Hey all, I'm wondering - some of the Samsung devices specifically the Note phone and the Note tablet come with some pretty nice apps like S-Note, Scrapbook and Story Album. Is there a way to install these once I put a custom or GSI ROM onto the device? Will it still be recognized, let's say by the Samsung Galaxy Store app, and deploy these apps? I know some of them have their own engine and other associated components. I've never been able to get them installed manually.

Has anyone put together a way to put them on?

Hey all, I was just wondering why on XDA is the Galaxy A13 pretty much a ghost? It's not in the Devices listings, and there doesn't seem to have ever been any ROMs or TWRP et all, for this model. Was it just super locked-down?

Hey all, I've been selling online for 27 years now and several years back I sold Mercari for quite a while. When they pulled the auto-destruct move by shifting fees to the buyers and demanding a fee for every transfer of proceeds, I along with some thousands of other sellers ditched. I even had a purchase that never arrived, and my last experience with them was submitting support tickets on a daily basis for a couple of weeks, during which absolutely no response was received. So that's when I actually deleted my account and forgot about them entirely.

That being said, for a short while when I was selling, there were some product categories in which I did extremely well. Made tons of sales and made a handsome profit. Some types of items for whatever reason are very difficult to get sales on eBay, whereas on Mercari I was very successful.

So I wanted to check in with the community and ask, how is the platform faring nowadays? Are they still charging buyers the fees, or have they come to their senses and changed that back? Do they still charge a fee for every funds withdrawal?

I'd love to hear how you all are doing on this platform these days. I never understood why, but it was clear they were trying to bring the company down and bankrupt it; if not then they got the world's dumbest person to enact those changes. Either way...

Last night I put on Takedown (aka Track Down, aka Hackers 2) for my wife to watch, since she had never seen it and is not really part of the tech culture. She was curious about it though.

But then I read that he died of pancreatic cancer in 2023. I had not heard about it. So sad.

Not really much more of a point to the post other than it took me by surprise because somehow I just missed the news about it.
