shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

Your system is a POS.

I ordered one of these off Ali Express. An oscilloscope app showed it was about 40Hz vibration from the weight on the motor, far far from being ultrasonic. Got a refund, it ended up in the recycling.

I use Google Assistant a lot. I tried the Gemini Assistant on my phone and it was an exercise in frustration.

Me: (after pausing the tv) “Resume TV”

Google: (resumes playback on TV)

Gemini: “TV not recognised. Please say the device name” or even worse… “A resume is essential when you’re looking for a job in television. Your resume should blah blah…”

Me: (with phone locked) “set a timer for xxx”

Google: “setting a timer for xxx, starting now”

Gemini: “I’m unable to set timers, please unlock your phone, open xxx and (lengthy step by step instructions)”, or “setting a timer for yyy” (completely wrong time).

The caps lock thing hurts my feelings (ಥ_ʖಥ)

These have words but might still fit the other factors:

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen Horses - Patti Smith

“It’s terminal”

Where Boost goes, I go.

They made it crap a long time ago. The app takes forever to connect and view the camera. Really feels like abandonware, except for the ads to push you to buy more of their cameras or subscribe to their service. I’ve just cancelled my subscription. Moved to Tapo cameras, where the app connects nearly instantly… for now.

I’d say contribute some $ to free software, especially when it’s as good as uBO. However, even Gorhill doesn’t want money, but encourages contributions to filterlists.

Try the ready made options at https://rss-bridge.org/bridge01/ , and if your sites aren’t listed, you can use the “CSS Selector Bridge” option there.

My pleasure, let us know how you get on.

Good question… Accessible to all apps so you can copy, move, sync.

They’re just files saved to some location on the phone. So it’s as easy as copying or transferring any file.

That’s probably because you’re in a country whose CSC code allows recording.

I forgot to say… Samsung only! It’s a basic recorder, records automatically, no audible notification as far as I’m aware (that might depend on the CSC code you use and legal requirements of that country). Playback is from within the recent calls list.

SamFW Tool to the rescue! I changed my CSC code to INS which enabled call recording. Downside is that Samsung Pay is unreliable but not sure if that’s related to this change. Personally, I’d take call recording over Samsung Pay.

Thanks, I’ll bear this solution in mind if my printer outlives the driver support.

If you’re a light user, best to have a much stronger preference for laser printer. Inkjets use up that expensive ink to clean the nozzles between uses if you’re lucky, and will fully clog if you’re unlucky (I was unlucky twice and never again). I’m a light user and a laser printer can go for ages between printing.

If it’s got copying, it’ll have a scanner anyway.

I’ve got an HP that has served me well and my HP cartridges have lasted ages - not because they’re great or cheap, but because I print so little. At the time, I choose HP because it was more compact. Next time, I’ll definitely lean towards Brother laser on principle.

Also, on the “standard with ads” tier, they’ve removed the ability to chromecast.

Hey @turnerpike20@lemmy.ml OP, I saw this on Reddit and thought of you:

That I was more addicted to the breaks and deep breathing than I was to the nicotine.

…

Yes! Because what do you do when you smoke? You go outside and take intentional deep breaths and it relaxes you. So, I kept my full routine of breaks when I needed, went outside and took intentional deep breaths. Just this time without a cigarette. Quitting was SO EASY this time and zero cravings. Because it turns out, she was right.
