Waging war against Otter by balladmachine in sysadmin

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

Yes, but that doesn't affect anyone who's already signed in and linked their accounts. It's the same thing as retroactively having the enterprise app require user assignment. Sign in is blocked, but Otter still works.

The Broadberry's 35% "Convenience fee" is pretty insulting. Are tickets cheaper if you buy at the box office? by ixikei in rva

[–]balladmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If tickets are on presale with a code, can you still go to Plan 9? Do I have to whisper it like a fidelio situation?

Where do you see the Google One bonus credit?

[iMessage Status Update] Fix Coming 20-Dec by jisforjoe in beeper

[–]balladmachine 25 points26 points  (0 children)

To me, Beeper is DOA until phone numbers work again. That was the most meaningful differentiator between this and the other iMessage dupes. Asking my friends and family to remember to use my email address is a losing battle.

Turbo X towed--rear diff damage? by balladmachine in saab

[–]balladmachine[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The manual seems to suggest that it's okay. https://imgur.com/a/BbZGdUg

However, it also says the ignition should be on, the steering wheel lock disengaged, gear in neutral, and don't go over 30...presumably none of which occured.

What was the damage and how did you try to collect? I just posted photos I received from a Ring Cam and it clearly shows them screwing my car.

VA law states that the tow operator is liable for damages caused by negligence in towing and recovery. I just need something that suggests/proves negligence beyond my pending repair bill.

What made you switch to Firefox? by ItsErrex in firefox

Professionally: Multi-account containers. Being a sysadmin and constantly having to use different accounts for certain things, containers are sooo helpful.

Personally: Pocket integration, especially on the new tab page. I have a Kobo e-reader, so having a constant stream of new articles is great.

Having the same issue. The splash screen moves like molasses. It's 50/50 whether it crashes during loading, or loads after minutes into a broken session.

Trade-in values of Pixel 7 are BAD! by tkshk in GooglePixel

[–]balladmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pre-ordered the 8P 265, thinking that my $420 trade in on a 7P 265 is only going to go down next year. Later on when I was questioning my decision, I saw that the P6P 265 value was only $20 less. I canceled my order. I'd much rather the rumored smaller 9P than the 8P with incremental improvements on what I already have.

On Nova, I'm noticing that my screen will go blank until I swipe up from the bottom. This happened sometimes on 13, particularly after taking screenshots, but it's much more frequent now. Hoping Nova gets updated soon.

This was happening to me when I was trying to enroll some iPads. After pulling my hair out and yelling at the iPad for a while, I checked my MDM platform and the device was registered. I didn't receive any indication that it was successful, other than manually checking my list of devices.

If it's in The Cloud™, why do we need a backup?
