do you know if there is a way to see what memberships/accounts your gmail is linked to?

Yes! In fact, you can see it with this link https://myaccount.google.com/connections :D

Sign in - Google Accounts

Just sign in and it should take you right to it!

Alternatively, if link spooky, go to myaccount.google.com, sign in if you haven’t, then select the option saying something like «Thirdparty apps and services». This one:

ok so I have a set of headphones, but I haven't really used them much ever since I found out that the bluetooth radiation basically goes to your brain?

now I could just be paranoid, but I've seen people (even neuroscientists!) talk about it, and I will admit, it does seem sketchy when even billionaires and celebrities use wired headphones...

I am debating whether I should just buy a wire and connect it to my phone-headphones, or just buy a completely new set of headphones with a built in wire. What do you think?

(also if you know any good headphone brands that you could recommend that would be great thanks✨🎧)

Wild if true!! I tried looking up info about the bluetooth stuff, most of what I found is «might» and «not enough research», it wouldn’t surprisre me if it’s true but I haven’t found any clear evidence yet.

BUT, if you’d rather stay on the safe side! I actually use my own bt headset (Sont WH-1000XM4) with a wire because my portable CD player has no bluetooth. It works well for sound, but only for sound. Stuff like noise cancellation (idk how to spell it) and touch gestures don’t work. The plus side is that one time my aux wire broke, so I just replaced it ez pz B)))

With wired headsets made for being wired, they may have these types of features more built-in (if any). I have two headsets rn, one (DT 900 pro X) is for music production with a hq detachable wire and open back! I love it, but they’re huge and may not be suitable for casual listening. My other one is a gaming headset, the sound is mice but the volume control on the wire is kinda weird so I have to set it to specific positions to get sound in both ears. Do not recommend lmao.

So,

Wire pros: Lower cost, easier to replace broken wire. Cons: Your headset may not be able to to some things it previously could, if any

New headset pros: May have functionalities (depending on choice), honestly they just often look super cool. Cons: Cost, some don’t have a detachable wire so if it breaks then you’re screwed

If I were you: If the headset you have still works well and isn’t that old, I’d probably just get the wire to save money. If not, get a new nice headset! Wish I had better recommendations, but in my experience Sony is most often a safe choice 💪 If you live near a store where you can try headsets with your phone or whatever you listen to music on, I’d recommend listening to your favs there!

Never a bad time to go headset shopping 😌

hi!

I just found your blog and I was wondering if I could ask you a question?

you see, I am contemplating buying something called "SANDISK". From my understanding, this is a sort of storage drive for your phone. I've seen a lot of content creators/influencers use this and promote it. But the thing is, since these creators are more likely getting paid, how can I trust that it's a good and authentic product?

I was just wondering what your thoughts are on this as a more tech savvy person? and if you know any more about this product & brand?

Thank you so much🩵

Hi! Sorry I’m a couple days late!

I’ve looked at it and a bunch of reviews, and it seems to me that it should deliver what it says for the most part! The speeds can vary, but SSDs are already very fast so it there shouldn’t be any risk of some transfers being painfully slow. I actually searched for bad reviews, all I could find was a video on aYouTube channel that only makes videoes called «Reasons NOT to buy something», and the reasons it had for Sandisk was stuff like «The included Adobe Cloud subscription is just a gimmick! There aren’t enough storage options!» and I take that as a good sign lmao

I haven’t used a Sandisk external drive before, but I have used their memory cards and USB sticks and never had any issues with speed or failures :D I should mention however that I saw there has been many issues with a different line of products from them, the Extreme Pro hard drives, which would often fail. But they are the only ones I’ve seen that are bad, the Creator Pro which is the one you want is ok! 👌

As for the iPad question from your other ask, it should work with that too! As well as Windows and macOS :D

So to sum up, it seems to me like a solid product, and now I’m lowkey considering it myself lmao

Do you have any suggestions for a good backup for the iPad? I'm not very tech savvy so…what do I do? my icloud storage is full, it stopped taking backups a long time ago. Do I invest and pay for more storage? or should I just buy a hard drive and connect it to my ipad?

First of all, so so sorry I’m so late for this!! 💔 Second, to the answer!

