dude this hinge app
there are some aspects of its UX that are very polished
but its voicecall (and i think its videocall) capabilities are ass
i just had a 1 hour call with a match
hinge dropped our call like 5 times over 30 minutes
every time the call drops, i had no idea it happened, and either kept talking or remained in awkward silence trying to think what to bring up
and only when she calls me again to reconnect do i realize that the call got dropped
and when i tried to pick up the call it’s a whole another clusterfuck
hinge is shoving its survey down my throat
“how did your call go? would you like to learn more about her? thank you for providing your feedback”
while the hinge voice incoming call is still ringing
and somewhere in the notifications i think is also a message she sent saying “oh we got dropped”
amazing
and when i use my bluetooth headsets for a video call or voice call, the app ignores the bluetooth headset
seriously
is this 2008
how hard was it to implement bluetooth headset support

i’m streaming world of tanks nd my main GPU is going between 100% and 30%.. weird, never had this happen

I enabled Google chat in the Gmail app today
1. It seems they integrated back old Google Hangouts chat log, stretching back to 2013. However, not all of Google hangout chat log seems to be here. Just some of it.
2. So many spam messages in the 2016-2017 period backlog

3. There are some bizarre truncated exchanges and it’s unclear whether the exchange was incomplete or one sided like shown or whether the hangouts database transfer had tons of database corruptions :yonghuh:

Like this exchange with a current work colleague
Hmm is this when I was working on brushing up colleagues resume :monkahmm:

I give this scammer A for effort.

Sends three pages worth of Nigerian bank scheme, and then follows up by sending “please do you understand English?” In Korean language

i’m starting the year
by googling “IRS federal tax rate 2022”

great, my formula for calculating tax payments was wrong
i was just thinking “my cashflow is a bit low, i wish i had left more money in the checking account. a bit nervous actually”
in the meantime overpaid 5k in taxes in december bc of my faulty formula, just found out now :yonghuh:
maybe if I do my taxes early this year i can get it back

actually after reviewing the formula logic, formula seems correct. it generates the correct amount for december’s payment
why did i pay double that :yonghuh:

These poor fellas at newspaper companies tinkering with the internet had no idea that it was the beginning of the end of their entire industry

I’m looking to change my health insurance

• hopefully I can get Physical Therapy/Kinesiology/Acupuncture coverage (maybe it will be a more expensive plan, but if it covers these things it will be worth it)
• or something where the process of referrals to specialists doesn’t take months. I hope to nail down my breathing problem. It’s just slowly getting worse I feel
• or maybe just give up and move to a cheaper plan
• LA Care agent said that even though CoveredCalifornia’s enrollment deadline is Jan 31, for off-exchange plans, the deadline is Dec 31 (huh??)

• Current Plan: Health Net Gold $450/month
• LA Care Direct Gold/Plat: $350-$400
• Kaiser Gold/Plat: $410-$460

i think i lost the USB receiver of my wireless mechanical keyboard :kek~1:
i packaged the keyboard and receiver for the oakland trip
then i thought “thats a dumb idea, the keyboard doesn’t fit in the suitcase”
now i don’t know where the receiver is
