    moto g stylus 5g 2023 battery issues

    You can look in developer options and check Running services to se what is running so hard. You can also go into Battery via Settings and see what is using so much power. Depending upon what you find in those places will dictate how you deal with it.

    Help How safe are Uptodown and ApkPure?

    Personally, I agree with his views. There is nothing new. Virtually everything that is considered 'new' has been done before. Some 'kid' comes along and thinks he has made something better by making it out of plastic instead of steel, or overcomplicates something simple and thinks that is an...

    E-Bikes

    There are some for sale seasonally at some of the local car dealorships. The ones there are no joke, costing thousands of dollars. They are about as fast as a small moped, can be pedaled, and would be great for a short commute if it were not for all the dumbass pick-up 'trucks' around here.

    InviZible Pro

    As a follow up, I have been continuously used InviZible Pro on my carry device. It is great. I really only use the firewall, DNSCRYPT, and Purple I2P. My other devices are all using NoRoot Firewall.

    Help NoRoot Firewall

    Actually, it seems that these type apps can block internet for system apps so long as certain changes are made in the devices VPN settings- such as "block all connections without VPN" or the like.

    Video editor apps

    Personally I love YouCut. The free version has plenty of options, the UI is friendly, and it has no watermark on the finished product. There is a bit of a learning curve that I would be glad to help with. In addition, the only ads with the app come just before you give the go ahead to save the...

    Phone Snobbery?

    I remember doing it every morning. I also remember what things were like then as opposed to how they are now. Now, my family has no pride of nation - much like the people that are running our nation into the ground. My father wants to bitch about the prices of everything, and I get to give a...

    de-Googled phones

    I would love a one handed phone, but my hands are small and my vision sucks so bad that i wouldnt be able to read the screen. And remember when phones were so small that we lost them constantly?

    Pop-up, ultra-annoying, video ads?

    I use Midori browser with the built in ad-block. I set the home page to my link for AF, and allow cookies. No ads, no logging in.

    de-Googled phones

    I can understand the size of a device being an issue. I gave up putting a phone in my pants pocket long ago. I use a case from Nite-Ize and put my phone in my jacket pocket. Summer time, I use the belt clip. It works with or without a belt.

    WHY?!?

    She is very hard to get along with. Example: handrail exists. handrail gets painted white. complaints about fingerprints on handrail. smart remarks about how sometimes the name of something might give a clue as to what color something shouldnt be, and that fingerprints are likely to be on...

    WHY?!?

    I too prefer tangible media, but the media wears out over time and takes up space. Not to mention that the vast majority of the various DVD players and VCRs that were produced toward the end of their reign were absolute junk. The first DVD player I had lasted for years. I clearly remember the...

    WHY?!?

    OK, I said that I would give up more information after I had the internet sevice for a while. I have to eat some crow here, because I cannot believe which carrier I am using at my mom's house- T-Mobile. Yes, I know. I have bitched and moaned about how their service sucks where I live, and it...
