It tells me the last update was November 2025 and it checked December 25th 2025. There are no other updates apparently available. That is not the case with my phone, which reports of December 1st security update, but that's what my tablet is telling me.

I have run into this a couple of times over the years while copying a large amount of data. I am not entirely sure why myself but I do have some theories. On some occasions I thought maybe my cable connection wasn't perfect. On others I found some files I was trying to copy needed to be renamed...

And finally..... So, I contacted Sparin. They said they did not mass produce until they could get to 0.3mm thinness and they thought they had good fingerprint sensitivity. I advised they didn't. :unsure:Ripping off the screen protector helped a lot! With it on, nothing helped much. They were...

So, I ripped the screensaver off. I still had some difficulties registering a new set of fingerprints, which I thought was a good idea . The first few times I tried the fingerprint reader without the screen protector and with new fingerprints, however, it still didn't work very well. Then I...

Honestly, fingerprints don't work well. Nothing helps much. Thought I'd try Face recognition. That doesn't work well either, tho better than fingerprints. Thought I'd try to pair it with a trusted device--my s23--to extend unlock. It wouldn't accept that either, although it did pair. But then...

I will say I was continuing to search around, and my half jesting comment about the weather this time of year making everything very dry, including my skin, was not really wrong. I was actually seeing something, I think was on the Samsung site, suggesting that you might want to make your thumb...

So, I have had a couple weeks now to play with this and have a couple of impressions. Big pro: since it comes with a native Android 16/U.I. 8, I lovvvve the multi-window feature on a tablet. Even though they had upgraded my old 7+ to a certain point, it didn't perform like this. Everything...

Be still my heart. But nah. I saw "SammyFans" site reporting rumors that SD cards were under consideration by manufacturers because of the increasing cost of hard drive space on phones. (Yeah, like I've been saying for years....!) Apparently all the old reasons for getting rid of SD cards would...

I categorize the tablet world into two groups: those who see some need for a laptop replacement, and those who don't. :ROFLMAO: For those who don't, even though a 12.4 is better at some things (like watching Netflix downloads on a plane!), it's not as versatile as an 11, which does everything...

I looked at one, and really that's a laptop replacement. I have a laptop, thanks. 🫡 I might have gotten the plus except there isn't one. In the past I had a plus. The screen is beautiful, but it was kind of a beast to travel with. So I think I'm happy with an 11 regular.

Maybe at the moment. But I think it'll spread. The market is so boring, they need something to jazz people up to get them to trade up.

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Samsung-launches-new-ultra-premium-foldable-with-special-design.1136017.0.html I'm beginning to think it's cheaper to bring a tablet or laptop and a phone. "Ultra premium" yeah, I know what that means. At a certain point, if you have to ask about the price, you...

This seems to be a category that has largely gone out of fashion. But I like my desktop screen pointed to photos I add to a list, and then it changes every few minutes as I set it up. I used to use a program called Panorama. It had limitations. More full featured is Wallpaper Master Pro. That...

You say that like it's a bad thing! :unsure: I am long since retired as a lawyer. But to be clear, to the extent we can screw things up, we make a lot more money. Look, we have children who have to go to college too. Something has to pay their tuition.

Heh. I had a British friend. In the midst of some conversation--don't recall background--I happened to say he was European. He looks up with a stare only the British can master and said, "We are of Europe, not in it! Don't be insulting." (I got the point. Still don't think the phrasing...
