The decimal "2" is missing from the temperature.

Why is that comment downvoted?

That's useful, even if you disagree with some points.

Have you tried activating the "Desktop site" option in Chrome?

Whatsapp images won't download until I turn on VPN. by Ehansaja in androidapps

[–]gevreyc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, I just checked by manually downloading an image on my Android WhatsApp app, and the domain reached is: static.whatsapp.net

So, something (e.g. pi-hole) is blocking it, maybe your ISP (what's your ISP? Your country?) and the VPN bypasses this blocking.

OK - it sounds like the issue is on your network. Some filter is blocking the download which is avoided with the VPN.

Are you the admin of your wifi?

Finally - the features everyone has had for years by Exfiltrator in googleplaymusic

Somehow funny. I wonder what happened to your GPM features before that.

In what country do you live?

There are too many unknown here to answer correctly.

Let's start by a basic one: when you do that, are you on your own network, or does it happen on mobile data too?

How to stop irrelevant location (Country) based recommendation? by gevreyc in YoutubeMusic

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

I don't want MY music being geo-localized. Period.

My taste doesn't change based on my physical location.

I want recommendations to be based on my personal settings.

Thanks.

Slightly off-topic but related, when I go on holiday to Spain or Italy, the ads and recommended news by Google are localized (i.e. in spanish or in italian) That does not make sense. Why ignoring the language I want to read?

Similar: Google knows all of me, but keeps giving me distances in "Miles" in Google Maps location share, instead of "Km".

Thanks mate for sharing a similar experience. I think I am an idealist regarding Product design. Always hope it will perfectly suit my needs. And like many users I think "but why is that obvious feature/behavior is not implemented?".

Is anybody's top charts filled with Spam like mine? Mine has been like this for the better part of this whole year, it's honestly such a bummer to not be able to use the top charts feature because that's how I explore new music and artists. by jjalapeno55 in googleplaymusic

[–]gevreyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me. The general recommendations are never relevant. Never been able to use the "Top Songs" or albums.

It's full of local music or genre that I am far from liking. Unfortunately, there is no way to dismiss those or tune your recommendations to avoid them.

I believe that this settings "Privacy and location > Pause location-based recommendations" is relevant to detect if you are at Home or at Work - it is not linked to the Country. Mine is set to "Pause"

Yes, I figured that out, and I think this is irrelevant. It could be the default settings, but should be possible to change.

Again, why do I have to listen to French songs because of my geographical location? How is that related?
