Hey there, Android community! I've been facing a rather perplexing issue with my website lately, and I'm hoping some of you tech-savvy folks can help me out. So, I run a medical billing services website, and it seems like there's a hiccup somewhere in the system.

Here's the deal: when users visit my site on their Android devices, they've reported some weird behavior. It's not consistent, but occasionally they encounter slow page loading times and difficulties accessing certain features, particularly during peak traffic hours. This doesn't seem to be a widespread problem, and our desktop users don't appear to be affected.

I've checked my hosting, run speed tests, and tried different browsers, but the problem persists sporadically. I'm not sure if it's a compatibility issue, a server problem, or something else entirely.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue with their website on Android? If so, how did you resolve it? I'd appreciate any insights or advice you can offer.

Feel free to ask for more information about my website, and I'll be happy to provide additional details. Thanks in advance for your help!

Until the mid Oct. update my S20FE ran like a top. Now it is slow to load and sometimes glitchy.
I have used Podbean for listening to podcasts for years. Now when I bring up that app or any other podcast app, they take forever to bring up my options and when I select a particular podcast, it still takes time to load that particular episode. If I decide to switch to a different podcast in my favorites list it starts all over. Pre-update everything flowed smoothly with no waiting for anything to load. Suggestions?

If you thought the iPhone 15 Event was Apple’s last big announcement of 2023, you’d be wrong: there’s one more thing.

Apple is gearing up to unveil its latest innovations at a unique nighttime virtual event, “Scary Fast,” set for October 30th at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET. In an unusual move, the tech giant has opted for its first night event, this time in a completely virtual format.

Speculation surrounds the release of new Mac models, with strong indications pointing towards updated iMacs and MacBook Pros. The “Scary Fast” tagline has fueled discussion regarding significant hardware upgrades, potentially the highly anticipated M3 chip. This would represent a diversion from Apple’s traditional six-month chip cycle.

What you need to know:

Expected focus on new Macs.
Possible unveiling of the next-generation M3 chip.
Rumored 24-inch iMac refresh and new MacBook Pros.
There’s a possibility of a break from the traditional six-month chip cycle if the M3 chip is introduced.
100% Virtual (no in-person component)

You can watch the “Scary Fast” event here on Apple’s website, where it’s likely that Mac enthusiasts will be treated, but you never know… perhaps we’ll all get tricked!

This has happened before on an auto-update of Samsung Smart Switch: I am prompted for the update, and when the update is done, Smart Switch comes up prompting me to transfer data from one phone to another. But that is not why I use Smart Switch; I use it for the sole purpose of synchronizing Outlook contacts and calendar.

Now, as soon as I open Smart Switch on my Galaxy, it comes up with "Transfer your data" & "what should your phone do?", but the only two options are Send data and Receive data, and when I select Receive data, it asks me what my old device is: Galaxy or iPhone/iPad.

I have fought this before, and if I remove SmartSwitch and reinstall, then I am stuck manually removing all those leftover contacts & calendar items from the Galaxy before I next sync with SmartSwithc, because it is not that good at duplicate-avoidance.

The only other option is Backup/Restore, and the menu brings up only Transfer result and Settings. And Settings provides no way to configure for Outlook sync. And when I open Smart Switch on my PC, I get a message that I need to update the Smart Switch app on the connected device.

ICYMI, I am no longer accessing my AF to my comp, but yest erday I got it snickered in with the op key on here logged in, as long as I do not clear out the cache, my comp's screen will linger on the first blue screen for about twenty minutes, did a CClean up, as well as sfc and Image online health thing too.. So My biggest question is how to speed it up when it is extremely slow, so my apps will not run mostly and it takes a simple right click about ten minutes to pop up..
I am here just wondering what gives..

I'm excited about the power of AI tools like ChatGPT, OpenAI, and Midjourney, but equally concerned about how that power will be used in the wrong hands. At the most basic level, scammers, spammers, and fraudsters are already using it to create bots that are nearly indistinguishable from humans.

On Android Forums, I've noticed it more and more on threads like this (note @ocnbrze quoting "Fatima Ansari") where AI "members" build up a message history that they then exploit with spam links. As the AI bots get smarter, moderating will become harder, and the schemes more nefarious. Even more importantly, the proliferation of AI bots threatens the entire purpose of our community: to foster authentic and meaningful conversations.

