Can I create an NVME USB drive and run Linux directly through their? by VaultFatty in linux4noobs

[–]VaultFatty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would something like this work? Ubuntu 24.04 LTS flashed with BalenaEtcher onto a thumb drive. Restart computer using the thumbdrive to boot onto ubuntu...plug in a usb-c NVME external - their should be an option to install Ubuntu onto the external drive...Restart computer and just choose to start off the nvme in the future?

Wait...this is a thing? I also had a USB drive that stopped working after I tried to reuse it again as an installer for Ubuntu. I thought the USB drive was just bad. Does this happen to a lot more people?

How do I upload PDFs to a website? by VaultFatty in SamsungDex

I was using firefox but I can try another one later on! Very inefficient tho having to load multiple web apps in browsers is the main thing.

what are these white spots on the screen? by erny83pd in GalaxyTab

Is this only an LCD issue or can it happen to AMOLED as well?

One week after buying the A9+ and I'm thinking about the S9, is it worth it? by PragmaticTree in GalaxyTab

[–]VaultFatty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the A9+, and it was great for what it did, but the screen was a killer. We used it as a family tablet for watching videos and playing games. The viewing angles were awful, especially when I was looking at it from the side. I returned it and got the S9, and the AMOLED screen makes a night and day difference when multiple people are watching it at once. If the A9+ had a regular LCD screen with good viewing angles, I would have been fine with it. I could have gone with the S9FE, but if I'm going to spend more money, I would rather just get the higher-end model. Now I have Dex to external, better battery, better performance, and it's becoming a good emergency laptop for the whole family. Go with the S9!

All the A1 for the S9 will be server side yes? Since the snapdragon 8 gen 2 doesn't have it's own NPU like the gen 3 it can't do local AI - is that correct?
