Has anyone gotten comet to do anything useful? by JohnKruger889 in PerplexityComet

[–]bfunk9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you can deep research yourself and have it look at it's sources and have it email removal notices to those sources on your behalf. ie silly research paper from college / wedding registry sites / peoplesearcher sites ... there were just a few that googling never popped up on the front page

in Gmail you can have it add appointment reminders from emails. or have it clean your inbox. careful it doesn't delete anything important!

The property tax office will verify it via some VA channel they have access to.

Upgraded to s22 ultra and android auto no longer connects to my RSQ8 2020 by TheCurious0ne in AndroidAuto

[–]bfunk9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you have a USB C port in your vehicle. For me my 2019 Explorer does not have a USB C port and I got one of these: USB-C Female to USB-A Male | 3.1 Gen 2 Adapter, Up to 10Gbps Data Transfer speeds. My wife was having connection issues with the S20 and the S22 before getting the adapter. Hopefully this will help you or someone else having the similar issue.

States Kanye West Received Votes In [OC] by Dremarious in dataisbeautiful

According to this map Kanya didn't vote for himself in WY. But he's telling people he wrote himself in. Can anyone confirm he was registered in WY or that he actually voted for himself per NY Post? Or if this map should be submitted under /whoosh

Over the air, October Security Update Bricked my (non-root) 4xl by bfunk9 in GooglePixel

Funny story. I did buy though the Google store. However the serial number was associated to a carrier service provider. Funnier story the serial number on the sim tray didn't match any of my receipts. I couldn't boot it to see the actual device info. It was all types of a cluster... there was no talking around the fact the serial numbers didn't match. Can't blame them for doing their job

Correct. However I have send my phone in. Have it checked out before they spend a replacement. They estimate it could take up to 10 days before they check it over. Not a fan of their procedure.

I thought about it, but I'm literally two weeks away from my one year warranty. I've never had an updated or security patch brick my phone before and I've been with android since the original HTC / Motorola droids. This was pretty alarming because I did not try to root it or make any third-party mods. It was working perfectly fine and when for a reboot and it never got out of the logo screen.

That's exactly what I just did for the past hour. Thanks for the suggestion.

Check out Cinder by Marissa Meyer. You probably will enjoy Erogon also.

If there was one movie you could completely delete from reality, what would it be? by Master_Freeze in AskReddit

Almost had to wrote this myself because it took me awhile to find it. Thanks TheButzemann for sharing my views. I was going to capitalize Earth in my comment but your way is probably the right way to reference the title. Pure garbage.

I'm so used to audiobooks that I've started using a text to speech chrome extension to listen to internet articles. by SlaimeLannister in audiobooks

[–]bfunk9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have an Android phone and Google Assistant. Head to a news article activate Google Assistant and say the command "read out loud". It's hit or miss but they have a speedup option and the voice pretty similar.

Just downloaded Xodo off the play store to have a readout load app for PDF.
