What's the tl;dr on the Privacy Policy update? (Aug 9 2026)
What actually changed?
What actually changed?
All I can think of is:
Metro North doesn't count. I mean IRT BMT IND subways.
Yes, I googled it and got results that were all "HOW DO I NOT USE ONEDRIVE HRBLGBRLGWBL!" I feel you, but that has nothing to do with what I need.
I mostly use excel but I'm guessing that if there is a resolution to this, it will probably be a similar resolution.
You know when you click on the title bar where it says "Book1" it lets you save the document, or change the name if it's already saved, right? I'd like to change that so it points to C:\Users\me**\OneDrive** rather than C:\Users\me**\OneDrive\Documents**.
I looked in the settings and can only find a "default local location" which points to C:\Users\me\Documents, which has nothing to do with anything. Just to do my diligence, I tried taking the extra step of saving a file to me\Onedrive and then created a new document and clicked on Book1. Nope. Still defaults to OneDrive\Documents. I don't see anywhere to change that default setting, and pinning or unpinning locations in that Save this file dialog box has no effect on that. More options... just opens up a more traditional local save dialog but that doesn't say anything related to changing default anything.
And oh yeah, I tried renaming the Documents folder, and now it won't let me save anything that way without first changing the folder from the default-and-now-nonexistent OneDrive\Documents folder.
If there's something really obvious that I'm missing, well I guess it's another day ending in Y. But I appreciate any info anyone has.
Thanks.
I can't find my phone and the battery is definitely dead. Galaxy A71 for the record.
GOAL: I need to know if it made it the whole way home with me, or if it fell out of a bag or pocket or something on the way.
Using Find Hub is pointless if the battery is dead, but it does say "Last seen at 2:38 AM on Aug 13, 2026"
I can't exactly look up where it was up until the battery died because they took away the option to use the timeline except on the device itself. If I knew where it was, I wouldn't need to use the timeline to find it.
On my Series 6, it was either under Bluetooth settings or Network settings, I forget which, but I had it set to "Apt 7A" both so I could confirm that it's definitely mine, and to keep others from mistakenly connecting to it. However I don't see anywhere in the settings menus of my 55" 2025 model to make this change, or even see it. Has this feature simply been phased out? Or did I miss something?

I googled it, I swear. I followed all sorts of advice I found like
so far none of that works.
For some reason, I always believed that was 42nd street and 2nd avenue (in spite of the rather long trip the train makes on screen). Upon re-examination, it's clearly not. So was this supposed to be an existing part of midtown manhattan, or is there no intersection that looks like this? Because recreating existing architecture in CGI seems a lot easier to me than having to design whole new buildings in CGI.
INB4 "duuh, that's not an actual train" you don't say?
I don't have children. I don't want children.
I just installed it and turned it on for the first time and it's acting like windows 11. I don't want to create a pin. How do I skip this?
Granted it's not Riff Trax's MST3k-style comedy format, and it's not like YMS's "watch-along podcast" but rather the visual equivalent of a DVD commentary for his own content.
Still it's feels weird to hear him use the word "invented" like that, even if it isn't technically incorrect.
When I type in the address bar, I'd like zero suggestions. How do I do that?
My eyesight isn't very good. Using the built in SMS app, when I had to do a 2FA on my desktop computer instead of my phone, I could pinch-zoom to make the text bigger. That worked fine.
Now I have to copy the 2FA code, email it to myself, then on my computer copy that and paste it into the website. It's just a minor nuisance for the first 3 times, but after 8 or 9 times it's very frustrating. Some websites let you use your email address instead of your phone number but a lot insist on only SMS.
Please say the paid version lets you resize it.
YES I GOOGLED IT. But all I can find is stuff pertaining to Microsoft 365 or whatever Office is called now.
I'm using Macrium for backups, but after my first BSOD in a long time, the backup task XML seems to be corrupted. Since the scheduled backups are just regular windows scheduled tasks, I figure that's what's messed up. So is there a way to restore tasks if you back up your entire hard drive regularly? Where do they go, and can you just replace the corrupted or missing ones with a copy from your backups?
I try to send a photo with wifi on and mobile off, I get "code 8"
I try to send a GIF and I get an error with "code 5"
The website looks like whoever is running it went out for milk and cigarettes 2 years ago if you catch my meaning, so where would such codes be listed? Or are they intentionally not listed?
