My Samsung plus Note 9 is dieing, sadly he is currently on what they call phone hospice. He is barely operating. It was a great run and he was put through some hell but my note 9 is leaving us.

He survived a drop off a 2 story building, fell into a pool and was once locked all alone in my office overnight.  It never complained. Sadly he fell into a toilet and it cracked his brain. We will pull the plug on Tuesday or the Sim card.

Samsung makes a great phone but...

 

T-Mobile has a great deal on the flip phone Razor23 plus for only $500.00. The screen is 6.9 inches and the reviews have been pretty solid. 

I can't remember not owning a Samsung phone. The phone wil be here Tuesday. Anyone have a Motorola?

Sorry for your loss, but I wound not recommend any flip smart phone. My mom had one, a Samsung Galaxy flip, actually had 3 of them in a span of 2 years because the screens just can't take the bendy toll. She finally went to back to a normal smartphone after the 3rd time that the replacement they sent her failed after only 7 months. The tech is just not there yet, imho.

Yeah, I don't see those bending screens holding up well over time. I worked for Motorola for several years right when they were getting him the smartphone game. Left shortly after they sold to Google knowing Google had no long-term plans on hardware. They wanted Motorola for the patent trove. Motorola is owned by Lenovo (China) now.

Personally, I've been using Google Pixel phones flashed with Graphene for years to get away from as much of the spyware as possible.

Well the flip phone didn't last long. I enjoyed it for 2 minutes. During the initial launch it overheated and shutdown numerous times. We had to hard reset it but it would only stay on for 30 seconds. I'm sending it back and now they're out of stock. So no new phone for me.

 

In lieu of flowers the family (me) is asking for cold hard cash.

I think Samsung makes the best of the folding phones, but for me, the screen just wasn't it.

I have no problem with the slab of phone now a days.  I don't see a great benefit to me of a folding device.  Cool, but the tech just isn't there.

May the Gods of Mobile Data give you good coverage in your future 😃

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
