If you can afford it, I personally highly recommend just buying two USB-C hardware Yubikeys and storing it on there. Built in back up and if you put it on your keyring, it’s always nearby. You can still use your phone to access the code as well.

Not exactly super helpful for solving this problem but since you’re already going to have to reset or get new accounts, it’s a good time to switch over if you’re interested.

I can’t speak for Canada but at least here in the US, I’ve used every Pixel on any carrier I wanted. And most of them were small ones. Straight Talk, Ting, T-Mobile, and one more I can’t even remember the name of.

IIRC, the “allowlist” stuff was just “known carriers that use towers that are compatible with this phone.” As in, different carriers use different “bands”, or frequency ranges, for their transmissions. Your phone has to have hardware support for those bands. So the “allowlist” is really just “we know these work.” I’m pretty sure neither Samsung nor Google will stop you from using an unlocked phone bought from them with any carrier that’ll accept it. These days, I just stick a SIM (or eSIM) into my phone and just go.

Hmmm…I smell a massacre. Seems to be the only way to back these bastards up.

I had to read the title three times before it clicked that it said 64 TERABYTES and not gigabytes.

Holy smokes.

It’s terrifying that the only way to win these days is to just never have been born. Even if you don’t play, someone you interact with online is and you get taken in that way.

All to sell you ads for things you don’t need or care about.

I’ve never dealt with this using a hypersonic speaker but I’m very familiar with attempting to record lyrics while hearing my own voice on a delay and it’s impossible. Thinking about just trying to read text while hearing myself on a delay sounds similarly difficult.

My guess is that some of us, musicians especially, are more reliant on internal timing in all things.

I enjoyed the first season. Can’t wait for this one to come out!

What’s probably happening here is your adapter is signaling some button press when you connect it that’s popping up the Assistant. Only way to fix that is to get a new adapter since you can’t manually disable that input from triggering the Assistant without root.

However, you can completely disable the Google Assistant from appearing at all via:

Settings > Apps > Default Apps > Digital Assistant App > Default Digital Assistant App > None

That should fully disable it in all regards and it’ll never pop up again.

This show just does not want to air, huh? This is its, what, second delay in 5 episodes?

why is this so funny?

Probably exactly what the cat was saying!
