    Restore lost contacts

    My friend had a problem with his phone. Now he has a new one but with none of the old contacts. How can he get them back? I figure since cricket is as nosy as the rest of them they probably have that stored somehow, and a whole lot more.

    Safeway sucks too

    There was supposed to be this big sale on pasta and sauce. I guess the pasta kinda was but not the topping, almost $4 a bottle. Then the bag ripped when I dragged it off the bus. I get really tired of these ripoffs, but there:s probably no good place to buy anything.

    Here we go with another can't find it

    I'm looking for a gray fabric Raiders pack with black trim. It's regular size and was available from the NFL shop in 2020. I guess they don't have it now. Yes, I checked ebay. The closest I could get was this but the vertical zipper should be horizontal and near the top.

    Amazon v. Game Day

    We want to watch the game tonight but it's on amazon and who has that? It's a real shame how they're allowed to take something as basic as being able to view football away from people. Is there some other way to catch it for free, possibly on a regular channel? The only alternative I know is...

    Xapk wtf

    Somebody I know lost his phone and I'm trying to help him find it. The number was called but it just went to voicemail. I have downloaded 2 of those find my device things but I can't get either of them to work. I also got an installer for xapk files. It was able to find the xapk but still no...

    Just say NOOO to Pizza Hut

    Last night we were watching the games and somebody got the bright idea to order a pizza and some wings. As the one who knows how to operate such things, I was pressed into service as the caller. By that time he was drunk and somewhat more easily annoyed than usual. I had to do some...

    Apple to sd

    This is for the moment highly theoretical. I MAY be able to get a used apple phone for free. Yes, I know it's treason. Face it...the camera's better. Anyway, I was wondering if it would be possible to transfer or copy photos and videos to the Stylus sd card. Since it's 1 tb it should hold...

    Stuck on a file

    Hello, welcome back, and what happened? Also, I have a question about copying to sd. I have tried more than once to do that with a lot of files and every time it hangs up on the same one. When I look for that file I cannot find it. Am I doing something wrong or is it Fossify (or something else)?

    Book alert

    I'm looking for a couple of kids' books from years ago. One features a girl who badly needs glasses. It shows what she erroneously sees and then what it really is in a series of charming illustrations. Of course by the end she gets the glasses. The other is a coloring book with a story about...

    Another walmart problem

    My friend got a set of bedding from them. It has sheets abd pillowcases as well as a bed skirt and comforter. She wants to replace the comforter and the plastic bag that holds them all. It's king size and paisley on one side with a white background. The other side is light green. The...

    WHAT IS IT WITH THE MOTO G STYLUS?!

    I just had another go bad. It was more or less ok earlier and about 1 hour ago it started having a seizure. It hasn't stopped yet. This was about the most expensive I've had, around $130. I mentioned that it seemed to drain somewhat fast and that it got unreasonably hot without being put...

    Possible xfinity/comcast scam

    About a week ago somebody I know received an unexpected package. It was from them and contained a boxy device which is probably a modem or whatever it's called. He said he didn't order it. Now he got an envelope with a bill in it for almost $70. What's the deal?

    Not a zippy thing

    I have a REALLY big duffel bag abd it has a really big zipper. The darn thing is stuck maybe halfway open. Yes, it's from walmart. I know. I know. How the heck do I get the zipper to zip? I guess there's something about using wax. Is there any particular kind? Does it have to be hot?

    Bath bummer

    The sink is clogged. I tried a paint key to get whatever was stuck and then used Drano gel, just not half a bottle. The best I have been able to do is bail with a soup can followed by a shot glass and then a sponge. There's no money for a plumber and I currently lack a pipe wrench.

    Posting article links

    How do I do that? I want you guys to check out "How Google Ruined Your Phone" from The Lever. It tells how that nasty goo is "cracking down" on Android functionality from third parties and offers a few alternative operating systems, such as Graphene. I would like to know if getting another os...

    New Moto G Stylus

    I haven't spent this much on a phone in quite a while, more than a hundred bucks. Overall it's pretty good. It does charge fast but it seems to drain a bit quickly, and sometimes it gets almost hot even though it's not being used for games or anything that way. About the most strenuous thing...

    A tisket, a gasket

    This thing on the fridge is shot. I suppose it's proprietary. It's a GE. How much do you think a replacement would cost?

    Phone ok or not

    I have been asked to fix a phone. The problem is I don't know what to do about it. It's stuck on a bluish green screen. Could this be malware? I will try to post a few photos.

    Cats behaving badly

    Two cats were maybe playing, or not. One was standing over the other with the other's neck in mouth. The victim(?) is a smaller female, the "bad guy" a larger male. They have the same mother although they are from different litters. Both are allegedly fixed, and seem to get along most of the...

    Camera app

    What's a good private one that doesn't save to googoo? I suppose I shouldn't expect much from a Blu, but I do want to maximize what it can do. I don't want something that goes overboard with permissions.

    Stinky washing machine

    My friend's washer smells to high heaven. She's blaming the pipes. I guess the laundry gets clean, but it doesn't pass the sniff test. Is there some cheap/easy/fast/magic fix?

    Fundraising

    I have a friend who needs money to pay bills and get the house fixed. Would go fund me be a good choice? How does it work?

    Dumber than goo

    My friend's phone was stolen from her office. She got another one, but she can't set it up properly because googoo insists on sending a message to her old, missing phone despite being told that it is not available. Why are they that stupid? What can she do to get around this problem?

    Good but cheap 256 gb phone

    I may eventually be in the market. I would prefer not Samsung. Also, it should be able to handle at least 1 tb sd.

    Tv tragedy again

    That plasma tv isn't working again. It could be the batteries because the couch was wet for a while. No, there isn't money for another.
