My pixel 7 Pro's vector motion sensor is broken. How the hell does that even happen? I've never even heard of it and there's like nothing online about it.

I can't do anything that requires tracking how the phone is moved- no compass calibration, no Map's guidance arrow, etc.

For anyone that was using the beta previously-

Loading remote images and the 3 dot menu for Reply and Forward is now working so the beta now seems full function. That was my number one complaint when I was moved over to the beta branch (guess I forgot that I signed up for it).

I feel pretty similar, have you found a different site you think you'll like better?

It's not as slick looking but take a look at Ubooquity. I have it on my Linux server and haven't had any issues. Granted I mostly use it for sharing ebook files, not reading them on the server itself so it might not be what you're looking for

These are all on my list of cool things I tell people about Japan. It really is a bunch of small stuff that I found great.

Another small one - most grocery stores have a packing area past payment and there's usually a little bottle with a light temporary glue next to the plastic bags. So the line moves faster and you never fumble opening the thin plastic bags

Between Two Fires and his more recent Black Tongue Thief are so so good

You should submit some of your photos to Wikipedia. They're very clear compared to some of the handful in the article

I've read all of the WOT books twice now (but multiple attempts...) And while they hold a special place in my heart and are instrumental in helping shape the modern epic fantasy scene, I'm kinda iffy of recommending them to people, especially those just getting into the genre. Be interested to hear your (and others!) thoughts on this as you get deeper into the series.

I loved ITSOL! Just reread it last month actually. I remember just being on the edge of my seat for the last third of the book If you enjoyed that I would recommend The Powder mage Trilogy by the same author, he does a good job of mixing a mystery investigation POV and a more action oriented one, just like in ITSOL, and I find it very engaging. Also The First Law Series. I think you'll enjoy the tone and mix of Known and Unknown Magics in those series similar to ITSOL.

I can also recommend The Will of The Many and The Blacktongue Thief, which were two of my books of the year for their releases, if you're looking for fantasy with a different tone than your standard, run of the mill sword and magic series