As we look to expand our brand with a relaunch, many things will soon change. Among them, I'm strongly considering removing or restricting the "free membership" option. Here's how it would work:

All current members grandfathered into 100% Free Accounts for life.
All current VIP grandfathered into 100% Free VIP for life.
Future members required to pay a minimal monthly fee (ex: $2/month)

This would reward our loyal members, eliminate 99.9% of spam, and create a new revenue stream that could be reinvested into the site. We would welcome back existing members to "claim" their account via email blast that shares all the big changes.

I'm sharing this well in advance to gauge interest and hear your opinions: it's just an idea and not final. We could also try maintaining a free area but I think this is more likely to cause confusion and chaos than a small simple monthly fee.

Although this would likely have a negative impact in the short-term, I think it may prove wise in the long haul.

I'm tentatively planning to "flip the switch" on Black Friday (Nov 24th) but we would continue allowing new free memberships through January 1st, 2024 (with the paid model going into effect on January 2nd, 2024).

If you’ve got your eye on the Samsung Galaxy S24, set to launch in early 2024, you won’t have to wait until the calendar flips to start narrowing down your decision. We’re already hearing rumors swirl about is specs and feature, now including what Galaxy S24 Colors will be available.

The Galaxy S24 Colors will be Black, Grey, Violet, Yellow, Orange, Light Blue, and Light Green. However, availability of these colors will vary:

S24 Retail Colors: Black, Grey Violet, Yellow
S24 Online Colors: Orange, Light Blue, Light Green

Most people are expecting the Galaxy S24 to be very similar in design and build to its predecessor (the Galaxy S23). One big key (expected) difference? The chipset: rumor has it that Samsung will be bringing back its proprietary Exynos chips in some markets, whereas the S23 was powered exclusively by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon brand.

Wife and I were coming back from Tennessee and we stopped at a popular Bar & Grill for something to eat. Wife ordered Potato Skins, I ordered Chicken Wings and two Pepsi. The Bill came to something like $35.. The bar was very busy and crowded. At our table it had a sign that said pay your bill by scanning the QR on your bill. So I scanned the QR code and paid the bill, It popped up that I had paid and said a email would be sent.

Here is where I made a mistake. I left the waitress a $5 tip and wrapped the Bill around the $5, and we left.

I never got an email like the QR code said.

The next day the payment at the bar shows up as $71.06

I have accounting at the bar looking into it. I think the difference between what the bill actually was ($35) and the amount charged $71.06 was taken out and pocketed in cash. If I don't get a satisfactory answer from accounting I will refer this to the local Police.

LG welcomes you to step into a world that challenges the boundaries of digital creativity, exploring remarkable possibilities with the fusion of art and technology. The company illustrates a commitment to inspire audiences to reconsider established artistic expressions and actively supports artists in unlocking their creative potential with the evolution of digital art.

LG proudly marked its return to the Digital Art Fair (DAF) as an Exclusive Screen Partner for the second consecutive year. Held in Hong Kong from October 20 to 23, LG OLED illuminated the realm of digital creativity at the event, captivating the art world with innovative technologies. LG’s unique LG Diversity of Art exhibition zone presented a range of digital artworks to encourage attendees to reimagine the boundaries between digital art and the real world with the integration of art into everyday life.

At DAF, LG unveiled the OLED SIGNATURE M3, the world’s first wireless OLED TV1, for a stunning debut in Hong Kong. Notably, LG left a remarkable impression with this cutting-edge wireless OLED TV by showcasing “14-III-72 #223,” a renowned painting by Korean master of abstract art, Kim Whanki, brilliantly reimagined through digital expression. Following its initial appearance with the M3 in Freize Seoul, LG’s presentation of this digitally expressed masterpiece at DAF in Hong Kong served as a source of inspiration for both artists and art enthusiasts. The wireless 97-inch OLED TV faithfully portrays the vibrant details of the thousands of red dots that make this piece so special, elevating the immersive experience for art enthusiasts with advanced wireless video transmission and a massive screen.

The 97-inch OLED M3 boasts self-lit OLED technology that provides unrivaled picture quality on an ultra-large screen and Zero Connect technology that allows instant audio and video transmission at up to 4K 120Hz., for a distance of up to 10 meters2 between itself and the screen. This cutting-edge innovation enhances the freedom and flexibility of the audiovisual experience, providing a super-smooth and immersive viewing experience.

