  • The mic is broken on my Pixel 6 and the Pixel camera resets to use the internal mic every time it starts, where Open Camera will save the setting to use an external mic. I may have had to tweak settings initially to get good quality but it’s been fine for a long time. Black Magic would auto switch to external mic (as does Samsung, btw) but the video was absolute unusable garbage on Black Magic on the Pixel. I don’t know if they’ve fixed it yet but there was something terribly wrong with it. All of that led me to using Open Camera by default.









  • Block. If it was a close friend I might give different advice, but this is a stranger on the internet being annoying (or worse). Responding to him will only make it worse. Block and move on. Note: you (both) might still think about it later and you might feel a pang of guilt, or shame, or worry, or whatever. You shouldn’t, because you’re doing nothing wrong, but that’s fine if you do. It happens to everyone. You’ll think about it less and less over time.

    Also, I would give the same advice to someone who isn’t a minor, and you’re right to question his actions. He shouldn’t be asking/nagging for free work. No means no and is absolutely the right answer.

    If he knows your girlfriend is a minor, that just moves this to another level and she shouldn’t even hesitate to block him. If he gets around the block report him right away.










  • I mean if you had a full data set of known allergies and millions of DNA of people that have and don’t have allergies, you may find a genetic correlation of people susceptible. But there’s too many environmental factors that would alter that anyway.

    Wasn’t there a huge announcement this year about exposure to allergens at a (very) young age preventing allergies? That would suggest genetics is a very small part of it and environmental factors being much more important.

    However, checking hair samples doesn’t necessarily mean checking DNA. They could be checking for certain markers like antibodies your body produces. Still sounds like bunk science or it would be much bigger though.
