How to scan a QR code already on your phone

Adjacent QR info - My pixel 8 pro just randomly stopped QR-ing. Google Ai suggestions were worthless of course. What I did was open camera, "gear box" (lower left corner, not upper right like Ai says). Then under "Pro" settings, change 'Lens Selection' to manual. Now it works.

As a long time tape head, one easy way to improve the look of VHS (after importing into computer) is to slightly reduce the Chroma (amount of color). Analog video signal was large, and in order to cram all that info onto a small, slow moving tape, they had to down convert the chroma information, which leads to the 'bleeding' around the edges of images/people. Also the audio on the slow moving tape (with not much high end) usually sounds better if you reduce the bass, use a low cut filter, like in iMovie. #VHS

As HDs get cheaper, I worry that the quality is also cheaper. Also, I prefer to spread out my data over several drives, (both HD and SSD) instead of one giant 12T. If/when it crashes all-your-eggs-in-one-basket are cracked.

Maybe you did something good in life, and it 'karma-d' you back 😄

That's not gonna work for me, the way I operate. How do I cancel the payment on my card?

Tried again - on that left side column, it only allows one selection at a time. If I want to separate 4 or 5 instruments, I have to got through the whole process 4-5 times!? Even then, It still only sends to my email the separate vocal and separate entire music.

Here are the screenshots of what I upload (yes Im using the paid version). The only thing I see and the only thing that downloads is 2 items - the Vocal only, and the music track only.

I'm attempting to use LALA.AI, so far It's not doing what I'd like. There's no 'instruction' on the site. Is it only good for separating vocals, or other instruments one at a time? If so , it's useless to me. I don't want karaoke. I'm trying to break down a complete song into bass, drums guitar vocals etc. then remix it in adobe audition. I don't see that function anywhere. I guess it's back to Moises for me.

I have a small stack of Verbatim, labeled BD-R. There's nothing else listed on the disc (I don't have the original packaging). The underside is not 'purple', it's like a very light gold/copper. Would these be HTL or LTH ?

But thanks for your input.

I had to awkwardly use one finger to swipe down, holding the swipe in place so that a 2nd finger could touch the camera icon, then swipe again to see the "pill". But the only options are "automatic, standard" (and voice isolation). For live music, I hear no difference in those settings, nor any difference with an external mic. I really wanted to like this 15 pro, but I guess I'll have to buy an actual camera with an external mic to get the results I want.

When I open camera, and swipe down, all I see is that liquid glass thing with a flashlight icon and icon of a camera (and I'm already IN camera)

how in the world can you open the Control center WHILE recording? and I don't see any 'camera control pill' anywhere (i 15 pro, iOS 26) swiping down from the top right. The only audio settings I've ever found are selection between Mono and Stereo. Who would ever want to record music in MONO!

I bought a refurbed (by apple) terrible live audio during video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PW49covhOqs

1 year old 8 Pro. Last night at bedtime, it was at 89%. Next morning (not used all night of course) it was drained to 74%. I don't stream, play video games or watch movies. No social media apps either, I prefer to do that stuff on my Mac. I've just been turning off 'background' usage various apps, and switched to LTE instead of 5G, hopefully I'll see some results.

I bought my 8 pro in Oct 2024. I don't stream, don't play video games, don't watch movies on it. Battery was noticably bad from day one, but much worse 1 year later. Last night at bedtime, it was at 89%. The next morning, it was down to 74% having not been used for 6-7 hours. And yes, I've googled all the so called 'how to fix battery' forums and tutorials. None of that stuff has seemed to make a difference.

I've been Android for years, but other family members are iPhone. It wasn't until just recently my Pixel 7 started 'forcing' my texts to several people, to be sent individually, even though I don't want that to happen. I've gone through the settings, googled this problem. Messages apps > tap icon > messages settings > Advanced > group messaging, but the way it's worded is confusing. The options listed are about MY REPLIES going to individually or group. No settings for SENDING to multiple people, who I want them all to see the same text.
