Are you able to check your device storage use, used and free space? I use a Tab 6, without any issues. However, I have installed a bigger SD card... Sorry to hear that you are having this problem. It would be extremely frustrating. (PS Eryk has a "sync-backup" solution that works a treat!)

From what I understand, they still believe this. Although what it is, and how they conclude that 95% of the universe is 'Dark Matter' escapes me.

Sad to hear. May he rest, until he is called. I yearn for that time... 💐

JWST may have found the Universe’s first stars powered by dark matter By Colgate University. October 14, 2025 Summary: New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope hint that the universe’s first stars might not have been ordinary fusion-powered suns, but enormous “supermassive dark stars” powered by dark matter annihilation. These colossal, luminous hydrogen-and-helium spheres may explain both the existence of unexpectedly bright early galaxies and the origin of the first supermassive black holes. [ED Yet another theory...] ...Dark matter is thought to make up roughly a quarter of the universe, yet its nature remains one of science's greatest mysteries. Researchers believe it is composed of a still-undetected type of elementary particle. Decades of experiments have searched for these particles, but so far without success... "For the first time we have identified spectroscopic supermassive dark star candidates in JWST, including the earliest objects at redshift 14, only 300 Myr after the Big Bang," said Freese, the Jeff and Gail Kodosky Endowed Chair in Physics and director of the Weinberg Institute and Texas Center for Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics at UT Austin. "Weighing a million times as much as the Sun, such early dark stars are important not only in teaching us about dark matter but also as precursors to the early supermassive black holes seen in JWST that are otherwise so difficult to explain."

Thanks Bro Will. I learned a new trick. I look forward to trying it when I get my new 'tri-fold' phone. 📱📱📱 This will be the replacement for my current mobile + tablet combo. (If I'm still alive by then. Lol)

At the meeting, I use 2 devices. The tablet is for following along with the Workbook or magazine, etc. My phone is to look up scriptures that are not linked on the tablet - which will pop up on the side pane. (And sometimes I have been known to chat to others. 🤭🤫) However, I will look in to this 'dual session' thing. I may learn a new technique! Ty

Webb glimpses doomed star before its explosion By EarthSky Voices October 9, 2025 This marks the first time a supernova’s source star has been identified at mid-infrared wavelengths. The researchers said the discovery might help solve the decades-old mystery of why massive red supergiants are rarely seen to explode. That’s surprising, because scientists’ models predict these kinds of stars should make up the majority of core-collapse supernovae. That’s when massive stars, typically over eight times more massive than our sun, explode because their iron cores can no longer hold out against the force of gravity. The new study suggests these stars do explode, but are simply hidden out of sight within thick clouds of dust. With Webb’s new capabilities, astronomers can finally pierce through the dust to spot these phenomena, closing the gap between theory and observation. The peer-reviewed study was published on October 8, 2025, in The Astrophysical Journal Letters. Northwestern’s Charlie Kilpatrick led the study. He explained: "For multiple decades, we have been trying to determine exactly what the explosions of red supergiant stars look like. Only now, with [the Webb Space Telescope], do we finally have the quality of data and infrared observations that allow us to say precisely the exact type of red supergiant that exploded and what its immediate environment looked like. We’ve been waiting for this to happen, for a supernova to explode in a galaxy that Webb had already observed. We combined Hubble and Webb data sets to completely characterize this star for the first time." Full Article: https://earthsky.org/space/webb-sees-doomed-star-before-it-exploded/ Pic Description: These images show views from the Webb and Hubble space telescopes of a red supergiant star before and after it exploded. The star is not visible in the Hubble image before the explosion, but appears in the Webb image. The July 2025 view from Hubble shows the glowing aftermath of the explosion. The Authors: Kilpatrick is an expert on the lives and deaths of massive stars. He’s a research assistant professor at Northwestern’s Center for Interdisciplinary Exploration and Research in Astrophysics (CIERA). Another key coauthor on the paper is Aswin Suresh. He is a graduate student in physics and astronomy at Northwestern’s Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences and member of Kilpatrick’s research group.

I recently had an offer to get at a 50% reduced priced a 14" screen. I currently have a Samsung Tab 6 at 10.4". I'm scared I will break a 14" unit. It's just too big.. imo. As to Ram, and storage... Strech for the extra ram. I'm currently showing 4.7GB use on my 8GB Ram. The device will service you longer if you have spare Ram. New software seems to keep creeping in size. My device was one of the last Samsung devices that allowed the addition of an SD card, so I have 170GB free (of 256GB). It's a pity they stopped this imo. My old Samsung Tab 6 is still doing everything i require of it, even though it is now over 6 years old. It is running Android 12, and Samsung will no longer provide updates. I only use it for theocratic activities. Everything else is either on my phone or PC. (Both quite current.) So there is a built in 'best before' date. So get the extra ram, and it might service you for a year or two extra. With my device, I'm sure some upcoming update will force it in to retirement, as it will not longer run the latest software. (It has an upcoming 'use-by' date, much like me. lol) My son bought a 2-year old refurbished unit. Now, the battery does not hold charge, and the software support from Samsung is ending. So, stick to new device - if you can afford it. It may work out more cost-effective in the long run. (My son just purchased a new device this week. He effectively only got 2 years of use on his refurbished unit.) Hope this helps. Have fun installing all of your JW library books and notes to the new device. (I'm not looking forward to that when my tablet retires...) PS Let me know what you get. I'll be getting one in a year or two. Ty

Maybe you 'screenshot' it and post the pic...? Or 'copy' the message - then 'post' here...?

Worst day ever? Incredible images have captured a kilometres-long traffic jam at China’s largest toll road as millions of holiday-makers made their way home this week. Frank Chung 10 October, 2025 - 4:42PM Aerial footage showed thousands of cars lined up at the 36-lane Wuzhuang Toll Station in Chuzhou, in the eastern Anhui province, on Tuesday as the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday drew to a close. Videos and images of the gridlock have gone viral on social media.

New Video on ID org website: The human Eye Destroys Darwins theory. I used to use this quote in a talk I gave in the 80's. I think I found Darwins quote in the 'original' little blue 'Evolution' book.

Fyi. It popped up on my app already.
