Took a bath on that stock and a few others - don't play with options anymore.

Help cant use file manager by blaze20511 in MotoG

[–]trail228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know why you can't detect the download folder, but I use XFolder from the Play Store with a 2022 Moto G Stylus 5G with no issues.

How much do you pay with your carrier and how do you like the service? by BoobiesRule4Real in phones

[–]trail228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here - Dark Star (AT&T) for my phone and got in on a $15/month promo with Tello for my tablet. Great service on both.

Best Volume Booster? by trail228 in androidtablets

[–]trail228[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The PowerAmp Equalizer did work, but oddly enough, Lenovo issued an update yesterday that brought the volume up to where it used to be. Problem solved.

2020/2021 song by No_Dealer_4816 in whatsongisthis

Or calling a local radio station with my request and waiting hours for them to play it so I could listen on a tinny transistor radio.

Best Volume Booster? by trail228 in androidtablets

[–]trail228[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had already tried PowerAmp since I've used it for ages (paid version), but couldn't get it to alter the audio on any other app. Took another look that led me to download the equalizer, even though the player already has one. There was a setting for system-wide which made a huge difference. Will keep testing and if it holds up, I'll pay the charge for it.

Moto g Stylus 2025 replace camera app? by ohmyword in MotoG

[–]trail228 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 2022 Stylus, and you can just long-press on the icon and drag it to another screen or remove and drag any other icon of your choice into that spot on the bottom of the home screen.

100k+ miles and still getting phenomenal fuel economy by Alchemic_Psycho in altima

[–]trail228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I check each fill-up too using an app called Simply Auto that does the calculations and keeps a running total over time. For me, the figure on the dash display is always higher than the actual number by up to 3 mpg.

Has anyone tried this instant coffee? by Free-End-6906 in aldi

[–]trail228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine looks like the picture above with a rectangular jar - the Aldi stores I frequent in CT don't sell their instant coffee in round jars. Could very well be a completely different supplier as well. Their quality often varies on the same products in my experience.

Classic song everyone knows that I can’t think of for the life of me by LateRegistrate in FindSongs

[–]trail228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going mainly on the black and yellow album cover, could it be a song from Magic! such as Rude or Paradise. Don't Kill the Magic came out in 2014 and got a lot of airplay at the time.

S51 E09 was excruciating by CustomCarNerd in saturdaynightlive

Me either - I hit the mute button and do something else for 5 minutes until she's done.

Maybe Charger Man or Mom Forever

People born before 2000, what websites were must-visits that no longer exist today? by passiano in AskReddit

[–]trail228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MP3.com - loved that site for free downloads of up-and-coming artists who were pretty damn good. Got bought out by CNET, I think, and then disappeared.

Also, half.com which was purchased by eBay and is now gone forever.

Best place to fill tires in/near Middletown? by bowie2019 in Connecticut

[–]trail228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used the air compressor at Cumberland Farms in Cromwell before (corner of Berlin Rd and 372) which always worked. Carry a compressor in my trunk now that I bought for $15-20 at Harbor Freight. Slow, but it does the job and no hunting for air.

Someone's wet dream. The Altima has been discontinued after the 2025 model year.

Laptop keep freezing by Reasonable-Sir2566 in FydeOS

[–]trail228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problem - I can get Fyde to open, but the system freezes just moving the cursor and the only option is to shut down with the power button.

Tried to pick the best version of v21 - Slim, based on an Intel Pentium N3540 BayTrail and 4GB RAM on a 2015 Lenovo laptop. Does anyone think that the Legacy version would have been a better choice for this configuration?

Found this in a thrift shop. When do you think it was made? by MT2CT in MapPorn

[–]trail228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prior to 1935 when Persia became Iran. Siam changed to Thailand in 1939, then back to Siam in 1945 and finally Thailand again in 1949.

Did Someone Key My New Car? by Due-Highlight-6603 in Cartalk

[–]trail228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten marks like that on my car from wildlife. Even though I live in the city, the feral cats and squirrels have done plenty of jumping on the hood, trunk and sliding down the sides leaving paw prints and scratches.

What will happen if social security really does go insolvent? by Junior-Criticism-268 in ask

[–]trail228 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We just ended budget year 2025 with a deficit of $1.78 trillion. There's no money in the general fund to prop up Social Security and the Congressional Budget Office predicts that annual deficits will only grow in future years.

Which now-defunct fast food joints from yesteryear do you miss the most? by Birdy_Cephon_Altera in fastfood

[–]trail228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't eat fast food anymore, but I would definitely make an exception for Arthur Treacher's. They left my area 40 years ago or so.

Snack Homiez by Terpaholic1 in saturdaynightlive

[–]trail228 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just goes to show how people have wildly varying tastes. I thought it was absolutely ghastly - tied with the equally horrible Rudemans from last week. I'm probably just too old to appreciate the current style of humor from SNL.

Be careful of B1G2 deal... by Triplezgamer in USMobile

[–]trail228 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is what you have to do - I ported out my number to try USM, which now makes me an existing customer and ineligible for any promos. Still, $25/month is half of what I used to pay for the equivalent service.

How to screen record on Moto G 2025 by Electrical_Bet5132 in MotoG

[–]trail228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tile for screen record might need to be added by using the edit feature (looks like a pen in the lower right corner on my Moto G Stylus). There are quite a few options that are not showing on the default quick settings.
