"Default caller ID and spam app" set to none?

On Android 14 (Pixel 9), looking around the "settings/Default apps" and I see ""Default caller ID and spam app" is set to "none" instead of the "phone" app. Did anyone set it to "phone"? It seems it should be that way, so I wonder why it's not already?

Guitar Jam ideas for beginner-intermediate players?

I study guitar as a hobby, beginner-intermediate level. I have weekly jam sessions with a friend who is much more advanced. I usually play notes from minor pentatonic in the key of what he plays. I sometimes use notes from other scales, although this is much more difficult. I mostly pluck the notes with the pick, occasionally using bends, slides, hammers,etc., but not so much yet, as I am still learning those. Occasionally I sound good but a lot of what I do is based on luck, trying to stay in rhythm and when I stumble upon a pattern I like, I repeat it a few times. Over the course of an hour I become repetitive, and after a few weeks, I feel I am running in circles. Where could I go from there? Any recommendations on learning material that would help me develop that aspect of guitar playing (which is the reason I got into guitar in the first place). We usually play blues style, but if there is material from other genres that can help me learn, I am curious to hear it. EDIT: THANK YOU EVERYONE, I WILL TRY YOUR SUGGESTIONS OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.

Any app that can track when I go to sleep and when I wake up?

I have tried a few but they all seem to be putting the priority on features I don't need, like recording the sounds while I sleep. I would just like a log of when I fall asleep and when I wake up. EDIT: Here is my plan B, until I find an app: when I go to bed, I send a text message to myself. When I wake up, I do the same. It gets automatically time-stamped. Example: "Ok Google, send a text saying Good Night to NemoWuming" "Ok Google, send a text saying Good Morning to NemoWuming"

What are the specifications for a multiple displayport monitor setup?

I have a desktop computer with displayport. I heard it was possible to connect 2 or even 3 monitors to it. I heard not all displayport monitors can be chained like that. Which specifications do I need to look for? EDIT: THANK YOU EVERYONE. YOUR INFORMATION HAS PUT ME ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

Sleep paralysis NemoWuMing • 5mo ago • 94%

Here's how I got rid of my sleep paralysis problem (Feel free to add your own tips)

I used to get it a few times a week. Now it's down to about 3 times in 10 years. In case this helps anyone, here is what I do: * I never sleep on my back anymore, only on my side * If I do roll on my back and if it does trigger it, I focus on moving my feet and toes, up and down and this will wake me up within a minute or less. * I informed the person sleeping next to me that if I become agitated or if I start moaning, they can wake me up simply by calling my name and saying "wake up, it's only a bad dream" a few times. I will wake up, feel thankful and peacefully go back to sleep, feeling safe and secure. Knowing that, the other person does the same. A thousand thanks to the anonymous writer who shared this information years ago.

Metronome app that can help with precision?

I study guitar as a hobby. When I practice, I often play a little ahead of the metronome click. I can see it when I record myself with GarageBand. I have been trying to adjust, but can't seem to progress. Is there a metronome app that would give me a strong visual clue when I am not exactly on the beat? * *Edit for clarification: I am looking for an app that will call me out in real-time, either visually or audibly, whenever I play offbeat.* Why am I bothering with this? I have heard musicians talking about making the metronome sound disappear by playing at the exact right time. I also noticed some people frowning when I play a split second before the click. Is it worth improving that aspect? Is there a better way to do it?

How to open Lemmy link in app instead of browser?

When I receive a Lemmy email notification on my phone, and I click on the link inside, it goes to the webpage in my browser, instead of opening in the CONNECT app. How do I reassign that? I'm using Google Pixel 7 with Android 13

Would like to know more about Pixel Watches

I see pre-ordering a Pixel 8 Pro would get me a free Pixel Watch. A quick look makes me see they can be used with FitBit (which I don't use nor need). For those of you who use those watches, what are the other features you enjoy the most? What has improved your daily routine? What would you miss if you lost the watch? Etc. Thanks for any insights!

Enhanced Notifications setting On or Off?

Does anyone here use it? What are your impressions? What are the advantages for you? Anyone tried it and then turned it off? What did you dislike about it? Edit: This is found under Settings/Notifications (at the bottom of that list)

Suggestion: Change the color of the new comments to make them easier to find

Posting this hoping the Connect dev can see it. In the list of posts, we can see the comments icon, followed by the number of comments, and then something like (+5) if there are 5 new comments since our last visit. Is it possible to change the color of these new comments in the comments list? It would be much easier to find them that way.

Pixel 7 Always on Display: Is there a risk of OLED screen burn in?

On my old Galaxy S7, the text would periodically move to different spots on the screen. Is there a way to do that on the Pixel 7? Edit: Thank you everyone for your feedback, I'm going to use the AOD as is.
