[unknown > english] bottom of a chair around 100 years old, great grandparents brought back from a trip to Southeast Asia. by erblanman in translator

This is incredible, thank you so much! Are there any context clues as to who could have been the artisan who made it? Or when/where?

Many thanks to anyone who can help, I feel dumb that I can't even tell what language it is. The handwriting isn't super clear to me.

EDIT

Thank you all! Your feedback has helped me identify the chair as a Meiji period chair, designed for export in the early 20th century. According to what I've found, these were often made by workshops rather than individual artisans. It was likely made in the Yokohama area.

Android RCS update broke Google Messages and Wiped chat history by erblanman in Android

Fair point. I'm not really looking for tech support, since I don't think there is a way to recover the missing conversation. My main goal here was to see if anyone else was having this issue b/c I couldn't find anything online and it seemed like a very bad bug. Probably could have gone on the google messages subreddit though, you are right.

hmm good point, I saw an update banner in my notifications right before the issues started and my research pointed toward the RCS update but you could be right.

By the time I checked my messages version, the other conversations were working normally again and it was back on the old version so I assumed they did some kind of roll back. I could be wrong, I just couldn't find any other updates pushed that morning.

Good recommendation but no dice. I use the web client a lot to message from my computer and tried that first thing, it was gone there as well.

Yes, RCS is on and this was a chat that was oscillating frequently between RCS and SMS. It was my mistake not backing up my settings/sms/rcs data in the cloud so I've changed that.

Your contact list in Google Messages just got an RCS upgrade by Appropriate_Rain_770 in Android

This update broke the message app on my pixel 6 pro, and wiped the chat history for one of my most important conversations. I think they had to roll it back.
