I vote Rob gives you the phone number to call in a fix when it is needed ...

Got it. If you can see your contacts at contacts.google.com, then they’re still saved in your Google account — you just need to get them syncing properly back to your Pixel 6.
Here’s how you can fix it step by step:
1. Make sure Google Contacts sync is turned on
On your Pixel 6, open Settings.
Go to Passwords & accounts (sometimes just “Accounts”).
Tap your Google account (the same one you use on contacts.google.com).
Select Account sync.
Make sure Contacts is switched ON. If it already is, toggle it off, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on.
Tap the three-dot menu (⋮) and hit Sync now.
2. Clear Contacts storage and resync
If step 1 doesn’t refresh them:
Go to Settings > Apps > See all apps.
Find and tap Contacts.
Tap Storage & cache > Clear storage (don’t worry, this just clears the local database, not your Google account).
Restart your phone.
Force a Sync now again (as in Step 1).
3. Restore deleted contacts (if you actually deleted them)
Google keeps backups of deleted contacts for 30 days:
On your PC, go to Google Contacts.
Click the Settings gear ⚙️ > Undo changes.
Choose a time (e.g., “10 minutes ago,” “1 week ago,” or a custom date within 30 days).
Click Undo.
After this, sync again on your phone.
4. Import them manually (if sync still won’t work)
Since you can see them on your PC, you can export and re-import:
On contacts.google.com, click the Export option (left menu).
Choose Google CSV format.
On your Pixel 6, go to Contacts app > Fix & manage > Import from file.
Select the CSV file you exported.
This will bring them directly into your phone’s local contacts.
Hope this will be your help.

Just signed on with a company for fiber.

My machine is hard wired and the tv is streamed. I can have mesh but really do not need it as the only device is the tv box.

I have not bothered to check the wireless speed to the tv, as long as it works I am good.

This it the hardwire computer :

Negative, the box will only go as fast as the box can.

Well the rumour mill was correct: they just announced the Venu 4, which seems to have a lot of added fitness features, multi-band GPS, and the LED flashlight they've previously kept for higher-priced devices.

Might have bought this if they'd released it 7 weeks earlier. But it's also very similar to the Forerunner 570, both in price and features, and I decided not to buy that one, so maybe I wouldn't have. I think on balance I did better by getting the F165 when I did, since I've been using it pretty intensively since then (took up running again, for the first time in decades).

Yeah and boom my hearing aid app will not have a photo op for the widex moment, it was working okay duration of the first reboot, I think I need to reboot it again, tomorrow to fix that glitch again, damn..It has the summer flu.

Back in junior high school i learned that there was a country that came up with a very cost effective way to deal with drunk drivers
Execution . Drinking and driving became a capital offense and sometimes executions were done during the traffic stop .
Drunk driving incidents basically vanished, things like designated drivers, cutting people off, drinking at places closer to where you liked became pretty popular

Sadly it's now being reported that not only has the team been laid-off but Kevin has left, and also been instructed to stop working on open-sourcing Nova (it was apparently part of the original purchase deal that it would be open-sourced if he left, but it sounds like that agreement was worthless in practice).

So right now it's working fine, and I have no immediate plans to switch. But presumably it's only a matter of time until some Android update will break features and eventually the whole app. Of course that may be many years from now: I have apps that haven't been updated for 10-15 years that still work, but they are much simpler and will have many fewer dependencies than Nova, so I'm not expecting it will last that long.

contact? just g

Apparently they are out of the particular product. She wants an exact replacement. Why is it that difficult to contact walmart?

have her go into a store. if they do not have it, they should be able to order her one. if they can't order it, then just have her ask for a full refund. i worked in retail management for almost 10 years so i know how returns work for these brick and mortar stores.

My pc is compadible with it throughout my NVDIDA adaptor, too bad I do not have the money hahaa.

That is all I did, doubled check it with the clock screen saver and works..

And so much more

I'm partial to Brave browser myself. It's based on Chromium, just like Chrome and Edge. I don't like Firefox, but Waterfox is a privacy-based version of it. It's basically Firefox that has been de-Mozilla'd.

FWIW, I am visiting China for the first time in a few weeks. I guess the oppressiveness of the process to get a visa is just a warmup?

I fdr it because of moto email was sent yesterday using an unfamiliar name to me and, well I think that trimmed off the fat, tried everything I could of mustared up and just take it out of the ordeal, everything is great..

Hi Ocnbrze,

Should have been more clear.
I used the One UI 8 phone settings/modes and routines.
Created two routines for on and off.
Turned off intelligent wifi setting for "turn on wifi on/off Automatically" setting so I have full controll of what is added for wifi spots. I have to add them manually.

Corca.

A decent channel that does not pull down all the toons, thinking outside of Adult toons animation or anime for once,
just all filtered throughout without the needs to get a blu ray player either,or hunt down anything that is old school either,
A decent channel that does ont pull down all the toons.

Or all the real pop culture shows when we grow up on, without the newest shows pushing us to watch them.

Mine's roughly the same. Not too shabby after 4.5 years of use.

Sorry for hijacking your thread ironass.

Glad to see Vivo continuing to provide good software support for the X Fold3 Pro, especially with Android 15 still in the stabilization phase.

I know also Dropbox has a such a program build inside the app too.

Have you tried installling VLC?

I rarely change my desktop. Kept the same wallpaper through 6 different phones as well as 4 tablets. Using Nova Prime.

Bed, Bath & Beyond won’t open stores in California. Here’s why​

Published: Aug. 21, 2025 at 6:21 AM CDT

Bed, Bath & Beyond is opening stores again after filing for bankruptcy and closing all its stores in 2023, but there will not be any in California.

On Wednesday, Bed, Bath & Beyond’s executive chairman, Marcus Lemonis, explained why the company has decided not to open stores in the state.

“California has created one of the most overregulated, expensive, and risky environments for businesses in America,” he said in a statement.

Lemonis claims that the state’s “higher taxes, higher fees, higher wages” are unsustainable for many businesses.

“We’re taking a stand because it’s time for common sense. Businesses deserve the chance to succeed. Employees deserve jobs that last. And customers deserve fair prices. California’s system delivers the opposite,” he said.

California will still be able to shop at Bed, Bath & Beyond, but only online.

Lemonis said the company is investing in a “California strategy,” which will include same-day delivery, as well as 24- or 48-hour delivery.

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s Press Office said in a post on X that they “wish them well in their efforts to become relevant again.”

Bed, Bath & Beyond reopened its first store in Tennessee on Aug. 8.
