Where can I find the highest quality episodes of Mr.Bean?
  • I watched a YouTube video several years ago that discussed how Mr. Bean live streams and compilations have flooded YouTube despite the original series not being that long. I can't find the video because the search results are indeed flooded with these

    ‘Time is now’ to step up efforts for Ukraine peace, says Germany’s Scholz
  • I listened to an interview recently, I believe on BBC, where the interviewee said the biggest issue with peace talks is that the international community isn't able to trust Putin to keep his word on whatever is agreed upon. I hadn't considered that, but it makes a lot of sense and I'm not sure how that could change

    Proton Drive warning: don't reinstall
  • Yes, that's correct

  • A few months ago I installed Proton Drive on my new PC. It started having issues so I sent it back in for repair. I uninstalled Proton Drive then deleted my files for privacy.

    Last week I installed Proton Drive again. To my surprise, it scrambled all of my files locally and remote. All my root folders were deleted and my root is now filled with "Delete conflict" files and folders.

    I reported this to Proton immediately. After giving them my logs and details support told me...

    • This is expected: "Proton Drive is designed to synchronize ALL changes, even after long periods of not syncing"
    • No rollback is possible: "Please note that we are unable to revert this behavior. You will have to restore the files manually"
    • They plan to address this: "Regardless, we will absolutely be making improvements to avoid such problems in the future."

    For me I have about 100 files to address, which is manageable, but for others I'm sure this would be a showstopper. The delete conflicts don't have version history either, so I have to figure out how to weave everything back together.

    Nikki Haley voters PAC announces support for Kamala Harris
  • That's a fair stance. But practically I don't know what "Trumpism" will look like if he continues to not be in office. From my perspective it's been a bit frozen in time since losing in 2020. Until the campaign ratcheted up, I didn't know what he was saying or his position on current political affairs. So time and relevancy seems to be working against him, at least his direct influence. And if he dies I think there will be a lot of in-fighting when it comes to "What Would Trump Do" and will probably morph into something new altogether

    When interviewing try to show genuine interest in the job and research to ask good questions. Care about it in the moment, then try to emotionally disconnect afterwards

    Nikki Haley voters PAC announces support for Kamala Harris
  • IMO most pro-Haley support was inherently anti-Trump. That's essentially what her campaign boiled down to, and I suspect she sincerely thought he will lose. If so, she'll be well-positioned for another run, assuming two Trump losses will be seen as a death nail to his support (which might not occur, who knows, he could very well run again in delusion)

    JPMorgan Chase warns 86 million customers they might have to start paying for their bank accounts
  • The way you're presenting this seems pretty fishy. There's no way to guarantee an 18% return without an equal dose of risk. Interest on savings accounts are guaranteed, up until they change the rate. So that's apples to oranges.

  • Hi, I'm wanting to set up app locking on my Pixel 4a with only a physical device to unlock them. Preferably something keychain-able.

    Here are some options I've looked into and considering:

    • Bluetooth device with...
      • separate Android profile + Smart Lock
      • AppLock - Fingerprint app
        • this is the only app of this type I found that supports Bluetooth
    • NFC tag with...
      • some app locker app, though I haven't been able to find one that supports NFC
      • Tasker (related how-to)

    Here are some options I've looked into and not considering:

    • USB-C security key
      • would prefer a wireless option to not wear out the phone's port
    • Unpluq
      • I don't like subscriptions
    • Smart Lock doesn't support NFC anymore (request to bring it back)

    Notes:

    • I actually have an old Google Bluetooth Titan Security Key, but it doesn't seem to work with Smart Lock. It doesn't let me add it as a trusted device despite being successfully paired. I think it might operate on Bluetooth Low Energy.
    • Seems like NFC might be better than Bluetooth for my purposes since I wouldn't have to worry about battery life.
    • I don't know what Bluetooth device might work best for this purpose. I believe products like Tile also work on Bluetooth Low Energy.
    • Any recommendations on NFC tags? Seems like Etsy might be good to get something somewhat customizable and better looking than the blank chips I've seen listed online.

    Happy to hear anything you have to share on this topic!
