COVID-19 Update 7: Why My Huawei Phone is Like the Postal Service

I want to write about my Huawei nova 5t phone. I developed some kind of OCD thing and started washing everything I touch with water and soap including my phone. There after the battery of the Huawei nova 5t stopped charging. Now the sensor says it is down to 0% charge and the only way I can use it is if I keep it plugged to the USB adapter. I have the option to plug the cable to the wall, the desktop computer or to my portable battery pack. My portable battery pack is 10,050 full charged. My phone has to be looked at by a phone tech, but I believe I would need a new battery for the phone. Ordinarily, it is just a 30 minute trip to the mall shops but the lock down made all trips a challenge now.

Speaking of trips, I can't deposit my sister's checks to the bank. I don't even know if the bank is open. I can't make the trip to the postal office to get this month's checks. I suppose I can walk the 5 kilometers but I am not sure the postal office is open. All these places are staffed by people who are scared for their lives.

My Huawei phone's battery won't charge. It wants to stay plugged to the wall. It wants to stay home. Sigh. The monthly pensions wont be arriving in my mailbox by themselves. The mailman isn't delivering the mail anymore. If the postal office is open, I suppose I can make the trip and get my checks. But like my phone I would rather stay home too.

Password Issues On Ubuntu Login

I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it. I've been running the current session for more days than I should have. I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my system now? It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub. The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a terminal access where you can issue commands. Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the filesyste...

2024 So Far

I have a feeling of moving earth or walking off my itchiness. The growing fat in my belly tells me I am failing on many occasions to give in to this urge. My eyes are blurred by morning glory. I remember my father having the same ritual in the morning. After his weak stroke, he couldn't speak much, just a grunt but he would demonstrate with hand how he liked to wash his face. The weather wasn't helping. It's been raining cats and dogs the past week. The province of Rizal was soaked and spilled volumes of water into the bay and Laguna lake. Our Caimito tree was cut to no more than 4 feet from the ground. It was towering above the corrugated sheet metal of our roof. Now it lay horizontal on the yard. I calculated it could be made into a whole table and chairs set by a talented carpenter artist. I showed Lino the two big pieces of trunk that could only be moved if cut by a power saw in place. The road widening project in San Mateo was in the middle stage. One side of the road ...
