Hello! Those of you who bring a charcoal grill with you camping, how do you dispose of the ashes?

That's where I first noticed it too, trying to turn RCS on. Do you have a 6a as well or a different model?

I think that was tied to having multiple user accounts on the phone but you know it wouldn’t surprise me

Don't really know how to explain what's going on so I took a video. When I'm in a Google app, and I click on my profile picture in the top left to switch between Google accounts, I see this recommended actions notification basically flashing. I'm not hitting any buttons or touching the screen. It makes it really difficult to switch between accounts. I've tried seeing what the recommended actions are but there aren't actually any. I've tried removing unused accounts and clearing the cache and data of the Google app but it still does it. Anyone know what's going on?

Nice! Glad you were able to save your settings!

I really wish I could remember what I did. I was messing with it during my lunch break, trying a bunch of different things, and then it started working again. Hopefully you can find a solution that doesn't require reinstalling!

Hey I noticed this earlier this week too but I can't remember what I did exactly to correct this. I think I reinstalled the app but I'm not sure. But yeah, something weird is going on and you're not alone.

Xbox 360 Collecting Question! Is there a list out there of physical releases of Xbox Live Arcade games? in c/xbox@lemmy.world

Xbox 360 Collecting Question! Is there a list out there of physical releases of Xbox Live Arcade games? (lemmy.world)
 

Hi Everyone! I'm getting into collecting for the Xbox 360, and with the announcement that the Xbox Marketplace is shutting down on 360, I wanted to see if there were physical versions of normally downloadable arcade games I could grab. I did find this list here (https://collectorsedition.org/forums/showthread.php?t=5310) but was wondering if there are any more. Thanks!

For longevity, is it better to leave retro consoles plugged in or unplugged? in c/retrogaming@lemmy.world
[–] MrKilroy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I used to be so afraid to leave my consoles on as a kid. I remember that there was something in super smash brothers melee that you could unlock I guess through play time and this one kid was like "just start a match with max lives and let it run over night." And I was so nervous the whole time.

Thanks for your response! I just hooked up all my consoles again for the first time in a couple years and just had the thought that maybe it's better for them to be disconnected but then also maybe they're like cars and where sitting really isn't good for them.

Oh and speaking of old consoles being beasts, I have an Atari 400 that survived a house fire!

So this is a thought I had the other day. Do you think for longevity / preservation it is best to leave consoles connected to power or leave them unplugged, ignoring something like a power surge?

Self Hosting Noob, Freenas vs Ubuntu Server with Samba (lemmy.world)

Hi Everyone,

So, I am very new to self-hosting. A couple of years ago I set up a mini PC running Ubuntu Server with Nextcloud and Jellyfin on my network. Now I think I want to move away from Nextcloud as for me, uploading files to it hasn't been super reliable and it has been a little slow. It also seems to have a lot of features I really don't need.

At the moment, I basically use my server just for file storage, plus running Jellyfin. I think initially I went to nextcloud because I wanted a solution that would automatically sync my files to my network storage kinda like onedrive. However, Nextcloud on different systems doesn't work the same way and I basically ended up just manually copying everything over to Nextcloud and using it like a network drive. At that point, why even use nextcloud then? I would be better off with Sharing a folder using Samba right? Do you think that would be the best fit for my needs? Or should I learn about freenas? Taking a quick look at it I'm not sure what advantages it would have over just a samba share.

Edit: Thanks everyone! You've given me a lot to look into!

My Thinkpad T440p lives (lemmy.world)
 

Hey everyone! You may remember me posting about a week ago about my t440p that would hard freeze after a couple minutes. I'm please to report that the problem seems to be resolved! So because this issue seemed to mostly happen while watching videos I suspected there was something wrong with the onboard graphics. Initially I was under the impression that the graphics chip was on the motherboard but then I learned it was built into the CPU itself. So I bought used CPU for $9 shipped on ebay and here I am typing my success story. By the way, this was like the easiest CPU to replace in anything. In the end was it the CPU or the graphics, I don't know. But its working now!

Thinkpad T440p hard freezing after about ten minutes of use (lemmy.world)
 

Hello everyone! So basically the title. I've already replaced the ram and tried running a different OS and still have this issue. The computer passes all of the onboard diagnostics. Just wanted to see if anyone else has encountered anything like this. Thanks!

Some Redditors say they're walking away after Apollo app shuts down in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] MrKilroy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

When the controversy first started, I thought reddit was doing the ol "announce something way worse than what we actually intend so when we compromise and get what we really want everyone will be happy" but no, they didn't budge at all and acted like assholes in the process. If they just remained silent the whole time that would have been better. Instead they showed how they truly do not care about their users.
