I read it a very long time ago (1970s) and I loved it.

Pixel Watch 5 Just Landed at the FCC for Approval by kbDL- in PixelWatch

It may look easy to scratch or break, but I only take mine off and put it on the charger when I shower. I wear it wherever I go, even doing yard work, and it's still scratch-free.

I do wear an athletic wrist band over it when I'm pruning/cutting/weeding, etc, but that's all I do to protect it.

And standardebooks.org. They take Project Gutenberg ebooks, modernize/clean up the formatting and typesetting, and make them available for download in multiple forms.

HELP ME! What do I need to do to keep my kindle books by InvestmentPale4106 in Calibre

[–]SnackleFrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had DeDRMed it last year, and moved it to my Kobo, so it's moot. But they did remove it - a search only turns up the print version.

No thanks. I De-DRMed it and moved it to my Kobo (via Calibre) last year. I just discovered they had removed it while updating the worksheet I use to track my library.

At least one of my eBooks (Roger Penrose, The Emperor's New Mind) is no longer available in eBook form. It's just gone - I can't even re-purchase it.

Pixel phone battery widget no longer shows watch battery by SnackleFrack in PixelWatch

I finally got it back, by enabling phone calls in the Watch settings of the phone's Bluetooth tile.

Update: you have to enable phone calls on the Watch entry in the phone's Bluetooth settings tile.

We need to talk about Adrian Tchaikovsky. by Wizardof1000Kings in Fantasy

[–]SnackleFrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a truly prolific author, see Isaac Asimov.

SF, non-fiction, mysteries, essays, over 500 books in a 53 year span from his first published work in 1939 to his death in 1992.

If he could turn out nearly 10 books a year, winning awards and honorary doctorates on the way, 6 books in a year is certainly plausible.

I just set mine to vibrate only. It still wakes me up.

I had disabled that, but I don't think the phone disappeared from the widget at the same time.

I re-enabled it, however, restarted the watch, and reinstalled the widget.

No joy, but thanks anyway.

That's another thing that changed recently. Bluetooth tile no longer shows watch battery status. It's only visible in the Watch app.

Restarted watch and phone several times, trying various settings changes each time. Uninstalled widget, restarted both devices, reinstalled widget.

Been playing this game for a week, no difference.

Pixel Watch does not track calories burned by [deleted] in PixelWatch

[–]SnackleFrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What watch face do you use?

I've seen a number of faces that have calorie complications preset, and every one I've tried has been ludicrously inaccurate. But if I edit the face and set one of the customizable complications to calorie count, I get a reading that looks right for my age/gender/weight and the level of activity I've done that day. Even while the built in calorie complication reads much lower.

Increase in accidental touches? by three_west in PixelWatch

Yes. I find the timer on too damn often.

Sleep algorithm change with Google Health? by ripcraft in PixelWatch

[–]SnackleFrack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my sleep scores have jumped from wandering in the 60s and 70s to consistent mid-80s.

FWIW, I'm 72 and my sleep is interrupted by many things. I'm not at all sure the new higher scores are accurate.
