Casyl posted:There's a very good chance it'll go on sale during the Steam sale sometime in the next week or so for $15. That said, it's a system that has you manually enter everything (which is part of its philosophy), whereas apps like Mint and Level Money automatically look at your CC/bank statements to see your spending. The Mac version IS tied to Steam however.

The YNAB people are infamous for being hush-hush about future releases, though, so there's not much else to go off of other than "it's something we're considering". Yeah, I've been seeing their job postings for the past year or two and it's all for web stuff and iOS/Android stuff...none of this Adobe Air or other silly desktop focused technologies.

Anyone else having Hangouts crash when you try to use keyboard? I'm on a stock HTC One M8 and I can't reply to any messages without it hanging up, then going back to contacts or just straight crashing. I've rolled it back so I can actually use it, but this is pretty infuriating.

On iOS the app is called signal. Tinfoil hat disclosure, if the NSA or a state government wants to get access to your messages they still probably can, though they would probably need to specifically target you and exploit your phone rather than just intercept the message going across the internet. It does not provide anonymity either, anyone monitoring you would be able to know who you were sending encrypted messages to and from.

Yeah I know that if they want to know what I'm talking about they'll find a way, they are, after all, spooks, but I figured the least I can do is add a couple of steps to the process and avoid being swept up in the mass data trawling. Hi GCHQ!

Them not caring isn't entirely the point though, they feel they have the right to sweep up everyone's communications, so while I realise I can't easily opt-out of being hoovered up along with everyone else, I can make my stuff less easily readable.

There's plenty more uses for having end to end encryption than trying to avoid the NSA. How many naked pictures do companies like Comcast, Verizon, Facebook or Google have access to at this point? End to end encryption ends the requirement of having to trust third party companies with my private messages which is a lot more practically useful. I don't really care about the NSA for the most part. I do dislike the concept of bulk data collection though.

If it's the second, try AllCast

Yeah the first option, basically treat the tablet like an external hd. The second option is actually kind of cool and I haven't considered it.

LastInLine posted:The way you'd think, copy them out of your local Drive folder and into the uploader. Once they're uploaded and in the "Google Photos" folder of your Drive you can delete the originals. If you don't have Drive space to do that, move them out of your Drive to a local folder first, then upload them. Sounds easy enough - but what do you mean by the 'uploader'?

I use a combination of Nova Launcher, UCCW, Calendar UCCW Skin, and a clear icon to make it work. Using Nova, I change Google Calendar's icon to a clear icon, then I allow overlapping widgets, and place the Calendar UCCW Skin widget over it. It shows the date, and tapping it opens Google Calendar.

You can just set a hotspot in UCCW that opens the calendar app. E: also if you want an icon with a material design look, you can install the moonshine icon pack and just change the calendar icon to the one from that (assuming you use a launcher that supports it, like nova) dik-dik fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Jun 12, 2015 |

I used to use Nova and Today (basically Google Calendar anyway) and the correct date on the icon was baked in but somewhere along the line I decided I had to stop micromanaging every single tiny little detail about my phone, custom app icons included, so I use the Google Launcher now. That one little touch really goes a long way though.

It reminds me too much of iOS 7's flat icons, which are ugly. I know Material isn't flat, but there's just something off about it for me.  Still, it's a nice option for those who do like it.

The desktop uploader works by having you add one or more folders and then grabbing everything that they contain, So if you want to select specific photos from a folder with lots in it then do it through the website. If you already have them separated then use the desktop uploader.

Is there a way to have Photos not backup videos, but only pictures? I'd be fine with the default storage allocation if I could just exclude video files.
