They also have Smart Switch to transfer info to a new phone. 01:06:50 Jeff Dubois: How can I stop the Windows 10 nag screen from asking me to set up a Hello PIN? I mean I can go through the process, then disable it like I did on other machines, but it's a pain and it keeps popping up on a newly upgraded machine. (I can also say remind me in three days but there doesn't seem to be a "skip" option. Also can't ESC through it. 01:09:12 Tristan: Applications like Amazon Photos, Google Photos, etc can be used to auto backup photos on the phone. I find other than photos most things on a phone are disposable, as long as contacts are stored on your Google/iPhone account. 01:11:01 Jeff Dubois: I can set it up, disable it, then login with a password, then run plwiz.exe to login automatically. 01:12:01 Tom Trottier: https://www.acronis.com/en-us/blog/posts/mobile-backup-nas-simple-coming-home/ 01:12:37 Tom Trottier: https://www.androidauthority.com/backup-android-phone-708622/ 01:12:48 Natalie: I keep getting a Samsung tablet message about a policy update. It is asking for my registered Samsung phone number for verification (& 3 others things). If I don't agree to all, it won't let me continue. Any idea if there's a way around that? 01:14:03 Tristan: Samsung is getting rather annoying. They also change their legal terms almost weekly. Won't be going with their phone again. 01:14:32 KW-G: Call Samsung to discuss? 01:15:02 faber ichelle’s iPad: Thank you. Nice work. 01:15:12 Stew Bruce: I have a sammy a7 lite. Haven't seen this yet 01:15:20 Bob Herres: Apple phones seem expensive, but they do everything for you and they last 6 or 7 years... 01:15:22 KW-G: This is one of many reasons I chose to not go with Samsung 01:15:32 KW-G: @ Nathalie: How old is the tablet 01:15:35 Jeff Dubois: only on tablet and not on phone? Different versions of Android? 01:17:12 Bob Herres: Great Evening TY I will try to shares something soon , and I hope others do the same! 01:17:43 Natalie: Thanks for tonight!
