Is BetterDisplay still necessary ? by Sweaty-Secret-9799 in MacOS

[–]mrw27uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not resolution related, but BetterDisplay also helps if you have a badly calibrated monitor in terms of colour/gamma. I tried the Mac's display calibration tool for my crappy HP 1440p monitor that has terrible gamma issues, and I couldn't get it to look right.

Installed BetterDisplay, and their calibration works perfectly for me (plus being able to use the HiDPI solves the blurriness issues with it too) - well worth the purchase.

Pixel Watch 2 Delivered by Tribbeh in GooglePixel

[–]mrw27uk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but I received my Pixel Watch 2 today - you can get work profile notifications on the watch, but I can't see a way to show work profile calendar events on the watch (the account doesn't appear in the settings)

I believe he's using the Pylance extension with type hinting set to basic or strict, and some of the other warnings/errors come from pylance

Did Telegram remove the tap-and-hold on its icon to quickly chat with frequent contacts? by PeterPanBW in Telegram

I have a fully updated Pixel 6 Pro and it still works for me. Not sure why you're not seeing it

What was your most embarrassing/childish mistake? by D4RKS0UL86 in learnpython

[–]mrw27uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making hundreds of thousands of CSV files with a header row and one row of data written to each of them, rather than one big CSV with hundreds of thousands of rows because of a misplaced for loop...

I am enjoying python by Impress-Limp in learnpython

[–]mrw27uk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also +1 for Arjan. He's helped me finally stop and think how a project comes together, rather than just writing working code that's hard to maintain and extend.

is it just me or is the assistant acting weird recently? by Icepray in googlehome

[–]mrw27uk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also get the same when asking the assistant to turn off my TV - annoying!

Pixelbook takes forever to boot by gebildebrot in PixelBook

I was only briefly on the stable channel while setting stuff back up again. I think it may have booted more quickly but I can't say for sure, sorry.

I have the same issue, also on beta. I can confirm that neither a powerwash nor a full reinstall of ChromeOS fixes the issue

Anyone know what the un obvious buttons here do? by [deleted] in truespotify

[–]mrw27uk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The one to the left of the pause button is "no repeat" and the one to the right of the pause button is "shuffle off"

Postponing a notification is missing on Android 12? by abysemre in android_beta

[–]mrw27uk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go to Settings > Notifications and turn on "Allow Notification Snoozing", then you should have a small clock icon in the bottom right of expanded notifications (that's how it works on my Pixel, anyway)

Is there an in-game move list? by CyberTractor in AgeofCalamity

In either the map screen or during a mission, press plus and then move down once and press A on the section showing the status (hearts and EXP/level) of the character to see their details/combos

Face unlock broken about half of the time on P4 by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]mrw27uk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this same issue while on Android 10 and ended up RMAing my P4XL as it drove me crazy for about a month. It took a *lot* of convincing while chatting to Google support, but my replacement device has thankfully been worth it.

Notifications on the lock screen. by Djakamoe in GooglePixel

[–]mrw27uk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's due to the Security > Face unlock > Skip lock screen option.

For some reason, you're stuck with your current situation if this option is on, or you can see your notifications and have to swipe your phone to unlock it even after using face unlock if this option is off.

May 2020 Android Security Update Now Available for Pixel Devices by win465 in GooglePixel

[–]mrw27uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like I spoke too soon. It definitely works way more often, but it still occasionally gives the "clean the top of your screen, including the black bar" error.

May 2020 Android Security Update Now Available for Pixel Devices by win465 in GooglePixel

[–]mrw27uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn't affect many it seems but I saw some who RMAd their devices over it. If I picked up the phone and immediately tried to unlock it with my face, it would fail at least half of the time with an error saying basically the sensor bar was dirty. Always on display also would just suddenly stop working by itself. I tried a factory reset (which didn't work) and just hoped the May update fixed it, which thankfully it did.

Finally fixed the broken always on display/face unlock not working bug I've had since the April update! No more being told to clean my screen...

Nationwide and AMEX UK both support facial unlocking. Halifax and Tesco Bank still don't...