Ok so, I’m a very recent iPad haver so I’m not that educated. But! What you basically need to think about, is what’s more important: cost, or conveniance.

You can ofc pay for more iCloud storage, which is more convenient since it backups automatically, but you have to keep paying to keep it up and if you have to stop the subscription for whatever reason, you need to put your files somewhere else or they might be deleted (I think).

For external options you can either get an external drive and copy your files over manually, but it takes more work and you have to remember to hook it up and all of that. You can also download iTunes on your computer and use this to do backups which takes care of copying everything for you! But you’ll need to have enough space on your computer, unless there’s an option to use iTunes to back it up to an external drive (you’ll still need the computer tho ofc)

Soooo, it depends on what’s more important! If you know you might forget or be like «urg i don’t wanna have to hook up the external drive» them I’d say go for more iCloud! Otherwise if you’d like more control and don’t mind the minor amount of labor, go for an external drive! And use iTunes to automate the process ❤️

this one artist that I follow on instagram just said that she lost all of her procreate files that she made over the years. because when she tried to update her ipad it just glitched and turned off, and it didn't wanna turn back on again, so she took it to some tech people at apple I think, and the people that fixed it managed to turn it back on but all of her stuff was gone... she said she regretted doing the update and that she would never do it if she knew that was the outcome, and that she should have backed up her procreate files.

I guess I just find it weird how an update can ruin you whole ipad.... why do apple make updates that can ruin your product, isn't the whole point of an ios-update that your device becomes more protected?

Nooo! That sucks so bad, I feel so sorry for her 😭

Always keep backups of files you don't want to lose! Updates are meant to improve the device yes (well maybe except those that just add ads to the taskar, tsk tsk), but they're sadly not fool-proof and the process of updating itself isn't risk free since it's probably modifying important files. If the device loses power or there is a major bug in the update, the chances your device is bricked are high ;0;

You can think of it like surgery! The outcome of it is to give the patient a better life, but if they lose power or the surgeons suddenly leave while the patient is wide open at the operating table, they'll probably die :S

What I imagine happened to the artist's iPad is that something went wrong mid-update which left the OS broken, and the support people had no choice but to reinstall the OS which wiped the device, unfortunately that's all you can do at that point 💔

Backups backups backups! Take backups! Precious file you don't wanna lose? Don't keep it only in one place! Always be prepared for that one place to suddenly break out of nowhere!

hva skjer hvis jeg leverer inn pc/telefon som jeg ikke trenger lenger til mobiloperatører som telenor? fjerner de all informasjon på den, eller...?

Jeg vil regne med de gjør det, tror de er nødt pga personvern og sånt. Men jeg har nok kommet til å resette den til fabrikkinnstillinger for å være sikker 😄

På mobiler kan du gjøre det fra innstillinger. På Windows er det en innebygd ting og, husker ikke helt hvor det ligger, men er nok i innstillingene et sted der og.

På Mac finnes det sikkert en mer lettvint måte, men du kan i hvert fall boote i recovery mode, åpne Diskverktøy og så slette disken derfra :) Det som er kjekt med den er at (med mindre jeg husker feil) du kan velge hvor sikker slettingen skal være! Minst sikker bare markerer filene som ledig plass (men man kan kanskje gjenopprette dem med de rette verktøyene), mens sikker sletting skriver over alle filene med tilfeldig 0 og 1 opptil flere ganger B))) Det er sikkert noe lignende på Windows og, men har ikke sjekka o.o

I have so many email accounts and I need to delete 80% of them😵‍💫

Omg I felt that 🫠 I have some emails I'd forgotten until I found it in my saved passwords, but ofc the password was wrong and those emails are lost TuT

[noriakinure]

ok so, I might be stupid for asking this but- what's the difference between a gmail and a google account? I thought they were the same😭

Hahaha it's not stupid dw, I thoight the same until I looked it up 😂

I'm not 100% myself, but if I understand correctly the Gmail account is primarily just for email while a Google account includes Gmail, but also stuff like Google Photos, YouTube, uuuh etcetc?? Like, you can delete Gmail and keep the Google account, but if you delete the Google account (I think) the Gmail also gets thanosed??

Not 100% sure tho :")
