LPT: Samsungs Ads in the OS are opt-in, go into the settings to disable them.

Go into settings, click your profile icon in the upper right corner. This opens your Samsung Account settings. Go to Personal information, scroll all the way down and uncheck the "Get offers and marketing from Samsung and its partners".

TL,DR ...

Quick thoughts on my Pixel 5

I received my Pixel 5 yesterday, after debating hard over Pixel vs Samsung S20FE. Below are my thoughts for others who are as detail-focused as I am.

**Performance**

Uh oh...

I was initially concerned about performance when I read this wasn't shipping with a flagship CPU. Then the marketing material and YouTube reviews assured me that I didn't *need* a flagship processor, as I don't game or edit on my phone (I have a very powerful gaming PC and editing suite for that). The 765g *should* be en...

What are your favorite Google apps?

Some of my favorites are:
1. Snapseed - An excellent photo editor with many features.
2. Google authenticator - One of the best authenticators, very convenient.
3. Measure - Perhaps there is better, but I have not found it yet.

Applications that are installed immediately with the phone do not count. (youtube, chrome)...

I thought these offers were USA exclusive, but i was so surprised to get a notification this morning.
Not sure if it will be available in other countries too, but if you get it, please write a comment here.

Samsung Reminder and Microsoft To-do Sync beta is live!

I saw an update tonight for Samsung Reminder version 11.6.01.1000, dated Oct 16, 2020. In the changelog it says "Sync with Microsoft To Do (Beta)". I'm a MS ToDo user and have been anxiously awaiting this update that was announced a couple of months ago. I updated and it asked me if I wanted to sync with my Microsoft account. I did and within a couple of minutes everything had synced up (you can only sync one MS ToDo list but it let's you choose which one). I tried adding a new reminder via the ...
