I had a laptop a while back with a fingerprint scanner that would work for one day, then stop working completely. I reinstalled the drivers, and it would work for a day and then stop again. I eventually gave up using the fingerprint scanner until I "upgraded" the laptop to Windows 11, and it worked again. No idea if it still works, since I rarely use that laptop now
You could either have the world's worst luck, or you are genuinely cursed
Alternatively, you keep spilling coffee on your devices and going into a blind fit of cleaning rage that blocks out the memory of the original coffee spill
One of my friends apparently organized a hang out for all of us this weekend, two weeks ago, but I forgot about it and he got mad
That same friend asked me if I wanted to go to a concert at least twice in the couple of hours we were hanging out
Ok, MICHAEL, I see how it is!
Lol I misunderstood what you meant, my bad
Yeah, Windows won't show it unless you can get a Mac font on there, I guess
I think Windows' is just a normal letter in a specific font, if I remember correctly!

Thank. You for .the. gracious. Offer. ! I.will.provide.my.banking.info.in.future....```Got this post in my feed, on my android phone, and was very confused on why you would want to type a Google logo on your mac
Very quickly realized Google just made that character their logo as well lmao
That just made me realize that a local soda brand here (Dr. Enuf) had (very thin) Styrofoam labels for the longest time! They only recently changed them, and I knew something was different but couldn't quite put my finger on it
Coincidentally the company that makes Dr. Enuf also created Mountain Dew, then sold the brand to Pepsi
I gotta learn how to levitate 40 feet off the ground on my photo walks, man
I also need to go on photo walks, man...
This one worked pretty well...
I think he was trying to do the Warner Bros cartoon thing where a character's head turns into a pan shape when hit by a pan....
Larson captured the zeitgeist of that toon trope, and the figures being arrested are well sized for the frame
"Besides, Simmons, when are you going to finally get rid of the giant haybale?!"
"I NEED it."
"Uh, I mean it's for employee morale"
It took me too long to realize the other one said "cos" and not "con"
I was like "why tf does rotating chili 90 degrees make it sinful?"
I guess I'm a millennial at 21
To be fair the school I went to was trapped in the mid 90s so I still regularly saw VHS tapes and Windows XP for most of my K through 8th grade years
Unfortunately such is the ways of YouTube. The actual video is pretty interesting and the channel itself goes into a lot of math explaining why and how regarding the topics.
Also, as thumbnails go, this one isn't really that bad
I always get surprised by how big they look because for some reason I keep thinking they're small
Maybe it's just the shock from seeing them in person and trying to figure out why my world is de-rendering
I'm not sure when this actually started, but it's been mildly annoying. I'm not able to find any results online about what causes it, or how to fix it.
In the case of the screenshot, it appears when I click the "Health" tab of Wintoys. This error also sometimes shows up when opening the Settings app, and every time I launch Forza Horizon 5. The error always shows 3 times, one after another, then as far as I can tell nothing else happens.
From my research it has something to do with updating, but I'm not sure why it tries to load it in Horizon 5.
Steps I've taken (not in this specific order)
-
Tried every built in file system/windows error checker (found no errors)
-
Tried copying over an "older" version of the DLL from a previous update stack (required SYSTEM permissions, so didn't press further)
-
Tried repairing using Windows Installation Media ("couldn't repair")
-
Tried updating windows (no luck)
I'm trying here because I'm hoping maybe there are some helpful anecdotes that might be able to fix it! I am using a Ryzen 7 5800X, just in case this is caused by an incompatibility that I don't know about. I can provide more specs/information if needed :)
Edit: reformatted the steps I took, since it looks like it turned into a big wall of text (at least on Sync)
Edit 2: added the edit text 🤫
Is there anyone else that isn't on Samsung or using the Samsung APK of Google Messages that actually HAS customizable bubbles?
I'm on a Pixel 7 Pro and have been waiting for customizable bubbles. I've tried the debug values but I only have "bugle" flags and "device country". I've also tried installing the beta version, uninstalling the beta, and downloading the latest APK and manually installing it.
I personally don't like the massive header added by the Samsung APK so I've stayed with the pixel variant.
Rest assured, I did a double take, a cartoon eye rub, and yes, my eyes popped out of my head when I saw it
Mostly because I never expected to see one in person or in my city
Here's my original post: https://lemmy.world/post/5472108
(I have no idea if you can, or how to cross post on lemmy)
Hey everyone! I thought I'd post this here since the android beta only has 18 subscribers on Lemmy.
I recently downloaded the Android 14 QPR, and in the update message it claimed I could opt out without wiping my phone before "applying" the update. I did opt out, but after beginning the download. After the download and installation, my phone wants to download the stable release of Android 13 and do a full wipe. I assumed "applying" meant actually installing the update rather than downloading.
Is there any way to get around this, or did I just misunderstand the message and opt out in the wrong order and essentially screw myself?
To be clear: I don't mean roll back to stable without wipe, I'm fine with the beta version I have now. I intended to opt out and not get any more updates until release.
