Hey all, I have an insulated hoodie that I'd like to make water resistant. I know it's not down, but I'm not sure exactly what the insulation is made out of. Nothing particularly fancy I'm sure.

Is a wash-in treatment like TX the way to go? Or is a spray-on treatment a better choice? Should I use a product designed for down even though I know the hoodie isn't down-filled?

Does anyone have any products they'd suggest? I'm not looking for miracles, just some water beading. Thanks!

So Nova has been my go-to for a decade. Even after the sketchy acquisition, there just wasn't another launcher that ticked a few simple boxes for me.

But Nova hasn't been updated since December 2021.

And the April S23U security update suddenly prevents Nova from opening Google Messages. Any other Launcher seems to work fine.

Must-have features for me:

• Swipe up on an icon to launch another app/widget/activity

• Gestures that will let me swipe down on the home screen to pull down the notification bar and swipe up on the home screen to pull up the app drawer

• Custom folders in app drawer and on home screen

These seem incredibly basic, but it's shocking how hard it seems to be to fi

I've had it with the Nine email app.

It was the best app I'd ever purchased, even though it was also the most expensive. But search has been broken most of the past two years and support has crumbled as they launched their new subscription-based email app.

Unique features it had, besides sandboxing ActiveSync:

• Swipe and tap: Swiping in either direction let you tap 3 icons for quick actions, for a total of 6 customizable actions

• One of the swipe actions was a quick "search by sender" option to instantly find similar emails

• Conversation grouping, with "swipe up to reply to the most recent email"

• One of the attachment picker options let you select from all of the recent attachme

Until very recently it would load indefinitely if you kept scrolling. Now suddenly it loads a few times and then stops as if no check-ins existed before yesterday.

No mention of whether they will be pouring all casks simultaneously or staggering them.

Not a recent bug, but getting around to mentioning it after not seeing it addressed elsewhere.

Blocking someone just prevents you from replying to them or viewing their profile. It doesn't actually block their comments or submissions.
