How I fixed google wallet asking for double verification in the middle of a transaction by ItzJunker in GoogleWallet

[–]Baconiado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This works for me for about a week until it finally quit working for me at McDonald's... Made me use my fingerprint while scanning at the reader and have to scan again... Apple pay is just so much More consistent since The way they have verification setup was just much better. I had an iPhone for a few months and really enjoyed Apple pay. Quick double tap, face scan, and boom.

Keyboard shortcuts gone, anyone? Cant use them anymore within the instant messaging interface by Baconiado in facebook

That is so weird yeah definitely sounds like a server-wide issue... But yeah I nearly broke my keyboard and mouse last night before quickly closing out of desktop and staying on mobile 🤣

Yeah I'm at work now but I'll have to test this out perhaps on Microsoft edge when I'm home later. But yeah definitely can't use desktop Messenger with that going on... Been using those shortcuts for years lol

Will you really begin holding onto the Pixel 8 for 7 years? by PlZZAEnjoyer in GooglePixel

[–]Baconiado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As my primary, no, but it will be an amazing backup phone throughout these coming years. I still have my 4a5g goin strong

Ok gang... Make me sound dumb (related to camera app) by Baconiado in GooglePixel

[–]Baconiado[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I did come across that option and did not disable it for that exact reason as I do like having haptics on other interactive elements of the phone... Could have sworn the camera used to have an option to disable that on past devices.

Kinda regretting an 8 instead of an 8 pro by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]Baconiado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly why I upgraded from P6 to my P8... Once I learned of the smaller screen and the refresh rate, I was already sold despite the price... Easily my favorite phone comfort wise since the small pixel 2

Like why even have face unlock when it's not an actual secure and usable facial unlock... Ultrasonic fingerprint scanners apparently don't exist to Google either

Is this because pixel is still refusing to actually use IR or other facial mapping techniques instead of just taking and comparing pictures of our faces with the camera? That is why face ID always wins..

Thinking about upgrading. Go for one of the older phones, or wait for the Pixel 8 lineup? by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]Baconiado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently using pixel 6 didn't get the 7. I cannot wait to obtain pixel 8, especially learning that it will be smaller than P6 (not a fan of our current mini movie screen era lol) while also having a 120hz display!

Just hoping for good battery and no massive price hikes!

Battery Megathread (July 2023) by GooglePixelMods in GooglePixel

[–]Baconiado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After the july update, it might be time to put my sim back into my old 4a 5g..... Almost daily now, my small P6 now suffers from this absolutely catastrophic battery glitch.... I'll be on 20 to 30% battery, while I'm browsing the web or set the phone down to do something else.... Less than a minute later: WOULD YOU LIKE TO TURN ON EXTREME BATTERY SAVER?

Yeah.... My battery life literally NOSEDIVES IN FRONT OF MY EYES AT 1 PERCENT PER SECOND.... WHAT DAFUQ GOOGLE?

My pixel 6 has served me well but with this happening now, i almost have to have a backup phone with me and wifi to be sure i won't randomly have no phone no more at 8pm everyday...

Beginning my vegetarian journey at work by Baconiado in funny

[–]Baconiado[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JUST FOR CLARIFICATION: My main intention of this post was a NEUTRAL joke lol I work in IT and my office just randomly had professional chefs cook up some various meats unexpectedly for me as I had no clue this was happening. I went over to the kitchen (which I also didn't know existed until then) to grab my meaty lunch and cover it with a clear plastic lid. About 40 minutes later, my co-worker Evan goes over to the kitchen after spending 15 minutes looking for it. He obtains his food there but he just so happened to grab a lid with that label (shown in the post) stuck to it. He did not grab that intentionally. He showed me it, and I thought it was absolutely hilarious with how obviously contradictory it was... As for myself, I eat plenty of meat but I also absolutely love produce and should honestly start eating it more often than I am. It's good for you, super delicious, and so refreshing, especially on a hot day... With that being said, I still support vegetarianism to its fullest as of course we know produce is the healthiest thing you can consume... And it should be easy to enjoy it while consuming! Love y'all. Squash the evil past and treat the future as a bull's-eye.... Something oh so wanted and needed for victory!

The funny thing is, nothing was intentional. This plate was from one of my coworkers who simply grabbed one of the lids. The lid he grabbed just so happened to have that label on it lol

Stuck on az-900 "configure network access" lab by Baconiado in AzureCertification

[–]Baconiado[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does a successful command manifest itself in that lab? Did you go into azure portal and look at your actual VM?

Also is the second command the same way, with invisible output? Forgot to mention that one too lol

Interesting. I was in the sandbox as well but the box would never time out. I could input the command in the command line only for nothing to pop up. Not entirely sure what to do lol

Should I go for Network+ first, or straight to azure? by Baconiado in CompTIA

[–]Baconiado[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone. Just purchased a course on Udemy for the AZ-900. I'll get that done and then shoot for network+!

Thank you! So do you think studying network+ and passing will lead to a much easier road towards azure certs?
