I keep hearing about Android 15 new features, but my pixel 9 pro fold has not updated itself yet. Anyone in the same situation?

Is this update automatic or do I have to do something to activate it?

Clothing and towels made with asbestos fabric. During the middle ages you could clean them by throwing them in the fire and they would come out clean. Eventually your lungs would give up on you but for a while you had a very cool way to impress your guests.

On Android 14 (Pixel 9), looking around the "settings/Default apps" and I see ""Default caller ID and spam app" is set to "none" instead of the "phone" app.

Did anyone set it to "phone"? It seems it should be that way, so I wonder why it's not already?

I was using my phone to access Reddit through an app called RIF. It stopped working.

I can access Lemmy on my phone through an app called Boost. When I revisit a thread, it displays the new comments in a different color. Very very very convenient for active threads.

I study guitar as a hobby, beginner-intermediate level. I have weekly jam sessions with a friend who is much more advanced.

I usually play notes from minor pentatonic in the key of what he plays. I sometimes use notes from other scales, although this is much more difficult.

I mostly pluck the notes with the pick, occasionally using bends, slides, hammers,etc., but not so much yet, as I am still learning those.

Occasionally I sound good but a lot of what I do is based on luck, trying to stay in rhythm and when I stumble upon a pattern I like, I repeat it a few times.

Over the course of an hour I become repetitive, and after a few weeks, I feel I am running in circles.

Where could I go from there? Any recommendations on learning material that would help me develop that aspect of guitar playing (which is the reason I got into guitar in the first place).

We usually play blues style, but if there is material from other genres that can help me learn, I am curious to hear it.

EDIT: THANK YOU EVERYONE, I WILL TRY YOUR SUGGESTIONS OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.

Most of the hate against liberals has been seeded by Russian troll farms.

Most of the hate against conservatives has also been seeded by the same farms.

When the hate is picked up on by the locals, then that farm's work is considered effective.

An actual civil war is the big prize.

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?

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.

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?

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)
