I need the wind chill forecast for work and link to various NWS pages because I can't get an app to give me that in a nice graph the way they do with their hourly weather forecast. Dark Sky is nice and Weather Underground has a nice enough widget & seems to have solved their "crash when requesting location" bug.

Question about Android Auto: We're shopping for a new car soon and want to test how AA works in the cars we're considering. What steps do I need to take before and during a test drive to make AA work with my phone? Is it as simple as having the app on my phone and plugging into the correct USB port? Or is there some initial setup/pairing for the first time a particular phone connects? Any known hiccups to expect to minimize the fumbling with a salesperson in the car? Also, I assume the implementation of AA is the same across the board. Is that true, or is there anything I should know or look out for between different makes or models?

Run the app on your phone prior to connecting it for basic setup. After that, it's all automatic on connection. It does auto pair Bluetooth, so you may want to delete your phone from the head unit after you are done with the drive. It should be pretty much the same across the board aside from screen size and quality.

The one thing I'd add is that holy god implementations where you have to touch the screen with your finger are sooooo loving terrible. Mazdas use a dial/joystick thing on the console to choose and select things so that was all I'd ever experienced until I was training my dad on how to use it on his Impala. Pawing at the screen like an animal was excruciating in every way. Scrolling was a nightmare and just determining whether the right thing got selected was difficult and this was while parked. I would never, never, ever, ever use a system that didn't use a BMW iDrive-like solution. The alternative is ghastly.

I'm on mobile but Google Android auto developer mode and you can force dark mode which is what I did if that is appealing to you.

Hey, on pocket cast, what causes the current playing file to repeat midway when next file on playlist is suppose to be play. This happens when you add a cast to playlist, and current file playing shows a picture of the cast you just queue, instead of what is playing. When it ends, tbe file next is marked played, and you hear the casy again midway through. I dont know why this happens sometimes when adding to llaylkst and not others?

Right below the title is the All Day selector, the time range, the time zone, and the repeat option. Below that is Add People. Below that is event location, add notification, add conferencing, default color (only affects color, not calendar), description, attachment, public/private, busy.

I think that means you didn't create it/don't have high enough permissions to unilaterally change it? Try copying it to the calendar you want it on?

I definitely created the event, in my own personal calendar, so I don't know what's going on. I'd already moved it to the correct calendar on desktop before I'd even asked the question. Maybe it's just a bug that'll work itself out over time.

According to Android Police, you might have to force quit the app and clear the cache to get it to work.

Is it possible to tell what's been backed-up from my phone to Google Photos? I recorded a few videos & took a shitload of photos at a concert last Sunday, and the circle thing around the 'backing up' arrow has been like that ever since. I've half a mind to just give up on the whole thing, pull the contents of DCIM onto my PC and upload from there, but of course I've no idea what's done yet and what's not done, so I'll end up with duplicates. I swear there used to be a crossed-through cloud icon somewhere? I think?? I don't know if it's just the phone wifi being lovely, or Photos being lovely, or some computer molestor at Google deciding to make the backup process a black box, or all three, but after my antics with it chewing up a slow-mo video at a wedding earlier this year I've about had enough of Photos' poo poo. The gently caress is the point of them braying about camera numbers when it chokes on actually storing and managing the results?
