When I was younger I used to read physical manga and comics, but now I read digital versions on my computer for convenience and to save space. I haven't used e-readers or other devices with e-ink screens before so I was curious about getting one for this purpose, but I am wondering if they offer enough benefits to offset the downside of a smaller screen. Also what about e-ink tablets?
I want to get notifications on my phone when someone comments on my post or replies to me. Do I need to download the official app to do this and where to I find the settings if so?
I used to have the mic icon in the 2x1 size version of the google search widget that lets you go to voice search but now when I shrink the bar I only get the camera icon that opens google lens. Any way to get it back?
I'm looking for a way to have my computer stop playing youtube videos automatically when I leave the room and then resume them when I get back. What options to do I have to do this?
I have two use cases I was wondering if this smart plug would work for. One is regular lamp with an LED bulb and the other is a One Beat OB3LDC2 Table Lamp with dimmable, non-replaceable LEDs already integrated into it. Would the Tapo P135 work to be able to dim both of these via a smart hub/smartphone or is it only compatible with incandescent bulbs?
I have some Artika fandeliers I want to be able to control via smart home hub, smart phone, schedule routines, and activate the light when motion sensor is triggered. Is this possible and if so what would the best way to do this? They already have fan speed, light temperature, and a timer controlled via included remote controls.
I highy prefer this way of navigating tabs rather than it taking me to a new window with all of the tabs and having to select one of them. Is there a way to do this?
Also why is there no swipe down to refresh the page in Firefox Focus?
I've been starting to use other voice assistants like Google Assistant and Bixby to do tasks like reading notifications, control media, set timers, open apps, change settings, schedules events, and control smart home devices such as lights. How extensive is the voice assistant on the Bip 6 and other watches compared to those on android devices?
I'm looking for a way to have lamps on my desk and nightstand that are dimmable, schedulable, and controllable via my smartphone and was wondering what the best option would be and looking for any particular recommendations. I currently don't have any smart hubs but am also open to getting one.
Edit: Would connecting a dimmable fixed LED lamp to a smart plug with a dimmer also work and would it also matter if the lamp itself has outlets and USB ports?
I'm trying to have Google assistant read my notifications and texts aloud, but it says it doesn't have permission to do these and I can't find the settings give it. Is anyone able to help please?
I got an A9+ from Costco and like the included cover, but I'm considering returning it so I can get just the tablet for cheaper elsewhere. Are there any similar covers available or a way to get the same cover?
Looking to get my first smart watch and was debating between a Galaxy 7 for $70 or a Bip 6 for $80. Is there a big difference in comfort or sleep tracking? Or maybe something else?
Galaxy 7 Pros:
Bip 6 Pros:
I see that most smart plugs are Wifi compatible but some have Bluetooth. Are there any extra benefits or use cases that having Bluetooth on these would allow? Could they be used as Bluetooth beacons?
Not a current Metro customer so I was wondering if the Galaxy 7 watch for $30 plus $10 line and A9+ tablet for $20 offers are still active and the devices are still in stock. If so can I go into a store, sign up for a $25 BYOD plan and then pick them up the same day or do I have to do it online and wait for shipping?
Also what is the price they charge tax on for these, shipping time like, and is there a limit to how many devices I can get?
I never used a lock before and had it so my phone would go directly to the home screen or turn off the screen on double tap, but after playing around with the lockscreen options it doesn't work anymore. Now the lockscreen comes up and the screen doesn't turn off when double tapping an empty area. Any way to fix this?
I'm new to Samsung phones and find it very annoying to have to swipe to go to the pin/pattern entry screen instead of it being already there. Also you still have to swipe up to go to the home screen even if the phone is already unlocked with routines or extended lock. Do other phones require this or is this just a Samsung thing?
I'm looking at buying my first smart watches and was looking at different options. I want one mainly for text and call notifications, media controls, find my device, remote lock if my phone gets stolen, emergency calls, and sleep tracking. The Amazfit bip 6 seems to be good for a fraction of the price of Galaxy watches and has a longer battery life so I was wondering if there are any software integrations I'd be missing out between Galaxy devices.
I'd rather not have to view the lock screen and then swipe before entering my pin to unlock my phone. Is this possible? I know you can directly unlock it with thumb print so why not with pin or how about putting the pin entry directly on the lock screen?
