Hey Chromies! This was an interesting week as we had every single first floor window replaced in our home. Yes, during the winter. We had ordered the windows back March of last year and it took this long for them to arrive. And they’re just basic replacement windows!
You may not be able to resize the Instagram Android app, but at least now you can handle the core IG scrolling and posting experience from the web, so that's resizable.
Hi, Kevin. "Over coffee," so to speak, could you take a fresh look at the whole chromebook battery issue? I would love to be "battery friendly" and keep my chromebook charged between 80 percent and 40 percent all the time -- but I find that to be a distracting challenge. Are there any devices out there that regulate chromebook charging? (The Chargie people are bringing out something, but it's not here yet. And it seems to be expensive) Are there any apps? (On my Samsung S22 phone there's a very convenient built-in program that turns off charging at 85 percent, but I haven't found anything like it for chromebooks.) I used to keep my chromebook on its charger every night so it would be 100 percent in the morning. Now I'm told that keeping it on its charger overnight is ultimately destructive to the battery. May I ask what you do with your chromebook(s) at the Tofel home? Many thanks.
