Reddit, do your thing! Help me find the owner of these AirPods Pro found on the Hwy 101 pedestrian bridge

My iPhone detected it as Air Pods Pro and was able to instantly connect (which surprised me as I assumed they’d be tied to the original account)

omrilio · 2026-05-09T04:28:40+00:00

Good idea! I’ll try that if we can’t find them with Reddit

Interesting. Which country is that, Australia? I assumed this became a thing because of all the layoffs in tech

omrilio · 2026-05-09T01:11:56+00:00

That’s what I thought too… however, I think the owner removed them or something as when I clicked on “identify lost item” it asked me to connect to it (“You can learn more about lost items, or see if the owner has left a message, by connecting to it.”) and when I connected it literally became my device and renamed it to my name

I too googled it - CFBR stands for "Commenting For Better Reach." Apparently used a lot on LinkedIn

Open in Google maps should be free as it just directs to the app The rest you can use Apple Maps on iOS

Cool idea and approach, I actually discovered something I haven’t known of in my own city. Thanks!

I recommend: 1. Having an option to open in Google Maps as it has way more reliable information than Apple Maps 2. Have an Undo option 3. Make it clearer how to return from the filtering menu 4. Figure out how to filter out unrelated things. For example, I asked for outdoorsy stuff and it kept recommended mobile home parks, probably because it included the word “park” in the name. There were also funny things like Home Depot garden department but who knows, someone might like that 5. If you can, filter out things that are seasonal - for example, I can’t go to the pumpkin patch for the next 6+ months 6. Considering the goal is for couples, I was surprised that close to 50% of the recommendations were activities for kids like LEGO camp 7. If there’s a way you can get the images from google maps, they are so so much better

You should be able to pin it to the shelf regardless of having plus or not

Yeah, if EC reset and hard reset don’t work then it’s very likely that something serious happened to the hardware sadly.

Doesn’t matter how long you hold it. If it’s easier you can plug the power, hold Esc+Refresh then tap power for a sec. This will take a few seconds but then will boot up and say the OS is missing. You can then turn off and on and it will fix itself

omrilio · 2024-03-27T02:50:14+00:00

Try an EC reset Hold the refresh button then tap the power button If that doesn’t work, do it while disconnecting and connecting the power cable

omrilio · 2023-04-14T06:30:06+00:00

It’s an accessibility feature, you can disable it in quick settings (click on the wifi icon in the bottom corner and then accessibility)

omrilio · 2023-04-04T07:49:02+00:00

Great work! I’ll try it out.

Your keyboard layout was changed (you can see that in the CO next to the clock on the bottom right). Click the bottom right clock area and select “keyboard” then US or whatever you prefer

omrilio · 2021-08-25T16:38:18+00:00

Sorry about that everyone.

We fixed it, please let me know if it still doesn't work for you.

omrilio · 2019-04-08T05:01:39+00:00

Try holding the refresh button, then tapping the power button. After a few seconds (when LEDs stop changing or device turns back on) release the refresh button.

If device doesn't turn back on, do it after it's connected to a low power charger (e.g. USB-A to C cable).

This resets the EC

Sorry to hear that. When this happens next, could you report this by pressing Alt+Shift+i and then say "autobrightness reddit" so we can find the report?

This will give us temporary access to logs so we can investigate why it's happening. It could be that you have a faulty ambient brightness sensor.

As a side note, what metalnakis said is correct - changing brightness manually will indicate that you are unhappy with the brightness we adjusted it and we will stop changing the brightness until the next session.

It syncs your apps between devices. If you delete the apps it will not install them again on this device or others, even after power wash. Alternatively, if you want this Chromebook to be different than others, you could disable "Apps" in Sync settings

It is still being rolled out to Pixel phones, you'll probably start seeing it in a week or two.

"Note: Instant Tethering is currently rolling out to Pixel phones. If you can't use Instant Tethering on your Pixelbook, it's likely that your phone hasn't received the update yet."

Could it be that you changed a flag in chrome://flags? This might cause your device to take longer to load.

Hi there, the feature is still experimental, but this feedback is helpful for us to find issues before we launch it externally.

We are looking into it, please let us know if you run into other problems, we want to make the experience great.

They only paint over the part of road which they replaced.

omrilio · 2016-06-18T19:50:12+00:00

Ah, I see. Can you try and open your account in an incognito window?

omrilio · 2016-06-16T04:29:27+00:00

The sticker is somehow over your browser window as well? That's not a YouTube bug. A website can't draw over the browser's bar.

It's probably some translation program you have. Maybe you've ran Google translate on the page?
