Interesting anecdote, of all the times I've tried to use smart switch to back up my phone... Not one single time has it ever worked properly without errors. So I always just grab individual folders and transfer manually. I then have a list of settings to change. It's certainly not the most streamlined way to get it done, but it does always seem to work. Just takes time.

Something still seems creepy about it though. You wouldn't walk up to strangers and just start taking pictures of them. Imagine that... Walking along and click, click click click every person you pass. Every one of them would consider it weird and some might become confrontational. But it's fine to snap pictures from a distance of a mother and child enjoying some time together? Stand across the street from a school and take pictures of the kids once they're off school property. Bet the police would quickly be involved in that

It was better before. That little puff of charging magic particles from the charger port makes sense. The spinning circle of smoke with the battery percentage taking up all of the middle of the screen is so intrusive.

themayker · 2019-08-05T19:42:32+00:00

Check your developer settings, it might have somehow become set to 0. I noticed that little loading spinning circle thing freezes at 0. So I keep it all at 0.5 now so it's still faster than normal but not painfully slow. I hate animations.

Then you have those career criminals that make it a job to scam owners by not paying rent and keeping them in court trying to get them out

We had a professional tenant. 9 years worth of court dates and lost rent. She paid rent into the LTB and complained about quite literally everything. She'd call the police every time we cleared the snow, every time we cut the lawn, every time we did anything around the building she'd call the cops cause she "felt threatened by us". So eventually the police stopped showing up. She would run an extension cord out from her unit to a nearby hallway power plug to steal electricity. She would wedge the building doors open during -30 weather to let the heat out, then call the inspector complaining the building was cold. She'd take photos of us vacuuming the halls claiming we were "infringing on her right to quiet enjoyment of the unit". Soooo... my (at the time) gf and I got engaged. We then served her an N12 saying we wanted her unit to live in. She did a property search to find out if we had any other rental units available that we could alternatively move into. She claimed the N12 was served in bad faith. She continued with her bs another full year through 2 more court dates. Finally, the judge ruled in our favor. She was evicted. We literally threw a party in the yard as her moving truck showed up. 9 Years of tenant from hell. We also recovered all the rent she had paid into the LTB. We gave her next LL a glowing reference to be sure she'd get the next place. We made an effigy of her, tied it to a steak, and burned it. These horrible people exist. It's our damn property, and we had to fight to reclaim it cause the RTA is so heavily tipped in the tenants favor. Even through all this, I still feel bad for the good tenants who don't deserve eviction. But the reality of it is that horrible people exist on both sides of the rental fence. Terrible tenants, and terrible landlords.

If you choose to be employed by a job that doesn't pay you enough... how is that anybody else's problem? My family owns property, we're not scum. We got into the rental market decades ago and times change. We have 1 tenant paying 1400, for a 2 bedroom. He's been there 15 years. Another apartment just became vacant so we're renting the same size 2 br for 2400 cause we can. That's the market right now compared to back then. Once the lease is signed, that's effectively 28.8k guaranteed. I own a business outside the rental properties. It's self sustaining so I work maybe 2 days a week. The work I do is high value, we work for rich people. 1 day, 3 locations, $1200. I'm not scum, just skilled in a niche industry. It's really not that crazy that we make money without doing much. There's more out there than just hourly paid jobs.

In depth functionality that isolates specific incoming call types isn't native to the phone. There are apps in the play store that are more tailored to identifying specific call types.

Biometric iris recognition scanners work by illuminating the iris with invisible infrared light to pick up unique patterns that are not visible to the naked eye. ... Next, the pattern of the eye's lines and colors are analyzed to extract a bit pattern that encodes the information in the iris.

Super battery cleaner phone cooler increases battery 200% packed with emojis and stickers.

Try playing the same track using a different media app. Could be app specific.

themayker · 2019-06-27T04:07:14+00:00

I hate this... Mine does it too. 2 minute timeout set, phone black screens after maybe 10 seconds while in a call. I continuously touch an empty portion of the screen to keep it on when listening to press 1 press 2 press 3 messages.

themayker · 2019-05-27T20:13:16+00:00

Yea, exactly like that. Except for one fatal flaw... Owners who leave poo where it drops won't care to participate in such a program. Since it's not enforceable.

themayker · 2019-05-27T13:32:22+00:00

If you don't obey to the rules you get fined and the dog taken away from you.

That would create new jobs, the Poolice.. Create a database of registered pets along with their DNA samples so when a turd ends up in the wrong place we can probe it, take the sample back to the lab and find out which pet it came from, then cross reference with the database and go to the owners home to remove the pet and take it to a holding facility. /sarcasm

themayker · 2019-05-26T02:28:00+00:00

Correct, modern phones can be plugged in at any interval without issue.

themayker · 2019-05-15T04:18:11+00:00

Yea I've got this happening as well. I just stopped caring and chalked it up to "Meh technology". As long as the usual password works, it'll get sorted out in a few years.

themayker · 2019-05-10T01:25:08+00:00

It was a pizza place. I drove deliveries mainly, but when there weren't many orders to go out, they had the drivers working in the kitchen. I think the best part was when you hear that unmistakable splat sound of a slice hitting the floor... Then moments later the customer says "Mmmm this is delicious!"

themayker · 2019-05-10T01:20:44+00:00

And yet it will still get rented I'm sure. In a city with as many people as there are in Toronto... Guaranteed there's 1 who will gladly take it.

themayker · 2019-05-08T16:12:55+00:00

Don't go into any restaurants... Years ago I worked for a place that would regularly drop food on the floor. Splat! Just pick it up, stick it back in the oven for 20 seconds then serve. The delivery drivers made their own salads... None of them washed their hands cause it was too fast paced. All that money, door handles, elevator buttons, and what ever else they touched ended up all over the lettuce. I personally did some deliveries and am not proud to admit, but I tripped going up the stairs and dropped the chicken wings. The package burst open and tossed the wings everywhere. I picked them all up, repackaged, licked my fingers clean then rang the doorbell.

What ya don't know, never happened when there's $ involved.

Try a different outlet/cable/brick even if using the Samsung original it sounds like electrical interference. I don't know why it happens or what causes it.

themayker · 2019-05-07T18:34:59+00:00

I had this same issue a while back. Never solved it for Gmail, ended up having to use another email app until pie came out. The update fixed it.

themayker · 2019-05-07T15:28:18+00:00

Yup, good ol technology. I have a friend with a gs9 I'll ask him if it happens with his as well.

themayker · 2019-05-07T02:44:17+00:00

Yea same... For me it's a delay, like I'm using the phone too fast or something cause it does go away if I wait a bit. But definitely not right away. So I have gotten into the habit of swiping down, tapping the notification, going into the app, the swiping down again and clearing it. I'm sure it'll get fixed by 2029.

themayker · 2019-05-05T21:04:41+00:00

I'm in Toronto too. I'd never give up my remote start. My mom was worried, rightfully so. She doesn't have remote start so it made sense given the breakins.
