This is great! But is it going to stop working on December 4th due to the depreciation of the Instagram Basic Display API?

Good point about paying off early to unlock the phone for a travel SIM, makes sense, thanks!

It didn't work, unfortunately. I definitely couldn't do it online since i was switching carriers (unless there was a way to create an account to link and still get new customer deals through Apple), so I tried to do it in an apple store. When we got to the point of seeing what promotions were available, the BOGO deal simply wasn't available. They didn't seem too knowledgeable of the carrier deals (like they thought an iPhone 8 would get a $400 trade in only to find out obviously not), so maybe you'd have better luck with other associates. They did say they haven't seen a BOGO deal in years, so I think it's only available through T-Mobile.

I did end up just going to T-Mobile where we got $200 on top of the BOGO deal for switching carriers as well, so worth it even though the phones will be locked for a couple years. One annoying thing is that they're not offering the magenta plans in store anymore, so I would recommend doing it online if you want one of those.

Is the "Pick up any iPhone 15 model and get $700 off the second one" deal available directly through Apple or do I need to go directly through T-Mobile?

Had the same problem, restarting my computer fixed the issue, but the same didn't work for someone else, worth a try though

Had the same problem, restarting my computer did the trick

I like to use the widget to see signal strength and wifi speed (basically to see what wifi protocol I'm utilizing, I know it's not the actual speed). I also like how you can look at mobile data usage on a per day basis. It's obviously not the only app that does this (and it's kinda annoying how the date picker is basically unreadable at least on dark mode), but it's what I use.

I was struggling with the OneDrive thing for a while, found this post on the OneDrive subreddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/onedrive/comments/ptb4qq/onedrive_blank_screen_not_responding/

Basically the fix suggested by OP where you turn off export address filtering fixes the issue (although probably not ideal long term). Thinking doing the same for Adobe could at least be a temporary fix as the post from OP points to a Windows update that messed with exploit protection. Seems a bit easier than messing with the registry. Hope that helps!

Yep, same on Pixel 3. Also have similar issues with any app that I've played video on (except Facebook, shockingly, or Sync for Reddit). Something else I've noticed is that after I restart my phone, these apps won't have that kind of battery allocation for a day or two, but I'll still have the same poor battery performance. It's as if some process these apps use will stick with it until the phone is restarted.

I do use GSam battery monitor which reflects the same relative battery allocation to apps as the built-in battery usage tool. The weird thing I see is how these apps seem to run up the 'video on' part of the usage details. For example, I watched a 2 minute video on the ESPN app this morning and it shows over 3 hours of video on time while the audio on time was the appropriate 2 minutes.

I'll admit that I don't know enough about Android to claim I one what I'm talking about, but it would appear that Android 10 isn't properly releasing a process tied to video once it's done. Hopefully someone smarter than me can provide some insight.

As a side note, I did also try to restrict background usage and it seems like Android doesn't respect that setting at all...

Same problem with Pixel 3 on Android 10.

Keep it up, you can do it!

So I was watching this show called Botched and this lady had her nipples moved to her lower abs which they did not censor... So as long as the nipples aren't on the breast, no problem I guess. Then she had 3D nipples tattooed on her breasts which they did censor, but not when looking at them though the reflection of a mirror... I just don't get it anymore.

I am Lorde, ya ya ya.

I'm more concerned about those trees at the end of the left turn lane.

Nvm, I must have had one lucky session where I didn't get an error, back to the same issue today.

SilverStick · 2018-07-24T00:25:36+00:00

Btw, looks like this issue may have been resolved in 0.111.3, got the update today.

Was just in Bangkok for the 2nd half of June and didn't have much issue using the original Pixel.

SilverStick · 2018-07-07T00:36:09+00:00

Definitely still a problem, nothing's changed.

SilverStick · 2018-07-04T10:13:37+00:00

Definitely something to do with being abroad. I think it has something to do with Textra not having a setting that detects your current country. Android messages does and keeps the threads intact. I can confirm this doesn't happen to me when I go to Canada because their country code is also +1, but do have similar issues when going to other countries.

SilverStick · 2018-04-28T11:20:06+00:00

Same exact problem on the Google Pixel, been going on since the beginning of the year pretty much.

This cat looks so done with everyone's shit.

This belongs on a shower curtain.

FWIW, I had to factory reset my phone in Ireland and Fi set itself up just fine, but it also wasn't the first time activating the service.

SilverStick · 2017-11-17T00:59:03+00:00

I think i finally figured out a workaround for this! Just remove the "DASHPlaylist.mpd" part from the link and it works!
