Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I use Googles tied to my Google account on my Google phone and when I upgrade it will be to another google phone like this one come from. :-) I hate Apple and do not like bloated 3rd party android manufacturers like Samsung and well all of em who skin it and would need me to visit XDA to find a AOSP Rom for it

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I don't like Googles because there is no password or fingerprint option for unlocking the app other than a phone password.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Mine is fingerprint

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

My Samsung phone has Fingerprint, and its 5 years old.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

My old Samsung has fingerprints all over it :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

My Pixel 8 Pro has fingerprint and face recognition for Apps…

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I'm talking about the Google Authenticator app not having a fingerprint option or password when you open it, has that changed?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Open settings and toggle privacy screen

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Thank you that's new to me, I wonder how long they have had that option.

Edit - August 2024.

Edit - I have Privacy screen on my Pixel phone but not on my Samsung tablet, I wonder if it's another setting somewhere.

The app was likely in deep sleep so after updating it I now have that option.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Many Samsung tablets dont have a fingerprint scanner, mine doesnt.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

That setting just enables the requirements to unlock using whatever method your device has whether biometrics facial rec or pin

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

What I don't like now is it's easy to accidentally swipe and delete a code if not paying attention which could be a disaster, is there an option to stop the swipe other than a warning after the event? Atleast if I delete from Microsoft Authenticator it won't instantly remove from all devices.

B&Q's website.

All the items I want are marked "not available in store" and "not available for click and collect" and finally "free postage".

So I enter my address and try to order. I get to payment, and it says, "Lost connection; your order might not have been placed".

It's the same result trying to order them individually or all together, and both Paypal and Credit card.

I phoned them and was told "the items might be out of stock..."

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

B&Q never have what I go for - even after checking it's in stock and which aisle it's in. They do have shelves full of stuff I don't want though, which I guess saves me money :erm:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Oak furniture land did this to us this week. We went up to the local branch to look at a dresser after the website checked and said it was there. When we arrived it was the only item of furniture in that range that they *don’t* display.
Snazzar frazzar.

On the plus side, we got a family load of dinner out of costa coffee for £3.50 while we were there with one of those apps that tell you who’s selling off mystery bags of food at 6pm. :D

Pruritus.... Torturous and so knackering. I'm starting to look like I've been dragged through a thorny bush. And energy levels have dropped through the floor on top of everything else.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Prior to covid, I had a confirmed order for timber and wood sheeting. It didn't turn up due to "stocking issues". Another date was set. That didn't turn up either due to the same reason.

6 missed deliveries later, I went to their local store and saw loads of stock of what I had ordered. I tried to order it for home delivery but was told "All that lot is for trade sales only, mate."

No chance of getting it all during the pandemic, and after it all settled down, the prices were around 40% higher and still haven't dropped. I fully expect the war in the Middle East to jack the prices even higher.

Brother (printer) website errors loading up downloads. I'm trying to install a new printer but I can't and have not been able to for a week now.

The printer itself can find and install new firmware though.

Can't see any downloads, it gives an error.

I never bothered updating my laser Brother firmware because I could never get it to install. If it works I'd just leave it alone.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Nice one thanks.

It's working over WiFi.

Now the brother software can't detect the machine over usb :banghead: detection over WiFi does however :shrug:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Printers used to be so simple. Connected to the PC and they worked. Now you need wifi/bluetooth, endless software upgrades, incredibly expensive cartridges. Also have to wait an age before they actually think about possibly, maybe, printing sometime.

One thing never changes, paper jams. No one has solved that one .

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Not if you have a laser printer.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Or research 3rd party cartridge costs best options canon and epson for cheaper carts and buy a network printer that connects to your router or as Snoopz says buy laser

Misplaced guilt

My Dad wanted me to go round and help him on Tuesday with his FTTP install but the other day his wife said some really horrid things to me saying my mental health was an excuse anyway I might have posted cuz I been a mess since so I said I can not put myself through that sort of thing again and he blamed her dementia that he has not mentioned to me since he said he suspected it. Had I known I may have expected it and it done less damage but she really hurt me. But now I feel guilty for not going round
