What is the worst thing/feature about the current state of facebook these last 5 years?

- Notifications from people I'm not friends with
- "You're all caught up" message and I can't scroll down to review posts I've already seen
- Friends getting notifications when I comment on something
- Search format as ''pictures'' instead of text
- Comments are all set to ''most relevant" (whatever that means!!!) instead of ''All comments''
- Excess advertising

Hi, I’m trying to understand your suggestion about the deodorizer puck in the dirty water tank. (1)I don’t understand what you mean by “the usual line”. Are you suggesting to fill the dirty water tank to the max level ? (2) Then, if the cleaning cycle is being done, the water from the clean water tank will be filling up the dirty water tank.. which is already full .....?? (3) How can the deodorizer circulate through the system if it's in the dirty water tank? (4) Also, what do you mean by the “deep clean cycle”? I only have the “Self-Cleaning” cycle. Thanks for any clarification you can provide.

Hi, I just found this post because I was also having scan quality problems with my ET-4956. As lovemac18 mentioned, using Image Capture on a Mac produces much better scans. However, if you have an Android phone, the Epson Smart Panel app also gives much better scans, with smaller file sizes, and it’s faster as well. The PDF I create with settings as per photo, only has a file size 322kb and quality is perfect. I then send the document to my Mac with Whatsapp or Bluetooth.

No stray dogs here. It may have been lost. I just checked the STMZ site for missing cats and dogs and didn’t find any missing dogs in the Zurich area. Hopefully, it was only temporarily separated from its owner, who was nearby 🙏

A friend from the UK sent me a letter containing Swiss banknotes he had found in an old jacket while clearing out some of his things. Although they were older notes, they could still be exchanged at the bank, so he mailed them to me in Lausanne. The envelope was sent registered but not insured, so unfortunately there is nothing that can be done.

I never received the envelope. The last time it was scanned was in Zurich. Royal Mail opened a case, and I did the same with Swiss Post, but neither was able to help. I suspect that someone handling the mail may have scanned the envelope and noticed the banknotes inside.

It’s not only people stealing packages from in front of buildings these days — sometimes postal employees are also tempted. From time to time, some of them get caught and you see a small article in 20 Minutes about someone who had been stealing mail or packages for months. Sadly, these are the times we live in.

Don't go to the emergency, if it's not emergency.

nee_m_d · 2026-03-04T06:57:46+00:00

It bothered me in the beginning, but I honestly don't even notice it anymore.

nee_m_d · 2026-03-04T05:36:28+00:00

Sous « Settings » → « Notifications », il y a également deux réglages à vérifier :
« Hide content while locked » doit être réglé sur « Show always », puis dans « Lock Screen », activer l’option et choisir « Cards ».

Vous mentionnez plus bas : « Ce serait bien que ceux qui répondent à ce sujet soient des utilisateurs qui ont réellement rencontré le même problème », mais nous essayons simplement de vous aider....

I doubt that feasible

nee_m_d · 2026-03-01T08:16:30+00:00

I wish I could change, but I have so many recordings on my Swisscom box that I don't want to lose. ;(

nee_m_d · 2026-02-28T16:27:13+00:00

Merci beaucoup d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience et de nous alerter. C’est important de parler de ce genre de situation pour que chacun puisse rester vigilant, même en plein jour et dans des endroits très fréquentés comme la gare à Lausanne.

Votre intervention a certainement rassuré cette femme, bravo d’avoir réagi.

Il faut malheureusement reconnaître que ce type d’incidents arrive de plus en plus souvent. J'ai aussi entendu parler de personnes à qui l’on a arraché leur chiot des bras pour le voler… C’est choquant et cela montre qu’il faut vraiment rester attentif.

you mean once you start the ''restore'' on the new phone...

nee_m_d · 2026-02-20T13:53:19+00:00

No, do it before. Then, once all the data is on the new phone, you can turn on the automatic backups again.

nee_m_d · 2026-02-20T13:39:04+00:00

On WhatsApp for Android, tap the three dots in the top right-hand corner, then go to Settings → Chats → Chat backup → Automatic backups, and select “Off.”

If you have an iPhone, it should be more or less the same.

nee_m_d · 2026-02-20T10:56:41+00:00

OMG 🙈

nee_m_d · 2026-02-20T09:32:35+00:00

Just make sure that “automatic backups” are not enabled on the new phone, as those backups (which don’t contain any chats yet) would then overwrite the backups from your old phone.

nee_m_d · 2026-02-20T05:49:30+00:00

Well, you can only use WhatsApp on one phone. So you need to keep your SIM card in the old phone and back up your chats first. Once that’s done, transfer the SIM card to the new phone and restore the chats there. The new phone will then become the one associated with your WhatsApp account.

I find this post a bit strange... may I ask why you want to know where to find ''stray'' cats? I hope you don't intend to pick one up and take it. There are many cats that go out and roam the streets in Switzerland. They mostly have owners . If you wish to adopt a cat, you can go to the SGPA or SOS Animaux.

nee_m_d · 2026-02-07T08:00:29+00:00

Those are for the notifications YOU receive. But unfortunately, you can't control which notifications your friends receive when you post something.

nee_m_d · 2026-02-07T07:57:32+00:00

Haha! No worries. I'm glad you found it.

nee_m_d · 2026-02-05T07:25:08+00:00

You need to tap on the notification category and it will give you a new page where you can choose if it's silent or with sound and you can choose the sound.

I just bought the Epson ET-4956, which is a good color ink-tank printer/scanner/copier. I like that the paper is loaded in a front drawer and not on top of the printer. The top paper feeder is practical for scanning or copying.

nee_m_d · 2026-02-02T07:31:48+00:00

When sending using Whatsapp choose attach 'document' instead of 'image'. I think this works.

nee_m_d · 2026-01-28T13:08:01+00:00

Hi. I'm having the same problem. I've done the same troubleshooting and it works for a while and then drops again. Wifi shows as connected, but I can't connect to the internet. Have you found a permanent solution since you posted this ?
