My phone keyboard right now is constantly showing "< voice input" where the word suggestions should be. This text/button seems to do nothing other than go back to the suggestions when I tap it. It's quite annoying, and my microphone works fine when I want it.

I don't know if ignoring is the word for it, but I don't trust for shit the dashboard warnings in my car. I'm pretty sure they don't report issues. I haven't tried to have it checked, but the car is old and I try to pay attention in some other ways.

Automod. Need I say more?
Back when I was still using Ubuntu MATE about half a year ago or so, I started having this really odd problem where signing into my account after a reboot would bring me to a blank screen with only my desktop background and nothing else. No taskbar, no panels, not even the cursor if I recall correctly.
Some furious Googling brought me to a serverfault thread that suggested that switching to tty7 with CTRL + ALT + F7 followed by ALT + F1 to switch back would alleviate it... and it did! But the problem returned on every login.
So for about six months I just had that as part of my routine on any reboot. Log it, switch to tty7, switch back to tty1. It was stupid and I hated it. Mostly because I didn't understand what I was doing or why it fixed anything.
On a tangent, this is precisely the thing that makes people intimidated by Linux, I think... it's not so much the inability to do things. Rather, even when you are given a way on a silver platter, you don't feel like you're really in control because you don't know what the black magic incantation really does. It's a truly horrible feeling.
I never did resolve the problem. I eventually nuked that OS and paved over its ashes with Debian Testing + KDE Plasma 5, and I haven't looked back.
Iβm still ignoring it! (Kinda)
I live in a house that is big (ish) - 2 stories + basement, and about 1800 square feet. (So like 18 feet by 40 on each floor.)
I have 5 mesh routers because ASUS is absolute trash at making routers that just work.
(Disclaimer: Some of their routers are fine, but I own ET8βs and XD5βs - they are trash.)
Voicemail. It claimed that it was full and was actually empty for about 2 years. It's now randomly working again, but I've been trained to ignore voicemail.
Not getting a UPS for my server. Even though I'm pretty sure one of my VMs got corrupted (it won't boot in ESXi anymore) after the server shutdown during a brownout several months back. I've had a server at home for like 4yrs now. Have experienced multiple brownouts. Still don't have a UPS, even though I always look for one.
I can't imagine running a server without a UPS unless you only use it for experimental stuff...
It is a homelab, so it's all basically experimental. I don't really need any of this.
But yes, I should absolutely just buy a UPS =x
Grab a Pyle power conditioner off of Amazon. It'll run you 100 bucks, but you get the benefit of AVR which is more important imo than being able to run while the power is out.
So this is instead of the UPS, rather than in addition to?
I'm looking at one now and I'm assuming it's like a big surge protector type thing. Do UPS have these built in?
So ups have AVR (automatic voltage regulation), that is a big part of the selling point. The power that they output is "clean". One of these is basically AVR without the battery.
It's not quite as good as a good ups+AVR, but it's a fuckload cheaper and you don't have to replace the batteries every 6 months.
Any time an android phone I own gets older than, say, a year, the volume controls get more and more sluggish. I feel like it's a form of planned obsolescence, but I haven't ever heard of anyone else talking about it.
Seems like you may not be hearing of anything if the volume is that bad
Yeah, the ear-blast videos take a full two or three seconds to register that I'm hitting the volume button. Tinnitus hit me like a train
Never noticed that before
You don't need a windows license if you know what slm rearm is
Or massgravel's MAS
After i switched from windows 11 to nobara, the os would rarely randomly freeze and the only way i knew to stop it from freezing was restarting it
I ignored it until it got fixed by itself
no bars
?
...oh, yet another Linux distro
I have a MikroTik Router providing DHCP to the various networks on my homelan. Each device seems to get a regular host name collision, and so the router appends a number to the end of the existing host name. My computer is currently called βMachine-8272537β. I tried fixing it a few times, setting different timeout/lease time parameters and disabling βprivacy protectionβ on the devices, but nothing fixes it. Been like this 3 years now. I just kinda ignore it.
I have a Tecno spark 8c and it can't download attachments using mobile data from the Gmail app. Works when I'm on wifi. Must be some app like the Download manager having an error or some metered connection thing(I did check for that for apps like Download Manager n Downloads).
Workaround for gmail me was logging on gmail in chrome. K-9 mail also works. So it had workarounds.
Recently it started affecting Tachiyomi downloads too. Can't really ignore it now when I'm not connected to wifi. Did check for it, but didn't find a reason/solution. Been thinking about a factory reset, but not really keen on it as I would have to backup files(important ones do have copies) n app settings.
I have a HDD in my PC that was manufactured in 2008, it still works and SMART is not reporting any errors.
