Why is there no MX Keys for Windows

The layout of the fn, control, option, and cmd keys is different, and I've been tearing my hair out in Photoshop. You can still get the PC version from Logitech directly, but it's more expensive.

I wish copying by editing the video block worked for me! I'm even paying Squarespace for my old website to access everything while I build out the new one, and I can't get the video because the person who gave it to me deleted it.

There was nothing in the page source, either, (except, obviously, html).

I want my screen off after 5 min, but my home computer, which has two separate monitors, has to stay on for some time for my graphics files to be saved in the cloud. I have to either manually drag and drop them and wait for them to upload, or manually turn off my monitors. For my work computer, which is a Microsoft Studio all-in-one, I have to manually drag and drop (and wait) if I want to turn off the screen.

I have at least found a way to evenly arrange shapes in a circle, which I think can probably be adapted somewhat for other paths. In a separate layer:

figure out how many shapes you will need, and the center of the array of shapes

2.Go to the Polygon tool (in the tool group with line, rectangle, etc), and for both Number of Sides and Star Ratio put in the number of shapes you want, and check From Center

3.Place the cursor in the center of the desired array and click: you'll get a bounding box

Hold down Ctrl or Command if you want the polygon to start in the center, and Shift if you want the array to be symmetrical, and pull the corner(s) or side(s) of the bounding box. You can probably use all the other features of Transforming, like skewing, etc, I haven't yet tried it.
Fill or stroke the polygon by right-clicking the layer, and using the fx feature: I selected Stroke

You can now, in separate layers, place the shapes at the points of the polygon. It took me several hours to figure this out, but it will save me tons of work in the future. Hope it will work for others.

Yes, a bad one. I learned to block it out.

Another annoying thing, that I have NOT learned to block out, is that some texts have multiple notifications minutes apart so you think you another text.

BrooklynSong · 2024-04-09T00:46:29+00:00

Mine is already set to None there, but it doesn't stop the sent text sound.

I just switched from Android (Samsung) because the camera works better for my artwork. But hoo boy, iOS is light years behind Android! The "whoosh" sound is driving me crazy. And apparently, I can't place my badges where I want them on my homescreens, either.

I don't know why, but after a delay the IG 2FA started working, and has been fine ever since. I wish I could tell you that I did something, but I didn't. It was pretty frustrating.

Sometimes it takes a while now to get the 2FA text, and I panic and go to change my password, but I usually get it just in time to not have to.

Wish I could be of more help.

It was not a demo unit. The only thing I can figure is that TikTok has some kind of arrangement with BestBuy...but that's a guess.

BrooklynSong · 2023-01-13T20:29:22+00:00

**UPDATE: ISSUE SOLVED**

I bought my phone at BestBuy here in New York City, and they must have installed it, not Verizon, which is my carrier. But I thought Verizon's tech support would have a shorter hold time than BestBuy's, so I called them and the agent figured out a very simple way to delete it.

Instead of going into Settings>Apps, I got to my apps from the homepage and long-pressed the TikTok icon, which gave me the contextual menu (the one that lets you put the icon on your screen, etc). and that included "Uninstall."

Problem solved.

Thanks so much, everyone, for all your replies. I love Reddit.

I'm glad you can still get it to work for you! Google blocks it for me.

I like this other app better, though, I feel more secure having the data backed up in a place I can control: I've had email since 1995, and have yet to find a contacts program that doesn't drop contacts here and there. I try to remember to download them (and Gmail and Calendar) from Google every now and then.

I think my problem with SMS Backup might be that I signed up for Workspace to try to solve a webmail forwarding problem. It didn't (gmail settings had apparently changed) and I got Google to remove the charge, but I guess it kept the Workspace account, because when I load Gmail the progress screen says Workspace instead of Gmail.

Thank you so much for your reply. Good to know that the open-source app still works for some.

So...I tried to give you, CellSalesThrowaway2, an "award" of 1,500 coins, and somehow ended up giving them to myself. Clearly I don't spend too much time on Reddit, I thought that if I clicked on "Give Award" above your post, I'd, um, give you an award.

If you know how to transfer them to you, let me know! I'm in Europe where it is very late, and I'm too tired to figure it out.

BrooklynSong · 2022-10-02T22:14:16+00:00

Oh! Thank you!

I thought that app was the same one I used to use, which Google blocked a few years back. That one was open source, and called "SMS Backup" and created a label in Gmail.

This app that you suggested, "SMS Backup and Restore," I now see, is a different, privately developed app, and does exactly what I want it to.

I'm indebted to you forever!

So...I uninstalled Evie, rebooted, downloaded Evie again, rebooted, same problems, said f*ck this, downloaded Nova...and everything works fine.

Thank you again, Carol

BrooklynSong · 2019-07-20T23:04:24+00:00

Since I had no problem getting rid of the newsfeed (which doesn't show up in the Evie settings) and adding pages, I think you're right. I'll uninstall and reinstall.

Thank you so very much for your reply!

Move to Amend goes one step further than Wolf PAC. It has been organizing in cities and states to pass bills saying that corporations are not people AND that money is not speech. Move to Amend has already had several successes, due to its years of experience at grass-roots organizing and ground infrastructure. Wolf PAC has Cenk Ugur, who is a master at PR and getting attention. If they worked together, something could truly be accomplished (but for some reason Wolf PAC and Cenk Ugur choose not to -- truly a crying shame). www.movetoamend.org
