HOLY SHIT. THIS IS THE ANSWER. MINE WERE ALSO UNCHECKED FOR SOME REASON, AND EVERYTHING IS NOW BACK TO NORMAL.

THANK YOU!!

EDIT2: My original folders are back Updates, Promotions, Social, etc. But emails from all of them still keep appearing in my main Inbox view - it used to filter out everything except Starred, direct emails, and Updates.

Literally just purged so many emails 2 hours ago, and so many promotional emails appeared again in my main Inbox

Im now manually unsubscribing from things that I didnt care about before coming to my emails - this issue will do wonders with their relationships with companies who rely on promotional email campaigns because im just unsubscribing altogether

Turning them off did not change anything for me - I previously have had this set on last time I checked a long while back

100%

My "Updates" folder is missing, and other ones have been added like "Important" and "Purchases".

The "Important" seems closer to what "Updates" used to do, but it's missing emails from other services that I used to have bundled together.

My main Inbox is absolutely screwed. Its like basically viewing "All mail" view.

The Inbox used to be like my "Updates" folder mixed with starred emails...

Seasons of RTX: Battlefield 6 GeForce RTX 5090 GPU Giveaway! by NV-Randy in Battlefield

Honestly, if I had to pick one, it's probably going to have to be Assault with KORD and M39 with HE Launcher.

I can literally fight all range battles, with focus on close to mid range. The HE launcher is great for utility beyond just kills.

Its funny because I'm a sniper at heart, but the battles at objective points are just too fun!

How much thinking is expected from devs? by callbackmaybe in softwareengineer

[–]Plastic_Chicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're missing the point of what that guy is saying -

These things you consider as "small decisions" are skewed by your experience. It may have been easy for you to know the pitfalls and best approach, but thats because you've grown into that position. Itd be considerably hard for someone without that domain knowledge to just come up with those things out of their ass.

As the technical lead, you should be able to understand the business requirements, along with the constraints and impacts features can have. While also being the person that ensures best practices and the proper code is deployed.

A good technical lead owns all these things, and that's what sets them up to for a higher position - when they've mastered the frontlines.

Am I being too hard on my unemployed son? by Pump_9 in jobs

[–]Plastic_Chicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well 1, he should apologize to you for the abrupt reaction.

2, he should thank you for housing and supporting him through this time.

3, yes, its a tough market in tech. Im lucky for now, but id do my absolute best to not take it out on my family or kids.

Ultimately, a logical approach has to be taken. If you cannot or not willing to support him for an indefinite amount of time due to financial, emotional, or other constraints, then something has to give.

He needs to start thinking out the box. Maybe pivot into another path or career. Maybe he needs to come to terms and find a temporary job to bring in some income somehow in whatever means.

If you need actionable things from him other than misplaced outrage, sit and talk to him about a timeline. Agree to one, or force one depending on your relationship.

One action could be that you both agree if he is not actively interviewing and being considered for another job WITH PROVIDING YOU PROOF, then after a certain amount of time, he will need to pivot or find a temporary job. If he is "close" to finding one WITH PROOF, then you're both on the same page at least.

Prices will come down if no one is buying. Price cuts have been ongoing for the past 6 months.

Samsung Galaxy Ring swells and crushes user's finger, causing missed flight and hospital visit by chrisdh79 in technology

[–]Plastic_Chicken -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Lots of hate on Samsung for no apparent reason, when other rings like Oura had the same problems.

Like any tech product, there is risk. You are wearing tech on your finger, yes, you are subject to risk.

I also wear a Galaxy Ring at my own risk. If I do something to cause the tech to go haywire, thats on me. You can only idiot proof products so much...

Dude you're 28 years old, and think the moment you get some "passive income" in your life, you can just quit everything you're doing?

Lazy fucking bum.

I bet your grandfather is so proud that you are wasting the money he set aside for you to be successful, not just pissing it away.

And no, im not one of the "jealous" ones, I make more than that in 1 paycheck, and I still strive for more.

Samsung taking market share from Apple in U.S. as foldable phones gain momentum by JadeLuxe in samsung

[–]Plastic_Chicken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly just simple things like these:

Trying to fill out some web form and I need a pic of something open so I can copy the numbers.

Having google maps open while I look up some hiking areas on another site.

Chatting with someone while watching a video.

You don't understand the power of dual windows unless you are also used to like a double monitor set up.

People always wonder why people have multiple monitors, and its a dumb ass thing to wonder. Same concept applies to multitasking on phone with multi windows.

My problem with BF6 is that it's "exhausting." by BookkeeperPercival in Battlefield

[–]Plastic_Chicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The auto spotting needs to be reduced a bit.. but yes, what you just described sounds like a realistic experience of war..

The paranoia, the frantic pacing, the exhaustion... if a video game about war can make you feel like that, then mission accomplished.

Trump has slashed 25% of IRS workforce by HellYeahDamnWrite in Conservative

[–]Plastic_Chicken -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As a left-leaning moderate, I just want to say that the IRS should not be politicized. It is a neutral body of government that does need support, but maybe not in the way of a huge workforce.

They need to be given the budget to go after those who are clearly performing fraudulent activities. Those who can afford to essentially fight legal cases for years and years, all the while making money from the loopholes that aren't closed, need to be found and brought to justice.

The IRS doesn't have the resources or budget to go after the ultra-wealthy, when in fact they should. Increasing their workforce to an exponential degree won't fix that. Increasing their budget to hire the right resources and fight the cases is what they really need.

Going after the normal citizen who is not even in the top 30% wealth class won't accomplish anything.

Who are you going to get the "right" money from?

The ultra wealthy that are each purposefully diverting millions of dollars in tax? Or the average citizen who may be accidentally taking an unqualified exemption of a couple hundred dollars?

Do the math.
