@nitin That is what ALL the online docs/videos show for this exact Samsung model. But, it just isn't working on this damn phone. It keeps booting back to the Android lock screen and just can't get to the Android bootup recovery screen.

This is why people find technology frustrating: I have forgotten the passcode to my old Samsung Galaxy A51 smartphone. None of the online instructions/video that show how to factory reset such a "locked" phone are working on this one! Banging my head all evening. 🤦

"Costco's gross margins are 12%, compared with Walmart’s 24%. The company makes up the shortfall through its membership fees: customers pay $60 or more a year to shop at its stores. In 2023 fees from its 129m members netted $4.6bn, more than half of Costco’s operating profits."

Trying a retractable fountain pen was one of the best decisions ever. ✒️

Since I mostly use pens to jot short notes or annotate, uncapping and capping a regular fountain pen is just too much effort. Clicking on a retractable is so low effort that I transitioned over almost completely from gel pens at home.
