It's not really a mystery. Guillermo del Toro was meant to make the Hobbit, but due to multiple studios interfering he left. PJ came in to basically do whatever the studios wanted. And they wanted another adult Tolkien trilogy.

Del Toro wanted to do it right.

In LotR's defense, my copy of the complete trilogy is 1100+ pages and is jammed with detail. And they had to cut out loads. I love those films.

Hobbit is a ~300 page book for kids. They added a bunch of garbage to it to make 3x 3hr films. 😒 I loathe them. They are CRINGE. The epitome of greed.

Some of this will be planned obsolescence from Samsung, but also, it's also very hard for app makers to keep software support going for older hardware regardless. It's probably for the best, for security reasons ☹️

I feel your pain, my last phone was perfect.

YAAAAAY!!!!!!! Good good 😊😊 sorry I just was catching up with someone foe a while, I'm glad that worked!

If you're still worried about the battery settings, you can monitor these apps' battery usage over the next few days to see if they are draining battery, but most probably won't, imo!

This one sounds more like the one you need because it can customise your settings for you? If so, I think I could help you sideload this (or any other vivo app), which just means to download & manually reinstall it. But you have to change some settings first.

(I have done android dev b4!)

Was it this one but in Chinese?

I can have a look for which one you need!

I'm assuming you can't text properly without it? you might also get away with a different version just fine or installing Google Messages instead.

(someone will have the app somewhere to download.)

Though a factory reset might bring the app back

If it's really needed let me know what the app is, you might be able to manually reinstall it and I could try to help out tomorrow sometime when free.

If you still have problems on some apps with these settings changes, same guy is recommending you try this 4th thing as well

What a horrible design, my god...

Apparently common with their OS as it's intentionally trying to save battery. 😒

This guy has a detailed walkthrough to fix the delays but there's 3 steps PER APP. Maybe test with a few apps 1st & reboot after making the changes to make sure they've started up.

This might help: I use this site to research ingredients in skincare products before purchasing (you can search by product). incidecoder.com

They list some sunscreen agents / ingredients are known allergens, so this might help you find products without those ones.

For what it's worth, I decided to watch it. The only thing I'll add to what everyone else is reporting is this is how I found out there was also a dog in the vehicle.

A minor detail in comparison to the loss of human life, but it just adds to how callous he was w/ all the lives on that street.

"The quiet revival" isn't real, and we know that because they've counted the people in the pews. Church attendance and specific religious identification is where it's been for decades in the US and Europe: on the decline.

This is Christian identity head-ology shit, not the facts on the ground.
