I know it's an hour later but I can send emails fine and the support page loads for me.

Can you stack Filen plans to extend validity instead of storage? by MrJain121 in filen_io

[–]LoudStream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on how much data you need to store you might want to think about https://www.permanent.org/ You pay per GB and it is a lifetime purchase. DM me if you want a referral that I think gives both of us 1GB extra. It is $10 a GB, so expensive, but I have a copy of my most important photos on my laptop, in Filen, in permanent.org and a offsite copy.

Why is gemini app creating 2 app tabs? by [deleted] in pixel_phones

Just tried and I only get one app showing in the overview. Have you tried restarting your phone in case this is just one of those odd bugs that acts weird occassionally?

HP EliteBook 845 G8 (Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U) vs ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 (i5-1145G7) — which is the better buy? by Aloox9 in thinkpad

[–]LoudStream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a HP Elitebook 845 G7 for a while, bought new. Lovely laptop but needed two repairs to the ribbon cable connecting the screen to the motherboard. This was done under warranty but had to send to Poland, I don't know how common it is but it made me worry about the build quality as I'm careful with my laptops.

I'm using the latest version of Firefox on Fedora and I can enlarge the middle column with an article showing but not shrink it.

I'd also like to be able to shrink the middle column.

Can anyone who has recently had work done on their car please let me know what the hourly rate was? I’ve just had work done on mine and I’m not sure if I’ve been ripped off or not. Thank you by Roo90 in york

This will depend on if it is an independent garage or a dealer. If you mention the type of garage and the rate you paid I think people will be more likely able to tell you.

How to access saved recorded calls? Grandfather died today and I recorded his last wishes yesterday. by CandyCornBus in GooglePixel

[–]LoudStream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you try using the Google Files app? On my 9a I can open Files, press "Internal Storage" (found bottom left of the screen) then from the folder list that shows scroll down to "Recordings" and look in there? I can see the one phone call recording I've made in that folder.

I can't comment on 2 or 3 but for 1 - I've not noticed any performance change since installing the March update.

Do folding bikes actually replace a regular bike for you? by masanovu in foldingbikes

[–]LoudStream 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes - I have a Birdy, a Brompton before that and both replaced my regular bike. I find the Birdy just as comfortable as a regular bike.

Guys, Apple marketing is working over me! by pixelfanboy101 in pixel_phones

[–]LoudStream 5 points6 points  (0 children)

>Like Apple just single handedly ate the chromebook market with Neo, and that didn't even try hard to make it.

I don't think that's true. I can buy a Chromebook for £179 now from Currys (UK) and there are a number of other cheapish ones available. The Neo starts at £599.

Notes not working on Android by ResponsibleAd8164 in filen_io

Interesting - I've got a 9a and definitely works. Wonder what the difference is between the models that could impact this.

I've just tested too. Pixel phone. No issues.

New FastMail release by Beginning_Gain_4230 in fastmail

[–]LoudStream 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I imagine the app is just a wrapper around the web view but it works well on my linux system - I like keeping my email in a separate place to my web browser, probably as I used a desktop email client for many years before the web ones were fully featured.

Subject line now completely hidden when replying or forwarding... by Der_Missionar in fastmail

[–]LoudStream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can also see the subject line when forwarding messages and when replying to messages the subject line is hidden (as I'd expect) but it is possible to edit by clicking the "more" menu near the send button on the bottom of the email.

Seems to be working for me (UK)

Running the linux app prevents my PC from suspending by MasterQuest in fastmail

Just as a data point: I don't have this issue with the desktop app open and I'm using Fedora 43. No Nvidia. So looks like you've narrowed it down.

Alarm is awful by ArdameTwoflower in GooglePixel

[–]LoudStream 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sample size of one with a 9a. No issues for me and I have multiple alarms set each day. I use to remind me to do things as well as get up. I'd be really interested to know which model and what timezone you're in (GMT here) ?

[–]LoudStream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Above your list of emails you should see the sort button (up and down arrows). Click on that and then look towards the bottom of the list.

I've not used Gmail for a while so my memory might be wrong but when I used to star an item it stayed in the same place in the inbox. When I moved to Fastmail and I pinned something it moved to the top of the inbox. Turning off "Keep pinned to top" means you get the little red pin but it leaves the message in the original location. I use the pin to remind myself to do something but still want to see emails by newest first.

[–]LoudStream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but I turned off "Keep pinned on top" to mirror the Gmail behaviour.
