(inb4 ethernet over HDMI: There is no implementation of the spec in the wild).

How about Thunderbolt? This looks like macOS, and while I'm not 100% sure if they utilize HDMI ports anymore, they certainly use Thunderbolt.

I know the feeling, I just had a week off and returned to work on Friday a couple of days ago.

That's quite unfortunate to hear. I use Bitwarden along with Gboard and very rarely run into issues - I believe most password managers have a quick settings toggle that you can add into your notification drawer to maybe get around this? From what I know though, these generally use the Accessibility framework to function, and thus will heavily depend on your password manager - it also gives a lot more access to those apps than the built in autofill framework.

Conversely I remember Bitwarden's autofill support on iOS being quirky when I last used it (which to be fair, has been a while - I'm sure its improved since then). IIRC it pretty much always worked in Safari (and Safari Web Views within apps), but the actual applications themselves wouldn't always give me the autofill prompt.

For me though, regardless of the platform it still is far more worth using a password manager and unique passwords per-site than to use a single password (or even a handful) across sites. I hope autofill support improves for those that it doesn't work well with.

I've had health issues since I was a kid (all stemming from developing Crohn's Disease symptoms before I was even a teenager), and a lot of them still haven't been resolved (in part of reasons such as developing new conditions due to medications I took to treat another condition). One of the worst things I fear is that if I randomly end up leaving this world in a way that incurs an autopsy, the results will end with something like "Damn, this man had issues. If his doctors had known about X then he could've lived a much better life, the treatment is simple".

I go through so much, and I've done countless research to try to track down possibilities that my doctors hadn't considered (some of my research has in fact lead to me finding out new things that my doctors didn't account for, even as of this year) - and I always have this terrifying doubt of "What if I had just chosen a different doctor, the next one on the list might've had this idea years ago and prevented some of this". That line of thinking of "Could've, should've, would've" doesn't help of course (as my friend likes to tell me "What if the sky were green?") but that doesn't stop me from thinking about it more often than I'd like to.

A lot of Rocket League! Additionally I've been having a pretty good time with Star Trucker.

Then recently I've been streaming Helldivers 2 from my PC to my Deck while it's connected to the living room TV, which has been fun.

I thought this was a limitation on the carrier you used, rather than the brand of phone? While I've not used any Samsung phones (well, none that ran Android), I've gone through various carriers and some of them have supported VVM in the Google Phone app, and others don't seem to.

Jeez, no wonder Infinite has always had such a bad reputation then!

As far as I recall, Infinite has had online co-op, just not local/split screen co-op.

But don't quote me on that!

Try resetting your Firefox profile. Sometimes a weird setting can break browsers in spectacular ways.

This was a big one for me, for the longest time I could not figure out why I couldn't get YouTube to play videos over 1080p for me in Firefox on my PC, it ended up being some weird setting that I changed in about:config (I sadly cannot recall which one) a long time ago - but I'd always copied my Firefox profile with me so that bad setting stuck around.

Oh wow, I didn't expect another release so quickly! Props to the COSMIC team! I can't recall where the roadmap for the features and their targeted releases went, but I hope we can get Night Light/Blue Light filtering soon.

I also did not know they had a Mastodon account, thanks for the shout so that I could give 'em a follow.

Ah gotcha, fair enough!

Just in case you (or anyone else) weren't aware, Rocket League can still be played perfectly on Linux via Steam by just force enabling Proton - however nonetheless I 100% agree.

I just had this notification come up, not sure if it's exclusive to ~~Pixel Watches~~ (appears to be Pixel Watch exclusive currently) and Pixel phones - but seems to be a more "intelligent" version of Trusted Devices since supposedly the range is shorter, and it requires your watch to be unlocked.

Seems nice. If your phone is unlocked by the watch, a screen on the watch will appear for a few seconds that lets you relock the phone (and I suspect prevents it from unlocking again until the PIN is entered).

Obligatory "trust your surroundings" disclaimer if you enable this. I haven't had the opportunity to test the range yet, but I'll certainly enjoy it at home at the very least.

Google has a support document on this feature here - provided by @[email protected]

 

It seems like the communities list that comes up has less entries than I would expect it to, is there a max amount of communities that can show up, or a different type of filter? For example, I'm subscribed to the Summit community, but it only shows if I do a search for it.

Additionally, is there a way to change the sorting for it to alphabetical order, instead of by MAUs?

Hopefully I haven't missed something obvious, or I'll feel quite silly!

 

Back in the Android Wear says, this used to be a feature on my Moto 360, but then in WearOS' next generation/rebranding the feature was lost. Under the idea of separating the watch and phone they somehow just couldn't even include the setting to opt into this.

Just like setting off a timer or alarm on the phone would go off on the watch... Alarms are back (bidirectional too!) but not the timers sadly.

I guess we finally have the technology to sync the two devices again without an external app being installed on both.
