So... What would be the ultimate upgrade, and why is this device five stars if there's one better? šŸ¤”

5 out of 5 stars.
Riding the wave

After having used a S22 Ultra 5G for sometime, the S24 Ultra was the penultimate upgrade. Besides the same great cameras and zoom prowess, the addition of AI features to video and enhanced photos was just to hard to pass by. The flat screen and stylus make note taking a breeze. Wireless charging is still smooth and Android Auto connectivity is still reliable across my vehicles. My only gripe is for Samsung to include a micro SD card slot. 512GB seems wonderful until you have numerous 4k videos and HDR pictures taking up all your space. Finally the Snapdragon processor is wonderful and stays cool under prolonged usage. Here's to the next 7+yrs of security updates and incremental improvements to the Galaxy Ultra line.

Misusing English is literally the worst.
I would think the S24, and maybe the author assumed readers were knowledgeable about the whole line (not a great assumption, but whatever).

Given the entire review, I'd say 5-stars is dependent on what you need. The SD slot isn't make or break for everyone, especially if you're like me and don't keep photos on your phone for long, and rarely to never take video. I'd also need more info on the next-level phone to see if any of this made sense.

I'd give my current phone 4-stars, but my sisters absolutely loathe it šŸ˜‚
Hi hi!

Do you ever ponder how close the Wright brothers came to being Darwin Award winners? Instead, they didn't die, you can fly to Bermuda or Bora Bora or the Swiss Alps on holiday, the world has Google Maps and international communication at our fingertips, FedEx will get it to you from anywhere overnight, and I get to eat perfectly ripened Chilean cherries during Chile's version of August (they just call it "February").

Dear NYT Games,

"NOVELING" is too a word! Ask anyone in November. *RollEyes*

There are a LOT of words that are not in their dictionary.
Ah, but they don't say it isn't a word, dear BrandiwynšŸŽ¶ . They very wisely say that the word isn't on their list of possible wordsā€“or in their dictionary, I don't remember exactly how they word it. They don't want to take a stand on what is or isn't a word. People have brought lawsuits (and probably started wars) over less. *Pthb*
I'd be willing to bet and "verbing" isn't in their dictionary either. *Pthb*
I just discovered that Liberty and Ellis Islands are in NEW JERSEY, not New York. *Shock2* Now I'm questioning everything I ever thought I learned all my life.

Richard ~ Shenanigans INC. - Aha. So it's Google Maps who has it wrong. Zoom in on the islands and they both fall cleanly on the west side of the dotted line.
BrandiwynšŸŽ¶ - In using Google maps (I no longer do) I came to the conclusion that Google AI (artificial intelligence has become AI(artificial ignorance).
BrandiwynšŸŽ¶ - The Islands do fall on the Jersey side, but SCOTUS decided otherwise.
My favorite new word:

enshittification
[ en-shit-uh-fi-key-shuhn ]

noun
the gradual degradation of an online platform or service's functionality, as part of a cycle in which the platform or service first offers benefits to users to attract them, then pursues more and more profits at the expense of users:
There's been a significant enshittification of the website in just this year alone.

I've known some people this could also apply to, they start out offering a lot of benefits to attract friendship, but over time they require more and more time and energy; sorry Sam, but there's been significant enshittification of your friendship over the last year, I'm out of here!
Sounds like a certain website I know of. In terms of the description, x marks the spot, I guess.
BrandiwynšŸŽ¶ Try to find anything on Qooqle without being deluged by ads. I can't use Twatter. Instameal is viewable but won't allow comments... Basefook is tedious and of less value while cramming crap down my craw.

2024 elections loom and so much is paywalled, while people fear or refuse to talk face-to-face. *Worry* And folks won't fact check.

Anyone need a Sci Fi story prompt?

I have one, what if the meteor that killed the dinosaur never hit? What would change in your world?
Another sci fi prompt, perhaps? For a story complication, at least, if not a primary plot:

A couple of ISS astronauts lost hold of their tool bag on a space walk. Apparently you can see it from Earth with binoculars. Luckily, they were done using it at the time, but it would have been really annoying if they weren't.

My uncle Ferdinand was walking in the park late this morning and a burning tool bag fell from the sky and hit him on the head. Heā€™s fine now and Iā€™m guessing NASA isnā€™t getting those tools back cheap. Uncle Ferdinand can be spiteful.
I've added a new entry to my book, "La Bene Vita" :

It's the sending video that matters, I should maybe just include that one. It's uncanny to see how my brain shuts down.
*second
KĆ„re Enga in Udon Thani thank you for letting me know! I tweaked the post a little too point readers to the one that demonstrates the bradykinesia first. The other video is there for reference (in addition to enjoyment! šŸ˜Š), to show that the errors in video 2 of 2 aren't simply due to lack of practice.

I discovered this open source world map, and it occurred to me that Google could take over the world simply by holding information hostage. Most of my colleagues under the age of 35 couldn't get to work without their GPS. Is it too late to NaNo?? (J/K, don't try to talk me into NaNo'ing šŸ˜‚)

I used to not use Google maps. Now I do. It's handy like GPS. I don't know what I'd do without it. Lol
No problem. I just use land marks to navigate. That and have plenty of potable water. Pretty sure I could get un-lost before three weeks.*Wink*
I use https://www.waze.com/live-map/ it is better at navigating traffic.
I got to see Seisa-sleepingcatbooks.com this past weekend. You should all be very, very jealous. *Heart* Ask about the awesome job she has these days! *Plane**Train**CarB*

I'm quite jelly. I miss you both!
It's not secret. I work as a technical writer-editor for the NTSB. Like "Air Disasters." *Bigsmile*
Oh, that IS cool! My friend loves to watch that with me just before I fly. *Laugh* Thankfully, while I'm quite susceptible to suggestion in many areas of my life and I think she has me watch it in a desperate attempt to keep me around longer, that show actually encourages me about flight safety, so nice work! *Delight*
