My thoughts on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

My primary phone has been the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, and it’s still a beast 1 year later. Samsung might have changed the name, but other than not having expandable storage, this is the return to the Galaxy Note that I and many others were waiting for. The S24 Ultra is one step closer with its flat display, which makes using the S Pen more enjoyable. In fact, the flat display is why a few years…

Ok Android users listen up if you're going to fuck with dev options, particularly Simulate Secondary Displays. Even if this isn't your problem it still may be good to know.

Problem: Android boots into recovery mode after simulate secondary displays. Android crashed while using secondary displays.

Calm down it's not dead you can probably fix it. Turn it back on, if it boots in recovery *SELECT TRY AGAIN* (it may be highlighted in blue white or yellow) (your volume button are arrow keys and your power button is the enter key), DO NOT FACTORY RESET YET. Unlock, if it blanks/flickers turn the screen off and back on, don't restart. Keep doing this and allow a few seconds between until launcher stops, THEN HIT APP INFO ON WHICHEVER DISPLAY YOU CAN, PREFERABLY THE MAIN DISPLAY. Search "simu", hit secondary displays, hit none. Problem solved. Back your shit up and babysit your phone for a while.

Remember: If you royally fuck your phone up by trying to use a secondary desktop display, firstly if you're shits not backed up and there is important irreplaceable anything on that device, DON'T. Secondly, if you do, DO NOT USE SECURED. YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THE SECONDARY DISPLAY NO MATTER WHAT EVEN IF IT'S GOING WELL. However, if you do find yourself losing your absolute shit while your phone blanks out shuts itself off and boots into recovery mode with the lovely options "Try Again" or "Factory Reset" while really fun colored boxes contain lovely information like "your data may be corrupted" don't freak out and reevaluate every life decision you've ever made. You may be able to fix it.

just. really really REALLY thinking hard about the idea of Samus obtaining a little prototype EMMI after the events of Dread (maybe she requested it as part of her payment?) and making it into a funny robot body for adam :] I think it was @truepeaceinspace who had a similar idea...?

what I’ve learned about tumblr is that people, above all else, really want to be able to “um actually” you. the average tumblr user craves nothing more than to prove you wrong

Reminder that if nintendo doubles down on this whole “80-90$ games” bit, a steamdeck is cheaper and has everything the switch 2 offers and more. Sure it means no nintendo games (legally) but steam has a ton anyways. Also emulators exist so (not that i would ever endorse that but youd be shocked how quickly people can emulate new games).

Review of Samsung's One UI 6.0 on the Galaxy S23 Ultra (aka Note 23).

Samsung has come a long way since the days of TouchWiz, and it has been a wonderful ride! Samsung ditched its TouchWiz design with the Galaxy S8 and replaced it with the current One UI. Samsung also replaced the rather terrible S Voice assistant with Bixby, which is much more robust and useful. These two keep getting revised and updated as time goes on, and after using the S8, Note 20, Fold 3,…

so i know tiktok has a lot of silly/irrelevant/outlandish takes but your fortnight post from earlier (which i thought was BRILLIANT btw) reminded me of this person that made the connection between fortnight and a short story by sylvia plath. obviously not exactly the same plot-wise but very much setting a similar atmosphere and using a lot of the same imagery https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8MBUYee/

I’ve said before that what I love about TTPD album is how she uses metaphors/allegories/what have you to tell her own story. Each song stands on its own and is its own short story (the suburban gothic nightmare, the alien abduction, the Bible Belt ostracizing, the western bar, etc.) but they’re each a chapter in one overarching story. It really is an anthology in a way, in the literary sense.

So I could see how Taylor may have drawn inspiration for the setting of a song from other art, totally, like how Rebecca inspired Tolerate It or Rebekah Harkness inspired TLGAD or her grandfather inspired epiphany etc. And given that she referenced Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes in the pre-release promo for TTPD, I don’t think it’s beyond the realm of possibility that maybe that journal entry inspired the setting for Fortnight. The tortured artist isolated at home voyeuristically ruminating in what seems like the picture perfect marriage of her neighbours? Sure, I can see the parallel.

But I don’t think she was necessarily imagining herself as Sylvia or writing about them as those characters, because to me it seems very obvious it’s about her and the man who infiltrated her life. This may be reductive of me, but it’s also because Sylvia’s story is so fucking common, and I’d wager even more so in the 60s with the societal norms at play. And the fuck of it all was that Taylor kind of found herself in the same predicament: she left her home in the US, and stayed in service of her partner’s desires, seemingly increasingly stifling her own while her cries for help were dismissed.

Maybe “Fortnight” the song was inspired by fortnight the word in the entry, but also… it’s an everyday figure of speech in the UK, and I even made a post after TTPD came out about how many Brit-isms were peppered throughout the album which is undoubtedly a nod to her time there. And she and Matty were together for that very short a time, both in 2023 and presumably the decade prior. So again, I can see how it might have been a hook, but I don’t think it’s a slam dunk either.

I saw a lot of people make the same connection between Fortnight and Rose and Percy awhile back, and like I said, I won’t dismiss it out of hand because I’m not in Taylor’s head so I can’t confirm anything. And it is a logical take and one that is thoughtful by that creator. I just personally dooooooon’t really think it’s a slam dunk and feels more like a coincidence/loose inspo at most. (Like: oh, artist stuck in 1960s patriarchal gender norms with an unfaithful husband and resenting her perfect neighbours keeping up appearances? I THINK I’VE SEEN THIS FILM BEFORE AND I DIDN’T LIKE THE ENDING. TBH it also feels very Mad Men-like to me. Because again: it’s a common narrative device.)

I went down a bit of a Sylvia Plath rabbit hole last year after TTPD and tbh there are quite a few of her poems that feel so salient to what she wrote about on Midnights and TTPD, but again, I don’t necessarily think they were related so much that tortured artists writing about yearning, grief, loss, infidelity, mental illness, etc. Is a tale as old as time. (As is Americans running off to London lol.)

It’s an interesting discussion! I appreciate when it’s at least grounded in some kind of analysis and not conspiracy lol.
