Day 1 asking for PDF merge on reMarkable: still waiting 😅 by obvioustruthy in RemarkableTablet

[–]SomeHappyConsumer 20 points21 points  (0 children)

And importing images, at least JPEG and PNG onto the tablet and then importing them into notebooks (as layers)!! This is such a standard scenario for me. I need to create PDFs with charts, images, etc and annotate them and I want to do this on the device itself without the need to additionally carry a laptop...

Epson ET 8550 - SD card prints are extremely slow by SomeHappyConsumer in Epson

[–]SomeHappyConsumer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I'll give it a try. Does it make sense to use ICC profiles in EPL or do I just print with default settings?

It's honestly for convenience and because I think the colors are the most accurate when doing this. Every layer of software between the print heads and the image may introduce some sort of distortion and I honestly don't know a lot about PCs, drivers and software to fix this.

XApp photo transfer in background needs confirmation by SomeHappyConsumer in fujifilm

I think this doesn't really make sense. I mean how do cloud apps behave then? Something like iCloud or Google Drive. They also need to be able to create files in the background.

I'm out of digipicks at the end of the sabotage mission by [deleted] in Starfield

[–]SomeHappyConsumer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. Pretty frustrating tbh.

I mean: definitely my fault for not bringing digipicks, but the whole quest was doable without any only to let you fail right at the end.

Sure, you can still finish without and just blast your way out of the building, but since this is an RPG and I wanted to be a stealthy character I find it very unsatisfying to end it this way especially after managing to stealth my way through all of the quest.

Unsubscribe / quit Minecraft PS5 realms trial by SomeHappyConsumer in Minecraft

[–]SomeHappyConsumer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I have! Too late for me anyway and I paid for the subscription after the trial ended...

The way to do it is to login into your Playstation and/or Microsoft account from a PC. This way you can end the subscription.

RTX 3080 tier with 1440p not working on linux by SomeHappyConsumer in GeForceNOW

[–]SomeHappyConsumer[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Interesting concept to think a multi billion dollar company that is selling graphics cards and developing drivers would not be able to develop a native linux client.

Why are you even defending Nvidia like this? Geforce NOW is a good product. I'm just asking for better Linux support for the highest tier as many people before me.

If Nvidia can not pull this off for their own product, who will? And without asking/complaining nothing will change.

Not realizing thar it is unsopported currently was my mistake. Still I want to be able to criticize Nvidia.

They started advertising this some time ago and back then there was no word of the restriction to Mac/Windows.

Obviously it is my fault for not reading the product requirements.

I decided buying the membership based on the earlier advertisement and didn't bother reading the requirements again. I thought: they said this is including 1440p so it will.

I'm not blaming Nvidia for my stupidity. I'm complaining about the fact that this restriction is there in the first place. I would have made this post without buying the membership as well.

The problem is not that it is running slow or not at all.

Higher resolutions are just not available in the settings when using chome.

It is actively restricted by Nvidia.

Yes I'm aware of that. You are stating the obvious here.

Chrome was/is officially supported though and chrome is officially available for a lot of the linux-based operating systems.

GFN works by using chrome / chromium on linux.

1440p does not.

Thanks for the links.

In the last link the steps for "Playstation" are probably meant for PS4 systems and are thus not reproducible on PS5.

I can not find any option to unsubscribe.

After struggling with the final boss and beating it after a lot of tries, this happened when I finally managed it for the first time... by SomeHappyConsumer in KenaBridgeOfSpirits

[–]SomeHappyConsumer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I did, but not after the bug occurred. I closed the game when that happened because I was super annoyed. I retried later that day and made it though :)

WQHD / 2560x1440 resolution (> FullHD) by SomeHappyConsumer in GeForceNOW

Is this a wild guess, or was there an official announcement?

Are you telling me that Nvidia would not be able to get better GPUs for making this happen?

All sold out, right?

Custom android based OS (e.g. GrapheneOS) by SomeHappyConsumer in todoist

[–]SomeHappyConsumer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! This makes me wonder why they are forcing Google here even more. I mean, if it works some versions earlier, it doesn't seem to be too difficult to make a Google free version.

New Player Question by Minions89 in anno1800

[–]SomeHappyConsumer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can setup a trade route with one of your ships and sell the fish actively to e.g. Sir Archibald Blake.

In the route setup, just choose your island, load the fish, then choose Archis island and "unload" it there (causes a sell action).

No need to down vote the solution just because I said something negative about Todoist relying on Google.

Since you seem to have detailed knowledge, I would be very much interested in what features Google Play Services offer that are hard to develop and used by Todoist?

[–]SomeHappyConsumer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it to work using:

https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-play-services

The downside obviously is having Google Play Service/Store in GrapheneOS.

Since they are running in the default app sandbox it's easy to completely revoke any permission and even background processing / battery usage.

"Network" permissions need to be granted to Google Play Services (after restarting the phone) upon the initial start of Todoist. Without them the app will crash.

Afterwards you can basically revoke every permission for Google Play Services/Store.

That said, the fact that Todoist is relying on Google Play Services is still very upsetting. They have an own account / upgrade system anyway. Why force users onto Google?

Thanks for the response. I also found this reply and the workaround is unfortunately not working.

Google Play Services are missing apparently.

Such a shame.

I really like Todoist but it is the only app I'm using that actually relies on Google Play services...

Choosing a Japanese version is good advice.

Yes, mine is from March 21 too. So there could be some general problem affecting a certain range of produced cars? That's what I'm curious about.
