And I was amazed to learn that Alzheimer’s can be viewed as a metabolic condition, as there is a strong genetic link between having some forms of AD with a lipoprotein that carries LDL (“bad”) cholesterol (APOE4). Doesn’t mean that we should all start gobbling statins, but it’s strange to think of AD as a cholesterol-related condition.

So much more to learn, and then figure out what if anything to do with what we’ve learned!

Isn't that what the old folk used to call hardening of the arteries?

I don’t know.

This is why I bought a $90 phone last year when I was in the market for new one. I'm so indecisive these days, I guess it's my age, idk. I can't make up my mind.

Is 6gb ram that big of a difference?
What's the difference in 4g and 5g

I'm comparing Samsung A21 4g 128gb
And Samsung A32 5g 128 gb

I almost pulled the trigger on one today, but I want to stick with Samsung for now because my watch. Everything including my earbuds, works so well together I'd hate for it to not be seamless as it is.

That’s cardiovascular (heart+blood vessel) and cerebrovascular (brain+blood vessel) disease, starving cells downstream of adequate oxygen. Alzheimer’s is a condition of the nerve fibers in the brain, where they degenerate due to protein plaques (not blood-vessel plaques) and tau tangles. Sort of protein structures gone berserk. (Waving hands in the air a bit here.)

My mom has dementia due to hypertensive cerebrovascular disease, hardening of the arteries in her brain due to untreated hypertension, which has damaged and killed brain cells without ever having had strokes. (Push back and do more digging if your doc ever diagnoses “white-coat hypertension”. It might be the real thing. 😡) Her memory is shot, especially short-term, but her judgment is sound, and her emotions. Because of her memory deficits, she can no longer learn new things, such as self-care routines, but she’s mentally and emotionally pretty stable. She doesn’t have AD. Or if she does, it is a late-comer, with vascular dementia still dominant.

My MIL has AD. She periodically thinks my husband (her son) is her late husband. She used to have terrifying rages, until she just sort of zoned out. She once washed my cell phone when I left it on the kitchen counter while she was doing dishes, apparently thinking it was some sort of plate. We found it in the dish strainer. Lol. But no hardening of the arteries that we’re aware of. 1632187146358.gif

4G is fast, but 5G is a lot faster. While 4G wireless networks typically give you 30 Mbps speeds on mobile devices, 5G speeds can hit anywhere from 60 Mbps to 1,000 Mbps depending on where you are. ... 5G—the “fifth generation” of wireless technology—promises even better performance for cellular customers.Jul 1, 2021

@Behr

Real, true 5G is still a massive work in progress. The amount of antennae need for 5G across decent distances is insane (it’s an extremely high frequency, resulting in massively smaller wavelengths, so the signal doesn’t carry as far). It’s not even always accurate when your phone says it’s picking up 5G. It’s on your carrier’s 5G network, but you’re probably still on 4G.

The 6gb difference is kinda large if you’re storing a lot of photos, videos, or songs on your phone. If you’re just streaming videos and songs, not a big deal.

However, at some point Samsung will stop updating the older phone and you’ll be back in the market for a new phone again.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G (Unlocked)

The mint navy blue is awesome and like new get a otterbox black from Amazon to take care of it and maybe a screen protector and camera but it's water proof and you can use Google pay or samsung pay and you can tether it I can watch TV on mine and cast it to my car and TV and watch espn+ . I got to keep up with technology or you get older just like Google for the home it's the best.

Sorry. I was looking at that S20fe. Just can't do it.

Verizon.

Yeah, Bill and TFG helped me make my decision. I almost bought that one rocy but I don't need that much.

I'll be looking for another phone in 6 months probably anyway.

This is the info I needed.

Although I'm confused about the storage and ram. I want to download some movies and songs. I have 32 and 4 and it ain't enough. I thought going to 128 would be fine and staying at 4.

You need to talk with Verizon because they offer updates and the site I linked has Verizon version's.