"Must add at least (1) Classic Fry and one (1) Sandwich or Burger to cart prior to checkout."
Wait, so by "add" do they mean I have to order a burger and fries to get free fries?
Burger and fries and fries? Where's my viking hat?
You know how you can add a chart as a tab, or insert it into a spreadsheet tab? I'd like to do that with a jpeg. Have one tab that's a spreadsheet and one tab that's just an image and not a spreadsheet with an image in it.
I tried looking on Google to see if or how that's possible, but the results were all "how to insert an image into a cell." I know how to do that. I've done it plenty. Nothing about doing that to a tab rather than a cell, save for one forum thread that had all this stuff about ActiveX controls, which I don't know how to create, implement, or debug at all.
It's not urgent, so if what I want to do does in fact require learning ActiveX, I suppose I can learn on my own eventually. But if there is some simple way for noob end users to do it, it sure would help. Thanks.
Say you have a spreadsheet that looks like this
__A__ __B___
apple . vase
basket . frame
chair . camera
door . shoe
This is clearly sorted alphabetically based on column A. However what if you wanted to sort everything by whats in B instead? You know so it becomes this:
__A__ __B___
chair camera
basket frame
door shoe
apple vase
How do you do that in mobile? Because all I see is Sort Ascending and Sort Descending. That would allow you to sort A and B by A, or only sort B and not A.
[Please forgive the typo. I meant to say "Fast Charge is to Qualcomm Quick Charge 3 ..."]
Pretty sure this is a USB-C question since "Super Fast" only works when both ends are C.
My goal is to find out what the official term for this technology is, rather than it's "common name."
OK you know how 100baseT is officially called "Fast Ethernet" even though it's been decades since 100Mbps was considered any sort of "fast"? It was called that because 10baseT came before it. It's relative, but that's the official term. If you call 10baseT "fast ethernet" you're considered lying in legal terms, not because 10Mbps "isn't fast" but because that's a specific name for something and your slower cable isn't that thing.
I have yet to see anything claiming that the terms "fast charging" or "fast charge" exclusively mean Qualcomm Fast Charge and nothing else (a proprietary technology that works over USB-A, USB-microB, and probably others). But that's what it almost always means. When your phone says "Charging" it's regular USB charging. When it says "Fast Charging" it's using Qualcomm Fast Charge 3.x. But that's defacto, it's what people commonly choose to do. It doesn't mean you can claim false advertising if a charger is listed as having a "fast charge" only ever says "charging" on your phone. "Fast charge" is not an official falsifiable term. Qualcomm Fast Charge 3 is, and sometimes it will list that in a product description or specs. If it doesn't have that, the phrase "fast charging" can just mean "oh yeah it's fast, like really really totally fast, trust me" and would probably hold up in court if it somehow came to that.
Then there's superfast charge, which only ever works if both ends of the cable are USB-C, and shows up on the phone with the words "super fast charge" in teal or cyan as opposed to green. But like "fast charge," using those 3 words alone doesn't force you to be accountable if your product doesn't have the technology to make the phone say "super" or the bar or circle show up as teal rather than green.
So then what's the specific category or technology that makes "super fast" different than "fast"?

Image is from an anker dot com service post that doesn't really answer the question.
For the record, ad blockers don't seem to work against this anyway. I know it's pointless to expect anything but downvotes, but without due diligence of stepping on the rake and getting hit by the handle I can't actually say I tried anything.
Not sure why photos aren't allowed. It's like going to the doctor because of a rash on your thigh and insisting you keep your jeans on. I'm concerned that responses will be 2002 style Experts Exchange drive-by bullshit where people read 3 words, ass-ume the most common issue, then call you rude for correcting them. So if you don't have access to imgur, well, then stop wasting your time and move on to the next potential karma harvest.
What I will say is that I don't have this problem with FF since they support ublock and most chromium browsers don't because reasons. I was just hoping there's something I can do that doesn't require yet another damn browser extension. Something you can do on the end-user side that's just normal like disabling something.
If you know who I need to hit up, let me know.
If you have an actual solution, let me know.
If you're sure that's just the way it is and some things will never change, I won't downvote you but I will be disappointed.
