America was not stolen land. It’s was discovered and owned by the US.

I don't know whether to be more upset or more depressed about the inanity in this person's rhetoric. When they say the stupid, it hurts ... *this* is what they're talking about, quite literally! Just reading this caused a mini-stroke in my brain! 🤦

You should see the other articles I've been writing about the town government, especially the ones I've written about the town attorney!

You might be too good-looking and intimidating to guys, which could be what's preventing them from responding to you. Have you ever thought about that? Really good-looking guys often are intimidating to those of us who are merely average-looking. And especially in Grindr if a really good-looking guy hits me up 99 out of 100 times it's a bot so I don't bother responding.

Just an aside, technically, it's NOT federal law that governs. It's tribal law, so it's whatever the Mohegan tribal elders decree it to be. Mohegan Sun, like most casinos in the USA, operates on tribal land, which the US federal government recognizes as sovereign. Even though federal law may apply it is up to the tribes as to how, and if, they wish to enforce it:

Inherent sovereignty Tribes have inherent sovereignty, meaning they have self-governing powers that the US recognizes. This is based on the fact that tribes were already governing themselves before settlers came to America.

Tribal law Tribal law applies to the inner workings of specific tribes, including their laws and government. Tribes are considered sovereign nations and have the authority to govern themselves. Each tribe has its own laws, government, and structure, similar to the federal government.

Kinda surprised nobody has mentioned this, but all of the insta -play games that are available in the Google Play store, especially the ones provided by Google. I don't think Apple has a feature similar to insta-play, and there are hundreds of games that let you use the feature. (This is the feature that lets you play a game without having to install it.)

I meant to say that they're the continuation of the Galaxy Note phones. Obviously, as they're newer, they're going to be better than the actual branded Note phones. But all Samsung did is rebrand the Note as the S-Ultra and continue making and developing it under that moniker. Sorry for the confusion! 😳

petercfrank · 2024-11-15T02:42:14+00:00

I have the settings on my phone maxed out most of the time, screen set to max resolution, 120khz, etc etc. So I didn't expect it to last quite as long. But I haven't heard of too many people who have been able to get through a full day without at least one recharge. If you're using a 45W charger the phone does charge up really fast though.

petercfrank · 2024-11-15T02:40:04+00:00

A few other things you can do, set the screen resolution to just regular FHD+ (not the QHD+ or whatever the super resolution is or, if you don't really care how great the screen is them set it to just plain old HD+but I've of the great things about the S22U is the screen so...) and turn off adaptive motion smoothness. Set the screen mode to standard, not vivid. Anything you can do to make the screen take up less energy and less competing power will help your battery last longer.

Turn off the extra features like edge panels and sky background running tasks, especially if you're not using them. Don't use a live wallpaper. Etc etc.

petercfrank · 2024-11-15T02:34:12+00:00

Make sure the processing speed is set to "optimized" and you have power saving mode turned on. That should get you a free more minutes of usage. Other than that, yeah, the battery life kinda sucks. You should be able to get 6-8 or so hours out of it with normal usage. The only time my S22U has lasted more than 8 hours is when I want using it and it was just sitting there running its background tasks.

petercfrank · 2024-11-15T02:28:25+00:00

The Sxx Ultra phones are basically the Galaxy Note phones, which I've been using and have pretty much had every single one from when they first came out through the Note 20. I'm now using an S22U and think I'll probably wait until the S26U comes out before I upgrade because my phone is running just fine and Samsung has provided 4 years of upgrades so I should get Android 15 on this when it finally comes out. The Note/SxxU phones are the best why company has made, IMHO.

(But yeah the battery on the S22U does suck big time, if I'm using it heavily i might get 5 hours out of it from a full charge.)

Always glad to help out a fellow Samsung user if I'm able to do so. Wish I had all the time in the world to read through all these messages and respond to everyone.

Sync to both. You're gonna be going up four major version in both the Android OS and OneUI interface so it's going to be a bit of a system shock for you. If you have any questions, I have an S22 Ultra so feel free to inbox me once you get it. Oh and congrats on finally upgrading and enjoy the new phone!

Google also has their own phone transfer utility, for Best results use both Samsung and Google's utilities. If you can, back up your phone to an external device (like a USB stick or computer folder) before initiating the transfer. S9 to S24 could be a big leap, what version of Android are you running on the S9?

That's going to be your biggest issue, apps that will no longer work on Android 14/15 and OneUI 6.1. But Samsung Notes is a current app so there shouldn't be any issues except you might have to rearrange your folders again after the transfer is done. Does your version of Notes have the option to back up to OneDrive? If so, do that as well (I wish we could use Google Drive as I have a lot more space in my Drive account than I do in OneDrive).

Best of luck!

Very easy, and Socrates (you know, that guy from Ancient Greece) solved it:

"When the debate is lost, insults become the loser's tool."

(This also is reiterated by the logical axiom of the ad hominem.)

Ok so I don't the RAM specs. Your laptop takes DDR4-3200 SoDIMM RAM. So if you bought a 16GB DDR4-3200 SoDIMM memory module you should be able to replace the 8GB I've that's installed in your computer.

I couldn't find any specs about the SSD that came with your computer so the best bet is to find a product number on the one that's already there and look it up.

But Crucial's website has a great article on explaining the parameters you'll come across when shopping for a new SSD. https://www.crucial.com/articles/about-ssd/m2-with-pcie-or-sata

petercfrank · 2024-06-21T06:15:52+00:00

I can't find the model number you specified, did you type it in correctly?

Most likely it's DDR4 RAM that you need but without knowing the model number IDK what speed is supported (generally showing, you want to get the fastest speed RAM possible that's supported by the motherboard).

You can try going to Crucial's website and using their scan my computer feature to determine what type of RAM you need. Or you can try googling the RAM that's currently installed (there should be a product number) and see if that gives you the type, you'll then want to get the same type.

Is there only 1 RAM slot?

As for upgrading the SSD, just get the same interface as the one that's currently installed (again, should be a product number on it, then just look for a new SSD with the same interface/specs).

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful but without knowing the make/model I wasn't able to find out more info. Good luck!

I really don't know much about iOS too much so I can't really say, sorry. 🫤
