I want to try the new-for-me Choco&Coco bar, but I don't want to commit to 12 bars right away. Can I just get a couple extra bars on my subscription, to try?

It's not even really about money, I just don't want to waste bars.

Is it possible to add just a couple extra bars to my subscription?

Can I at least return the package if I don't like it after trying 1 or 2?

How do you guys deal with connecting multiple HDDs to your machine?

I'm getting stuck on the specific issue of getting a (budget friendly) bay/docking station for a few HDDs that doesn't go to sleep every few minutes of inactivity, and it seems harder than expected and so I wanted to hear from the community.

Quick context: I have a very basic setup for (mostly but not only) Immich on a raspberry Pi. I need to expand storage to accommodate a bigger a library and I'm looking into buying some HDDs (probably 3.5").

Of course, one of the big constraints, is that I have only two USB 3 ports. Let's focus on one: I'll need some USB hub + adapters, or - I thought - a docking station. I need to be able to connect many disks to the same port. Another constraints is that these disks will probably need separate power (or so I read, for 3.5").

At first I thought about simply having a USB hub and powered adapters per every disk. But that's a lot of plugs. So I started looking into docking stations for drives, and to my shock the couple that I could find at a few tens of euros have all some power saving mode that kicks in after a few minutes. My understanding is that the delay when I want to read a photo from a sleeping disk is going to be horrific. Other docking stations that don't seem to have this, are in the order of hundreds of euros (instead of tens), so it would start adding up, together with the drives, and I wanted to get a sanity check and see if maybe I was simply missing something, and get some opinions.

How are you guys dealing with this (with having many drives connected and "ready" with no sleep mode)?

Thanks to whomever wants to share some advice!

Signal is blocked when using Windscribe, messages don't go out (Amsterdam server)

The title.

Anyone experiencing the same? I understand it's essentially a Signal issue, but is there anything that can be done on Windscribe side?

How do I remove the "Ask Nova AI" button from the search bubble? I've already disabled it from settings

Couldn't upload the picture for some reason. Edit: picture in the comment.

Every time I type something resembling a question (or maybe just a long enough text, I don't know what's the trigger) this stupid suggestion comes up on top of everything else - even though I've already unticked the nova AI checkmark in the settings.

Anybody knows how to remove it?

For a launcher focused on customization, the fact that I can't remove that sh*t makes me feel violated.

Very, very bad UX.
