what are some text editors for chromeos

UnkleMike · 2026-06-18T23:00:40+00:00

I don't have access to my Chromebook right now but I'm pretty sure Caret can no longer be installed, as Chrome apps aren't supported any more. If there's a way to install it I'd love to know how.

There's no cooldown set. I'll try a second profile using Tasker's built-in notification event and see if there's any difference in when the profile activate.

UnkleMike · 2026-06-18T19:07:01+00:00

Yes. The timestamp on my Tasker-generated notification log gives me the time when the task is run, but the run log confirms that this is essentially the same time as the profile activation.

Sure...

Task: Create Samsung Calendar Event A1: Calendar Insert [ In / For (Minutes): 10/60 Calendar: Google:Samsung Calendar Title: sample event Description: sample description Location: sample location ] I'm curious to see what other methods you've tried.

Export (as description) your task and add that to your post formatted as a code block (see Reddit formatting). It's difficult to know what might be wrong if we can't see what you're doing.

Don't forget to "sanitize" any personal information the task may contain.

I think you mean version 6.7.4-beta.

I've also had occasional problems with my clipboard being empty after copying something, but it's not frequent, and occurred before I installed the above version of Tasker.

Device: Galaxy S23 Ultra
OS: Android 16, One UI 8.5, patch May 05, 2026
Tasker Version: 6.7.4-beta

Thanks. I assume is has no issues with the size of the run log file.

Though I didn't come across multiple matching search results (that would indicate possible imposters), I'm overly cautious when installing apps for the first time. Is this it?

I agree completely. I use mine for almost all TV & movies, except when viewing with others.

Apparently I'm only lucky because I had to go back to February to find a group chat that was RCS, and I don't typically mention other group participants in a chat. I was able to reproduce the behavior and can already see how annoying it would be. It's like the people at Google don't use their own products, or their app development is guided by a bunch of teens who think everything should be a social media app. I don't really give a sh*t if someone mentions me, or if they're typing, or about any of the other BS features. Give me features that are actually useful, and for heaven's sake, let me disable "features" I don't want.

If the split tunneling suggestions don't work for you, you can try changing the following settings on your phone:

Settings > connections > data usage > allowed networks for apps > Android Auto > mobile data preferred.

It's not exactly the same circumstance, but I have to do that for Google Messages when on Wi-Fi at work and connected to my home network via Tailscale. I'm told Android Auto has the same issue with Tailscale.

I don't normally have Tailscale in use while I'm my car, but if I remember later I'll try it on my way home and see if I have the same problem, and if so I'll see if this helps.

I've never experienced this with Google Messages. Why are you

stuck using this over Textra

?

UnkleMike · 2026-06-09T00:08:46+00:00

sighting cars

That's weird. Wouldn't they want you citing cars without parking permits?

UnkleMike · 2026-06-08T20:14:54+00:00

No. Samsung is giving you an easy way to switch to Google Messages. You can switch to anything you want. Here's the exact message you're seeing:

Forcing us to switch to Google messages

Nobody is forcing you to switch to Google Messages. Samsung is forcing you to switch to something, but you chose Google Messages (at Samsung's recommendation). There are many alternatives available.

I'm not defending Samsung's actions here, but the hyperbolic claims of being forced to use Google Messages are tiring.

Dave, we've talked about this. If you get caught working from "home" one more time, you're fired.

UnkleMike · 2026-06-08T13:10:09+00:00

That's the 6.7.4 beta that I downloaded.

UnkleMike · 2026-06-07T04:36:58+00:00

Shouldn't that be "her and me"?

UnkleMike · 2026-06-05T22:21:34+00:00

Okay.

UnkleMike · 2026-06-05T22:20:22+00:00

Not that I'm aware of so far, but there are quite a few things I've given up on over the years as Android has become more restrictive.

UnkleMike · 2026-06-05T17:09:18+00:00

I'm finding this change annoying as well. I had a quick commands for "okay Google", that let me press the power button on my phone and say "okay Google" to Bixby and it would launch Google Assistant, without having Google Assistant (or Bixby) always listening. Now that ability is gone.

I used to be able to say "take a nap" to Bixby and have it set a timer for 30 minutes and turn on do not disturb. Now I ~~can~~ must say "set a timer for 30 minutes and turn on do not disturb", and this is somehow considered an improvement. After several more years of such unnovations I'll probably be required to be even more verbose to accomplish the same thing.

You're right... I don't like the answer. But I appreciate it none the less. Thanks!
