I got really excited when I saw this sitting on the shelf at Goodwill today with a $2.99 tag on it, then I died a little inside when I opened it up

I don't use my Note9 as my daily phone but I do still have some games on it that I play. when I booted it up a few days ago I got a notification of a new update called System Configuration Update. anybody know what that's about? I haven't installed it yet and I'm not sure what it will do. my Note9 is a stock N960U and recently when I updated the imdb app on the phone it no longer worked saying I was on an unsupported version of Android so I have been checking every app update that is available and only installing the apps that list supported OS as 10 or lower.
I saw a youtube video that seemed like AI slop talking about it but thats all I could find so far. the video mentioned that it's an update from the carrier, not Samsung, that has been sent to all on their networks. note9 and note10 phones still online. my phone is a VZW branded phone but I haven't had a SIM card in it for years. it says that users that have installed it report that it's re-enabling some features that send data back to google that they had previously disabled for privacy reasons. the features mentioned are Swipe To Text and Predictive Text. I searched the settings on my Note9 and I can't find either of them to check if they are enabled or not. the location in the settings menu that the video says to go into doesn't even exist on my phone so I'm not sure where else to look.
I found the Configuration Updates system app (actually there are 3 of them on my note9) and of course they can't be disabled, but I did go in and disable background battery activity, and the option to allow them to change system settings.
anybody know more about this?
I didn't get just the standard 2 points this week. I'm only 70 away from Gold status so maybe I'll start getting higher weekly points once I hit gold.
I am a single user on my server, and I am lazy and usually just 'set it and forget it' when I do stuff so Ive been on an older version of Jellyfin for a while. 1 thing I haven't really liked in the past year or so of using Jellyfin is the filtering. there have been 3 major issues that have stopped me from using them even though I often find that I want to use them but then I remember all the headaches so I don't.
1st issues:
One of the most common things I want to do with filters is filter by decade, but I only see individual years listed so if I only want to see movies from a specific decade I need to manually select each year of that decade. Is there a filter option somewhere to specify the decade, instead of the year?
2nd issue:
I can't for the life of me find a way to clear filters after I have applied them. am I blind? After selecting every year from a decade, how do I clear it out to show all movies again? I've tried refreshing the page, and even closing the browser and reopening but it always seems to keep the filter applied.
there was a 3rd issue, but before posting this I finally got around to updating the server ( from v 1010.6) to the latest version and that 3rd issue is gone.
Please don't suggest add-ons as a solution to these issues. I don't want to install add-ons for a feature that already exists in the software. filtering is a basic feature and shouldn't need add-ons to 'fix' its functionality. if an add-on is truly the only solution for these things just tell me it can't be done.
Residen Evil: The Final Chapter on bluray that I requested from swapadvd came in last night, completing my Resident Evil bluray collection. I know there is another movie that came out about 5 years ago but that is a reboot so I wasn't trying for that 1. I also know that there are some animated movies too but I don't believe those are part of this series. If I'm wrong on that let me lnow.
I've only ever seen the 1st 3 movies in the series and wanted to wait until I got them all before I watched any more.
The 1st 2 I saw in the theater, 3rd I think I either rented or saw on cable, I'm not really sure on that and don't really remember that movie all too much.
I have been getting free earbuds from a company on Amazon in return for posting reviews of them but the most recent pair is showing its age. they aren't charging very well and the battery in the case drains too quickly, but that company seems to have disappeared so I can't get anymore free earbuds.
Has anybody tried these Aldi earbuds? I really just need something for listening to music while I'm out running errands so they don't need to be professional quality or anything but I also don't want something that sounds like crap
Top row are my latest arrivals from swapadvd, bottom row are Goodwill pick ups. Goodwill discs were half price, I already have Silverado but only a single disc set so this was a cheap edition upgrade. It also comes with a deck of Silverado playing cards. I could have sworn the deck was sealed but I just pulled it out and it's not. Luckily all the cards are there and it looks like it's never been used. Another Goodwill location in the same network had like 3 sealed copies of this same set a few years ago but they wanted $9 each for them which I literally LOL'd at as I put it back on the shelf.
Ghost Dog I've never actually seen. I remember seeing trailers for it when I watched other movies in the theater and when renting but I'd never seen it so it's a blind buy for me.
The swapa DVDs were both blind buys. I just recently completedy Resident Evil DVD collection and of course as soon as I did I started finding bluray copies at the thrift store. Over the past year or so I've found all but the first and last movies on Blu-ray so I ended up ordering both of those on swapadvd to complete the collection. 1st 1 arrived today, Final Chapter has shipped but hasn't arrived yet. Hopefully I get that 1 soon.
I recently started using swapadvd. Ordered 3 titles from a user and they messaged me saying they were offering order 3 get 1 free so I picked a freebie for the 3 I ordered. The next day I saw a new DVD posted that I wanted and it ended up being from the same user so I did the order 3 get 1 free offer again. All 8 arrived today
Been buying the Cheddar Cheese flavor of these for about a year now. I had been buying the Stop & Shop version before that but they were always terrible. The Aldi version were exactly like the original name brand version, up until recently. The past few times I went looking for them, the shelf was empty then they finally get them back in stock but now they are made the same as the Stop & Shop version. I had bought 2 bags of them, I ended up finishing the 1st bag but I brought the 2nd bag back for a refund.
