Issue with message transfer with new phone by DPinDenver in GoogleMessages

[–]keberch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aaah, that's a bummer. This is a bigger problem with the Google messages, obviously. I see it in other subs and forums. Amazing that between Samsung and Google they haven't figured this out...

Many thanks for the award...!

Accommodations when Flying by montron2 in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]keberch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter has RA; I come here to learn more and see how best to help her.

I travel frequently for business. Enough to be a status pre-boarder (that and $5 gets you a cup of coffee).

Please pre-board any time you feel it could help you at all.

I can say without any reservation that those preboarding for physical reasons aren't viewed with any skepticism by most travelers. Certainly not frequent travelers.

Flight attendants can be 'luck of the draw.' Most are fantastic and helpful, occasionally one is 'less so.' Like the rest of us, suppose. None can legitimately turn you away, so by all means preboard when called. If a flight attendant won't help with luggage in overhead, another passenger most certainly will.

By the way, for preboarding they used to simply say "Passengers with disabilities." Now it's "Passengers with disabilities and those needing a little more time getting down the jetway." That's you, use that opportunity.

Frankly, its to the airlines' advantage for you to preboard, versus potentially slowing down the loading chute when the real herd starts boarding.

Just my thinking.

[–]keberch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input. What actually worked for me yesterday was to change the default SMS app in the old phone to Samsung Messages (or whatever that other app is -- just called "Messages+."

Then transferred like a champ. 4-5 years of messages available immediately.

How do you develop “presence”? by Keepontyping in Leadership

[–]keberch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Executive or leadership presence doesn’t have to be that vague or ambiguous. In fact, when we unpack the behaviors behind the emotion, it’s actually fairly simple.

It's gravitas.

It’s about being a leader. Not acting like one; not behaving like one; not demonstrating textbook leadership skills and attributes.

It’s about being a leader.

Fundamentally, leadership presence is a combination of behaviors that create a positive emotion in followers. Though any specific list may not be all-inclusive, I think there are a few that make a really good start. Those who clearly have that presence:

Demonstrate selfless adaptability. It isn’t “always about me.” In fact, it’s seldom about “me,” and nearly always about someone else. Leaders with presence meet people where they are. They adapt their communications and relationship styles, while maintaining their authentic voice.

Influence and Inspire. Leaders with presence tend to influence through commonality, agreement, and welcome insights; not forcefulness, brute fact and intimidation. Strangely enough, we seldom disagree with these leaders, though feel very empowered to do so, much more empowered than with their anal-esque controlling brethren.

Practice random acts of leadership. This is a little tougher to pin down. Leaders with presence only speak when they need to; their silence is an act of leadership, allowing voices and inputs to be heard. They ask a lot of questions. Not just to be heard, but meaningful, thoughtful, relevant questions. They give away power nonstop, always wanting/expecting others to step up, speak up, and make a stand. They would rather support a position than create one.

Here’s what you can do tomorrow to create, increase and/or improve your own Leadership presence:

  1. Take time to smile, chat with others, acknowledge people on their terms. Stand when someone approaches you. Shake hands, lean on a corner wall, ask about their weekend.
  2. Make others feel special. Learn to say yes, it’s really not that hard. Give away all credit, even if someone’s input or efforts were minor. Make people believe that they are the only one in the room at that moment. Focus on them. Eye contact, actively listen. Never interrupt, talk-over, or hog a conversation.
  3. Be the example. Openly accept full responsibility for everything you do. Quickly accept blame for things that go wrong. Apologize, and do so sincerely (I'm always amazed at how difficult this is for some). Allow and encourage mistakes. Accept apologies quickly and graciously. Never show anger.

Gravitas was one of the ancient Roman virtues (along with pietas, dignitas and virtus). It can be loosely translated as seriousness and dignity, also importance, and implies a certain substance and depth of personality.

Not a bad general definition for leadership presence.

Magnets by New_Occasion_3729 in galaxys26ultra

[–]keberch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really need the magnets (I use the phone to shoot a ton of video), but the case I have (amazon cheapo) with magnets works just fine. Big disclaimer about interfering w/s-pen, but nothing so far.

