I saw a truck with a sticker on the window that said "my driving scares me too"

Most likely the case, a lot like the lifted 4 wheel drive jeeps that only ever see parking lots. They could go off-road, but likely never will

There are companies now that make adjustable height hitches for what I believe is that exact reason

Granted I've never seen a truck with one of those towing anything, but it at least adds a little bit of functionality back!

That thumbnail combined with the "security wasn't sure if it was their lost pair, or another one someone else lost" is quite the combo

"and if we draw our attention to Figure B, we can in fact see that the crab is not just an enemy but it is also large. Giant, even"

Oh yes, finally!

I had already blocked and reported Gemini as spam in the hopes that it would hide the button (spoiler: it didn't)

If whoever is managing Messages let this go through, maybe it's a good sign for other apps potentially removing their forced AI chatbots from where they don't need to be!

It's not always a conscious decision, but that doesn't mean it isn't sometimes. I would argue that many more bad drivers are just bad drivers rather than they can't help it. I could be very wrong about that, but it won't change my anger when someone almost causes a pile up because they didn't look before changing lanes, you know?

I do agree that having poor/no public transportation (and no sidewalks!) is terrible, and I think a lot of cities that want to keep their residents alive are working to fix that, such as the city I live in. They're adding sidewalks in a bunch of places and making downtown more walkable, but it doesn't change the fact that it's still mostly stroads!

The roads here are super bad, for sure. But it's not exclusively the politician's fault! Just mostly ;)

You can't forget that these drivers are making the conscious decision to not be careful in a multi ton flattening machine

I watch people do this all the time on local roads! It happens on interstates here as well!

Just yesterday I almost had someone pit maneuver themselves on the front of my work truck (that was towing a heavily loaded trailer!) I still don't know why they didn't just slow down and go behind me (or SPEED UP A LITTLE MORE) rather than almost cause a terrible accident, since they turned right 20 seconds later and had ample time to do so

I withhold my "MANIAC" comments for the people around here that weave in between lanes, no turn signal, tailgating, going 20 over

It honestly makes my blood boil with just how irresponsible people that drive like that are

I'm not sure when this actually started, but it's been mildly annoying. I'm not able to find any results online about what causes it, or how to fix it.

In the case of the screenshot, it appears when I click the "Health" tab of Wintoys. This error also sometimes shows up when opening the Settings app, and every time I launch Forza Horizon 5. The error always shows 3 times, one after another, then as far as I can tell nothing else happens.

From my research it has something to do with updating, but I'm not sure why it tries to load it in Horizon 5.

Steps I've taken (not in this specific order)

  • Tried every built in file system/windows error checker (found no errors)

  • Tried copying over an "older" version of the DLL from a previous update stack (required SYSTEM permissions, so didn't press further)

  • Tried repairing using Windows Installation Media ("couldn't repair")

  • Tried updating windows (no luck)

I'm trying here because I'm hoping maybe there are some helpful anecdotes that might be able to fix it! I am using a Ryzen 7 5800X, just in case this is caused by an incompatibility that I don't know about. I can provide more specs/information if needed :)

Edit: reformatted the steps I took, since it looks like it turned into a big wall of text (at least on Sync)

Edit 2: added the edit text 🤫

 

Is there anyone else that isn't on Samsung or using the Samsung APK of Google Messages that actually HAS customizable bubbles?

I'm on a Pixel 7 Pro and have been waiting for customizable bubbles. I've tried the debug values but I only have "bugle" flags and "device country". I've also tried installing the beta version, uninstalling the beta, and downloading the latest APK and manually installing it.

I personally don't like the massive header added by the Samsung APK so I've stayed with the pixel variant.

Not entirely sure if this fits here, but it's development related

 

Honestly pretty well done from what I can tell, but maybe a little excessive

 

Identified by Google lens, so let me know if it got it wrong 👽

 

Rest assured, I did a double take, a cartoon eye rub, and yes, my eyes popped out of my head when I saw it

Mostly because I never expected to see one in person or in my city

Android beta wipe (lemmy.world)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Hey everyone! I thought I'd post this here since the android beta only has 18 subscribers on Lemmy.

I recently downloaded the Android 14 QPR, and in the update message it claimed I could opt out without wiping my phone before "applying" the update. I did opt out, but after beginning the download. After the download and installation, my phone wants to download the stable release of Android 13 and do a full wipe. I assumed "applying" meant actually installing the update rather than downloading.

Is there any way to get around this, or did I just misunderstand the message and opt out in the wrong order and essentially screw myself?

To be clear: I don't mean roll back to stable without wipe, I'm fine with the beta version I have now. I intended to opt out and not get any more updates until release.

 

Yeah, I asked a really dumb question in hindsight
