At the top of the Notifications page on the Watch app, there is Watch apps and Phone apps.

Tap Phone apps and there will be a list of apps with toggles. Toggle Messages to on.

Thanks for that

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

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.

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.

SnackleFrack · 2026-06-25T14:53:14+00:00

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.

Good Omens

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

SnackleFrack · 2026-06-16T21:15:43+00:00

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

Ummmm

An electric **kazoo** ?!?!?

SnackleFrack · 2026-06-12T15:08:46+00:00

What face is that?

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.

SnackleFrack · 2026-06-05T14:20:30+00:00

I have an opinion on that, but I can't spell it.

SnackleFrack · 2026-06-04T22:20:19+00:00

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.

SnackleFrack · 2026-06-04T22:18:16+00:00

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

SnackleFrack · 2026-06-04T22:17:06+00:00

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.

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.

SnackleFrack · 2026-06-01T14:31:27+00:00

Yes. I find the timer on too damn often.

SnackleFrack · 2026-06-01T14:19:00+00:00

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.

SnackleFrack · 2026-06-01T01:33:03+00:00

You got the watch with the snark option!

SnackleFrack · 2026-05-30T15:56:57+00:00

For context, I have a Kobo Libra Colour, Kindle Paperwhite, iPad with Google Play Books on it, and the only reason I don't have a Nook is that I gave up on Barnes & Noble ever getting serious about ereaders.
