How do you say "[you have the] wrong number" in your language? (lemmy.world)
 

I get wrong numbers all the time in other languages. I only speak English fluently. The languages I studied previously were mainly in writing so speaking other languages is quite intimidating for me.

Top languages in my area: Spanish (mainly Mexico and Puerto Rico), Vietnamese, Korean, and Russian. I've also encountered Igbo, Yoruba, Arabic, and Haitian Creole.

Learning how to say something like "I only speak English" would be helpful as well.

I did find this website but I have no way of knowing how accurate it is:

I still don't think I quite understand how this scheme was supposed to work. Can someone ELI5?

What's the most extravagant thing you've bought for your pet, and do you regret it? in c/[email protected]

I don't know that I've gotten them anything that I would describe as extravagent. Expensive? Definitely.

I spend about 30% of my income on their monthly supplies (mainly food and medications). Probably not the smartest decision financially but I have zero regrets. I love my babies and would spend the whole world's wealth on them. Which is probably why I am not wealthy 🫣🤑🥸

Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather? in c/[email protected]

I once experienced a storm where, for a very brief time, my front yard was experiencing a torrential downpour and my back yard was dry as a bone.

My house was not that big - maybe 1700-1800sq ft - and our lot size was less than a quarter acre. Blew my mind. (Obviously storms have edges. It was still weird.)

I was only able to get mine because of a grant i found, which paid 100% of the cost (over $3k).

Wait. They redefined it in 2019 but I thought that "new" way was what I did in school 🤔

How to prevent bluetooth autoconnect in a 2019 Nissan Rogue? (lemmy.world)
 

Hello,

I noticed that everytime I go to a mechanic or someone new gets in my car, the bluetooth autoconnects to their phone. How can I restrict access?

I tried to look it up but could only find how to turn bluetooth off completely.

Along the same lines, does anyone happen to know how to restrict my phone from auto connecting to various cars? I thought they had to ask.

My car is a 2019 Nissan Rogue and my phone is a Pixel 8 with Android 14.

What really sucks is my local politicians are very outwardly partisan, even though the positions are supposed to be nonpartisan. The surprising thing is that there are more liberalish residents than I expected. Unfortunately it's just not enough to change what we get.

Degoogling - can someone ELI5 how certain apps work on Graphene OS? (lemmy.world)
 

Hi,

I am (very, very early) in the process of degoogling. I am definitely not a high risk as far as needing to be completely locked down. It's more about trying to have a little more control over how my data is used.

I am looking at Graphene OS, but I am a little confused how certain apps (that rely on Google services) work. I have a Pixel 8 and will have it for the foreseeable future.

The apps I currently use that I would still need (or their equivalents) are:

  • Clash Royale (Supercell)
  • Notion (Notion Labs)
  • Clickup (Mango Technologies)
  • Business Calendar 2 (Appgenix)

  1. If I installed these exact apps "sandboxed", what exactly does that mean from a user standpoint? Will I have to use a separate account, reboot my phone, etc, or is it a quick process to use the app?

  2. Is there a list of apps that I could browse to find equivalents to the above? Recommendations here are also ok.

  3. I saw that Firefox isn't exactly private(?) and that Vanadium is better in that aspect but I don't understand why. Can someone ELI5, and help me see if this is a relevant concern for me?

Thank you! 😁

How do I figure out a fair price for a used bike + accessories? (lemmy.world)
 

I am wanting to sell a used adult bike with some accessories (a camelbak and a helmet). I don't think the bike is worth much but the bicycle blue book doesn't list this brand (genesis from walmart) and other calculators are pricing it at $50+ even in poor condition (not ridden much, tires need to be replaced). I don't think it cost more than $180, if that, when I bought it 4 years ago.

If anyone could point me in a good direction I would be grateful.

I am in the USA.
