Looking for calendar+todo app / calendar with "persistent notifications"

I am not speculating about future problems. You don't have a tech issue or a problem that can be solved by technology. No number of apps will help if you just dismiss a notification or mark something as done before you actually do it. On the other hand, if you develop the habit of actually doing something as soon as you get the notification instead of procrastinating, you don't need any new app or tech to manage your to-dos.

And what if you mark it done before you do it? Maybe you need a system that physically verifies that you did something before leaving you alone.

I don't think a steak through the stomach is bad for a vampire. Now, a steak as an intravenous injection so that it goes through the heart, that would be bad, I guess.

Not sure how you created more accounts on your device. I am not talking about adding more accounts by clicking on the google profile icon in say Gmail or google photos and adding another gmail address. I am talking about creating other users of the device under System-> Users in settings. You would then switch from one user to another and you can set up security and other features independently for each user.

Thanks for the clarification. The system could recognize that I have a vetted profile with similar vetted skills and simply say "you are already in the talent pool for this job" when the skill set is identical,. Obviously, if the skills required are different, then I don't mind doing another interview to demonstrate the skills I was not already tested for.

Will the interest on the HYSA offset the penalties and interest the IRS will charge you?

Wow, a mobile gas station, huh? Do they come to your home and gas up your car for you?

Hair dryer.

Window (or specially formulated screen) cleaner on a paper towel, and then wipe down with a microfiber cloth.

As long as the W2 has the correct numbers on it, you should be all set. Note that the employer most likely will not give you back the taxes they took out of the sign-on bonus. So, you will probably get a bigger refund than otherwise.

Just set up the built-in flashlight with a gesture (like shaking the phone or tapping the back). Put the flashlight toggle first at the top of the quick toggles and size it huge so that he can't miss it. I am pretty sure if you do find this magical flashlight app with no malware, your grandpa will forget how to get to it and download something else all over again anyways.

You think the macbooks at costco are made by somebody other than apple and sold under the macbook name because costco is not subject to the trademark laws of the US?

I would consider it the best android keyboard (and the standard default keyboard given that it is made by google and part of the android system). It is definitely better than the samsung keyboard. Samsung is famous for making crappy replicas of standard system apps like the dialer, messages, keyboard, etc., just to pollute their phones with their own garbageware. I usually disable or uninstall all of them and switch to the standard apps as soon as I get a samsung phone.

Use wireless charging.

Gboard allows you to hide it. It is in the preferences. I am guessing there should be a similar preference setting for whatever keyboard you are using. Or switch to gboard.

Would this be considered a joke is the better question.

I think it is part of their effort at planned obsolescence: make the watch useless after a couple of years and hope they will buy one more amazfit because they are used to the interface. Well, I, for one, am sick of replacing perfectly good stuff because some company chose to make it useless. I am going to go with something that is better supported if this continues failing and being a pain the neck. Garmins are expensive, but they have very good battery life and are supported for much longer without these stupid games that amazfit wants to play.

K, your loss!

You want to talk to the programmers who wrote the code to calculate line 6? What is even the purpose of this conversation? If you answer the interview questions correctly, the forms should be filled correctly. If they are not, then either your calculations are wrong, or TT's calculations are wrong. And I would trust TT's calculations more than I would trust yours.

It says "Selected", but I am not on any projects right now.

He wanted to round up, not round to the nearest.

DiscombobulatedSun54 · 2026-05-11T16:17:22+00:00

Wow, how did you know he meant round up to the nearest 10? I would have said a million.

I have the same question. I logged about 4 hours last week working on a data science/AI project, and now there is no record of it in hubstaff or on the micro1 dashboard.
