Is it safe to do that with a needle? I'd imagine I'd want to avoid putting metal in there.

I also wonder if Samsung will fix it for free, but I imagine that's unlikely.

Edit: Another user had a great suggestion of using a wooden toothpick and that worked like a charm!

I was considering getting an upgrade because something has happened to make my charging port difficult to use, but the differences with the newer models are so so minute and the cost so so high...

It just doesn't make a lotta sense. Tho, I bet getting in here to change the port part myself would be very tricky.

That's the thing with ads. They're a thorn in my side. That Google puts there.

If you were charging me to remove the thorns you put in my side, I'd be belligerent towards you. And I ain't gonna give ya money.

Is YouTube running at a loss, anyway? Or is Google just trying to squeeze more money outta its products? Maybe they should be content with the profits they got. Some quick searching says it generates somewhere in the realm of $29,000,000,000 in revenue annually. I imagine it's likely they can afford to not be so damn greedy.

It's true, I'm very passionate about never viewing any advertisements!

Well, I don't, but it isn't my problem.

Google makes enough money as is, I don't really care if the make poor decisions and end up with an unviable business model. I'll do other things with my time.

I don't really care about Google's wellbeing. I pay directly to the content creators I like and I hate seeing ads anywhere in my life and I'm willing to put in time and effort to make sure I see as few as possible.

If they say that the marketing data they scrape from user activity isn't enough for em, well, sucks to suck I guess.

Honestly?

Not my monkeys, not my circus.

I don't care what YouTube wants to do or how they do it, they need viewers and if they can't figure out how to keep em, ah well. They gotta create a service that caters to my behavior, not the other way around.

Sorry Google.

I'm gonna use YouTube ad free or I won't use it.

And I ain't gonna pay for it.

You're damn right that a lotta stuffings end up undersalted. And I'm not gonna tell you the boxed stuffing isn't tasty. (My "nightmare" comment is totally hyperbolic and flippant, but we're having fun here I hope)

But I have a friend who makes it with sausage and sage herbed brown butter and I'm confident it's a box beater. Heck of a lot more work, though.

There's a part of me that wants to suggest recipes to save you from this nightmare, but your ignorance is your bliss and it comes from a readily available, cheap and easy to prepare cardboard box.

Truly, a conundrum.

"Security", haha yeah right

Ah, great, who needs actors?? Finally, talent that can be possessed and owned without pay!

This AI nonsense has gotta stop, it's just more excuses for wealthy people and companies to stop paying people for work.
