Oh ok. My US bank needs 2FA and Google voice won't work with it

What do you use? I need 2FA for US companies via text and am looking for a Google Voice replacement.

I recently tried UpNote which is pretty cross platform.

Maybe give that a try and if you like it, they have a lifetime license.

(I'm not affiliated with them but I've tried every major note taking app and recently landed on this one that I've been pretty happy with)

Can anyone recommend a better note taking app than the default? in c/[email protected]

I've been through Evernote, Apple Notes, OneNote, and Notion.

I highly recommend "UpNote" which is cross platform and has awesome sync. You can pay a small monthly fee or grab it for the lifetime fee which is incredibly affordable. I recently switched over for work and personal and I'm so glad I did.

Ah ok. Well congrats on your new purchase! Whenever you feel you've got a good handle on it, would love your thoughts.

I actually use a Samsung tab S5e and am considering upgrading. How is the P11 Pro Gen 2?

I have a similar situation. Have you thought about submitting feedback to Apple regarding the issue so they can take the scroll bar into consideration and subtitle placement? https://www.apple.com/feedback/

Could I ask more about it? My wife is an iOS user.

To confirm, are you also toggling the Japan region for searches?

Recommended Banks, let's share! (lemmy.world)
 

I wanted to mention some good Japanese banks for those looking:

SBI Net Bank: If you can read Japanese, this is one of the best UIs and mobile apps around. You also get a ton of free furikomi transfers per month (I think I have about 10)

Shinsei Bank: A physical bank but also offers online options with an English UI for those that need it. This seems to be the go-to recommended bank for expats.

Sony Bank: I have this bank specifically because all incoming international money transfers are free, meaning they don't charge you any fees to receive it. SBI used to charge be about 2500 yen every time I received international payments, even in yen. Shinsei has a system where they reimburse you each month if you have a certain amount in your account, so international money transfers will eventually be almost free.

How about you? What banks have you been happy with?
