What's this issue with Pushbullet? It's been fine for me except not being able to get the encryption to work.

They charge monthly for notification actions and most people don't use them enough to justify the cost even if they're pretty drat handy. You're also limited to 100 messages/month without paying $5/month($40/year), when something like Join is a flat fee of $5 for both those things.

Oh right. I've obviously never got close to that limit as I didn't know that at all.

Is there a language learning app that isn't bubblegum garbage like duolingo? I'm specifically looking for Dutch right now but I'll take any suggestions

What's wrong with Duolingo? It's been really effective for me, up to an intermediate level anyway. Obviously people have different learning styles but I don't know what 'bubblegum garbage' means

I also just started using Memrise - that app may be more up your alley.

I will be more specific: I would like a language app that actually requires me to learn word lists and conjugations rather than game a multiple choice test for brownie points. I'd like more I have to type in the answer rather than which of these four words most looks like the latin root ok I'll pick that. I am not currently taking a class because they are expensive and I am just interested in gaining a few hundred words for tourism purposes.

I'd like more I have to type in the answer rather than which of these four words most looks like the latin root ok I'll pick that. I used duolingo a few months before going to Nicaragua. The repetition is what helps. It is just a flash card based way of learning vocabulary basically, I didn't learn any real grammar. I'm not sure any of these work well w/o a class, they are mostly all going to be just vocabulary building, not conversational. I still can't speak Spanish, but I can point and say a noun. Someone that I had meet said she enjoyed babble more, but she was a Spanish major (from Germany).

FWIW, language acquisition usually doesn't work through memorizing lists and conjugations, which is why you won't really see that in some programs like Pimsleur. Children don't usually learn language this way after all.

If you're only getting multiple choice questions then something's up. Generally there's
It definitely starts off easy and gets a lot more advanced, with more things like 'what's this a picture of' in the beginning which give way to things like conditionals and subjunctive and various tenses later. You can also drill a certain category when you've completed it, or just 'build your strength' overall which randomly picks material you haven't seen in a while The app is a little lighter than the browser version, yeah - The gamification is basically motivational, you can pretty much ignore all that if you don't care about streaks or lingots, which are basically useless apart from opening bonus categories and taking fluency tests (I think?) You'll never be short of them, put it that way Your experience might depend on the language too, some of the newer ones are community-developed - I'm doing Swedish and the creators did a great job, but I don't know how the Dutch one is. And yeah maybe it's not for everyone, but I learned more Spanish on there in a few months than 3 years of high school, so it's definitely worth trying - especially in a browser, if you can do that sometimes. Something like Memrise would be better for purely memorising vocab, but that's a companion to learning the language baka kaba fucked around with this message at 21:21 on Mar 18, 2016 |

BottleKnight posted:Oh my gosh, switch to pocket casts. You won't have a problem and it will be a lot prettier. Yeah, PocketCasts is much easier on the battery for some reason. One thing I miss though is the ability to start playback when a BlueTooth connection is established. Apparently there is a Tasker recipe for that, but I'm yet to try it.

I have a LG G4. I want to make it so when I'm on work WiFi or home WiFi my data is disabled. I'm not rooted nor do I want to do that. What's the best way of doing it? I tried llama but it states I need root to toggle data.. Hoping that's not the case.

You shouldn't need to disable your data; the phone should use the WiFi for data rather than your cellular service. If it's not doing that, then something's wrong with your phone (blame LG probably).

You're not rooted and you don't want to be, but without root, you can not automate the data toggle or airplane mode. Maybe if you explained why you are trying to do this, someone could figure out a workaround.

Turns out I may have lost connection at work and I was streaming music most of the day. I'd rather just have data off when at home and at work so that doesn't happen again. Tasker won't let me do it either so I guess I can't . Maybe something that alerts my watch or something when I go back to data. That would be helpful too. Also I sometimes forget to turn data off and on through the notification panel so I'd rather automate it

I think you can do this with an nfc tag, but you'll need to touch the tag to do it so I'm not sure if that's any better than just toggling the data off on your own.

Thanks for the help guys. I guess it's me just remembering to turn it off. Kind of frustrating that I can't task it to turn off data. Maybe I should look into rooting it? Wonder how hard it is for a G4.

Do you stream music away from home or work? If not, maybe your music app has a a setting to only stream over wifi. Google Play Music does.

Speaking of streaming and music, what exactly does GPM download when you tell it to download a radio station? Does it just download the first few tracks of the 'playlist' it makes, does it refresh what it downloads now and then, etc.
