Ublock will completely block links to most clickbait and malicious websites like buzzfeed. It can also interfere with links to tracking heavy websites like Facebook depending on which lists you have enabled.

I solved the disparency issue by putting a black wallpaper for lock screen. Hopefully Oneplus fixes the issue some day.

Tapet is pretty drat great, I might even fork up the $5 for premium if the bonus patterns look good. Not sure if it was recommended here but, thank you to whoever put me into this app.

Anyone use OneDrive to sync photos? I find it agonizingly slow to browse folders with photos. I have mine split into individual folders, most with under two dozen files each (some with maybe 150 if I was taking burst shots of my nieces playing). When I pull up a folder, it seems to take forever to load all the thumbnails. When I tap on a file, it seems to take forever for the image to load. I mean, 30+ seconds before I get frustrated and leave the app. This is either on WiFi or mobile data. It's been like that pretty much ever since I started using OneDrive, so across 2-3 phones. I like OneDrive cause it works great with my desktops and I started using it when it was still the cheapest service available. It just blows on the phone.

Why wouldn't you just use Google Photos? Is it due to wanting to manually organize everything or fear of the Google panopticon?

LastInLine posted:Why wouldn't you just use Google Photos? Is it due to wanting to manually organize everything or fear of the Google panopticon? Because I started using this before I even had a smartphone and it worked with the Xbox 360 at the time. I already have a system that works for me. I rarely need to pull up old photos on my phone, but I sometimes want to and it gets annoying. I try to keep SOME separation from Google. I mostly use a combination of OneDrive and Dropbox to avoid Photos and Drive and it works for me except for the one instance of it refreshing images slowly. Was just wondering if it's me, if I have too many files on the drive, or what. Edit: I guess I should have said that I use this for photos from my camera or that I get sent from family which I sync across computers with OneDrive. Photos on my phone I just have on my phone and automatically back up with Dropbox and that's not an issue. Uthor fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Nov 15, 2016 |

I'm looking for a recipe app and I'm kind of particular. I haven't liked any that I have tried so far. -clean interface, easy to read, navigate, and enter recipes. Most fail here. -import from a wide variety of websites -sync with browser -no forced social features, at the very least be ignorable. I'm willing to spend money, but only if I know it meets my needs first. I might just end up using Evernote or something because all the recipe apps seem bad.

LastInLine posted:Why wouldn't you just use Google Photos? Is it due to wanting to manually organize everything or fear of the Google panopticon? I don't know about you, but my ancient family photo albums are vague, unorganised, and at best have a stack of photos + negatives inside wallets with labels like '[spincube] is 12', or 'April 1992': which doesn't play nicely with a system that instead insists on sorting by metadata. I know there's ways around this by fiddling with date/time tags, but for thousands of photos that's out of the question; it also ignores that sometimes, with physical family photos, the point is to pick an album at random and enjoy the act of flipping through memories of a specific time and place. Again, yeah, there's ways of emulating photo albums like that, but it's another headache and the 'timeline' thing doesn't play nice with the filing system we've already been using forever for physical photos. It also helps that OneDrive sharing is as simple as it comes: it's not as fancy as Google Photos, but for sharing backups of our irreplaceable memories it's as simple as it comes, with a structure that's already familiar.

Google released a new app for "scanning" old photos into Google Photos and it works great, I've tested it on a few already http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/11/15/google-announces-photoscan-app-digitize-old-photos-improved-editing-tools-google-photos/ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.photos.scanner

Thermopyle posted:But, disorganized folders and whatnot are the very thing Google Photos is the best at? Maybe I'm not being clear: outside of family holidays, birthdays, Christmases and so forth, random moments taken on film camera and scanned - kids playing in the yard, etc. - don't have obvious date & time metadata that Google Photos needs to sort and display images. I mean I could take the 'April 1992' wallet and say well, OK, these were taken on the 1st of April 1992, picture 1 was taken at 00:00, picture 2 at 00:01, picture 3 at 00:02, and so on. It'd be a headache to take a guess and assign a date taken for every single photograph of the hundreds I have scanned, when I can keep them as img_001, img_002, img_003 etc. inside the 'April 1992' folder stored on OneDrive (or any other cloud storage, really) - mimicking the photos kept inside the physical 'April 1992' wallet. If there were a way of using vague metadata tags like 'Easter 1995' for photos, rather than having to think up potentially incorrect but exact metadata just to satisfy Google Photo's 'timeline' organisation, I wouldn't mind.

I think the problem is that you're trying to fit the wrong paradigm into Google Photos. With Google Photos instead of organizing stuff into folders and by date, you just do a search for "christmas with Sally" or whatever and it shows you those photos through the magic of TensorFlow (aka. machine learning). Whether you want to live in that paradigm is a different story, but it's quite good at the paradigm I described. An hour ago I scanned an old photo with the new photo scanning app from Google that was originally photographed in Disney World. Literally, the only disney-ish thing in the photo is a person dressed in a Belle (from beauty and the beast) dress. I searched "<insert_daughters_name> in disney world", and the photo I scanned popped up. I had associated no metadata with it at all.

I've been running old photos through a high speed document scanner at work but it's not made for that kind of thing so the digital photos are washed out and dark. This might end up being a better option. edit: also, since Google won't get their poo poo together and add QR scanning to the Camera, what's the next best option? Tell me it's not still Goggles.

You can tell it hits the CPU pretty good doing the computations and it'd probably be faster with a phone faster than my 6P.
