I had forgotten how much I liked the Moto G3 (2015). Owners of the Moto G3 really got ripped off. Motorola was supposed to upgrade the Moto G series phone through two versions of Android. Instead, G3 owners only received one upgrade, to Marshmallow. A great phone was intentionally deprecated to make...

Enrique, as you said, aparted requires root. I bit the bullet and swapped the SD card with my old phone's SD card and now I have a working SD card (same size, same data, mostly) in my current phone. The corrupted SD card does not work in my old phone running Nougat 7.0, requiring format which fails ...

I have installed Terminal on my phones, but there is little that can be accomplished with the app without root. Many YT tutorials solve this corruption issue by running CHKDSK /f from Windows command prompt. I'm not sure whether the SD card is removed or still in the phone for Windows to operate on ...

I recently tried to view docs on my SD card in my smartphone running Oreo Android 8.1. I received a message that the SD card is corrupted, do I want to format. I tried to format, but the operation fizzled when I refused to transfer photo files from archive or cloud, not sure. I don't have any proble...

What is your favorite Murphy's Law saying

Arthur Bloch compiled a complete Murphy's Law collection in a 1990 book. It's loaded with laughs and wisdom. What is your favorite ML saying? Okay, here's my fave... Shirley's Law: Most people deserve each other. It's kinda funny, and a great play on words and meaning, slyly recursive and reflexive,...

I opened Firefox where the "Save image as" option is available. Why does FF allow it but PM denies it?

how to save an image using Pale Moon 28.8.4

If I right click an image, the context menu in Pale Moon does not provide a "save image" option. How do I download or save an image/pic?

Firefox 74.0 is broken

Does Mozilla know how bad Firefox browser has gotten in the last couple versions? Firefox freezes or becomes inoperable after 10 minutes online.

Methane is 30 times more effective at trapping heat than CO2. There are vast quantities of methane frozen in permafrost regions, and this methane will be released as gas if melting occurs due to global warming. Increased UV radiation of plankton due to ozone depletion is causing a significant reduct...

The biggest decision for me was between Puppy and DSL. (It didn't take long to decide, because Puppy did so much more.) SLiTaz came much later.

These haymaker snowstorms that originate from the Pacific Ocean south of California are not natural. Such storms are heavily modified by the introduction of ice-nucleating agents. A sure-fire giveaway that the frozen precip is artificially created is the slimy feel of the snow due to ice-binding sur...
