This is what I do. Stick a card between the back of your phone and the case and you can tap your phone like you would normally. No one knows the difference.

Glad I’m not the only one who uses Droid-ify for browsing only. I kinda felt bad like I hurt its feelings.

This is a good question. What will the new bar be once the current “old people” are gone?

Maybe the trope would be people who are too busy to fiddle with settings, like a super busy CEO or something.

I had backed it up to an external drive. If I remeber correctly, there may be an option to remotely connect to google cloud from within the kopia app, but you don’t need to create any VM. I don’t have access to Windows to test it now, but you can always download the all the explore it.

I’ve used Kopia before and liked it. It’s cross platform and allows you to browse back through folders on a timeline like macOS Time Machine.

This is amazing. Did not realize it existed. Thank you for sharing

I have had good results with Tesseract. I had to export the PDF to individual jpegs, then batch OCR’d them with tesseract, then merged the individual pages back into a single PDF. If you don’t want to use command line and are okay with it not being open source, PDF24.org does a good job and does not charge.

Tasks.org app because it syncs across Nextcloud or Apple Reminders or Android or Linux, and more.

Not sure how paying for an item online using Zelle is in itself a scam. The scam would only come later if the stranger had requested your bank info, or you reply to a dodgy email, etc, but so far nothing untrustworthy had happened yet? I don’t think that was a good question.

How long before someone makes faux human meat? Would it be outlawed?

Proton recently updated their calendar to include an option to share a calendar with anyone (so they do not need a Proton account to see events).

I like learning about this stuff too. I’m curious what is the point of encrypting a hard drive if it just automatically decrypts on boot? If someone stole your computer couldn’t they could just boot it up and have an unencrypted drive?

flaws in identifying women and people with dark skin highlighted.

Why did I read this as women using makeup to highlight their cheekbones.

Thunderbird 115 looks great on Linux with the Adwaita Gnome theme https://github.com/rafaelmardojai/thunderbird-gnome-theme

Didn’t know this was even possible.

Wow this is great. I could use this to set up something like what macOS is doing with their home hub screensaver.

Another vote for syncthing. It just magically works in the background and is very reliable. I take a photo on my phone and within seconds it’s on my Photos library on my computer. (gThumb and/or Shotwell for Linux work well. )

I really like Nextcloud Tasks. It can sync with many apps: Tasks.org (Android), Reminders (Apple devices), Endeavour (Linux), and more.

Also you can have shared lists such as a shared grocery list that can both add two while still maintaining separate accounts.

If you dont want to host your own Nextcloud, there are third party providers you can use such as woelkli.com.

• You have an offline copy of your email records (and calendar and contacts) on your own computer without needing internet that no one can take away or lose.
• It helps if you regularly check multiple email accounts, such as personal and work, all in one place.
• Email integrates with some applications, such as Photos apps via the built-in share menu.
• Advanced features like email filters, mailing groups, etc, that may not be available on webmail.

This is kinda funny. During a family vacation as a kid, I went down to the hotel business center to use a computer kiosk but it required payment. I was bored so I was clicking around on the locked screen’s hotel logo and got to their company about page, and a bit more link clicking eventually got me out of the company’s website and to a google search page. I browsed for free for what seemed like an hour and did it again the next day before we went home.
