Not sure what books you are talking about, but there is no Pinyin interspersed in mine, and the hsk levels are clearly indicated, so we are probably talking about different books.

For regular to-do lists (like a shopping list) I use Google keep, and it has a widget that displays any list you want on the home screen. It also lets you share lists with others.

For tasks that need a date and time, I create tasks in Google calendar and they are automatically listed on the calendar widget

MacBook is light and functional. If you want even lighter, a foldable phone like the Pixel 9 Pro Fold might do the trick. That way, you only have one device to lug around, instead of carrying both a laptop and a phone.

If you enjoy chess, I recommend Lichess

It's free, open source, no ads, you can play with or without an account, you play against bots or against people of all levels, you can use the app or you can play from the website or you can install the web app

Oh and it loads fast

Enjoy!

Might be your settings or permissions

 

I keep hearing about Android 15 new features, but my pixel 9 pro fold has not updated itself yet. Anyone in the same situation?

Is this update automatic or do I have to do something to activate it?

On Android 14 (Pixel 9), looking around the "settings/Default apps" and I see ""Default caller ID and spam app" is set to "none" instead of the "phone" app.

Did anyone set it to "phone"? It seems it should be that way, so I wonder why it's not already?

I study guitar as a hobby, beginner-intermediate level. I have weekly jam sessions with a friend who is much more advanced.

I usually play notes from minor pentatonic in the key of what he plays. I sometimes use notes from other scales, although this is much more difficult.

I mostly pluck the notes with the pick, occasionally using bends, slides, hammers,etc., but not so much yet, as I am still learning those.

Occasionally I sound good but a lot of what I do is based on luck, trying to stay in rhythm and when I stumble upon a pattern I like, I repeat it a few times.

Over the course of an hour I become repetitive, and after a few weeks, I feel I am running in circles.

Where could I go from there? Any recommendations on learning material that would help me develop that aspect of guitar playing (which is the reason I got into guitar in the first place).

We usually play blues style, but if there is material from other genres that can help me learn, I am curious to hear it.

EDIT: THANK YOU EVERYONE, I WILL TRY YOUR SUGGESTIONS OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.

I have tried a few but they all seem to be putting the priority on features I don't need, like recording the sounds while I sleep. I would just like a log of when I fall asleep and when I wake up.

EDIT: Here is my plan B, until I find an app: when I go to bed, I send a text message to myself. When I wake up, I do the same. It gets automatically time-stamped. Example:

"Ok Google, send a text saying Good Night to NemoWuming"

"Ok Google, send a text saying Good Morning to NemoWuming"

I have a desktop computer with displayport. I heard it was possible to connect 2 or even 3 monitors to it.

I heard not all displayport monitors can be chained like that. Which specifications do I need to look for?

EDIT: THANK YOU EVERYONE. YOUR INFORMATION HAS PUT ME ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

I used to get it a few times a week. Now it's down to about 3 times in 10 years. In case this helps anyone, here is what I do:

  • I never sleep on my back anymore, only on my side
  • If I do roll on my back and if it does trigger it, I focus on moving my feet and toes, up and down and this will wake me up within a minute or less.
  • I informed the person sleeping next to me that if I become agitated or if I start moaning, they can wake me up simply by calling my name and saying "wake up, it's only a bad dream" a few times. I will wake up, feel thankful and peacefully go back to sleep, feeling safe and secure. Knowing that, the other person does the same.

A thousand thanks to the anonymous writer who shared this information years ago.

I study guitar as a hobby. When I practice, I often play a little ahead of the metronome click. I can see it when I record myself with GarageBand.

I have been trying to adjust, but can't seem to progress.

Is there a metronome app that would give me a strong visual clue when I am not exactly on the beat?

Why am I bothering with this?

I have heard musicians talking about making the metronome sound disappear by playing at the exact right time. I also noticed some people frowning when I play a split second before the click. Is it worth improving that aspect? Is there a better way to do it?

  • Edit for clarification: I am looking for an app that will call me out in real-time, either visually or audibly, whenever I play offbeat.

Does anyone know when the new season starts?

 

When I receive a Lemmy email notification on my phone, and I click on the link inside, it goes to the webpage in my browser, instead of opening in the CONNECT app. How do I reassign that? I'm using Google Pixel 7 with Android 13
