  1. I don't know what to tell you then.  I don't have any kind of Samsung account, I never had to sign in.  Yet I was able to turn off Bixby with zero issues.
    Before he lost his phone I had remapped Bixby on his previous phone 1 at. This new phone wouldn't even let me do anything with Bixby until I signed in with a Samsung account. I tried the same app but it wanted to login to the Samsung account so it seems that Samsung had updated it to make it more difficult. That's my frustration. Companies making it increasingly difficult to ignore their increasingly invasive decisions.

    It's why I hated Apple and what I loved about Android. Sucks to see that happen. I've owned several Samsung phones but I'll never get one with Bixby that requires me to have a Samsung account. Same thing with removing the headphone jack.



  2. It looks like the “last unread” works fine on threads I’ve clicked on before, but if it’s a thread I haven’t clicked on before, it goes to the last post or a random post in the middle of the thread. Weird.
    This is exactly the issue I'm having. Tried changing settings and logging out of and back into tapas, but no worky.

    Small issue that I'm sure will work itself out eventually.

  3. Seems like an issue for a lot of people.  I am not having it, but maybe try changing it to another setting, then restarting app.  Then change it back to "first unread" and see what happens.
     
     
    I wasn't having this issue initially but it had started in the last day.

  4. How does one make the jump from “I don’t know what I saw” to “I know exactly what I saw and I’m positive it was an alien space craft”?

    Who made that jump?

    Calm down.  You don't have to download anything.  Press Bixby button.  When bixby opens click on settings.  Disable Bixby button.  It should take no more than 15 seconds of your life.

    I did that and it wanted me to sign in before I could go any further. The guy doesn't have a samsung account.

  6. Easier to navigate, easier to read, it's faster to switch between threads, and easier to upload pictures directly.
    I'd add that instead of trying to click on a tiny little circle to go to the last read you can change the default settings to go to the last read on any thread you open.

  7. Can someone please give your resident surly Luddite the Cliffs notes version of why Tapatalk is so good? I'll hang up my rotary phone and listen.

  8. And that's garbage that you have to download a third party app to disable an intrusive option that can't be disabled without signing up for an account. Just my opinion.  People certainly shouldn't have to pay to extra to remove it.


    I previously loaded a remapping app on his phone before he lost his phone. Tried to do it again and one required a Samsung login and the other seemed like the phone needed to be rooted. That being said I didn't spend any time on it and I shouldn't have to. It's a bullshit way to force people to use their shitty service.

    Have to buy the dev a cup of coffee to remap while locked, but pretty easy.  There are others, also.

  9. I couldn't figure out how to get to the settings without signing up for a Samsung account which is fucking bullshit if that's actually the case. But if wasn't my phone and I spent 5 minutes messing with it while trying to eat dinner. If it's easy I'll pass along the instructions to my friend who is technology challenged. Thanks for the info.

  10. PP is crazy these days and don't lose much value. Even if it loses 25% over 3 years that's still 30k which is a cost of $3,300/year. $275/month.

    And there's the chance it goes up in value or doesn't lose value.

  11. Bixby is a complete horseshit move by Samsung. Fucking dedicated button that is difficult to re-map. I'd take an iPhong over a Samsung with a dedicated bixby button.

    My LG has been alright but reception is terrible. Of course that is also due to AT&T being an absolute suck compared to Verizon. I do like the Quad DAC for listening with headphones.

    I don't think Google owns Motorola anymore.

    Fuck any company that removes the headphone jack.

    The more engagement and exposure to differing views and opinions the better in my opinion.

    However, there are a few things that should not be tolerated in civil society; like racism, sexism, xenophobia, and ageism.

    So why not let these people speak so they can be easily identified? Letting them speak doesn't indicate tolerance. In fact, I'd say its an opportunity to show the people being spoken against that more people are with them than against them.

  13. watchrecon is a good way to search through a lot of different websites. Just search for your watch on it and see what prices are listed. Keep in mind those likely aren't what the final sales price is/was.

    Look--I know we've been wandering in the CFB wilderness for a while, now, but we could've easily won 9-10 last season (e.g., if we'd played Maryland after a "tune up" game; the Okie State third and goal OT debacle; the USC OT goal line fumble; Jones blowing coverage on Anderson's wheel route in the OU game; our dumpster fire of a fourth quarter against Tech; etc.).  And every single one of those teams should be significantly worse this year than they were last year.

    9-10 isn't super unreasonable.  Neither is errbody.

    I go into every season and game with the expectation of winning everything. Realistically though we're going to have some bumps in the road, but 9-10 is definitely achievable and the recruiting momentum from that will be hard to stop for aggy/ousucks/lsu. Its good to see a coach fully utilizing the resources of The University of Texas. I think Hand will make a huge difference on offense as well.

  15. I think we win 9-10 this season and with that Errrbody is likely. It will just be too much momentum for a struggling aggy team even with their new head cuck. LSU is down. OU will definitely be a threat, but Herman seems to have a plan to lock down Texas talent and cherry pick a few national bad mfers. Is this kool-aid spiked?
