45	HTD	I need some help from the android faithful: During the christmas season, I somehow "butt dialed" my local 555-1212 four times. I never thought about it so much, until I opened my bill today. Each of those calls was to directory assistance, and was $2.99 each! With taxes and fees, 4 20 second calls to directory assistance was $14.50! Let's face it, who calls directory assistance these days? I've been searching both my carrier's web site and the universe for "how to prevent my phone from dialing a number", and am getting nowhere. Has anyone made this mistake, and how would I go about preventing my phone from dialing such numbers? Any help is appreciated by my wallet, Tom from NYC	https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/193772/block-an-outgoing-call-to-a-specific-number	- I couldn't find a solution here -JH - How do you prevent your phone from ever dialing a specific number??? I don't know how this is done!

47	RR	I'm a long-time Android user (had a Viewsonic Tab with CyanogenMod, it was great before the iPad came along and ruined things) as well as a Xiaomi mi max, and Redmi, as well as a few pixels (after coming across from Windows phone - RIP) As an owner of one of the older Sony Walkmans running Android 9 - I bought it (and not my phone) for the audio processor that works with my Sony XM3 headphones (although like all audio things I'm sure it's all marketing) it does have a cool screensaver and case that makes it look like a vintage walkman playing a tape though (picture attached). I also want to mention the Cat Ruggedised phones (Hi Ron!) I looked at one for the longest time, but ended up going with a Pixel 5 with a FLiR USB-C camera and haven't looked back since (now on pixel 7 Pro) as the Cat seemed a generation behind, and I always want the newest. This brings me to my actual question - I want to film a more stable video with my Pixel 7 pro, and I've been looking at the DJI gimbals, but it seems like their features are limited when not running on iOS - Do you have a suggestion for a good (and reasonably priced) android compatible gimbal?

51	JH	I was listening to episode 613 with Father Robert and you guys spoke briefly towards the end about authenticators. I've been using the Google authenticator for a while. It works fine, it's offline but it gets the job done. My work provides a work phone. It's an S10 and my personal is an s22 Ultra. I had a dodgy situation when upgrading to the s22. I turned in my old phone and as I wiped it I realized that I also wiped my password manager. After that incident I made sure that this would not happen in the future. So I grabbed an old phone in a drawer, set it up again, and I have it as a spare chat phone and streaming phone next to my computer. It also has the authenticator app with a backup of my codes. Then I realized that my work phone was pretty secure because of how the company manages the phone. So I have Google authenticator on all three phones: one in a drawer and two that I always have with me. So every time I set up a new code or 2fa for a account, it doesn't matter if I grab my work phone or my personal phone. When I require the code and I realize that I'm using my work phone to send that particular code up what I do is at that moment I usually transfer the account to my personal phone. This kind of keeps me one authentication code behind. Which I don't think is a big deal. As most of the time I do it on both. Pretty much all authenticators let you export accounts and I do this about once a month or whenever I set up a new account which is not that often. And yes I do write it on a piece of paper which I lost already. Robert
