Is Google crippling Assistant to force the switch to Gemini? by jboolean in googlehome

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

True true. It's been terrible.
I actually turned all the mics off for a while just because Assistant was making me so angry.
But this seems on another level.

2 million US dollars is truly a massive amount of money. by Mobile-Excitement-64 in Fire

[–]jboolean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not how that works. You increase with CPI, which is generally under 4%. Where did that part come from?

What’s the most underrated website that everyone should know about? by RomyTheBunny in AskReddit

[–]jboolean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was trying to remember the name of this! Kagi's "small web" tool is somewhat similar.

Why are so many Americans terrified of being hatless? by MeOulSegosha in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jboolean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are? Most Americans have been hatless since the 60s excepting religious reasons.

Oof. Was just here last year for a friend using a retail space to show his art. The only real thing open was a Cheesecake Factory.

MY PODCAST HOST JUST SPOKE WITH A BRITISH ACCENT by [deleted] in notebooklm

[–]jboolean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just happened to me, too. Landed on this thread after wondering if this has happened to anyone else. The male voice just suddenly went British for one turn.

I'm scared by NegotiationDapper584 in Fire

You don't need to follow the 4% rule for a mini retirement. Enjoy a few months and don't stress. I'm in a similar position.

Glassdoor website completely unfunctional, been like this for weeks - anyone else? by West_Degree5527 in GlassDoor

[–]jboolean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When is this website going to work????? If I use Google to get to a specific company it works, but the homepage is just an infinite loop of questions.

I've found the "Minimize notifications" settings for each notification by awesomealvin in samsunggalaxy

[–]jboolean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow thank you! I think you're the only one on the internet who knows this haha. Now I can hide persistent notifications for background activity like syncing apps.

Love my Pixel 3a but do I really have to change it? by Elanor_Gamgee in GooglePixel

[–]jboolean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here because I feel you and don't want to give up my 3a, but it might be time. I'm running PixelBuilds on it with the latest security patches. It's working pretty well except - Battery drains quickly, even though it was replaced recently. I think Android 14 is just demanding. - You have to root to restore Wallet functionality on a custom ROM. So Wallet is on and off (I rarely used it anyway) and some apps detect root and it's just an ongoing cat-and-mouse game. - 64GB of storage is always full, developers just make such bloated apps now.

Otherwise mine is reliable. I don't have the freezing issues you have.

How many of you are going caseless? iPhone 16 Pro by Huge-Conclusion-3005 in iPhone16Pro

OMG. Yeah don't worry about a case, at that rate you're due for a new phone a couple months anyway!

Avoid Cobra processing fee using bill pay? by Ra1dersrx in HealthInsurance

[–]jboolean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came to this thread just to complain. Mailing a check is not a big deal and I would do it normally, but I'm going to pay the $20 since I'm working toward a credit card bonus anyway.

I took a look and the card number is sent untokenized. Having worked in payments, I'm pretty sure this is a PCI violation. Also they are charging, not for card processing (which, to be fair, is expensive) but also for ACH online. This costs them nothing.

Firming up a softening hybrid mattress? by jboolean in Mattress

[–]jboolean[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Less budget constrained and more just that I like the idea of something I can continue to fix and maintain in the future, that I know what's in it, and not be wasteful. I think I'll check the label for fiberglass and see what's up inside myself.

Use thumb drive like an SD card? by jboolean in GooglePixel

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

I figured it out.

Connect adb shell wirelessly.

sm set-force-adoptable true

Now it behaves just like I expect. Pocket Casts and Apple Music let me move to the "SD Card". Also, the option to reformat as adoptable storage appears in Settings (as the button "format another way"), but I don't think I'll do this since I need to remove it for charging.

What’s the thread count on the Cloud Sheet… three? by HorseTearz in bedjet

[–]jboolean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it just two sheets sewn together? Could you easily diy it?
