I'm getting that on my Samsung too. It seems like it's ads that are auto installing themselves. As best as I can recall all of the unauthorized programs I've found have been ads in various games i do play.

But only on Samsung. Not on my pixel or my tablet. This is despite having the Samsung locked down as well as AI can figure out how to do.

Not really jimmied, just the way the federal government works. When you get an amatuer radio license it's good for 10 years. So it "expires" in 10 years, but not really. You get a 2 year grace period that you are sitll listed as licensed if someone looks up your callsign. They did this because sending out a notice when a license expired was too expensive. So if you use that 2 year grace period and pay the fee to renew you next experiation is 10 years from when yours expired, so 8 years from when you renew lol. I only renew because you don't have to retake the test ever if you keep renewing. The feds, hard at work.

But they sent me a PDF with two copies of my license. One to go in my wallet which is not required and another larger one they say is suitable for framing. Umm I'm sure 0.0% of people do anything other than not print it or throw it in the trash. Feds at work.

Either way. I'm good for 8 years and probably a 2 year grace period after that, who knows it comes and goes.

fuck Samsung. My tablet screen just stopped working. It's under warranty, but they need me to first upload proof of purchase to make sure it's still under warranty.

I'd normally understand, but I was logged in on my Samsung account, and I bought the tablet through Samsung.com on the same Samsung account. It seems they updated the site last year and it lost part of the purchase history I have with them.

I literally had to print off the receipt from Samsung and reupload it to Samsung.

Do a lot of ham radio? When I was in KY I was hearing people speaking through anything with a speaker , even unplugged things. Freaky as hell. Then randomly if I was on a wall phone (this was pre-easy cell phones) people would talk all over me. FF to me walking over to my job site one day and noticing the heavy copper cables strung between 2 trees literally right across from my apartment. No idea what that guy was pushing but it probably sterilized me. lol

My first college apartment had a guy in the house next door with a giant antenna tower (giant for being like 20 ft from my living room anyway). When he was doing his thing, basically all the electronics were useless. Not sure what kind of a thing he was, but I never understood a fucking thing he said despite constantly hearing him loud and fucking clear. Imagine a hardcore creole auctioneer (also probably drunk as fuck).

90's, we rented a house in the middle of the cows. closest neighbor was maybe 1/2 mile away. people started talking over us on the phone, so called the phone company, they said it was my issue and check my box on the side of the house. there was no box on the side of the house and it took me a while to find where it connected. under the house in the crawl space was a metal plate about 16" long with 2 big copper spools at the top, bunch of old electronics and enough connections for about 20 phone lines.
called the phone company again, they repeated the same thing. told them there was no box, described the thing under the house and told them if they didn't fix it was going to each neighbor to tell them you are letting me listen to them on the phone. they came out the next day and put a box on the side of the house.

At an appointment and the TV is playing the View. Tempted to use another location/office instead. These cunts are infuriating.

I dunno man, I bet the people who get their call sign on their license plate probably frame the big copy and laminate the small one and keep it in their wallet.
