      Oh, given your phone is 10 years old, and Samsung having announced it now supports 7 upgrades for Galaxy devices, yours now qualifies for the update? Wow, some shock factor in there for the phone, and apart from the OS sucking the life out of the unit, everything looks fine?
      Admittedly, on 1080p, the tablet here has more grunt, and, compared to the old one (which is not connected to internet), loses a lot more drain on a daily basis. The focus on performance here is turning down or off and reducing permissions for apps which are not used. As committed to using the Google Play store only, the Samsung Play Store is turned off for now, even though it keeps prompting.
      The main gripe is not being able to turn off the sidebar in Google Search, (with “Discover” “Search” “Saved”) on the left. No issue with Chrome, but certainly with what Google has done to the Samsung browser. And, btw, there’s no mention of that sidebar in flags anymore, in fact the whole thing is a movable feast according to the comments in this video.
      Doesn’t seem to be a search box available for searching Chrome Settings in Android either- same with you?

        Luckily the Mexican Petunias are susceptible to frost which keeps them away from here somewhat, there’s a handy Grow Me Instead for this locale, there’s sure to be similar your way.
        Surprised about the elephants ears taking hold, again, they are frost tender, so don’t get them in the wild in these here parts.

          Did work out, albeit rather slow and painful, for which the extra expense in the subscription is disbursed.
          And after all that, the errors in the account pages remain:

          There is currently no email service associated with stearnvault.com

          And:

          Manage your hosting

          There is currently no web hosting service associated with stearnvault.com.

          cPanel Hosting

          Ideal for smaller websites. It offers reliability on a feature rich industry-standard platform.

          Do, of course have the cPanel hosting service, the details of which are located on another tab, but it is not the same as a TPP web hosting service apparently.
          It’s not beyond the realms of imaginings for the emergence of expressions of interest manifold for a gentle zuzhing touch up of the site with a hard bristled broom. πŸ˜›

            Definitely upgrade removed the comments, wonder if that was supposed to happen- will try to retrieve them. πŸ™‚
            There’s no issue with the tablet here, don’t get a hamburger menu at all actually- might be related to the 1080p res setting.
            Locating the appropriate setting has me flummoxed though, this poster gets an overlay menu in Navigation settings.
            There’s a demo of it in this short video:

            Can’t see anything like that in customising the main page- or is there more to it?
            Also noticed the <H1> and <H2> tags have dark text again.
            Edit: What’s really precious is the video is cutoff on the right, you’ll have to navigate to it in the browser, sorry. πŸ™

                The second series of Dark Winds was, at least as far as geography and plot went, more expansive than the first. The spooky swirling clouds were replaced in the intro with a more fiery graphic, hopefully the murky umbrae will be re-installed.
                Surprised not to have seen In the Heat of the Night before, heady atmospheric feel to it, good mix in cast headed by Poitier and Steiger. Super soundtrack including rhyming Wellerisms in Glen Campbell’s “Bowlegged Polly and Knock Kneed Paul” and Fowl Owl on the Prowl sung by Boomer and Travis.

                Rod Steiger was also terrific in The Illustrated Man, a movie wherein the stories of Bradbury succeeded, the screenplay bombed badly. Do recall the opening sequence of “The Last Night of the World” as quite captivating, and memorable, shame it is not currently available, good news it’s due out in the public domain in 2064. πŸ˜›

                And how can we not forget The Ray Bradbury Theatre, carrying on the great traditions of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Tales of the Unexpected, and Night Gallery.

                There is a lot of switching to parallel storylines in the 2000 movie Traffic, which requires the viewer glued to the seat for the 147 minute duration. The mini-series are bound to take it at a slower pace.

                There were a lot of things to like about Jackie Brown, colour, suspense, and soundtrack. The plot, like an overlay against the raw brutality of the characters, came off as somewhat artificial, a typical Tarantino hallmark.

                  When the grid goes, it’s on battery alone, thus powered outlets are limited, when it occurs on cloudy days, apply extra frugality of the sake of the battery!
                  Yep, haven’t attempted it yet, and from community feedback to current conversion tools, considerable intervention is still required.
                  Copilot popped up on the Android, funny that, as the device was only supposed to have OneDrive installed on it. Mind you, once these fabulous AI numbots are able to successfully convert PrgLnch into V2, no complaints from this nobbly numbat. πŸ˜›
                  AliExpress comes on a bit strong after you sign up, as many of the settings are unavailable from the login or account section, and the sitemap being only for warez. It works pretty well, considering the load of millions – perhaps billions of transactions each day. Logged in again a couple of days later, this time it insisted on 2FA, so now they have my mobile number, and then, surprise surprise, they miraculously dug up an old Google account from the Ali Baba days and insisted on merging that as well. Oh Bartleby, oh Technology. πŸ˜›
                  And, (edit:) somehow ended up accidentally using two accounts on Tech Commnunity, the proposed solution involves more collation of personal data, unfortunately. πŸ˜›

                            No worries, it’s slow here as well – it turns out the only way to get full integration in TPP is subscribe to an O365 account β€œhosted” by them. Which is done, as the current one year term with MS is up.

                                Should probably keep the current one installed until the styles are transferred πŸ™‚

                                The blockquote spacing is set with padding in the CSS. I may be able to change it after all πŸ™‚

                                Now that BP has been updated (with thanks) would the scenario of the 2024 theme rendering things lifeless, and the subsequent return to 2023 not resurrecting them convey the impression of irksome, and then some?

                                  Back in the day they would release “Collector’s item” comic editions, usually compilations, best of’s, or reprints of #1s or notable artist or event editions.

The description and proposed actions in this article are rather drastic, over here “more gentle” methods such as application of undiluted glyphosate on the triffids agave clusters have also failed. Despite a soft spot for the appearance of plant and flower, there is no hankering for an agave lawn, and bye the bye it has spread a little down the eastern gully side, and more prominently on the far northern hillside. πŸ™

                                    The problem with minor injuries is not so much the first time round wounding, it’s when something happens to area again (and again) most likely in transit, away from the house. Been there, done that. πŸ˜›
                                    Healing nicely then, great, the rubber thimbles help with splinters over here, got a splinter Friday evening in the garden, the thing went in the through the outside edge of the thumb close to the nail, and as you know, flesh softens with age so it went in deep. Little bit of pain with it, which is unusual here, and there was always the risk of tetanus. Didn’t think it would come out until well into next week, fortunately not so, the flesh was softened further by the thimble and it popped out nicely tonight, a pleasant turnaround. πŸ™‚

                                      Does that mean that by the time a Maxx “C” is drawn, and the opponent has already summoned 6 monsters, you get to draw 6 cards while he draws none? Surely the nomination of the Maxx “C” card on the play of the “Sales Ban” should be illegal if you have already used it?

                                        First time I’ve almost cut off part of a digit and the recovery isn’t fun. It’s pretty boring having to keep the pressure off, not to mention the difficulty it adds in performing daily tasks. πŸ˜›

                                        This – is – awful. Did it happen in the garden – do admit there were some close shaves here with the goats and sheep in the past. What works for me is a quick soak of the wound in antiseptic, then keep in a dry gauzy bandage for a day or so. Give the area a bit of sun for 30 minutes. Then use “thimbles” cut from rubber gloves for protection, quick soak sin antiseptic also help to prevent infection. πŸ™‚

As there is a dearth of “Swiss Army Knife” digital clock keys, procuring the right key for the clock can be a lengthy and expensive operation.