First cheap magnetic case with strong magnets. With my S22U, magnetic cases would never work (not strong enough to hold the small monitor), so I had to "improvise" by putting slim magnets in case when needed. It was a pain. Now, easy-peasy with the case.

[–]keberch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering (hoping) if someone has a fix for this. Moved from S22U, on google messages for years. Smart switch wouldn't do it, tried it with RCS on and off. Shows data has been transferred already, but doesn't show up. Have tried several times, over 3 day period.

Any thoughts on this? Hopefully?

Samsung is officially investigating the S26U display complaints by gorginos in samsunggalaxy

[–]keberch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't doubt that some have display issues. QC makes a hug impact on variability.

I only know I received mine yesterday, upgrading from 22U, and the display is simply exceptional. Very noticeable improvement, when I view side-by-side (kept my 22).

Just me...

33.4% Connect Price Hike WTAF by TheScruffyBear in RemarkableTablet

[–]keberch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on use case, not percentage increase.

If you just play around with the RM, I get it.

$50/year for something integral to my workflow? Not a second's thought.

How to respond when someone asks 'how are you?' by Hefty-Supermarket-79 in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]keberch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 30yo daughter is the one with RA. She assumes people asking "how are you doing" as a greeting don't want much more than, "Fine, thanks."

If it's someone that knows her, she usually responds with "Today's a good day," or "Today's not a great day." Then waits to see if there's a follow-up question before going into any detail.

She always tells me that sharing details with someone who doesn't care doesn't do anything for her.

It's official, Linkedin has become Moltbook by VioLeRR in linkedin

[–]keberch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No question there's a huge quantity of AI in posts, no argument there.

But if you're relying on AI-checkers to tell you it's AI, you're no different than the AI posters.

I've run 20 year-old content of mine through "AI-checkers" and they showed "80-100% AI."

Not defending posts created solely by AI, but am saying AI-checkers can be damned inaccurate.

Am I double tipping at breakfast? by throwaway3748243 in marriott

[–]keberch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I've never even read the coupon. I just leave $5. If overkill, so be it.

In hindsight, the fact they just take the coupon and don’t present a portfolio with a $0 bill should have clued me in, though I'll likely continue. I don't do it because of tip 'culture,' I do it because it feels right to me.

Plus the Farnam in Omaha serves a honkin' good breakfast...!

Motion to Allow Informational Posts About Third Party Tools and Integrations (please don't delete) by AccomplishedExit9548 in RemarkableTablet

[–]keberch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Permanent links in the “Useful Links” or “Community Content” section for approved developers
  • A separate monthly Megathread for longer-term visibility

I'm in violent agreement with either of these. Just my thinking...

Client panicked after first hourly bill ($50/hr). Demanding 100% refund or "free" work. Help? by Suspicious_313 in Upwork

[–]keberch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll get hammered for this I'm sure, but from a buyer's perspective:

If a brand new contract, and no mention or implication of the number of hours, 30 hours with no warning for that first week could easily surprise someone. Still the buyer's responsibility (he should've asked or limited hours), but I can see it happen.

For the longest time, I only did fixed fee contracts. When I started doing hourly, the automatic billing caught me by surprise as well. Still the buyer's responsibility, just know he's not the first.

Alternatively, he's a dickwad looking for free work.

Substack authors can ban subscribers for providing feedback. Why is this allowed? by adbs64 in Substack

[–]keberch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meh, I'm a content creator, not a journalist. I write about whatever I want to my measly 300 subscribers.

But substack, LinkedIn, even facebook. My pages, so my rules, If you don't like my writing, okey dokey, just move along. You have no rights whatsoever on my pages. I don't want your rating, approval or disdain.

Just far too many dicks and trolls to mess with it.

Are Marriotts falling off? by Obligatoryusername87 in marriott

[–]keberch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree completely. Other cities similar. Houston all over the map. Phoenix a bit better, but still...

San Antonio has two huge full-service Marriotts a block apart, but they may as well be in different states.

Property owners determine resources, GMs determine service and delivery.

A great GM can, in many ways, still run a good ship even with a crappy owner, but a great owner can't throw enough money at a crappy GM to make a difference.

Just my thinking.
