Same thing happened to me, it seemed like it didn't do it when I had just two accounts, but it did do it when I had 3.

Not sure if it has anything to do with certain communities not being federated to the other instances

The passport foldable is fucking awesome imo, Regular phone screen on the outside, 7ish inch tablet on the inside, super awesome as an e-reader, for productivity, etc. And if the inside screen breaks, you will have a usable outside one.

That being said, I Def thing the tech has a ways to go, the soft screens we have today are flawed. I'd really rather see two screens where they are edgeless when the hinge is flat. We have curved screens, just curve two screens and don't use the part under the curve. Samsung was doing that for years to get edge to edge displays.

It's about the symbolism of the color change, the fresh start

I recommend the Asus Zenfone line, flagship processor for a reasonable price (relatively speaking) in a small form factor. It's a godsend for someone like me with small hands. I've had mine for a year or so and I really love it! And I hear the Asus Zenphine 10 is even better.

I find that the cadence of your words matters very much with Google. Like the words matter, but your pitch and tone matter too. I had to retain my model because it wouldn't go off when I'd yell ok Google at it, but it would go off when I'd say "ok cool" in convo. Now I have to say it with a specific inflection for it to recognize what I said. When I say it with the right inflection I'd say it works 80+ percent of the time

I swear, google's quality control on the pixels is just bad. I had a Pixel 5a, when I got it, the phone was a year old. Out of the box it was slow, I tried so many things to get it working correctly and it just never did. Then 7 months in it just died.

After a ton of back and forth with support and them trying to tell me I had water damage when I didn't, I finally got another Pixel 5a. That one works super well in comparison. I didn't use it much because I was so fed up with the whole debacle with Google that I switched to an Asus Zenfone 9. But the little I did use it, it was faster than the other 5a ever was.

My first pixel 5a almost never picked up my "ok Google"s whereas my Asus Zenfone 9 works while it's playing music full volume, or while I'm playing music in the car, and a ton of other situations where my pixel and my galaxy s9 I had before never did. It's so odd.

That being said, the Zenfone is way worse at shazaming things for some reason. I definitely think it's not only a per phone model basis but also a per singular phone basis thing.

It could be coincidentally in line with you getting gunk in your mic or something. Or it could be that your particular phone doesn't handle android 12 very well. I've had less issue with voice recognition on android 12 and 13. Maybe try re-training the voice model.

For Nas and regular files I use cx file explorer, it's really good

[–] candyman337@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (19 children)

I've found on budget/older phones voice recognition is useless, I recommend something more modern of you can afford it, maybe a flagship from a year or two ago

Maybe it's like aloha but with a v

I switched from bitwarden to 1password because the password autofill was less intelligent.

What's your issue with 1password?

 

People say it feels like old reddit and it does to a degree, but in other ways it feels better!

People are so interested in finding alternatives to the systems that we hate, and actually are passionate about supporting those things and developing them into useable and enjoyable platforms.

People are interested in spreading the word about the importance of unions and the climate crisis. Idk if those posts just get squashed on reddit, but I've seen SO much more talk of workers rights and informing others about them.

It just gives me hope about the future for once. Like things are happening that are different, and I know that we can't be silenced here. This is a platform by the people, for the people, and that can't ever be fully taken away.

But you have to choose the instance you're searching, that's the opposite of what I want, I want to search all instances, or at least the top 100 or something, all at once

 

Please read the rules before posting!

This is not a support forum, this is to serve a similar purpose to AskReddit, meaning to ask users their opinions on things, about experiences they've had, etc.

I hope I'm not costing the dev lol
