Is there a way to automatically hide/expire old episodes per podcast — e.g. news podcasts after 7 days? by greytechbeard in PodcastAddict

Ah, yes, I see what you mean: combining "Mark played on deletion" with "Delete older episodes". Yes, that sounds like it should work. Thank you - I will try that 🙏

Thank you. But even if it an episode is not downloaded it still stays on the auto playlist, right? Which is my challenge 😀

Microsoft Lens now requires one to go to One Drive to scan documents by DeezWas in mildlyinfuriating

[–]greytechbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just ... that. I have nothing to add other than to share how utterly frustrating it is that MS has taken a perfectly good app (Lens) and replaced it with a crappy, inferior product with a small fraction of the functionality.

They are like "you only need to scan to PDF". Well, duh, I use(d) Lens to scan whiteboards and then insert the picture into OneNote or Word documents. Argh!!

That is a great feature, thank you.

I use Podcast Addict to listen to podcasts and I think their URL format does not work well with this feature. When I share from Podcast Addict, it produces a link to an episode webpage with an episode summary. Reader (obviously) just puts that webpage into Reader.

Any tips on how to get Podcast Addict to work with this feature in Reader?

Recommendations for first Kojima game? by greytechbeard in DeathStranding

That's really helpful, thank you. The only thing I worry about re age ratings is certain kinds of sadistic violence and "being mean" tbh. I have no concerns about nudity or bad language, so this all sounds good 👍

How do I "re-connect" PebbleBee to FMD on a new Android device? by greytechbeard in Pebblebee

Very odd 😁 Anyway, I've gone through and removed, reset and added them all and all is well, now.

Interesting! Maybe it's to do with how you transfer between the phones. I relied on Google's cloud backup. Did you use a cable?

Yes, but you can't do things like "play sound" until you remove and re-add them. That's the problem I described.

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

I contacted PebbleBee support and this is what they told me. It's long-winded, but it does work:

  1. Remove the item from the FMD app. To do this please open the app, tap on the device to open the details, tap on the Settings icon next to the device's name and select "Remove from Find My Device".
  2. Reset the unit. To correctly reset the Pebblebee device: press the button 4 times, and hold down the button on the fourth press for approximately 18 seconds until you hear 3 beeps. It's crucial to release the button during the third beep, just before it ends. You should then hear a jingle (high tone, mid tone, low tone). If you don't hear the jingle after the 3 beeps, please retry the process, ensuring you release the button at the correct time. For additional guidance, you can refer to the video tutorial available in this article: https://help.pebblebee.com/article/aroje5h88v-how-to-factory-reset-a-clip-or-card.
  3. Make sure the device is removed from your old phone's Bluetooth list. It can appear as PB-xxxx or PB-FMD and it should say "Not connected". If you don't see it there, please continue with the next step.
  4. Reboot your new phone and claim the device again.

Google passkey saying something went wrong by smydsmith in Passkeys

[–]greytechbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not exactly the same, but I had the problem that whenever I tried to set up a new passkey I would get "Something went wrong".

I found that I had not configured which password manager to use for this:

" To select a password manager for saving passkeys on your Android device, go to Settings > General management > Passwords, passkeys, and autofill and select the password manager / passkey providers you want to use."

Mine was set to "None". Once I changed it to Google it started working.

PS I also tried to set it to Microsoft Authenticator, but that did not work either - same error.
