I used this feature for the longest time back when Photos storage didn’t count towards your free 15 GB if you used the compressed option. And then they went and made it so everything counted towards your 15 GB, no matter what quality you were backing up at, and suddenly my account was using too much storage space to keep receiving email. I go into Google Photos to clear out some of the largest pictures and videos to get a few gigabytes back, and it tells me that if I do that it’s going to also delete those photos stored locally on my phone. So now Google Photos is uninstalled because if I ever let it back on my phone it’s going to delete all my pictures.

I got it again unfortunately, here’s a screenshot of what it looks like

Looks like it didn’t work unfortunately 😞 Thank you for the suggestion though!

What does this mean?

In comparison to things like Twitter and Reddit, Facebook has actually been the most difficult to completely abandon because of Messenger. All my friends use it, and an attempt at switching everyone to Signal didn’t manage to stick. I would delete my Facebook account right now if it were possible to separate the two services.

Windows 10

When it happens, it doesn’t let me do anything other than stay on the already loaded webpage without restarting.

Open a new tab > “Restart to continue…”
Click a link > “Restart to continue…”
Type a URL > “Restart to continue…”
and etc

Thanks! I had no idea this setting existed and it will make Firefox so much more practical for me to use.

Amazing, I’ll give that a shot

I just wish Firefox updates weren’t so intrusive. Having it hit me with “Firefox updated in the background, restart to continue using Firefox” while I’m trying to use QuickBooks for my job is so disruptive when QuickBooks doesn’t save automatically and never opens back up to where I left it off. I won’t go back to Chrome, but I never had it pull that sort of forced restart on me.

It shouldn’t be draining like that, at least…

That decreased bandwidth would still help to maintain a digital connection though, wouldn’t it? There’d be a weaker and slower connection as the devices get further apart, so I was thinking less demand on the connection would keep them from dropping it.

I don’t think it’s the same as what you meant exactly, but I looked it up and Bluetooth does hopping between 2.402 and 2.480 GHz.

I wonder if this has anything to do with how the bandwidth is automatically decreased when taking a call vs when you’re just playing audio. Less bandwidth means a slower but more robust connection or something like that?

This is the kind of thing I had in mind!

Aero is more than just the blur effect, modern OS’s still have that in spades.

Can we return to Aero? Is that too much to ask?

I don’t want to disable all automatic updates though. I still want my apps to update, I just want the Play Store to stop updating the one app that the Amazon App store should be updating because the version the Play Store installs every time it does is worse.

Nope it does it in the background all on its own and it completes it just fine unfortunately. I found how to disable automatic updates for a specific app now though, so at least I won’t have to worry about it anymore.

Do they not already? I’m fucking tired of the Play Store “updating” the sideloaded version of the Kindle app (the one that comes from the Amazon App Store and lets you actually buy ebooks) to the version on Google Play (which only lets you read ebooks you bought outside the app).

Just Jellyfin and modded Minecraft right now. Nothing super interesting, but great fun.

I’m using SSH to interact with the Minecraft server in tmux, and the web interface for Jellyfin.
