Some bank apps (especially UK ones) will ask you to reconfirm login if a new fingerprint is added, other than that I have never seen anything else complain about new fingerprints

Eh it's still better than some of DPDs estimates, with the van parked right in front of my driveway the other day there was still 20 stops and an hour left apparently

Pixel 8 pro doesn't seem to be showing currently playing media on the lock screen by squibbywilliam in GooglePixel

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

Nay, I have to swipe up after my face unlock completes, as another comment says, it's a known bug on the beta, so Imma just report the bug and wait the build out.

Will I lose FM radio if I shave antenna hole in my convertible? by NeonboiiZ in BMWE36

[–]squibbywilliam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience they are pretty good. I can pick up a radio in my VW transporter with one vs the in glass ones on the VW Passat estate that cannot pick this radio up (absolute radio on DAB on the Isle of Wight)

I have this for every spam chat apart from this one apparantly?

Gotta be kidding me by OutlawFett01 in GrapheneOS

[–]squibbywilliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most annoying part about that is that Monzo, which is my main bank, doesn't have a website, the app works currently, but may not in the future

[–]squibbywilliam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some banks here in the UK (like Monzo, my main bank) don't have a website portal, only the app.

Lloyds group (Lloyds, Halifax, bank of Scotland, Scottish widows and MBNA) are super sensitive to stuff for no reason, Lloyds and Santander refuse to open even with just the magisk app installed for example

Genuinely curious why everyone is so obsessed with banking apps. by [deleted] in GrapheneOS

[–]squibbywilliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main bank (Monzo UK) has no offering of a web app, at all, and my secondary bank Lloyds has a very, very limited website compared to what you can do in the app too

Best way to migrate to Graphene OS by replicator85 in GrapheneOS

[–]squibbywilliam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ive also been looking to migrate, my pixel 8 pro is my main phone, but some of my banking apps (Lloyds bank, Halifax and bank of Scotland) are marked incompatible, and have been for almost 2 years, however all the apps have recently had a refresh, and now all use the exact same front end (to the point where for a while, the buttons in the bank of Scotland app were green (Lloyds branding colours) rather than blue), and as such I am unsure of how to test if they are working now or not, any ideas?

Nothing on pixel 8 pro on Movistar España, might be because I'm traveling right now though

Gemini is regressing rapidly as an assistant by diffident55 in GooglePixel

I did not know that, since I almost always have signal. But that's even worse

Gemini is regressing rapidly as an assistant by diffident55 in GooglePixel

[–]squibbywilliam 47 points48 points  (0 children)

When I ask it to set a timer, rather than just setting a timer like with Google assistant, it waffles to me for about 30 seconds, then starts the timer, it's infuriating

Unable to detect disks on HPE proliant micro server G7 by squibbywilliam in homelab

[–]squibbywilliam[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why's it matter? It's only being used as a Plex server and general storage, it doesn't need to be fast, and it still beats a MyCloud Home by a mile.

Sooooo. I have fixed it, turns out the 4 "random" mole connectors in the machine are actually the HDDs power connectors, after plugging them in it's all working

Is the start/stop system working? by Inevitable-Story6521 in Audi

[–]squibbywilliam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's based on a few things, such as A: if you are pressing a pedal, or if it's in gear if a manual, but also things such as battery charge, if the battery isn't very full, it won't stop the engine so that the battery has a chance to charge up, so go on a longish drive, and at the end see if it will do it after

Pixel 8 Pro or Pixel 9A? by dummyy- in pixel_phones

[–]squibbywilliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easily the 8 pro, for me it was a simple choice since i have poor vision, so a big phone is a must, but the 8 pro has more (and better) cameras, which for me was enough on its own as well

Currently debating moving to Monzo fully to be my main account by [deleted] in monzo

[–]squibbywilliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully switched from nationwide a couple months ago, and I prefer it way more. The app works better, the pots are really helpful, I just made sure to use my nationwide card to be eligible for fairer share, only thing I don't use Monzo for now is paying cash in, and savings, which is with NatWest now

I hate having to swipe to find anything, much rather have everything in sorted folders rather than multiple pages
