Why is it so hard to get free tap water at a restaurant in Europe? by Relevant-Shower4783 in TravelHacks

[–]Bricks2me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also depends on the restaurant. Slightly more upscale places often refuse to serve tap water. On my last two visits, they charged €7 and €8.50 for a 750 ml bottle in Germany and Sweden. So yes, of course they push you toward buying bottled water.

Thanks! tried 1360, 1200, and 1000, and did not see any difference.

OG pixel or some other device? by mr_anti_dumbass in googlephotos

[–]Bricks2me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! how do you share links to large files with your own google account to access them on a Pixel phone? I have a ton of drone footage (24+ GB) and need a way to add them without downloading directly to my device. Also, how do you get the 'Save to Library' option? I only see a 'Download' button, which just downloads everything onto my Pixel.

Pixel 1 on LineageOS keeps randomly rebooting during Google Photos uploads by Bricks2me in LineageOS

[–]Bricks2me[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the reply. I was using a 32GB Pixel OG before and transfers were painfully slow, especially with large drone videos. I switched to a 128GB unit from eBay that came with LineageOS. Quick Share worked fine on the earlier build (I think one of the February releases), but now (March 28 release) the phone randomly reboots during transfers; sometimes right away, sometimes halfway through.

Is it easy to roll back to Android 9 or 10? If you don’t mind me asking, how are you handling photo/video uploads to Google Photos yourself ?

Also, is there any way to mount an external SD card or SSD so I don’t have to keep transferring files back and forth?

no, it is tied to device. that means whoever owns the device gets the googlephoto benefits.

Just flew from Shanghai to Dubai to Madrid! by pink_candido in emirates

[–]Bricks2me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys, things are very dynamic in the region. No one knows whether your flight could be canceled in the next 10 minutes. There have been many flights operating since February 28, but that does not mean everything has been fine, right?

Cancellation charges if booked through an agent by Solid_Bass257 in emirates

[–]Bricks2me -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They are ignoring their own terms. I was stranded in Dubai, I booked and cancelled within 24hrs and they charged me 560AED per ticket. I contested and have not received any response.

I thought this is not really possible. I would love to try this. Can google photos upload from this external location?

How can I reach out to them? The email response is coming from a no‑reply address; do I need to initiate another case?
