I have a weird issue where my USB headset doesn't show up in my list of devices whenever I turn my computer on (including waking from sleep) and I have to unplug and replug it. It's a small thing, but it's a little maddening when you think about how you wouldn't have to deal with it if you had just booted into Windows.
I need to try changing ports. I was considering trying it, but I was being stubborn. That fixing your problem gives me hope.
Heh. If you're so smart, why did you make a typo? I'm not going to listen to an idiot who doesn't know the difference between and .
You've got to be on constant alert or your phone's autocorrect changing lets to let's at the wrong time will derail the entire conversation.

The spec saying border routers must have an option to allow internet access is a weird thing to call Enshittification.
One, it has nothing to do with the actual concept of Enshittification. This isn't an online service that lured you in with cool free features and has slowly degraded the experience to increase profitability. It's a spec for a type of product that is adding more standardized features.
Two, it makes things easier for the consumer so you don't have to do a ton amount research about which features the different Thread 1.4 certified routers you are looking at have.
And three, if you were using the lack of an internet option as a feature for picking a router, you can do the exact same amount of research on border routers to see if the internet access toggle works.
You could also just not give the border router internet access.
There is a Mac app called Rewind that came out a couple of years ago that does the same thing. There was also an open source thing for Windows. Everyone is desperate to show that they are hip and can do AI. It looks like someone at Microsoft saw a demo of one of those apps and thought that putting it into Windows would let them brag about how much AI Windows can do. They clearly tried to rush it out in time for their Copilot PC marketing push.
The idea is that you can use local LLM models and image scanning to talk to your computer. You could ask it to summarize your day, ask what you were working on last week, or find those articles you vaguely remember reading last year and can't find anymore. I can almost see the merit, but the security risk is so high.
I wonder if people will eventually stop caring about the security risk of features like this. Those AI girlfriends some people dream about will have access to so much private information. Give this thing a voice and you can market it as a companion who learns the things you like and can talk with you about the things you are reading. Hackers might be able to see literally everything you've done on the computer for the last few years, but you'll get to feel like Iron Man with your own personal Jarvis.
It can still be turned on or off, they are just saying it wasn't supposed to be on that particular screen.
My guess is that it was there as a temporary way to turn it on and off during development before they had a page in settings.
It says it in the reason portion.
reason: Community ban from site admin. Consider curating your feed instead of downvoting all of the content within a community
I was specific about my wording. I didn't say an admin did the ban. I said the ban mentions that a site admin was responsible.
The mod was either also an admin or asked an admin. You can even see it in the ban reasons from OP. The most recent ban mentions that a site admin is responsible for the ban.
It's American Exceptionalism at work. Unlike the rest of the world, we have no healthcare, we use Fahrenheit, and we put on our pants one leg at a time.
You most likely wouldn't be shipping an entire web browser with the app. You would use the Webview component (or similar) which just uses the Android System WebView system app that should already be on the phone.
By the comments I've seen, it seems like no one read their previous announcement where they said they were delaying the feature while they continued work on it. We already knew they were still going to ship it.
Just having it disabled by default is a massive improvement. It's crazy that they initially considered releasing it with no encryption and it on by default.
