Is anyone using Google Inbox? I just installed it today on a couple of accounts, and the email part is easy peasy (dismissing them is great), but the admin part stumps me on my phone's form factor.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I tried it for a couple of weeks, and ended up switching back. It was great for the kind of email that I want to skim and delete quickly (delivery notifications and whatnot), but way worse for the things I actually wanted to read and respond to. I never even really bothered with it on the phone, since fast skim and delete is already my default mode there.

I like the pin and reminder function, and now it's on my tablet on my fanfic account and my "official" account. I'm interested to see how a few weeks floats. But I do have to turn off the notification noises.
I feel like I'm not playing right because I don't have audio notifications for my email. Text me first!

Okay, I want to share photographs. A lot of them. Attaching in an email is not feasible. Is there a site or something that I can upload and link to, and the recipient can download them easily and without cost or loss of integrity? And without cost to me for uploading?

Hey. New board.
Do you have a dropbox account? Sharing whole folders of things is easy peasy with dropbox.

I'll create one, and hope like heck the recipient has one as well, or is willing to create one too.
Wait, hmmm, free trial needing CC deets. I'll wait until tomorrow, since I know a colleague is using it for work purposes.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Hey. New board.
They actually don't need one - you can share a link that they can access and they can download individual files or the whole folder as a zip file - and Dropbox is free up to 2 GB. I just signed up with a test account to make sure, and as long as you choose the Free plan they don't ask for anything. By default it will install their program (which gives you a folder on your computer you can easily add things to to sync) but you can just not install it and upload manually through the website if you prefer.
Dropbox is definitely the easiest to use file backup and storage utility out there, though significantly more expensive per GB than its competitors. Worth having an account for little things though.

Dropbox has proved very handy to me, Flickr if I don't mind random people favouriting my father in the seventies.
Which I don't! I've even had Ellis Island records with family members favourited by people I don't know.

Ack! I need to replace one of the Asus RT N13U routers at home--well, one of them. I'd rather just get the same one and redo the setup, but I have no *time* to shop.
I'm gonna hit up Best Buy, but if it's not there, what's the simplest replacement? I had dd-wrted it, which could make it easier or harder. But it's a pretty simple setup (uses. I just did that for familiarity.
It functions as a repeater sitting between the modem/router and a further out router/repeater.
