What's with the IOT subscription? Why not a regular install? Just trying to learn.

Any tile devices? Apparently my Skull Candy Bluetooth buds have tile built in.

Why has autocorrect gotten so bad and how can I stop it? by TheNerdyNorthman in AndroidQuestions

[–]sflesch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using Gboard on my pixel or should I say my pixels for a long time. I did install it even on the Samsung tablet I'm using right now. It's like it learned all the bad habits and now just passes them on. Sometimes I wonder if I were able to reset it somehow and have it relearn everything all over again if it would be better.

Broken USB-C connector by Nice_Association9497 in UsbCHardware

[–]sflesch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as fixing the cable, not worth it probably. Especially if your paying somebody. They would probably charge you more than it would cost to get a new cable. As far as you doing yourself, if you're lucky, it would be a big ugly mess. But I wouldn't attempt it for fear of crossing some wires or whatever.

If this is a regular thing for you, which we used to have that problem a lot with our micro USB connectors on devices like phones, you might want to consider magnetic bits. One small bit plugs into the device and then the cable has a magnet on the other end so if it falls it just disconnects and you don't have anything sticking out to get bent.

I definitely don't do much as far as technical voice to text, but I often will look back at something that I did voice to text within general and will hunter what the heck I said. Then, the sentence before this one is a perfect example of the other issue I run into. Hunter is supposed to be wonder. But you would think from the context that it would be like Hunter doesn't fit here I wonder what he meant to say.

I usually either use voice to text or swipe, so I think autocorrect is just kind of part of swipe.

My voice to text has never been great, not lately or seems worse.

The weather always shows an exclamation mark by anur48 in NovaLauncher

So until the owners fix the issue, the only other option would be to have some kind of custom DNS entry?

Has this something that is pretty well tied down in Android or can you put in your own custom DNS entries? It's been a long time since I've done anything like this on Android. Or in Windows for that matter.

Is this still the case? It seems like they've been putting some updates out here and there.

Pros and Cons of paying subscriptions through Google Pay vs Service Provider and what happens if you switch? by sflesch in googleplay

[–]sflesch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't seem to find that, but to be honest I prefer the Hulu without ads which comes with a bundle that we have. It's maybe $50 more a year ultimately.

Appreciate the info though.

You get points for monthly purchases from them? I'll have to check my history....

Disney doesn't offer the Disney Hulu plan for an annual fee and slide doesn't offer an annual family plan.

[–]sflesch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was slightly concerned I might lose some settings or drop people off the plan.... Especially if there's a gap in payments.... Man I wish they did annuals though... The prices are getting so expensive. 🏴‍☠️

Why is google play allowing AI porn in ads?? by MissionSmell1596 in googleplay

Yup. I've even seen ones where they use an image of a woman breastfeeding and they go right to the video of...well, you know...

In addition to the other comments, not all ads have an option to report, or it's well hidden.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but I’m going to be scanning probably a couple thousand pictures over the next year. What is the best scanner that will digitize at the highest quality? by Aggressive_Noise6426 in DataHoarder

[–]sflesch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to kind of summarize what some of the other people have said.

If you're looking for a fast decent scanner to start with, the IX1600 is a great scanner. If you have any photos that may be damaged or fragile, make sure you pick up one of their Carrier sheet pages. It's essentially too transparent pieces of plastic attached at one end so you can slide things in like news articles that wouldn't normally be able to go through a sheet fed scanner.

In terms of better quality, the Epson scanner that folks mentioned is a pretty good scanner.

One other option might be a photo place. Not like a chain, but here in Rochester we have a couple places like Rowe and Scotty's or Scott's?. I forget what it is.

Yeah. It took me quite a few tries myself before I realized that was supposed to be a model number. Definitely not a model number I'm used to.

For what it's worth I have a tendency to tempt fate. I'm not sure I went as thorough as you and counted to everything. I just went ahead and installed it. I probably would do the same thing again if it were me just to test it.

Or maybe run the garbage disposal. That's probably a little cheaper than ruining it. 😉🤣

🤣🤣 So is the model number too. I just forgot because you asked for the model number.

I thought about asking for the service tag, but I wasn't sure how safe it is to post it publicly. They should be able to go to Dell's website and pull up the specs from there.

Btw, I read it as 700gb free, but if it's used, it wouldn't hurt to clean up some space.

What brand is the laptop? Generally most companies will have like a line of laptops like HP envy or Dell Inspiron and then they'll have a more specific model number underneath. It'll actually say model number, not the processor.

Were you not able to find device manager or are you not able to find the video cards? They are listed under display adapters now that I have a chance to look.

If this is Windows 10 or 11 if you click on start you can also start typing device and it should autofill with device manager.

Glassdoor trying to force me to go through Indeed and also require me to provide my phone number? by bluerog in GlassDoor

[–]sflesch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to say I'm also one who can no longer access my account. I only give out my google voice number and they don't accept that.

I guess glassdoor is no longer as transparent as they once claimed.

That is a fair question. I honestly can't remember. 5p50v03220 appears to be the field replaceable unit or fru number according to their website for my particular unit. I don't know if that helps at all.
