I'm looking for a way to add a Korean calendar to my #samsung calendar ( without using Google calendar )
On the samsung smartphone I'm able to add the lunar #korean#calendar but that's not enough to show me 추석 and others fest .
Any tips?

Samsung TV Plus is free and has a TON of content, both live and on demand.
You will have to sign up for an account, but Apple's "Hide My Email" works just fine. The signup process is VERY buggy, but press on, you'll get there.
Currently watching "Jobs" on my Mac. Thought that was apropos.
We're currently looking for a new refrigerator because we're renovating our kitchen. The existing built in fridge has been there for the 16 years that we've lived here, and who knows how long before. It's awful: The internal temperature fluctuates between freezing and 8 C and it guzzles electricity - measurement suggests ~500 kWh per year.
For some reason all new built in fridges still have high energy usage, so we're only looking at free-standing models.
Most fridge/freezer combi models are absurdly large. It's a stretch to reach the top shelf inside.
All the A-rated refrigerators are huge and have apps. Linking appliances to the internet is IMO stupid and in any case white goods ought to last longer than mobile phones.
Some of the B rated models are only just behind the 'A's in energy usage but they usually have apps as well.
Then there's the problem of avoiding boycotted brands (#siemens linked to Israel and Russia, #liebherr and #samsung to Russia, #Beko to Turkey).
Wlasnie za pomoca paru prostych ustawien odblokowalem w swoim #Garmin#Venu3 aplikacje #EKG - na #Samsung.u to wymagalo instalowania jakiejs odblokowanej wersji firmware, a finalnie i tak sie w koncu nie udalo 😅
Just discovered on my new Android phone (OnePlus Nord 3 5G Lite) that there is a little button that appears in the nav drawer that, if you rotate your phone and you don't have auto rotate on, it will allow you to rotate the screen to that dimension and effectively stick to it until you rotate and press the same button to rotate back.
"Samsung mocks Apple’s crushing iPad Pro ad with its own ‘UnCrush’ pitch"
Watch the ad. Clever? Easy pickings to mock your rivals mistake?
Me? I thought it was meh. Samsung has done way better, like that ad where someone got a "notch" haircut when iPhone came out with the notch. That one was wicked.
Took my Note 9 out of the drawer after two months. Wanted to update the apps and get some nostalgic feel again. The battery was at 75% still and not drained like my old iPhones.
I miss this phone. I disabled all Google services and only installed open source apps. Many samsung apps are disabled or in a folder not being used.
There are no OS updates but I don't install much apps. The screen is still beautiful on this phone too.
Retrospective from a month with the #Zenfone 11 Ultra:
I'm now officially a fan of the Zenfone. It hits a certain sweet spot for me between the headphone jack, UI, camera, and battery life. It's the direction #Samsung should have gone.
I don't like the larger size more than the size of the 9/10, but it is roughly the same size of my previous Samsung Galaxy Plus, so I can definitely live with it.
i am using #Osmand for #navigation. the #f-droid version. i was so lucky with it, a long while it ran great on my old #samsung#galaxy#s5 on #lineageOS but now the crashes are back and its unusable again which it was several (partly very long) periods in the past. i don't know what they are doing that its such a pain in the ass; maybe they have problems to do a good memory management. i am very sad, because i love that app and its plugins. it nearly is able to do everything you would like to do with such an app. when it runs. now i'll try it with #organicmaps. seems to be spartan but stable. and it has no trackers. if you have any further ideas, you are welcome.
Last Sunday, I wanted to watch some stuff on TV, but my #Samsung soundbar interrupted the sound every few minutes, and then reset its volume to pretty low. I was too tired to try and fix it then, but in the last week, I had a few sessions to try and fix it. I updated the firmware, and even installed their crappy app, nothing worked, and somehow I couldn't reset the thing either.
Today I did another attempt, and fixed it. How, you ask? Well, the problem had a very feline origin...
📲 "Datensparsames Android mit der Android Debug Bridge" & "Google-Apps und weitere Bloatware loswerden mit dem 'Universal Android Debloater Next Generation'"
Für diejenigen, die Android-Geräte betreiben, bei denen sie kein Custom ROM installieren können (oder wollen), hier zwei gnulinux.ch-Artikel, in denen es darum geht, wie auch ein Stock-Android ohne Root weitgehend datensparsam betrieben werden kann und wie Google-Apps und weitere Bloatware entfernt werden können:
Im ersten Teil der Artikelreihe "Datensparsames Android mit der Android Debug Bridge" beschreibt Matthias "den Versuch, unter Android durch Umbau mittels der Android Debug Bridge (ADB), ohne Root soweit wie möglich an das Datenschutzniveau besserer Android Custom ROMs heranzukommen. Es ist der erste Teil einer voraussichtlich dreiteiligen Serie. Im ersten Teil wird der Ansatz für ein aktuelles Samsung Android (Stock-ROM) mit Android 14 demonstriert." und zeigt "wie mit Hilfe der Android Debug Bridge (ADB) und weniger Apps zur Geräteadministration auch ein vorinstalliertes Stock-ROM mehr oder weniger datenschutzfreundlich umgebaut werden kann".
Ergänzend dazu habe ich im Artikel "Google-Apps und weitere Bloatware loswerden mit dem Universal Android Debloater Next Generation" noch eins der Tools vorgestellt, mit dessen Hilfe Funktionen der "Android Debug Bridge" über ein grafisches Frontend genutzt werden. So können auf relativ einfachem Weg auf vergoogelten Androids Google-Apps und weitere Bloatware wie Hersteller- und Werbeapps entfernt werden.
Google-Apps und weitere Bloatware loswerden mit dem "Universal Android Debloater Next Generation"
Android-Geräte enthalten oft sehr viele Apps, die sich weder deinstallieren noch deaktivieren lassen. Debloater-Software kann den Weg aus der "Bloatware-Hölle" erleichtern.
The innovation arm of technology giant Samsung has invested in 70 Israeli companies to date. “Although our physical presence in Israel will cease, we remain committed to investing in the region and encouraging referrals from builders and founders,” Samsung Next’s Tel Aviv office wrote in an email
I'm ignorant:
Found out that the #pics I take with my phone camera are so large (like 12mb each). I like to put the highest for a good resolution. I know I do wrong. Can anyone explain what should I do to have great pics in a small size file? I use an #Samsung A53 #photograghy
After 15 years of using an iPhone, I'm considering switching to Android. I've ordered a cheap Samsung just to try it for a while before buying a top-end model.
Let's see if I can get used to it.
(I'm also a Mac user so there will be some trade-offs..)
I really like the Busycal iOS app, does anyone know a good #Android alternative? It syncs with my calendar & tasks on Nextcloud.
I've tried Android for 2 weeks on a cheap Samsung, and am getting used to it. Just a few things from the iPhone I am missing, but overall finding my way in the Android ecosystem. I really like how you can tweak the interface as you like it.
So now I've bought a S24 ultra, and so far loving it! Really good quality phone, and a bit cheaper than the iPhone I had. #android#samsung

I tried changing my e-mail from Gmail to something else, and Samsung kept telling me every e-mail I wanted to use was not allowed. For example, Duck dot Com provided by DuckDuckGo was not allowed.
Samsung was in the way of avoiding Google and so Samsung, had to go. I am not going to compromise. The goal is to delete, Google and Microsoft too.
