The pixel 7 and 8 I use never have those problems. I suspect the culprit is your network signal, not your phone. Do you have a reliable provider and are you in a location where the signal travels well?

Oh? I can confirm it's true for North America and China, at least.

Is it the middle one that gets debunked?

I have tried a few but they all seem to be putting the priority on features I don't need, like recording the sounds while I sleep. I would just like a log of when I fall asleep and when I wake up.

EDIT: Here is my plan B, until I find an app: when I go to bed, I send a text message to myself. When I wake up, I do the same. It gets automatically time-stamped. Example:

"Ok Google, send a text saying Good Night to NemoWuming"

"Ok Google, send a text saying Good Morning to NemoWuming"

I have a desktop computer with displayport. I heard it was possible to connect 2 or even 3 monitors to it.

I heard not all displayport monitors can be chained like that. Which specifications do I need to look for?

EDIT: THANK YOU EVERYONE. YOUR INFORMATION HAS PUT ME ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

I study guitar as a hobby. When I practice, I often play a little ahead of the metronome click. I can see it when I record myself with GarageBand.

I have been trying to adjust, but can't seem to progress.

Is there a metronome app that would give me a strong visual clue when I am not exactly on the beat?

  • Edit for clarification: I am looking for an app that will call me out in real-time, either visually or audibly, whenever I play offbeat.

Why am I bothering with this?

I have heard musicians talking about making the metronome sound disappear by playing at the exact right time. I also noticed some people frowning when I play a split second before the click. Is it worth improving that aspect? Is there a better way to do it?

Going to the bathroom in the middle of the night sounds like a negative

Panache is the ability to show off in a more or less entertaining way, depending on talent. It's a fine line between panache and cringe, and what counts as panache in one social circle might be worthless in another.

Charisma is the ability to stand out and capture people's attention, and eventually their respect, admiration and devotion, just by the way you move, speak, act and present yourself and your ideas. If you think you have it, and you actually do, you can influence a lot. However, if you think you have it but it's not true, then you are probably a narcissist surrounded by yes men.

I like Boost because when I revisit a post, all the new comments are highlighted.

If you like to play chess, check out www.lichess.org

It's free and open source, and it's very easy to find a game there, no matter what level you play.

It doesn't display annoying ads.

The off light reminds me to unplug the device when I don't need to use it.

Playing and studying chess, on www.lichess.org. It's a free open source alternative to the heavily commercial chess dot com.

Learning a new language. Tons of free resources all over the internet

Learning card magic. You can go a long way with just a pack of cards and the 52Kards YouTube channel

Learning to play music. Tons of free resources all over the internet

Don't worry, things have been falling apart since at least the beginning of written history, and most certainly longer. At the same time, wonderful things have also been happening during all that time.

Just make sure you take good care of yourself and of the people around you.

Does anyone know when the new season starts?

In the US, the 12-hour clock format is in widespread use, except in the military. That is why it's called like that.

Someone actually was once offered the opportunity to ask such a question. Here is the question that was asked:

  • What is the content of the pair in which the first half is the best question I can ask, and the second half is the answer to that question?

Here is the answer received:

  • The best question you can ask is the question you just asked, and the answer to that question is the one you are receiving now.

When I receive a Lemmy email notification on my phone, and I click on the link inside, it goes to the webpage in my browser, instead of opening in the CONNECT app. How do I reassign that? I'm using Google Pixel 7 with Android 13

I see pre-ordering a Pixel 8 Pro would get me a free Pixel Watch. A quick look makes me see they can be used with FitBit (which I don't use nor need).

For those of you who use those watches, what are the other features you enjoy the most? What has improved your daily routine? What would you miss if you lost the watch? Etc.

Thanks for any insights!

What is the meaning of the white dot that appears occasionally in the notification bar and on the lock screen?

[-] NemoWuMing@lemmy.world 24 points 9 months ago

Compare with yt-dlp from GitHub. It works from the command line and you can control the quality level you want.

Does anyone here use it? What are your impressions? What are the advantages for you? Anyone tried it and then turned it off? What did you dislike about it?

Edit: This is found under Settings/Notifications (at the bottom of that list)

Posting this hoping the Connect dev can see it.

In the list of posts, we can see the comments icon, followed by the number of comments, and then something like (+5) if there are 5 new comments since our last visit.

Is it possible to change the color of these new comments in the comments list? It would be much easier to find them that way.

On my old Galaxy S7, the text would periodically move to different spots on the screen. Is there a way to do that on the Pixel 7?

Edit: Thank you everyone for your feedback, I'm going to use the AOD as is.
