@fesshole 20 years ago, in the queue into a carpark, a bunch of loud lads in a flashy BMW chucked a half eaten wrap of fish and chips on the pavement in front of me.

I picked it up with a view to chucking it in the back of their car.
They knew what was coming and rolled the windows up before I could.
So I rubbed the fish and chips into the air vent under the windscreen wipers.

How difficult is it for a non techy person to change their phone's operating system from Android to one of the non Android OS options?

What is the general process without risk of losing all the contacts, messages, and apps that are already on the phone in use?

I currently have a Samsung A13.

Thank you.

Skoda designed a bicycle bell that gets past noise cancelling headphones, and are giving away the idea.

That is brilliant.

We often tell folks who want to volunteer, but think they have little to offer, that they just need to turn up and there will be something they can help with, even if it is meet and greet or making sure volunteers have a tea break. Every thing matters.

Although, as an #ActuallyAutistic person I would have to say that that is not how steam locomotives work.

I think all my spoons have fallen out of the drawer. 😴

I will do better.
Thank you for the nudge.

I usually put a one line description as, on my screen, the website shows up as a thumbnail with description.

I guess that isn't always enough information in itself, if it even appears for others.

Does anyone know what these crimpers are for?
Thank you.

Edit: I know what the tool is, but I was wondering about this jaw set and their specific use/purpose.
Thank you.

I just went on Google streetview to find something, went forwards and ended up inside the streetview car!
