Yeah, is it on the bottom? Seems like there should be a pipe somewhere more accessible or something.

Wherever it is, firefighters need to be informed of it so that they can make a decision to do the right thing quickly when they are under pressure. I think about various signs like these

that exist to help firefighters quickly understand what they are up against.

I'm currently listening to the 6th of this series, it's a very fun listen.

There is a also "sound booth theater" version of the first book where the characters are all voiced by an actual cast member and there are sound effects. It was incredibly impressive, like an audio movie. I wish the other books had SBT versions too.

If the point of this metric is to gauge how well US schools are teaching literacy, we should only include people who went through the US school system. Which means we should exclude immigrants, both literate and illiterate, from the reporting.

I'd like to include that pools of U.S. born children exposed to children of immigrants in their classroom who have higher English literacy and proficiency may very well benefit from an almost osmosis-like effect. This would seem to be not countable under the metric you're suggesting.

I also hated this change, but there is a setting:

Settings -> Autofill -> Click items to autofill in Vault view

To throw in a second viewpoint: 99% of the time I open the extension, it is to trigger auto-fill. I don't like having my credentials auto-fill on page load, I like to be the one to trigger it.

That being said, I also hated the change that hid the copy buttons, but they have a setting that brings them back.

You may know this, but they introduced a feautre that lets you use Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+L in order to trigger auto-fill. I have disabled autofill on pageload but LOVE this shortcut key.

I'm the same as you in how I use Bitwarden.

I'd also like to add that if you keep repeating that shortcut it will cycle through the different logins you have for the current site.

Nice trick. TIL.

I had no idea!! That’s awesome thanks for sharing.

I'd put the success rate for this feature at about 80% for passwords, 30% for address information, and 0% for payment info (maybe intentional?)

I'm with you about not wanting the autofill, but I use the key combo mentioned below in nearly 100% of cases.

The vast majority of the time I'm opening the extension popover it's because the key combo failed to autofill (site doesn't support it) and I need to manually copy/paste.

For extra fun - the Key combo is customizable if you don't like ctrl-shift-L

Just hit up chrome://extensions/shortcuts and change the combo to something you'd like.

Fun game concept!

Some improvements I would request:

* An option to disable the "success" sound in the settings. It is quite loud.

* There is no way for me to go back and see what my time was once I left the page. I only have the option to replay the game.

On the second point, then all of your games results are stored if you have signed up for an account. You find it under your profile: "Game Activity"

Thanks for the feedback. Finally weekend, so now I have time to look into the feedback. I have added a "Mute sound effects" configuration. Enjoy :-)

I agree - I will add a mute/unmute option. Right now the results are only shown for registered players. Given that most people do not sign up, then I think it would make sense to make a scoreboard for all players.

I know that it is impossible, but it was fun to try to make a 5 color map work. That being said, is this a bug? https://imgur.com/a/zbkYg9j

I can't seem to wrap my head around why this isn't 3 colors.

I have been using the stock alarm app on an Android phone daily for at least 10 years and I've never once had it not work as expected.

I can't fathom how it could possibly be failing that often for you.

I encountered this kind of inconsistency with my Android phone, too (Samsung Galaxy S22). I think every time my alarm failed to go off it was because the phone had automatically updated its OS and restarted overnight, and background apps like the alarm wouldn't run until I entered my pin to finalize the phone's startup process.

I've usually used my $3-4 alarm clock for waking me up in the morning, and then my phone timer for naps.

Now that I just took a closer look, I was able to find a way to disable automatic updates on the phone. (I had to find and tap "Software update > System Update Preferences > Smart Update" in the Settings app.) But I like the alarm clock, so I'll probably keep using it anyway. Better that my phone isn't the first thing I interact with every day.

One thing that Apple has got right with the iphone is: every time it's installed an update over night, restarted, and is waiting for me to enter my PIN to unlock it, the alarm still worked.

Same here, switched to a physical alarm clock after inconsistent alarm behavior post OS updates on my Samsung S22.

I disabled Smart Update after reading your post but considering my phone used to prompt me to update, then started doing them on its own - I wouldn't trust that setting to stick.

I have S22 but don't use alarms much. However, my wife has S23, and this very issue is something I've been banging my head on just last week! Her alarm clock would occasionally not ring, but instead the phone would give a few beeps. My wife has a bunch of stacked alarms in 10 to 30 minute intervals, and I've listened to all of them going "beep beep beep <dead>".

I don't know what's going on there; I've read hints that for some people, their phone thinks it's in a call, and manifest such behavior in that situation. Some reports blame Facebook Messenger. What I know for sure is that it isn't restart or update related.

And yes, it's beyond ridiculous for this to be happening in the first place. It might just become a poster child of how idiotic tech has become. For the past decade or so, it feels that each generation of hardware and software, across the board, is just fucking things up more - even things you thought were so simple and well-understood you couldn't possibly fuck them up, like alarms or calculator apps.

Time zones. I've had trouble while traveling when my phone decides to change time zone, shifting the alarm times unrequested ways. I would appreciate a phone that could properly understand GMT in a way that would allow me to set an alarm at a specific GMT time regardless of which timezone I step into. (yes, I am sure there are XYZ apps that can do this, but I don't see why the base OS cannot handle this without installing more apps.)

One problem with Android phones is that they're all different, sometimes greatly so, because the different phone vendors customize them with their own software, much of which is utter garbage. The stock alarm app on mine has never failed me either, but with some other phone, who knows?

I drove a Polestar when I was in Norway and thought it was really nice, but I've never drove a Tesla before.

What makes it better?

It can be pretty difficult to make retail computer repair profitable at scale. Our company has largely pivoted to IT consulting for other local companies who can benefit more from not having to hire an internal IT team.

Individuals have a much lower ROI from getting IT support. It's expensive to diagnose and fix "why is my computer running slow". And often times the answer is to upgrade your computer. It can be hard to stomach someone charging you an hour of labor for that.
