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.

Hey I'm looking at doing the same- what'd you go to grad school for?

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

I was just in Japan for about 4 months, mostly Tokyo. Id say somewhere around a quarter of public men's rooms I used didn't have soap dispensers. Taiwan was worse though - most baffling was the lack of soap on my plane to and from Taipei

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

What you're saying is technically true but do you know what was a horrible experience?

A few weeks ago when I, in Japan, needed to download many 5+ Gb project files I had backed up on my home server in the US after a hard drive failure and I was hamstrung by my shitty domestic up speed limit.

At least with large web file hosts like Google, iCloud, and mega you're not restricted by your inferior domestic upload speeds. Being able to access the server from anywhere is only half the battle
