I have not seen that, but I have seen that using gesture navigation, sometimes when I swipe up and hold to see the menu of open apps, there’s a Nova launcher app with just a transparent gray screen. selecting it just goes home, and closing it does nothing.
Fascinating, thank you.
I’ve never heard him speak. What an odd quavering voice he has!
It does tend to STICK in the memory!
Looks a bit like P.O. box 963 New York City, New York state, 10108!
Can’t see what, the fire damage?
I’m still perfectly happy with my p6pro, except I wish it had the rear fingerprint scanner of my p2. As long as this gets software updates I’ll keep using it.
That looks great!
That makes sense. Good tip.
There’s a known (assumed intentional) issue with Android where a gesture to go home will show the home screen, but nothing responds to touch for a half second. I’ve been using Nova for years and I experience it daily. I feel like the delay has gotten better, though.
Very true. It’s upsetting on Netflix or prime to search for a movie and it autocompletes but then they just show you “I know you really want to see X, but how about Y instead”?
That’s true, but I believe in this case it’s a double meaning referencing a twitch streamer playing that game Pog, and the acronym “Play Of [the] Game”.
In finance, out-of-pocket is synonymous with cash on hand, liquid assets. Means you can pay now without needing to incur a debt.
In business, out-of-pocket is usually synonymous with out-of-office, like AFK Away-From-Keyboard. Often shorter term than being fully on vacation. “I’ll be OOP after 2pm for a doctor’s appt.”
I have recently heard out-of-pocket used among youngsters or the terminally-online to mean rude or crazy, like you said. “Beyond the standards of normalcy”.
See I would totally be down to just hang and watch a movie with a friend, then GTFO.
Clarke, Niven, and Heinlein for me. The original _Rendezvous with Rama _inspires awe in me every time. Stranger in a Strange Land is beautiful. The Known Space (Ring world) books are among my favorites. I’m also very fond of Ian Bank’s The Culture , though they are from this millennium and maybe out of scope for this conversation!
I have and love Burroughs’ John Carter of Mars, Zelazny’s Amber, and Castle Perilous by John De Chancie. I’ve just started collecting E. E. “Doc” Smith. I’m slowly adding to my Ursula Leguin and Lester Del Ray shelves.
And I really can’t resist buying old yellow books with ridiculous titles like “_Mutiny in Space” , “assault on the gods” , or “The shattered stars”. _ Bonus Points for awesome spaceships on the cover. I’ll buy those any day without any idea of the author or story.
I think you and I would be good friends. Other than buying books by the Grandmasters, I pick based on the ridiculous cover art. Woman in a space-bikini with an atomic raygun threatened by a lizard/wookie hybrid with a jetpack? Yes please!
That’s a fantastic name for a podcast (or most anything else).
Was that one of their excellent April Fool’s Day items? I looked forward to seeing the joke items they put out every year.