I just looked thru my point history,, the last time I got double digits was August 2025 and then it was only 13 points.
I guess I have another year of single digit points ahead of me.
I'm not a HUGE Pink Floyd fan but I do like their music. I just found this at Goodwill for cheap so I grabbed it. It's a CD/Blu-ray combo pack.
I looked it up on Discord and it appears to be complete with everything that comes with it.
Can't wait to listen to it.
I've slowly been ripping my DVDs and I have about 9 classic live action disney movies ranging from the early 50s to the late 70s so I figured it was time to create a collection for them. Im looking for a cool poster to use for the collection but so far I haven't been able to find anything I like. I have searched this sub but none of the posters I found match what Im looking for. I would really like something similar in style to the old 50s or 60s theatrical posters for disney live action movies like moon spinners, parent trap, that darn cat, or summer magic
does anybody know where I can find something like that ?
also, why wouldn't the sub let me post using the 'request' flair? I was prompted saying I need to follow rule 3 of adding flair, but I had flaired it. it seems like it only recognizes 3 of the available flairs instead of all of them? is that normal?
I stopped at another Goodwill while I was out running errands earlier today, after my last post. I think these 3 That 70s Show sets finally complete my collection for that show. One Crazy Summer was a movie I watched countless times as a kid, every time it was on WPIX Channel 11 on Saturday afternoon. The other is a blind buy, I have seen the original but never this 1.
Just grabbed these from Goodwill. The Venom trilogy is 3 separate discs which I always like to see in multi-movie sets like this, and it included a digital code insert with 3 working codes so now I have them all in my digital library too.
I grabbed these TV season sets today. My local Goodwill seems to be relaxing on their multi-disc set price hikes. Last week these would have been $8-$10 per season, but they dropped the prices back down to $2.99 each.
I have Married With Children season 1 so now I have a bit of a gap between seasons I own but you take what you can get when you thrift.
The Cobra Kai season is my 1st on physical so again I take what I can get.
The mistake is NewsRadio. I already own the season 1&2 set but when I was inspecting the discs for scratches there was an extra disc in 1 of the cases and it's season 3 disc 1 so I must have seen that and got it In my head that this was a season 3 set. Oh well. The set I own already is the Mill Creek version though. This 1 is the Sony release. Not sure if it matters which 1 I keep.
And, speaking of the Mill Creek release of the s1&2 set, if you own that check the last disc to make sure the final episode is there. My copy was missing the final episode. I bought it at Goodwill a few years ago so I took a chance and contacted their support. They asked me for a picture of the disc that was missing the episode and after I sent it to them they mailed out a replacement disc that has the missing episode, and as an apology for the messed up disc they even let me pick out another release free of charge. I chose the 80s Dungeons & Dragons animated series set. They have the absolute best customer service of any company I have ever had to deal with.
I tried to sign into an app that sends an email with a 2fa code just now (2:40pm) but I never saw the email come in. Looking at my inbox the most recent email was from 10:33am. I sent myself a test email but it just sat in the outbox with status of 'sending'. Disabled wifi/mobile data and turned on airplane mode, then switched back but nothing new came in. Disabled AdGuard and was immediately flooded with new emails in my inbox including the 2fa email and my test message.
This is the 2nd time this month that AdGaurd has blocked my Gmail connection like this. My big issue with this is that Gmail never gives me any indication of an error when I open the app so I don't know I'm not getting emails unless I try to send something out or if I notice a huge gap since the last time something has come into my inbox. I'm using a Pixel8 and Android 16. Anybody else have this happen to them recently?
AdGuard version 4.12.3 and checking for updates say I'm up to date . Not rooted, running stock OS.
Picked these up today. $5 each, and neither was the half price color unfortunately. The Apocalypse Now is a 3 disc set. 1st disc has original and redux versions of the film. 2nd disc says Hearts of Darkness, not sure what that is. 3rd is special features. I grew up in the 80s but I never got around to watching this movie, I think it's time to fix that.
The 007 movie I grabbed cause I recently finished thrifting all the 007 movies on DVD and have started grabbing blurays as I find them now. I think ilthis is maybe the 5th or 6th blu I've found.
I'm using the Imgur app as an example but this happens in every app. When I take a screenshot and tap the 'capture more' button it cuts off the top of the screen. How do I get it to stop doing that? In the imgur example I want to include the title of the post in my screenshot but once I tap the 'capture more' button I can't get it to include that part of the screen.

I just recently got a notification in the app that my card is about to expire soon and to order a replacement. I opened the app and went to order it but there's no free option, they are all either $5 or $50. I know they have charged for the metal cards for a while now but when your card expired you used to get the basic replacement card for free.
Do they no longer offer a free replacement card when your current card expires?
My local Goodwills have all upped their physical media prices. TV series sets are now like $8 and up but these 2 sets slipped thru at the single disc movie price of $3 so I grabbed them up quick. Both are series I'm trying to complete. I have the 1st 3 seasons of each and now these.
I found the Hitman's Bodyguard a few years ago so I jumped on the sequel when I found that too.
