Notion isn't exactly known as a speed demon... On Android it can take 30+ seconds to share a URL to the Notion app. It's faster to paste the link in the Notion app directly. I know because I do it 10-

When dad’s phone died I was the first one mom called for help. She always apologizes when calling for help. I’m not sure if she’s just being polite or she really doesn’t know the joy it brings me to b

Last year, I learned QGIS through the GIS and Spatial Analysis for Urban Practitioners course by All Things Urban. This year, with free Udemy access via SFPL, I'm looking to expand my skills. First, I dug up my old final project to revisit and share....

TLDR: I made a tool to do this: Wikidata string to QID tool (source). Bulk adding information to Wikidata by hand is a pain. I have an idea for creating a map of MVNOs (mobile virtual network operators) and their ownership (AT&T owns Cricket, Verizon...

Friends often joke about how bad FixBus is but none of the ~10 rides I've been on were particularly unpleasant. In fact, this most recent bus even had 250 MB of free WiFi. I didn’t bother using it but I found it to be an amusingly small amount for a ...

I use Free Mobile as my phone company in Europe. €19.99 for 35GB of roaming is a great deal since it works not only in Europe but much of the Americas, Asia, Australia and much more.
Anyway, I was poking around in my account setting trying to figure out how to stop Free from texting me every time I turn off airplane mode:
Messagerie "666" Free: le 06/12 à 11:49, ce correspondant a appelé 1 fois sur votre mobile sans laisser de message
It comes from different numbers so I can't just block it. If anyone knows how to stop these please let me know! Edit: I asked support and they said it can't be turned off.
I was on the "my options page" and turned on "blocked plan" (Forfait bloqué) which says:
Activating this option will block all calls, SMS and MMS to special paid numbers as well as roaming and paid communications to and internationally or DROM-COM.
Oops, I didn't realize that would stop my roaming data from working right away...
When I got back on wifi I turned off that setting, rebooted, turned off my phone, waited a few hours, changed APN settings (I use these), etc. But ultimately I couldn't get any connection to the data that afternoon.
Settings> Network & Internet > Sims (select my sim) > Turn off "Automatically select network"
In that list, most networks say something like "4G vodafone NL (forbidden)". I tapped it anyway. Then I connected to data without a problem. I went back and turned on auto select network again so I don't have any problems when I travel.
