I found a bug: "Include" filters -- filtering on tasks that contain a piece of text -- behave differently on Android & web than they do on Windows desktop, if you're filtering on multiple keywords.

On Android and web, filtering on Plan Vacation effectively searches for Plan OR Vacation, including all tasks that mention either word.

On Windows desktop, however, the logic is Plan AND Vacation, including only tasks that mention *both* words, though not necessarily in that order.

TickTick doesn't understand quotes or OR/AND keywords. For example, filtering on "Plan Vacation" (wrapped in quotes) simply requires a quote to appear in the task, it doesn't change the logic.

I recently migrated to a new phone. I copied all my files, including a directory of mp3s which is a virtual podcast. I created a PR backup on my old phone, restored the backup on my new phone.

The problem: the virtual podcast could not play any episodes because Podcast Republic did not have the necessary filesystem permissions. The virtual podcast existed from the restore. The filesystem was correct, all the mp3s were in the correct directory. But Podcast Republic did not request the necessary filesystem permissions at the time that it restored the backup, so clicking "Play" on an episode failed with an error message.

The workaround is the begin creating a new virtual podcast -- prompt

I own a Pixel 6a affected by the recently announced battery issue. I have a couple questions:

  1. For anyone who has opted to receive a replacement battery, how long must you wait without your phone while the repair is performed? Is the phone shipped away, or can a local shop perform the repair?

  2. After the OTA software update, for a battery with over 400 charge cycles, how much will the battery's capacity be reduced? As a percentage of pre-update capacity, or described using some other metric?

I fear that nobody has the answers to these questions, but perhaps some have experience from the Pixel 4a issues, have talked to a customer support person, or have insider information.

Late 30s, new rollerblader, frequently skidding out and sliding on my hips while I learn new stopping skills. Think a failed "hockey stop" but on asphalt.

My problem is road rash, or rather, fabric rash. The asphalt is not actually touching the hips. Rather, the pants / underwear are being dragged across the hip by the road, so it's the fabric that's scraping my skin up. Then I've gotta clean it, bandage with Tegaderm, wait weeks for it to heal.

In summary: not a bruise, not a bone issue, yes bleeding skin on hip, no direct contact between asphalt and skin, no ripped pants.

Should I get hip pads to prevent this? I'm worried that they'll have the same issue as my

TickTick has three different ways to create checkable sub-items within a task. I was pretty confused by this: I initially thought there were only two, and I was confused which to choose depending on the situation.

I've experimented and created this feature matrix. Hopefully it's helpful to others.

Anything I got wrong? Anything I should add?

This post is to ask if anyone else has directly modified their Kobo SQLite DB to enable multiple OverDrive libraries, or if there are any other communities of Kobo hackers who might be interested in talking about this.

After reading various posts her on r/kobo, I learned about the existence of calibre-web and Nickel, learned you can manually modify your Kobo config file to enable things. So I was curious and opened my Kobo's files.

`KoboReader.sqlite` has many tables, these 3 jumped out to me: `OverDriveLibrary`, `OverDriveCards`, and `OverDriveCheckoutBook`. The first two tables contain a single row each for my currently logged in library. But I wonder, can we manually add a sec

I often want to "search" a specific list or set of lists. How do I do that? Is it limited to the Cloud Search? How do I jump straight to Cloud Search in the UI?

It seems like the Cloud Search button is hidden until I attempt a non-cloud-search query. But this initial query is annoying because I don't want to do it, I just want to go straight to Cloud Search because it's the only UI that lets me filter my search by List.

On mobile, I have to enter a search, then tap "view more" to reveal the filters UI.

Basically, I want to tap search and be able to set filters right away.

Alternatives

I want to tag a number of tasks from various lists, view them in a single view, and drag-and-drop them into the order I want to accomplish them today. I can't do this in label views, but this post from 2 years ago says I should be able to: [Custom Sort in Filtered View like Microsoft To Do : r/todoist (reddit.com)](https://www.reddit.com/r/todoist/comments/vvpgpk/custom_sort_in_filtered_view_like_microsoft_to_do/)

It looks like "Manual" sorting option is only available for "Today," not for labels nor custom filters.

Was this feature removed? Or is there a way for me to do this?

In short: label several tasks, click the label in the sidebar to see all tasks with that label, and manually d

I love Microsoft ToDo's "My Day" feature, which is subtly different than TickTick's "Today" and due dates. I'm considering a switch to TickTick, and trying to mimic "My Day" with a #MyDay tag. I want to explain why I think "My Day" is so great, how tags can emulate it today, and how TickTick could support it even better in the future.

I tag the things I want to accomplish today with #MyDay, then I have a single focused view of those tasks. Microsoft ToDo automatically resets this list every night, but in TickTick I do it manually by removing the tag from any or all tasks. This makes #MyDay non-judgemental as compared to "Today", because anything I didn't complete will not appear as "Overd

As an example, this is failing:

Install-Module posh-git -Scope CurrentUser -Force

The page can be viewed: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/posh-git/0.7.3

But clicking "download the raw nupkg" fails.

I can't find a status page for powershellgallery. Is it down?

EDIT: You can try downloading nupkg files from powershell gallery by going to these 2x pages, clicking "manual download" and then clicking "download the raw nupkg file." This will happen in your web browser without powershell.

r/XboxGamePassPC•

I have GamePass Ultimate and do not own an XBox console. How do I link my EA account with my Microsoft account so that I can install EA Play games?

Things I have tried so far:

  • install latest version of the XBox app on Windows 10
  • Install EA Desktop Beta; launch it; login with EA account
  • Check the "Perks" page within XBox app on Windows 10

According to the FAQ here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/subscriptions-billing/manage-subscriptions/ea-play-with-xbox-game-pass-FAQ

Will I need an EA account and EA’s PC Desktop app (Beta) to play EA Play games on Windows 10?

I'm trying to throw together a plan review UI. I'd like to have a meaningful example of a plan file, both for (informal) testing and to share as a demo of the UI on Github. I obviously can't use any of the plans from my team's infrastructure; that's all private.

Does anyone know a source of meaningful, sample plans? They can be in the raw or JSON format; doesn't matter.
