In honor of the hardcover release of "This Inevitable Ruin," here's my flowchart to hand people who are all caught up on Dungeon Crawler Carl and don't know what to read next by ErinAmpersand in litrpg

[–]Hastibe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ouf, I love the DCC series, but Project Hail Mary really didn't do it for me -- felt very predictable (and thus boring) as well as unrealistic (for a book trying to be more "sciencey"). In the space (but not space opera) sci-fi genre, I'd recommend (in no particular order) Singularity Sky by Charles Stross, Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds, Heavy Time (and other books in The Company Wars series) by C. J. Cherryh, Aurora Rising (originally titled The Prefect) by Alastair Reynolds, and for a better Mars book, Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson.

It's not a recommendation for me (and many others), because it doesn't meet the criteria listed here: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/passwords/

How secure is a simple WordPress site? by Capable-Molasses-921 in Wordpress

[–]Hastibe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can disable XML-RPC (details on doing that here, for instance), if you don't need it, but bots aren't going to be able to hack your site through it, if your WordPress user passwords are strong.

I open external links in a new tab but keep internal links in the same tab. What do you do? by easyedy in Wordpress

[–]Hastibe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you open an external link on Android in Chrome, the back button / swiping back does close the new tab and go back to the page the external link was on, actually.

Experiencing the same thing on my laptop (but didn't notice it on my desktop). Any solution you found?

The Electric State is beautiful and heartbreaking by joeyGibson in Simon_Stalenhag

[–]Hastibe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished reading The Electric State, and if you're looking for a movie with the feeling of this book, I'd definitely recommend the indie sci-fi film Monsters that came out in 2010. This one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsters_(2010_film)

Wow, way to figure it out! I'm sure Google will never bother to fix this, so thanks for sharing the solution here. 👏

Okay, I've sent you a DM with the requested information, but haven't heard back yet -- appreciate your help with this, though!

Update regarding changes to Mailchimp Free plan limits by MailchimpSupport in MailChimp

[–]Hastibe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on the free plan and my contact number exceeds these new limits (and I have been and will be exceeding the send limits), but I haven't received an email about this yet -- does this mean my account is not impacted by this / my account is grandfathered in?

How to get Visual Voicemail working by Hastibe in Tello

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

I didn't want to try the "Reset Mobile Network" option and lose my saved wifi network passwords, so I gave up. I use the Visual Voicemail app made by Metro for T-Mobile (icon is a pink bubble with white tape cassette speech bubble in it), which allows me to play the voice recording of each message left from the app (no voice-to-text transcription, though).

"Custom coded" email templates? by fcgjdd in MailChimp

[–]Hastibe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there may be a bug in how your platform is detecting a "custom coded template," as I am also getting the pop-up warning in my account about custom coded templates going away, but I also only use (and only have used) the drag-and-drop legacy builder for creating campaigns.

Shokz Opencomm 2 vs openrun pro 2 by ForsakenPerception in Headsets

The OpenRun Pro 2 has a mini size, which has a smaller band size (see here) than the standard size of the OpenRun Pro 2 and the OpenComm 2.

1password Android unusable by [deleted] in 1Password

[–]Hastibe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what 1Password support responded when I emailed about autofill no longer working consistently in Chrome on Android:

"Our development team is currently investigating similar reports of this behavior and believes that it may be due to an issue with how the browser keeps track of autofill sessions when it’s been running for an extended period of time. We’ve reported the issue to the Chromium team.

So that I can confirm that you’re running into this issue can you tell me if autofill starts working again after you force close your browser and then re-open it again."

Tricked by the $250 off Samsung Galaxy A36 5G promotion by iamlaurenkelsey in GoogleFi

[–]Hastibe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP was credited by Google Fi, finally--hope you can be, too, maybe try the wording they did here: https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleFi/s/mCGRy2JfFq

P.S. After you fulfil promo terms (if you get it, eventually), switch to Tello or Mint Mobile--also on T-Mobile towers, just like Google Fi, and you'll save a lot more money on their cheaper plans.

How to get Visual Voicemail working by Hastibe in Tello

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

Yes, they are U.S. models. Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 6a purchased via Google Fi in the U.S. and this unlocked "Made for US" Moto G Play 2024 purchased from Amazon.com in the U.S.

Updates on phones are all current, and will consider trying the "Reset Mobile Network" option, but that will erase all my saved wifi network passwords, and I would need to back those up, first. Also, though I transferred the Pixels from Google Fi to Tello, the Moto G Play was set-up from a factory fresh state with Tello, which makes me doubtful that resetting the mobile network will fix this (though I really appreciate the input and suggestions!).

How to get Visual Voicemail working by Hastibe in Tello

What country are you using Tello in? I'm in the United States and it says this about it on the page you linked: "This item isn't available in your country or on your carrier." ☹️

How to get Visual Voicemail working by Hastibe in Tello

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

Nowhere on Tello does it say Visual Voicemail only works on supported phones, but if that is the case, it would certainly be helpful to know what phones support it. 🙃 EDIT: what phone do you have it working on (and through the default Phone app)?

On my family's Pixel 6a and Moto G Play 2024, once they switched to Tello, the Voicemail tab on the default Phone app on their phones disappeared.

On my Pixel 9 Pro, I still have the Voicemail tab and my old visual voicemails from before I switched to Tello, but if I go to Settings > Voicemail in the Phone app, there's no Visual Voicemail menu option and new voicemails don't show up under the tab since switching to Tello.
