The tri fold concept seems kind of neat, with potential to serve as basically a phone and a tablet and therefore one less device. If I was in need of replacing both then I'd probably consider one. However, not worth it to me to get one as my current devices should still have several years of...

There used to be something called Cell2Jack that was similar to XLink. It I think had a USB port for connecting to the cell phone, but I don't remember if that was only for charging the phone.

Does it only initially ring once by the phone, and otherwise by the car speakers after it starts to ring by the car speakers? Or, does it continue to ring by both the phone and the car speakers? There is a "ringtone sync" setting under Bluetooth advance settings, something to do with the...

Generally, your MAC address details wouldn't normally leave the local subnet where your device is located, meaning not beyond the local WiFi or router. If your MAC address details did leave such, it probably wouldn't be because of a browser but instead because of a compromised or maliciously...

So you believe that as a browser it will help prevent online websites and services from accurately fingerprinting your online presence, based on what it can do to mask your MAC address? Am I understanding that correctly?

Glad you found what you were looking for. Out of curiosity, what does GoLogin do for you about your MAC address?

Not entirely sure what you mean. A browser is normally a piece of software running on a piece of hardware, and normally interacts with the internet (per say) with lots (most, all...?) of its communications and traffic more so from the perspective of IP addresses or even domain URLs, at an...

They do (ask for permission for such). It's normally burried within terms and conditions we generally have to accept in order to use devices/apps, and in ways that aren't as clear and deterministic as lots of us would like.

You'll probably want to take a look at whatever Gallery/Pictures/Photos app you're using and what that might have as settings for automatic backup of your pics/photos/videos. Or (since you said it seems to be backing those up to your Google space), what the settings are for pics/photos/videos...

It can be daunting to have to check over and customize various settings in difference from defaults, and why most folks probably don't bother or surrender to things, if they even are bothered to try to become aware. However, I can't imagine your current S25+ is massively different than your...

Two of the screenshots appear to be Do Not Disturb notification settings specifically for or within the Google Play Services app, one for the normal Google Play Services app and the other for what I'm guessing is the dual instance of the Google Play Services app (you must be using the dual...

I don't think you need to be too afraid of Google Play Services since at least that's one of the big players, like also Samsung. However, I suggest you go into your Google and Samsung accounts (and also the settings you have under Play Store and Galaxy Store), and become familiar with what to be...

In my experience, the device shouldn't on its own be backing up things like photos and contacts (and doing that via Google Play services) unless the user has set (or allowed to be set) specific device, account and app settings for such behaviour. In my experience, control over such is not...

With no Samsung account on the device, it seems that most Samsung apps (or maybe the Samsung OS itself) will still call home and check if app updates are available. For example, in most Samsung apps the little notification dot will eventually show up within the app's settings or it's about, and...

Under notification settings or advance notification settings, look for notification history. A settings search for "history" should also find it.
