Clipboard doesn't save text.

Hello, I have an A53 with Android 13, and I use Gboard as keyboard. All updated.
The normal copy and paste, works fine, but the clipboard doesn't keep text in memory more than a few hours.
After a bunch of hours, the copied text in clipboard, just disappear, regardless if I keep the phone on or I restart it.

With my old Android 9 phone, I had all the copied text always available in clipboard, until I manually deleted it.

It might be your device well being, being efficient and keeping your device optimized. I never really use clipboard save for the frequent copy and paste. Never used it to copy for the entire day. You can try turning down your device wellbeing and see if that is the issue or not.

Yes, moto G7. Suppose to backup automatically but doesn't seem to be working. When I go to Settings to System to Backup, it says it's turned on. If I click onto Backup, it takes me to another window. Under the "Manage Storage" it says Backup by Google One. The toggle button is turned on. There is also a rectangular blue block which reads "back up now." When I click onto it that block turns grey and the toggle button turns grey.
When I'm checking anything on a news story, etc., whenever I click onto the window, instead of getting the second window with verbage, usually I get a white blank window. It may or may not stay white. Also, every time I hit something, it "tics." It use to be very quiet whenever I surfed around on the phone.

Thank You for the OBD Fusion link.
Am wanting a product that will do more than read and clear DTC codes. Such as do cylinder power balance, shut off fuel injectors, etc. Have never come across Google Play OBD apps that come close to doing these functions.
Time to spring for an OBD2 tablet I reckon.

Legacy Update, is now a thing

nickdalzell
These days Linux and Nvidia are the bad relationship. If your GPU has Nvidia on it forget Linux entirely.

Odd how the turn tables...

I only use Linux on two machines. The one mentioned gaming rig that outright refused to accept my favorite OS which is Windows 7, plus gaming support no longer working on 7, and one Toshiba laptop that won't boot USB nor CD versions of Windows anymore. It boots Linux fine but not Windows. It came with Windows 8 so something's amiss there. It hardly ever gets use though due to wonky graphics issues as well as wonky wifi. It only works for a half hour then freezes. Just started doing that after a decade.

In the future, Linux might be used if only to maintain ability to browse the modern web and use YouTube, once Windows 7 no longer has third party hacks to maintain such support (Pale Moon and Legacy Update and other apps keep the few of us who love Windows 7 and Vista going for now). I just refuse to throw away tech just because it's old, especially when it often has more features than the new stuff.

ChatGPT anyone try it?

Rob said:
The hype about its evil personality and secretly wanting to escape is so dumb: a bunch of clickbait journalists manufacturing the story rather than reporting it. The technology isn't perfect... after all, it is based on millions of pieces of human written content, which obviously has errors. ChatGPT simply uses that database of content as the example, and based on what you tell it, tries to predict what might come next of the text already existed.

I think the fear over that had a lot to do with the infamous Microsoft chat bot Tay a few years ago:

HELP! SMILEY FACE ICON

nickdalzell
I tried looking up the Roblox icon for notifications and it has no face, just a weird interpretation of the letter 'R'. Lego has no app that produces notitifcations I could find.

Am I just getting old though or is it just odd that OP and others here care about what notifications are on their partner's smartphone? I ain't that paranoid about the myriad of icon clutter that shows up on my girlfriend's phone whenever she sends screenshots...I don't even know half of 'em but it don't bother me...
