?!@$ They have a lot of nerve trying to screw over regular people without platinum...

Yeah, it's a good day to catch up on these things. The window cleaner trick works, but it's limited. An even better trick is to wash the darn thing. It barely fit alone in the machine. Now the zipper just glides.

Guess what...it's Spectacles by Ellen Raskin, published in 1968

Feast your eyes on this:

Never mind. It turns out that there were no files to save. It just looked that way.

Just recently I did save some files. When I went to save more, it wouldn't. The only reason I did not include those the first time was that they somehow got bumped. I figured maybe uncleared cache was to blame but apparently that wasn't it. Late last night I did reboot the phone, which took...
