I love talking about tech and eating nachos. Not necessarily in that order.

Ok #Android hive mind, why does my pixel keep putting itself into do not disturb mode whenever I turn on a timer, rendering the timer silent and therefore useless?

I am getting tired of burning things.

darrsil,

@DrTCombs That's pretty weird. Are you using voice to do it via Assistant or setting it yourself?

Please repost on #Threads...

Open Invitation from Mastodon

So you've joined Mark Zuckerberg's new app that uploads your entire phone. That's cool. Have fun.

You may have heard of Mastodon. We are something different. A little more complicated and a lot more egalitarian. No billionaires sucking up your financial and health info here. Just good honest friendly human engagement.

If you grow tired of vacuous celebrity posters, and algorithm selected content, give https://spreadmastodon.org/ a try.

darrsil,

@mastodonmigration This website is just randomly asking for my Mastodon login info for... what? To "Enhance" it?

I have a stupid #GoogleVoice question.

I can make and receive calls on https://voice.google.com/ - but it seems the only #Android app is part of "Workspace" and requires a subscription in the UK.

Is that right? Is there any other way to make or receive Google Voice calls on a phone if you're in the UK?

darrsil,

@Edent Voice may be lumped in with the Workspace brand but you can use it on Android (and iOS) without a subscription

darrsil,

@Edent Here's the one I use in the US, not sure if it's the same for the UK:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.googlevoice

darrsil,

@Edent When I load the app the splash screen does say Workspace for me, but I'm still able to use it for calls

Prigozhin v. Putin :: DeSantis v. Trump.
There is no one to root for.

darrsil,

@jeffjarvis The only hope is they both defeat themselves

A few folks have asked me if Pixels will still get that "battery health" feature I spotted in the Android 13 QPR betas.

While the feature was removed from the SettingsIntelligence app in Android 14 Beta 1, there's a chance it could be brought back.

(For context, see this tweet: https://twitter.com/MishaalRahman/status/1577764997547057152)

darrsil,

@MishaalRahman Hmmm. So if they don't add it officially, is it as easy as someone creating an app to hook into those APIs to show that battery info?

Samsung backs down from its threat to switch its Android phones to Bing

Samsung and Google's contract dispute comes to an end, as usual, in favor of Google.

darrsil,

@arstechnica That's actually disappointing. I'd like to see Google be forced to actually compete.

Bluesky had an amazing weekend. How should it capitalize on that? Here are four suggestions (that Mastodon could probably use, too): https://www.platformer.news/p/blueskys-big-moment

darrsil,

@caseynewton It can capitalize on it by opening up the gates and inviting new users.

If it doesn't, it will go the way of Google+ which had great word of mouth in the beginning but by the time they opened up people didn't care anymore.
