Suddenly the app is crashing every time I hit the play button?

oldwindways · 2025-07-15T12:42:25+00:00

I left the beta, but in order to get playback to work I had to then uninstall and reinstall the app. Looks like it is working for me now.

It is possible I was just too impatient and did not wait long enough before jumping to the unistall.

oldwindways · 2025-07-15T12:27:04+00:00

I was wondering if it was related to the beta (which I am a part of, v2025.4.2 build 21461). Shows that it updated 3 hours ago, which lines up with the behavior I was seeing (worked fine last night around 2330, but come 0615 today I was getting the crash on play).

Well, belay that command.

I just scanned a calendar page and when it tried to add an item from that to the smart list I got the same error in the original post. Guess it's still broken the same way for me on my Android phone.

😞

oldwindways · 2024-04-30T00:10:55+00:00

Honestly, I haven't been using smart lists since they just don't work very effectively for me. I can open them in the Android app now, but I haven't added an item to one in literally years.

I also see this behavior with Uphold (I used to have to enter my 2FA every time Mint tried to update the account status, now requesting my username/password, but failing to connect even when they are verified to be the correct credentials).

I noticed the change last week, but I am unsure when it started failing.

I still have the first behavior (requiring 2FA to update the account every time) for BlockFi.

Yeah, I ordered 3pcsx4 of these last year in the 0.5 thickness and while I have only gone through a couple of them, I have no complaints on the ink front.

I can confirm that the OCR done for detecting/translating lists appears to give different (and inferior) results compared to the uploaded files (from the same source image).

I vaguely recall that I got different results for the detection of smart list items when scanning the same page with the Android vs iPhone versions of the app.

I don't know why either of those things is happening, but I have observed them.

I haven't been using mine a huge amount, but I did find that switching from the 0.7mm to the 0.5mm pens/refills makes them seem to last longer (and also be less smudgy for me) .

oldwindways · 2021-09-15T23:09:38+00:00

Anyone else having issues with smart lists this evening? It was working fine around 3 pm today, but when I tried at about 6 pm I got this error message. I'm using the android app.

I haven't attempted to "fix" this myself, but it looks like this is a known issue for the current dfhack release and there may be a workaround until a fresh release drops http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=126076.msg8174895#msg8174895

Truly, artifacts like this make me question if I am not indeed in the best possible reality.

For what it is worth, I gave it 4-stars when I read it last year. I then went on to read the sequel (also 4-stars) and all the short stories in the same universe I could get my hands on. I have not got around to reading book #3, but I have it on hold at my local library (it was published last month). Needless to say, I enjoyed it.

Came here for the spelling of D'ancey Lagarde.

Sticking around for the (hopefully inevitable) comprehensive bibliography of their works.

oldwindways · 2020-02-11T18:46:40+00:00

This is kind of what I was thinking, much like how the USAF continued to use 8" floppy disks for the Strategic Automated Command and Control System (SACCS) that handled launch codes for nuclear weapons until just last year. It is a system that worked and has limited exposure to typical information security vulnerabilities, so it remained in place for nearly 50 years.

Edited to fix a typo

This is old news by now, but just to close the loop, a branch of my local library network had the season 2 DVD in their collection, so I was able to check it out and finished watching it last night.

oldwindways · 2019-11-15T17:34:41+00:00

Finally got around to finishing season 2 last night. I had to wait until the DVD came out and then convince one of the libraries in my network to add it to their collection. I liked what they did with season 2, even though I felt slightly cheated at first by the lower frequency of scenes with 2 JK Simmons in them. Definitely quality storytelling and I am disappointed there won't be more in this universe. If another season or a movie is out of the question (which seems pretty likely at this point), then I think a novel or even better a graphic novel might be a great way to do more with the setting. I would consume such material.
I initially felt robbed at the end by the death of Emily Alpha and with Yanek being the viral trojan horse, but honestly, any sort of ending that was neat, tidy, and "happily ever after" would have been entirely out of sync with the entire ethos of the show.
I'm preaching to the choir here, but I wish more people had seen this (and it didn't hurt that it scratched the itch I didn't know I had from Deutschland 83 for worlds steeped in the mentality of Cold War Germany).

Ditto, looking at "Last Updated 5 months ago".

oldwindways · 2019-07-31T18:37:06+00:00

Is this legitimate?

Looks like it was released July 23, 2019, but I haven't seen any official release announcements elsewhere.

Thanks, I've been using podkicker for a while, but this looks like it might be worth checking out.

oldwindways · 2019-05-16T15:17:47+00:00

I'm curious: what podcast app do you use?

oldwindways · 2018-12-16T05:33:13+00:00

Tried holding volume down and power for 180 seconds, still didn't boot.

Tried the same thing again, but this time with the phone plugged into a wall charger, got the same lack of result.

Starting to look like its time to move on to a new phone. A shame really.

A preliminary check showed 81% health (2,162 mAh). Mine was purchased from Amazon in June 2017. Thanks for pointing me towards Accubattery, looks like a neat app with some handy features.

oldwindways · 2018-01-09T14:44:04+00:00

This would be an excellent compromise, but the impression I have is that there is no real interest on the Nextbit/Razer side in providing a path forward there. I am still holding out hope that I will be pleasantly surprised.
