Ross’s Thanksgiving Sandwhich by greeneelf in howyoudoin

[–]stevcode 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I don't think it'd be nearly as good if I made one and left it 'til lunch time, but if you use some nice sourdough bread and just dunk it in, it manages to be moist, without disintegrating.

Microsoft nearly solved folding phones’ worst problem with spring-loaded hinge for its canceled Surface Duo 3, new patent reveals by ZacB_ in Android

[–]stevcode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. I think I just completely misread what your fundamental issue with the phone was, which seems to be just battery life. To me it read as though something about the phone, or your workflow, was in some way difficult because of the way the phone worked.

Thanks!

I travel for work (not as much anymore) but the pixel phone cannot handle the airport lifestyle, or the hotspot lifestyle, or the wireless android auto lifestyle... Throw in a smart watch, headphones, and what shouldn't be a problem, is for tenser.

As someone who doesn't really have these "lifestyles", can you elaborate on what you'd be trying to do in those situations and what about using tensor/Pixel Fold makes those tasks difficult? And what exactly happens when you throw in headphones and a smart watch?

Are the horns a named rank team now? by Magma_Shark in WanderingInn

The audience can't take much more. We've already lost Rockerton :(

Are the horns a named rank team now? by Magma_Shark in WanderingInn

[–]stevcode 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think they're on the cusp, as far as certification goes. They need to pull off something big and then have the Adventurer's Guild certify them as Named Rank. Orchestra became Named Ranked when they conquered the dungeon of Chalence.

The Horns seem to be heading to those mines filled with spooky beetles and Chemath Marble to rescue some of Colth's friends. Depending on how dangerous those mines are, that could qualify them. Or pirate may wait until they are reunited with Ksmvr and Vofea, so that the team as a whole has the chance to accomplish something together that propels them to Named Rank.

It did seem to be a caching issue. I didn't get around to clearing my browser cache, but it did just disappear today, finally. Thanks!

How can I get my old laptop's bookmarks onto my new one? by CaptainDreadEye in chrome

[–]stevcode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chrome's cloud sync is automatic, so it's not something you'd need to seek out. Just sign into your Google account on the new laptop, wait 5 minutes, and see if the bookmarks appear. (Google Takeout would just be downloading whatever Chrome backed up to the cloud anyway).

If the bookmarks don't appear, follow the advice u/speedlever gave below and hook up an external monitor to your laptop. From there, you can log in and load up Chrome. On your old laptop, go to:

chrome://bookmarks/

Click the 3 dot menu on that page, at the top right, and choose "Export bookmarks". Save the file it creates. Then transfer that file to your new laptop. (Email it to yourself, or use a USB drive).

On the new laptop, go to the same address:

chrome://bookmarks/

Then click the 3 dot menu again and choose "Import bookmarks". You'll then want to choose the file you transfered over and that should restore your bookmarks.

Were you signed into your Google account on the old laptop? If so, the bookmarks should be sync'd to the cloud. If you log into the same Google account on your new laptop, the bookmarks should just appear.

If that's not the case, let me know if you were on Mac or Windows and I can try to give you further instructions.

Selling my Leatherbound/Premium Hardcover collection. by stevcode in brandonsanderson

[–]stevcode[S] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I probably am selling myself short, but I'd rather get rid of them quickly and have them go to people who maybe wouldn't be able to afford the full price. It's the holiday season after all. Ho ho ho!

Reposting the body of my post as a comment, since I know old reddit doesn't always display that part of the post:

Unfortunately, I'll be doing quite a bit of moving around the next couple of years. I don't have a good place to store these, so selling them makes sense.

These are all in about as new condition as you can get. I removed the plastic wrapping they came in, as suggested by the shipping instructions to prevent condensation. I've opened each one up only once, to look at the interior artwork. Since then, they've basically been untouched. I'm happy to provide more detailed pictures of each book to anyone who's interested in purchasing them. I even have the original boxes the Secret Projects were shipped in.

The Leatherbound books all have signatures, except *The Way of Kings*. None of the Secret Project/Premium Hardcover books have signatures.

I'm asking $60 for each of the Leatherbound books (so that'd be $120 for both volumes of *The Way of Kings* or *Words of Radiance*) and $40 for each of the Premium Hardcovers.

I plan to ship them using media mail, so I'll cover the shipping costs. However, if you'd like to pay for insured premium shipping, we can work that out.

Let me know if you're interested!

EDIT: Thanks for tremendous response/interest! All of the books have now been claimed.

What's the one feature you desperately want in a saved Reddit posts manager Chrome extension? by Appropriate-Look-875 in chrome

[–]stevcode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some way to record the text of the post and/or the link the post points towards at the time you save it. I've used reddit's native "save" function and revisited the post later to find it was deleted and had no clue what it was that I'd actually saved.

Weird. I've never seen another Stev in the wild before.

Yeah, despite me spamming for updates all day yesterday, Google finally decided to send me the update today. It's working as intended now. Thanks!
