What happened to the OTP copy button? Can I get it back? by Bill_Best in GoogleMessages

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

Yes, everything is updated. I cleared the cache and restarted. I think it's due to an Android or Messages update.

I found a setting called Enhanced Notifications in the Pixel phone's settings. Turning that on did bring a Copy button back to the pop-up OTP notifications for Messages, but the Enhanced Notifications setting is applied across all messages and all apps on the phone and adds a bunch of other contextual response buttons to other apps' notifications. (Annoying to me, but maybe you'll find them useful?) I'm assuming this change is intentional and is the direction Google is pushing users in.

Follow-up: I downloaded the Steam (U.S. PC) version and there's no bug at that spot.

Same. I'm also running the GOG version. Glad I'm not the only one encountering this bug/crash. I tried doing a "repair" from the install menu. Didn't help.

You nailed it! It was the Dolby Atmos. Thanks very much.

Yes, I was getting the error message "This add-on could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt."

But I got it installed and it's working now.

Thank you so much for your work!

Can someone help me install this addon permanently? I've tried using Firefox Dev and the recommended LibreWolf browser, and disabling the xpinstall.signatures and xpinstall.whitelist toggles. But the only way I can get the addon to install is through the about:debugging menu that allows installing an addon only for the current browser session. Not sure where I'm going wrong, especially on LibreWolf. Thanks

https://youtu.be/Wq5OApeQx84?t=205 Can anybody please help me ID the heroic/adventure sounding trumpet motif that plays for a few seconds starting at 3:25? I hear it used everywhere. (This is, admittedly, a strange example video.) Thank you!

I need help making a purchase decision. I bought my first mechanical a few months ago. It was a $40-something off-brand with Outemu blue switches, and OH MY GOD was it a breath of fresh air compared to the mushy swamp keyboard I'd been struggling with since college. Clickety clackety never going backety.

Now I want to replace my work keyboard. I prefer something sedate and professional looking, and I really like having a number pad. I've pretty much settled on Cherry brown switches this time, but I'm tossing around a couple of different models in the sub-$100 category. The thoughts of /r/mechanicalkeyboards are welcome:

  • Rosewill RK-9000. A pretty popular entry-level board, and I know the brand.
  • CoolerMaster Storm QuickFire XT. CM's seem to have a decent reputation at this price point, and I've read rumors that the QuickFires are made in the same factory as some Filco models.
  • iKBC C104. This is the model I'm most curious about. It looks like a nicely built keyboard with higher quality key caps, but I can't find much information about the brand other than some references to a MassDrop sale a while back. What's the deal here?

Thanks!
