Will it be possible to digitally rotate the watch face so 12 always points up? Seems trivial but it's something I've always hoped for.

Is there a 'restore from backup' option? SMS backup and restore would be top of list here.

Frontier...in my rural area they are currently charging $74.99 a month for 12 Mbps. Yes that is not a typo. I had to take them to task on social media to get them to lower it to $54.99. My guess is that I'll be fighting them again next year.

Where there is no competition, prices don't go down. In fact, they increase. I'm very rural and my only true option is Frontier. I can only get 12mbps and they keep increasing my rates. They wanted to bump me to $74.99 this year. If they gave me something.. anything.. for this increase, I might have just said 'ok'. When we first got Frontier, the bill was $34.99. Same service. I had to resort to complaining on X and tagging Frontier, just to get a price cut.

custom icon shapes, full icon grid control, in app wallpaper resizing. Android is about customization. Pixel launcher gives you what you need.

Re: How to set up a headless Raspberry Pi

Deralaand — Sat, 13 Apr 2024 08:27:08 -0000

Vilros kit with brand new pie zero W2. fresh install 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS using the Raspberry Pi imager. 32 gig SanDisk card.

When I power this up I get a brief color screen, a blinking cursor briefly and then the monitor tells me that there's no input.

I've tried a different SD card. No change. I've tried the different 32-bit Raspberry Pi OS. No change.

how do I SSH into a Raspberry Pi that I can't tell whether it's booting or not? The green light is on the board. but it's a steady green light. it's not flickering in the first 20 seconds it blinks probably three times then is steady.

this was my pi hole project for the weekend.

Mozilla should build a Google Podcast clone and not integrate it into anything.

Re: Pixel’s At a Glance widget can now reach connected devices

Deralaand — Mon, 28 Nov 2022 11:55:17 -0000

Is there any way to access other 'at a glance' items when one of these timers are present? Like checking the weather while you have a timer running?

Musicolet. Optimized! Probably one of the best personal music apps available.

Is there an app that dials back on the ads? I select this link to possibly see some useful content and have to look away briefly because I can't focus while the screen jumps due to all of the ads loading.

Did Google come up with this on their own? Or were there numerous suggestions made?

Re: Future Wear OS devices will finally let you flip the screen for wearing watches upside-down

I wear the watch on my left wrist with the face down. (palm side) If I could just rotate the screen about twenty degrees clockwise, I would be elated.

Re: Windows 10 is finally getting a decent clipboard with copying history

Deralaand — Tue, 11 Aug 2020 19:37:50 -0000

Why did it take so long? Soooooo long? Clipboard history is arguably as useful as browser tabs. The problem was there were no 'clip board wars' like there were browser wars. :-(

I find myself purposely using Pocket because it puts the article in a clean format without all of the typical distractions found on web sites. Unfortunately the comments section gets left behind.

Re: Top 5 most popular Android apps from last week: KeyMe, Phone

Deralaand — Mon, 04 Jan 2016 05:50:11 -0000

Google Play Edition devices were certain phones that Google decided to sell. These phones came from a variety of different manufacturers, but they all ran stock Android. This is why they were called 'Google Play Edition' devices.

The updated feature list for Phone app looks awesome. Unfortunately, "*This app update is supported on Nexus, Android One and Google Play Edition devices running Android Marshmallow and above." This small caveat excludes a huge number of Android users. :(

Looks cool! $798 seems a bit steep.

Re: Sheriffs dislike the Waze tracker app and want it gone

If Google does remove this ability in the Waze app... 50 million users... there must be someone out there that will build a useful alternative.

Re: Massive Motorola Moto X Discount Begins This Week

Deralaand — Tue, 03 Feb 2015 17:26:45 -0000

I loved Motorola... then Lenovo bought them and the customer service has basically fallen off a cliff. I am currently on hold (24 minutes and counting) waiting to make sure that they don't charge me for a phone that THEY mistakenly shipped me. Ultimately I have been dealing with this customer service over a broken MotoX, since December 22. :-(
