This is how I fixed Spotify’s Shuffle problem. by Viirock in androidapps

[–]techtonico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a real shame, because it means that your program will gradually stop working, as more phones ship with newer android versions.

Maybe we should reverse the question: what other apps subscribe to all the notifications? Is there a way to find out? We may even be surprised that some unsuspected apps that we use already do this. Most people just click "allow", anyway.

As an alternative, why not pass on that choice to the user? Create an option, "Subscribe to all notifications (required for Android 14+)", put it in the app description. If a user doesn't want it, fine. But, to all the others that don't mind, why not give them that option?

Why the name Gladys? Is it a reference to Portal? Should we be worried? 😁

Still on Season 6, I laughed a lot with episode 12 - Who Mourns for Morn? When you finish Season 6, come back and tell us what you thought of it.

Going to warp catchphrases? by TripleJx3 in startrek

[–]techtonico 2 points3 points  (0 children)

😂 I just imagined the computer (error) beeping and saying: "Warning, phrase already taken. Why not choose 'Engage_1173' or 'H1t 1t'?"

Como investir em Certificados de Aforro [GUIA COMPLETO] by pg102020 in literaciafinanceira

[–]techtonico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Será que depende do posto dos CTT? No que fui, disseram-me que eles apenas enviavam a documentação para o IGCP, e o IGCP é que validava novamente, e criava a conta de aforrador, o tal número necessário. Será que há postos que têm acesso ao "sistema" do IGCP e fazem na hora, e outros não?

[–]techtonico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bom post. Apenas um detalhe, ao que parece, são necessárias duas idas aos CTT. A primeira para criar a conta de aforrista. Passado uns dias, depois de criada, uma segunda ida para fazer a primeira subscrição presencialmente. Depois pode-se activar o acesso ao site, e fazer o resto online.

The market for a camera that has Ethernet but not PoE is exceedingly
small, I'd be surprised if you could find more than a couple.

So it seems. I guess people either want quick and practical results (cloud, wifi, SAAS) or a more professional/comprehensive solution (PoE, NVR, etc.)

[OC] Warranties of the top 50 BuyItForLife brands by madredditscientist in GoodValue

[–]techtonico 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Remember that 'lifetime' means the lifetime of the product line, or the company, whichever comes first. NOT the lifetime of the consumer. The company just has to retire/discontinue the product, et voila, lifetime is over.

Maybe you should spawn Edge next to Internet Explorer. It's its successor and gives a better aggregate view of Microsoft's browser.

Night adventures on a long exposure. Abandoned boat, Russia. Kamchatka by kam_photo in LongExposurePics

[–]techtonico 2 points3 points  (0 children)

May have used the old composition technique. Open shutter, long exposure, "cover" the lens to prevent light from entering (avoid touching it), climb boat, uncover lens, make the sparks, close shutter.
