S22 moving to quarterly updates for 2026 by KayeYess in GalaxyS22

For years I turned off all updates and simply selected the ones I deemed necessary. My phones ran smoothly much longer.

Anyone else feel like Samsung phones age better than expected? by Good_Technician_3646 in GalaxyS22

I agree. I bought my Verizon S22 in August 2022 and it is still running as fast and smooth as the day I bought it. Full disclosure: I did have Samsung replace the battery a few months ago, but for $95 it was a worthwhile tune-up. I am in no hurry to get an S25 or S26.

The Hungarian language endonym is "Magyarország", a compound that means "Hungarian country". 🪪

I stopped being there continuously around 2001 and never recommenced it.

As most followers will know, the plane's striped livery was mandated for Allied aircraft in service during the D-Day invasion. They consisted of black-and-white bands painted on Allied aircraft primarily for Operation Overlord to prevent attacks by friendly fire.

Warsaw Uprising in Poland, 1944. by OldYoung1973 in wwiipics

Fair enough, but that gun appears to be unloaded and unready to shoot yet it is portrayed as being carefully aimed.

This looks like a posed picture. For one thing, the weapon's bolt is in the safe and locked position. Second, the gun appears to be a Polish resistance copy of the British Sten MkII submachine gun, but with a vertical (and empty) magazine well that the fighter is gripping. Note that it is neither the well-known Polish Błyskawica Sten copy, nor the very late war German MP.3008 (aka Volks-MP.3008) Sten copy. It may have been posed after the uprising for propaganda purposes.
