I had no idea ITTT could send text messages. That's awesome!

I'd just set a different sound/alert for certain e-mail addresses but I don't sync my email accounts automatically on my phone.

The only other slight issue is that I do not get text messages from T-Mobile that are for resetting my T-Mobile password. It's very strange. I will get texts from them telling me to download their T-Mobile Tuesdays app or whatever, but the ones for resetting my password never get through to me, and I feel like it's somehow related to my email to text issue (as in, if I solved one I'd solve the other).

And here's the weirdest thing of all. I just sent myself an email to my phone with a subject as well as text in the body, but this time I added an attachment. I can see both the subject and the text from the body as well as the attachment. It's when no photo is attached that I have an issue :psyduck:

trip report: Oreo seems fine. they changed how a bunch of stuff looks and how settings are organized because google. I do like how they put a little more color into the UI

my lock screen now does all sorts of hosed up poo poo but I think that is motorola's fault and not goog's

my nexus 5x is on oreo and the lock screen seems ok. i still don't like how the "swipe up and inward from the bottom corners" gesture feels, the one you use to launch the camera or assistant from the lock screen

the one oreo feature i actually cared about, the inter-app form filler api, doesn't work in firefox (yet?). i have a password keeper that supports the api, but without browser support it's not very useful. my one bank app does support it though, so hey, figgies checking is 3 seconds quicker :heysexy:

you should use chrome, firefox is poo poo on the desktop and laughable piss trash garbage on a phone. if you want ad blocking use adguard or dns66 or argo or whatever

all the water I had expelled itself from my hot water tank into my basement two weeks after we had the basement finished, hence the flood alarms I just put in lol

actually it was pretty cool; it was a defect in the automatic shutoff valve that turns off if it detects the pilot light went out. Even though it was five years out of warranty, I called the company and told them it was a known defect in that model and I wanted my ruined carpet replaced. not only did they replace my carpet, they paid me for the amount of time it took me to clean it all up and replace it even though I did it myself :cool:

they also paid for the parts and labor of having the water tank fixed

they were even gonna give me money for the wet/dry vac but i was too honest and i told them i already had one previous to the flooding

some middle manager did the math and realized "leaking" their poo poo to a pr firm would be smaller than the bonus or raise they'd get once someone higher up decided to fund the project better

or if they leave they can now point to something they've done at the next firm
