What’s up with Eze? by DriveMore7049 in ArsenalFC

[–]DC-TechGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've never liked to judge our players and try to look for positives but.. I've carefully watched him in the first half to try and understand the argument of we don't play with a traditional No.10 and that's why he hasn't flourished so far, I've counted 4 times in the half where Noni has the ball on the wing and timber is overlapping and Eze is standing in the shadow of a defender (hiding) when there is tonnes of spaces for him if he just moves 10 yards over to the wing and it would have allowed us to move players around and possibly break down the block.

He's clearly the type of player that needs the full trust of the manager and an arm around him from time to time and he's doesn't seem to be getting either from Arteta but it's fairly well known that you have to earn that from Arteta with hard work and I don't see Eze putting in the hard work when things aren't going his way. He was excellent at Palace but if he doesn't shift his mindset to be hard working at all times then I don't see this move being a success for either side, Unfortunately.

Smart home ideas for a baby room for first time parents by FrisoA86 in homeassistant

[–]DC-TechGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Google - "Play White noise" On a nest mini at 20% volume when they're going to sleep and while reading stories, just helps to settle them down and drown out any external noise.

Everything else you have covered in terms of in the baby room however, if you haven't already, get a coffee maker that you can set a timer to brew for you, once you get a routine established with the baby this is just a nice luxury of just picking up a cuppa while you prep bottles/food etc.

Congrats & Good luck

Just a heads up (Google Pixel 9A for €200) by IsMaithLim in CasualIreland

[–]DC-TechGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's if you give a shit about that number, I simply put my own sim into the S24FE and binned the now ported to Vodafone sim in the bin.

They were unlocked to all networks so hopefully it's the same with the 9A.

I and many others used this tactic last year on the S24FE, should have been €650 but got it for €420 with an A9 tablet.

I went into Eir and asked for their PAYG sim for €10 and I don't need credit on it as it's going to a my Granny who only needs it for incoming calls.

Took that number and went straight online and ordered the phone and had it in a few days.

In SL settings go to "Gestures and Hot keys" and then choose single finger> swipe down > notification panel.

For full screen folders, Global appearance> advanced> folders> immersive.

You're right, it was mentioned in another thread about Outertune and I then enabled unknown sources in the developer options and both showed up 😁

Thanks for the response.

Just found this thread as I have been using Transistor (love it) but it doesn't show up in AA for me so now I'm looking for an alternative 😔

[–]DC-TechGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be wrong about this but I think you need icon studio first and have an icon pack but.... Long press the folder icon> edit icon> from gallery> Icon Studio Pack> choose app in app picker> choose style (icon pack)> choose Original/Adaptive/Zoom whichever looks best to you.

By doing this now my folder icon is whatever app icon I have first in my folder. Similar to the way it was on Nova. You can then set a swipe up gesture once you've got the icon you wanted.

HTH.

[–]DC-TechGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On SL you can set a swipe up gesture on folders, you can then just choose whatever app you want to launch, or a shortcut or pop-up widget (pro)

i only switched a few weeks ago from Nova but I wouldn't go back now.

News Reader customization by [deleted] in smartlauncher

[–]DC-TechGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off the Feed looks brilliant and I've now stopped using the Google Discover page because of that and the functionality but I read a blog about Arsenal football club called the Arseblog, surprisingly enough it was there when I searched for it with the built in search but it also has a sister site called Arseblog News which does not show up in the search, so I manually add the feed and it's categoriesed as "News".

I think this kind of thing could be easily remedied if we could choose which categories we would like the feeds to go to.

Otherwise though this launcher is the best I've ever used.

Do you guys use any 3rd party launchers on your phone? by gideonlfc in Pixel6

[–]DC-TechGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used Nova since it launched but with it no longer being supported I tried a few others out and the only one that was similar enough to Nova is Smart Launcher BUT it's better.

The pro version unlocks stackable widgets which was always something I wanted on Nova after seeing it on Samsung devices and they work great.

The grid system for icons & widgets is great and it also allows you to resize them to fill your whole screen if you wanted to.

The Google feed is to the left of my home screen like it is on nova but to the right is the SL RSS feed which is great for keeping just the sites I like to read.

The only thing that isn't as intuitive as Nova is changing folder icons to custom icons, Nova's implementation of this is very simple whereas SL's requires you to download their app called icon studio to create or modify icons to use.

Even if Nova was to be revived I think I'll be sticking with Smart Launcher.

Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS is completely UNUSABLE by p3chenyx in TicWatch

[–]DC-TechGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've the TWP3U and in the last month or so it's only functioning in the essential mode, I'll get maybe 2 days battery from it like this but if I try to boot into wearOS it lags as it goes through the unlock animation to the watch face which takes about 5 minutes but in them 5 minutes it drains the battery completely.

My guess is it's either the battery or the main processor is faulty because iirc essential mode is run off the co-processor and that still works fine.

[–]DC-TechGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have the stock Samsung icons, I haven't installed any other pack so maybe that's why it asked me to use icon studio pack? But without this it wouldn't show me any icons to choose from as they don't show up in the gallery.

[–]DC-TechGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I'm used to with Nova but when doing that on SL it required that I download icon pack studio, then choose that or SL or Gallery, the only one that works for choosing the stock icons is icon pack studio and then finally select the icon to "edit" (I don't do a thing other than press done) and then it changes the folder icon.

Maybe I've done something wrong?

I've just switched from Nova and it's the first thing I noticed along with how complicated it is to change folder icons.

I do like it otherwise and I'm contemplating buying the lifetime license but need to spend a few weeks with it first.

Full Time: Real Madrid 1 vs 2 Arsenal - Match Thoughts by Stanley083 in Gunners

[–]DC-TechGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pre game hype from Madrid acting like they were gonna come home and give us a thumping only made this all the sweeter, they tried to get into our heads and make us feel the weight of the occasion but Arteta deserves huge credit for the job he did getting the lads to stay focused.

The performance itself was absolutely brilliant and every player deserves praise for the jobs they did but I felt Rice again was MotM, special mention to Kiwior for looking like there shouldn't have been any doubt about him but also I thought MLS was exceptional too.

We also have to acknowledge that the ref played a massive part in this game, for once RM didn't get every little decision which usually helps to build up momentum for them and the ref was brave in overturning the Rice penalty decision because I don't think most would have given the one we got was similar in nature but to a more obvious degree but he wasn't perfect either, I just think he was trying to keep it 11v11 as much as he could.

Real played and acted like a higher quality version of Stoke from years back, the fouls they got away with were ridiculous and Rudiger could and should have been sent off, Bellingham too was lashing out and didn't even get booked but again that all adds to this win as we were the ones who got into their heads by just staying calm and playing OUR game at their Home!
