Is AAEnabler meant to fix the issue where an app installed outside the Play Store would sometimes not show up?

It's something That's been annoying me because the 2 apps i use the most, Tempus & AntennaPod, are installed from GitHub & F-Droid, respectively, & occasionally, they won't show up in the Android Auto launcher.

[Feature request] GPodder syncing

As someone who has a self-hosted Nextcloud setup, I’ve been reliant on my Nextcloud-Gpodder to sync my podcasts on my devices. Until recently, only iOS is out of the loop. Are there plans on adding one.

I’ve had good times with this podcast, but I recently switched to YourPods because of that missing feature. Hopefully, you’ll consider it.

Is there an alternative to Firefox Relay for cell number masking that works in Canada?

I'm curious to know if there are alternatives to Firefox Relay that masks cell numbers?

I currently have Simple Mail for email masking so that part isn't as important.

There's one called MySudo that I found, and I'm curious to know your thoughts on that? It caught my eye cuz of the word "sudo".

How to change the phone number that's getting forwarded from the phone mask number?

I'll be changing my phone number soon, and I'm working on ensuring I can change all of my important services tied to my current number to the new one.

I can't seem to find a way to change the number that's tied to my Firefox Relay. Is there a way to do that?

Any ideas what may be causing this clunking/deep clicking sound whenever I'm slowing down and applying light brake pressure?

I wanted to post this video of my car making weird clunking, sound whenever I'm slowing down and applying brake pressure, but this subreddit doesn't allow videos.

I'd like your opinion as I went to Nissan 2x now to have it looked at.

The car is pretty new (2025 Nissan Sentra SR @ 29000km (got it at 12000km as demo)). I had the car serviced 2x now, and the last time, the problem came back after a week or so. Right now, its not as loud as this yet, but I know its coming.

I know they disassembled & cleaned my brakes, but I can't figure out why it keeps coming back.

Any ideas what may be causing this sound whenever I'm slowing down and applying light brake pressure?

I've been to the dealership 2x now to have this checked out and after they service the brakes, the problem disappears for 1-2 weeks. Afterwards, it slowly starts to come back.

They disassembled my brakes & cleaned my front rotors and pads, and re-adjusted the pins (latter was done the 2nd time, I think).

I've been thinking it was related to the pads, but was hoping it wasn't the case. Am I right in thinking its the pads?

My Android Auto suddenly got switched from Google Assistant to Gemini. How worried should I be in terms of privacy?

I was driving a few days ago when the voice in my car changed. I didn't think much about it until when I tried to text someone over voice, Android Auto prompted me to let Gemini go through my contacts.

My contacts are NOT in Google at all as they're in my own Nextcloud server. and synced on my device. I also don't use the voice as much unless I need to text someone as the apps I'm using are either from F-Droid (i.e. AntennaPod), and I don't use a subscription service for my music (Tempo or Symfonium using music from my Navidrome).

As of right now, I switched back to Google Assistant, but I doubt that'll last. How worried should I be in terms of privacy? I wanna balance convenience and privacy, and right now, iPhone is most likely gonna be the solution for that.

My coworker (we'll call him Alex) is unable to view images that were uploaded by file (either by him or by the people he's corresponding to), but is able to see images that were pasted from clipboard. In addition, anyone that he's corresponding to is having the same problem, but only when corresponding with him.

This happens on Teams app in his personal & work computers (both Macs), along with the web browser (tested with Chrome, Safari & Edge) on both Mac and Linux.

The only time it works normally is on the mobile app.

I've tried:

  • revoking his session via Entra
  • full sign out and sign in
  • different profiles
  • clearing Teams cache

I'm personally stumped.
