It is until you end up having to blacklist zelle because your banking information was used to defraud someone. I actually had my account broken into, funds deposited from zelle and then all available funds removed from my account in the space of about an hour. Went to pay for something the day after and had to call my bank’s fraud department. They tried the same thing with a second account of mine but it was flagged immediately when they tried to use the same login credentials (they weren’t remotely the same). So no zelle for me. It’s permanently disabled by both my banks for security reasons.

Wish they’d add the new games to the website so I could wishlist them. I’m looking forward to this.

When you ask assistant to set a timer it may hang up. Most of the time that works (for me). Gemini can’t do that or couldn’t do that about a month ago when I was seeing articles about it. There’s key functionality of assistant that Gemini is just bad at. Ask it to launch an app for you? It will bring up a search of app launchers. It will not launch Gmail.

Isn’t there a new 9th planet we can’t see yet but we have detected because of it’s gravitational pull on things around it?

I guess it’s still a theory.

They were my go to for a long time for good charging cables and dongles. Don’t know what happened with them. I do know they got delisted from online shops.

I’ll still shop there if I can use trade in credit for old tech. But I literally only spend the store credit I get back from old tech. Its usually something that’s several years old and worth like $40-50, and I spend it on something I was planning to buy anyway. I’ve tried reselling that kind of thing on eBay. It doesn’t move because nobody wants a windows 7 computer or an old pair of earbuds from 7 years ago.

That’s illegal. They were trying to force you to abandon your job as retaliation. And even if they have no paperwork to the effect a good lawyer would be able to prove it was retaliation. But of course they don’t pay enough for their employees to actually retain a lawyer. Shame, cause the payouts can be really good.

It’s illegal to charge for water in the US.

This also works for pool. Don’t ask me how I know.

So, if you’re playing undocked (either because you have a switch lite or because you have nowhere to set up a dock) my advice won’t help. But if you connect the switch dock directly to your modem via Ethernet cable (if this is possible for you) using a USB A to Ethernet dongle, you’ll at least have a more stable connection than connecting via wifi. We don’t know the age of your wifi router or anything else about your setup though, so it may be any one of those factors as well.

My asvab score was a 92. Had a migraine that morning. Can we not do this? This is just silly.

I recommend some clips. The kind used to hang laundry. I believe that trashcan comes with a swiveling lid not pictured here and if the bag is installed properly the lid will hold it in place. But if you don’t have the lid (they’re not made of a particularly durable material or to a durable design spec), the clips do work.

92, Can we not do this?

So it has support for hearing aids. But nothing for the automotive side of things in that regard for the hard of hearing. His phone was connected to the car via Bluetooth. But no sound was coming from the cars speakers, and that sound was not transmitted to his hearing aid.

The onscreen toggle setting for Google maps does not show up until you select to navigate to a destination (this was a problem, because at first we couldn’t even see if it was toggled on). Picking a destination and choosing to start navigation made that toggle show up, and it was toggled on but we still had no sound.

There’s a settings toggle at the bottom of his screen (mine is not the same, I checked that both apps are updated to the latest firmware), and that settings menu has toggles for things like assistant voice/smart features related to the app, but no sound features. To get to the advanced sound features for the app you have to select your profile from the menu, then select settings, then select Navigation settings, and only then can you select things like “mute state”, or “guidance volume”.

Specifically things like “play voice over Bluetooth” which was not selected by default after his last update. This is not a setting he even knew existed or knew how to find. So I honestly doubt he deselected it.

My pixel 8 has accessibility features that allow for quick toggles. To control things like screen brightness and volume. It also has more settings for the hard of hearing than his. His S23 has the support for hearing aids but not things like sound amplifier that I was looking for. And audio adjustment which would have been useful to allow him to rebalance the sound for the ear that doesn’t use a hearing aid. I actually wonder if that’s a developer settings thing and why it should be hidden that way.

I also couldn’t select what type of Bluetooth device he was using (but this may be because of the make and model of his car, not a shortcoming of Google or Android).

For him I’m sure this was very confusing because it seemed convoluted even to me. Anyway in the long run, we got voice prompts for navigation up and running, and he was happy with that. But the bar for entry for the hearing impaired seems a bit high.

I was actually helping an aging coworker who wears a hearing aid set up some features on his phone and connecting his phone to Bluetooth. I was significantly disappointed with the lack of features geared toward those who are hard of hearing. Specifically in driving mode for Android auto. He’s got a newish phone (S23) so it’s not that. And the settings were far too convoluted to find for my tastes.

It really bothered me quite a bit that I couldn’t make the Bluetooth register that he was using a car and therefore speakers, not headphones. And further that the settings for voice prompts in the maps app requires he go into his personal Google settings to change toggles because the app user facing one is only available once you pick a destination and he couldn’t hear it.

Is it too much to ask for a long press shortcut?

They should tape it to supply some strain relief and prevent someone tripping over the cords from tearing the whole thing apart.

We clearly need to bring back the big red rubber stamp. Just stamp it “SCAM” and leave it somewhere like a bulletin board. Because if they want to waste their money and paper, we should make it expensive for them. The stamp isn’t expensive really and ink pads are fairly cheap and last a long time.

Commercial radio stations pay about 12 cents per play, while college stations pay about 6 cents per play. Half of the money goes to the publisher and half goes to the songwriter or songwriters.

It’s always been a crap shoot for musicians. They make more money touring which is why even really successful musicians tour well into their twilight years.

Record sales are also a crapshoot. Someone else posted the numbers for those in this thread. Streaming allows more access by more people to more music. But that access results in a cost. The cost is less pay per listen. The entire industry is broken.

I know I know, Reddit post. But there is in fact a soft data cap. The guy who made the post was torrenting and received an email for reaching the data abuse threshold.

If you’re using FI, and you set the device your using the phone hotspot for to metered connection you’re not too terribly likely to reach the data cap on pretty much any of the unlimited fi plans. I do this for work.
