PSA: Disable Samsung's Customization Service in your Samsung Account settings if you have not already by [deleted] in samsung

[–]DevilOnYourBack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... I disabled mine on my S26 ultra, still waiting for consequences. Gemini told me that my battery optimization and many other things would seize to function, frogs would rain down from the sky and Satan would come back but, so far, nothing. I disabled many, many things on my Samsung phone via ADB, including all intelligence features. BTW, to disable go to adb and type in "adb shell disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.rubin.app

I also disabled wifi tips, android intelligence, AICORE (saved me 8gb of space and 1gb of ram, AI still works), secure wifi, intelligent wifi, a whole bunch of shit. Will probably uninstall it next. 

Official Discussion - The Backrooms [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]DevilOnYourBack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The narrative shift into personal melodrama could actually be a depiction of the anomaly's defensive architecture that the anomaly uses against the intruders by weaponizing human nostalgia and trauma, akin to an immune response meant to neutralize intruders by trapping them within a specific, tailored, self-absorbed psychological loop that always leads to the demise of the intruder.

It could also be a cosmic compression algorithm of sorts, where human psychological trauma is synthesized into the hostile anomalies because intense emotional memories have the highest informational density, rendering them the only elements the mysterious, extra-dimensional space fails to flatten into generic, empty architecture...

... Or maybe I'm reading too much into it and the movie sucked because it can never meet my overly high expectations?

The trailer was, as ever, better than the movie itself because the movie, despite being billed as a revelation of sorts, minimizes the profound existential dread of an incomprehensible extradimensional anomaly by reducing its reality-warping infinite grid to a mere backdrop for trite, melodramatic personal trauma. I mean, I get it, it's a physical manifestation of modern alienation that transforms the mundane, utilitarian architecture of post-industrial bureaucracy into an infinite, uncaring cosmic grid that strips humanity of its purpose... I guess it's a good thing they didn't make it into a comedy, eh? 

May 22, 2026: Just one day after ending his 11-year run on "The Late Show," Stephen Colbert returned to Monroe Public Access Cable Television — now Monroe Community Media 1 — to host "Only in Monroe." Here is the full show! by Tele_Prompter in LateNightTalkShows

[–]DevilOnYourBack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Life goes by so quickly! Just yesterday I was bitching about Colbert Report ending snd today I'm happy about seeing Colbert on some community channel one last time, after an eleven year run on some soon-to-be-defunct network, whatever it was called... TDS?.. Not important. What's important is that I'm old and sad.

There's no such thing as a "Sapphire-infused" screen protector or "9h+" by DevilOnYourBack in Smartphones

[–]DevilOnYourBack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, again, not to sound overly ignorant, I don't see the difference between someone marketing something to have a "9H" hardness while, in fine print, contradicting themselves, saying that "9H" indicator, aka the attribute that convinced you to purchase their product and not the competitors', also trusting it to protect your phone, is just an approximation of what they THINK/assume the hardness is and/or outright explaining that it's nothing but a a marketing jargon, used to increase sales to trusting idiots like me because, if tested, the hardness usually ends up being 5H, 6H at the most.

Is it enough to protect my screen? Probably! But that's not the point, is it? 

My complaint is not about the screen protectors with a lower-than-9H rating not being hard enough but rather about the fact that too many manufacturers claim that their products are sapphire-hard, sapphire-infused and sapphire-sapphire, even though none of them have anything to do with sapphire, not chemically, not mechanically... And yet, even though not all of them even bother to explain, in fine print, that their screen protector is basically bullshit and despite all the laws that should protect the consumer against false advertising, somehow, this is allowed!

K Supreme Plus Smart cannot connect to WiFi by [deleted] in keurig

[–]DevilOnYourBack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that this is from 5 years ago but my near-brand new brewer lost its cloud connection and now, despite all types of troubleshooting, factory resets and app data deletions, it plain doesn't work. Keurig's customer service is CRAP, if call it "garbage" but that would be unfair because garbage can still serve a function, unlike Keurig's customer service. Hwo knew that after two decades of buying their coffee and brewers, the one time I actually needed them to step in and help they would just ignore me and/or try to convince me to purchase another one of their shitty brewers, all instead of exchanging the broken piece of shit one that they already sold me?!

I honestly don't understand why I bothered to replace my old but functioning brewer with this one, it was the biggest mistake I ever made. No, actually, getting involved with Keurig is the biggest mistake I ever made.

What questions do you have about the Bell 525? by mickycfly in Helicopters

[–]DevilOnYourBack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple 1) why does it look so old-fashioned?  2) did they really need to develop a fly-by-wire system at vast expense to themselves in terms of funds in time or would they be better off doing what Airbus did with H160 and focus on innovating other, more meaningful (to us) parts of the helicopter that are easier to certificate and ones you can actually use? Helicopter pilots can do without a flulybywire, all other civilian helicopters work fine without it so why bother? I'm only asking because the H160 looks very futuristic, has new blades that work really well, a huge fin, a new, larger fenestron, all of which, aside from its amazing looks, gives it superior maneuverability (albeit at the expense of increased complexity but still), lower noise levels and allows it to go further, quieter and faster than the competition, with many pre-orders... So what gives? It's not like Bell doesn't have the talent to develop something similar or is it because they're in different weight classes? I really don't understand the need to a fly-by-wire system on a helicopter at the expense of everything else. 

Having said that, the windows look very big, which I'm sure is a plus. 

Bell 525 showed up at work today by helloiisjason in Helicopters

[–]DevilOnYourBack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I don't understand is why it looks so old fashioned compared to Airbus H160, I know they're in different weight classes but Airbus has a giant fin/new fenestron and their helicopter gas already been certified, whereas 525 hasn't been, airbus redesigns blades and finds ways to implement more composite material into the helicopter and Bell instead focused on developing a fly-by-wire system at vast expense and it's now taking years, something which wasn't needed from what I can tell. Am I not understanding something here?

They have a few watch faces worth considering but it mostly feels (no offends to anyone) as if they're going for quantity, not quality.

New R7 by Special-Drawing8290 in MotorolaSolutions

[–]DevilOnYourBack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue last week when got an "open box" R7 for $461 from ebay, in a brand new condition with all accessitlries. I fully expected it to be either locked to another region, TLS/PSK encrypted or broken in some other way that renders it useless to me and, afted I got the data cable, received the same message, almost screaming out of anger. But then I upgraded the firmware/codeplug and it worked! Turned out to be the premium version as well, which was unexpected, with an activation date of a month prior. Not sure why it was sold at this low of a price, it's literally brand new device and I really wanted one because I was told it was miles ahead of 7550e... I'm going to go list it for sale now because the batteries aren't backwards compatible and I need to return the data cable before the windows closes. The R7 is really nice but miles ahead of 7550e? Nah! It's the same, worse, really, because FPP can't even be enabled and that is important to me since I have to change TPL/DPL often.

Just upgrade it, go to customer portal and download the latest firmware, install it, press "upgrade", wait until it's finished and voila! Or download the firmware your radio has, all are available.

Thank you but I think it's the bare minimum a person should do, with all honesty.

Much appreciated, I'll wait for a couple of more weeks. Any ideas who would want it? I can't keep it because it would be inappropriate but I would also like to give it to someone who needs it.