Furthermore, as an Exclusive Screen Partner, LG provided around a hundred LG OLED units to showcase a diverse collection of digital art pieces at the event. Visitors were engaged in a world of vivid and dynamic digital art created by popular artists, including Refik Anadol and Yang Yongliang.

Another highlight at DAF, LG presented unique media art pieces with the LG MAGNIT 136-inch Micro LED display in collaboration with LED.ART, a renowned media art content platform, leaving visitors in awe of the vibrant colors and unparalleled quality. Immersive visual effects and ultra-fine details were powered by Micro LED display technology, with LG MAGNIT display’s accurate color purity and wide viewing angle bringing the art to life. This partnership highlights LG’s commitment to actively participating in art events and signifies a new chapter in LG’s technological advancements in the realm of art.

LG also introduced the LG PuriCare

AeroFurniture Bored Ape Edition, featuring four bored ape avatars from the renowned NFT collection owned by Francesco Lee (aka DAC4Academy). Merging digital art with the versatility of home appliances, this unique collaboration offers a multifunctional art appliance, underscoring a compelling connection between digital art and household products.

LG PuriCare

AeroFurniture Bored Ape Edition will be launched as a limited edition with only 100 pieces. The four different designs will inspire customers who pursue interior design with new ways to express personal taste, redefining the possibilities between digital art and the real.

LG continues to deliver enriching art experiences, exploring the close connection between art and technology through inspiring exhibitions and compelling collaborations. Stay tuned to the LG Newsroom for the latest updates and stories.

"I'm gonna use the perfect amount of thermal paste" proceeds to edit part of video out or move camera
--Tronicsfix

"oops, gonna need to put thermal paste on that [moves camera where the user can't see the process]"
--Adrian's Digital Basement.

The term "the perfect amount of thermal paste" line is also used across the board, always hiding/censoring or making a joke about people seeing the process each time. Is there a joke/meme I'm missing or what? I don't understand. What if I am interested in building a PC and would like to see the process? I hate being out of the loop here.

My friend subscribed to this recently. It has no sound despite my checking audio and rebooting. Now he wants to screen cast to his Panasonic plasma tv. It's a TH-42PZ85U. I have no idea how old it is. When I tried screencast it showed a bunch of tvs to send to, but I'm pretty sure his is not on the list. Also, I went to a website with my phone, the Pure, only to find I had no Internet connection. I don't know why because it's the same thing I've been using for quite a while. It says the signal strength is excellent but it doesn't connect.

I have my mother her phone here. It's a Nokia 5.4 with Android one. It's stuck on the Nokia logo. When I press volume up and start button I get the little Adroid guy and a no command text. When I press volume down and start button I get the options power off, Start, restart bootloader, recovery mode. Non of those help anything.
The bootloader and baseband version are empty. Not sure how to go from here. I would think trying a hard reset and use some software to atleast get (some) of her pictures bak was the easiest thing to do however there is no factory reset option. I hope someone can help me. She is 88 and eventhough she doesnt really understand her phone, she likes to play a game and take pictures on it.

Hey everyone, just encountered an issue right on the cusp of releasing a game. When I try to upload my game to the playstore, it comes up with the error "We've detected that this app is using an unsupported version of Play billing. Please upgrade to Billing Library 5 or newer to release this app.". By default Unreal 5.0 has version 3, my game doesn't include any form of transactions and I'm unclear if I can circumvent this step if I find out how to turn off microtransactions in engine. I've looked through all I could find related to this error but unfortunately nothing has worked so far. If anyone has experience with how to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for reading

We all have those brain fart moments and as I get older they seem more frequent. I thought it would be fun to share those brain farts to lessen that "I can't believe I did that" feeling. Don't leave me hangin' here... share yours.

I'll start. The other day I was working on a mower. When I went to replace the screws I had removed, I couldn't find my screwdriver. I just had it.... I retraced all of my steps looking for it. It was just gone. I finally gave up and went to the shed to get another screwdriver. After I finished replacing the screws I put the screwdriver in my back pocket. It was at that moment that I found the missing screwdriver.. it was also in my back pocket.

A bonus brain fart while I'm talking about mowers. I mow commercially and haul my mowers in a traditional mowing trailer with a drop down ramp in the rear. A number of years ago I was mowing the deep well pump stations for the city. They are all located out in the country. I finished my last station and headed back into town driving over three miles at 55mph when I realized I had not put the ramp up. It's a wonder I didn't catch the countryside on fire with all of the sparks I had to be leaving behind me dragging that ramp.
