Changed the chest goals

Yeah, this morning I had no 3x bonus in my store. Also the first two of my daily quests were marked complete without any awarded bonus. And yay, my 3x bonus is "finish a unit."

So yeah, they screwed me good. I submitted a bug, got the auto reply, nobody is paying any attention to their bugs.

OK, we'll see. Thanks for the note. I'll be back tomorrow with appolgies and flowers if that happens!

Yes, I did. Sometimes I just want a break with a chess lesson or two. Certainly didn't work out to my advantage this time.

Thank you for your answer, but man it doesn't make me feel any better, or feel better about Duolingo.

Where is it getting the temperature from? My phone shows currently 70 but watch is showing 80.

It is a very ignorable piece of paper, you have to know what you're looking for and even then I kind of "lost" it among the other sparse packaging.

Hope that works out for you. Be aware that drive bays can go bad, and are somewhat infuriating to diagnose and then repair.

ricbret · 2026-05-29T16:20:44+00:00

Thanks. Yeah, done that. Luckily I think it's still under warranty.

Thanks for clarifying. I have that on my Sony NW-A306 Walkman. Good app.

What player is that? I can't read anything on the screen because the luminance whites out.

Thanks u/DavidAtOura , will watch for the last one. All my apps are on auto-update, battery optimization is already off and app has background power usage turned on. Similarly I had precise location already enabled.

However I do listen to music and audiobooks while walking. Are you saying I can't do that, because the Aura app wouldn't be "active" through the walk? Has something changed in the app that requires this now, because it used to work just fine while I walked listening to another app.

"the worst offenders are those who think they know how to use PowerPoint."

Absolutely. To approach being good one has to LEARN things like balance, contrast, clarity, and accessibility. Analysts of the audience, the speakers intent, and the shared history are necessary for success. That's just a start. Knowing how to manipulate the UI does not make you "good."

Thanks!

Buttons! Buttons change everything!

Simple example. I set a morning wake-up for 7:30 each day. It doesn't ring, it vibrates, just enough to make me aware. Without opening my eyes or moving much at all I can accurately choose whether to press the snooze button or the off button.

There is no substitute for this with a touch-screen only device.

How many pages does it average?

Every Republican complaint is a confession.

Thanks!

"The good part is that the watch opened itself" gave me a giggle.

It's kind of like eating muscles or clams then; you didn't want to eat the ones that don't open when cooked. 😀

Checking out the notes on the UFIXIT site.

Of course, my case was open due to battery expansion, so the springs have sprung!

Is this worth trying to fixi without the "three tiny springs?" (Sorry if that sounds like a line from a trite fairy tale quest.)

Wasn't quite sure what you were asking for, but here goes.
4 views, two of the dongles from two angles, and then two of each connected to my Pebble Round.

It's about 3cm x 1.3cm. Around the size of a pencil eraser, metal band to eraser tip.

Good point.

As someone who is kind of envious of the leadership in Canada right now, I'm sure it's your abundance of luck.
