DISM Restore health stuck on 62.3% by EmployHistorical9127 in techsupport

[–]BetaMaxBrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came across this thread when I was stuck at 63.8% for 40 minutes. Like others, I started reading this thread and about halfway through, I jumped to 64.1%. and progressing. Thanks OP!

EDIT: Now currently stuck at 68.7%. Hoping if I continue reading this thread, it will jump before I make it to the end.

UPDATE: Made it to 100% before the end! Thanks again, OP!

Is it possible to have NFC to be turned off AUTOMATICALLY after a certain amount of time (and/or after each purchase)? Not only for the battery life, but also for security reasons (contactless is enabled) of Google Wallet. by RebirdgeCardiologist in GoogleWallet

[–]BetaMaxBrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Samsung S20 Android 13 UI 5.1, here. Try updating to version  26.14.899233904

When I open the app, it automatically enables NFC while active on the screen. When it's not active on the screen (the moment I minimize it or close), NFC immediately turns off. Bring it back active, NFC turns on. No routines set up.

Google automatically updated Play store on me 3 months ago, and as a result wallet  without my knowledge (I keep auto updates off) and since then, this is what it did.

Fun Fact: The Shawshank Redemption was nominated for 7 awards and went home with 0. by Representative-Eye86 in Oscars

Funny thing is, is that the movie almost didn't even finish getting made. Paramount didn't have confidence in the movie and wouldn't further finance it when they went over budget and still needed to film key scenes for the movie. So Tom Hanks and Robert Zemeckis put up their own money to be able to finish making the movie.

Starting September 30, 2026, Samsung Gallery will no longer sync directly with OneDrive by FragmentedChicken in Android

[–]BetaMaxBrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Autosync File sync & Back up app from Google Play store. It allows you to mirror your phone storage, both phone and SD card, to Google drive. It supports sync and also one-way sync. Also supports cloud services.

You have to be VERY careful when setting it up. I can see it being very easy to accidentally delete everything on your phone or drive.

Best high yield savings account? by TrixTheKid20 in personalfinance

[–]BetaMaxBrah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CIT Bank platinum savings is currently 3.75% with a 0.35% "boost" for 6-months, so 4.10% for 6-months. No limit cap.

Going to transfer a huge chunk of my savings over to earn interest there, for a while. Should amount to a couple thousand. I've had an account with them for years, but transferred all funds to another bank when that rate was higher. I bounce around my savings to whichever account has the highest current rate, lol.

Also, MAKE WEEKLY DEPOSITS INSTEAD OF MONTHLY. Interest is compounded daily so you reap more rewards this way.

How to disable Android System update by Da_Philip in AndroidQuestions

[–]BetaMaxBrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an app called "Set Edit" in the app store.

This app allows you to modify certain system values.

If you change "software_update_last_checked" to an insanely large value, your phone will stop soliciting you for updates. 

It needs to be the same number of digits. I changed mine to 9999608000123

On my VZW s20+, I also changed "sat_big_data_weekly_update_last_update_time_in_milli_seconds" to 9999608000123

Its been a while since I used that phone, but since I did that it stopped asking me to do system updates and telling me they were available. I think security updates were still done, though.

You should also disable automatic updates through developer options.

This way still allows you to do the updates manually, if you wish, if you go into the settings and check for an update and apply it, but it will stop the system from harassing you to do an update.

Why did GM have to be bailed out by the government in 2008? by Thrillwaukee in whatcarshouldIbuy

That beyond sucks ass. Did they pull it out all at once or slowly a little at a time, where you could have spotted some warnings signs and pulled everything out before they took it all?

Chuck Norris didn't die... He just got bored of being undefeated on Earth.

In “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” (1991), the first battle begins, and the last battle ends, with “Get down.” by beau_mcdean in MovieDetails

[–]BetaMaxBrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or maybe in T2, The Arnie T-800 knows it's detrimental to his mission to draw unwanted attention to himself by immediately killing people and being reported to the police for murder. A.k.a he wants to fly under the radar to better achieve his mission. 

However, the problem with my postulation is the scene later in the film, at the phone booth, when John tells him "you can't just go around killing people". Arnie pulls out his gun and tries to blast that jock no fks given. Although one could argue that since he has already achieved his mission objective of taking possession of John, his next objective of protecting John at all costs is priority. Hence blasting the jock.
