or got a very good deal on TEMU?

Thank you so much for all your hard work on Summit! I know you're probably already juggling a ton of feature requests, but I was wondering if it would be possible to add an option to organize downloads into folders based on their source—something like //.

Sync used to have this, and it made my (admittedly excessive) image and meme collections so much more organized, even if I rarely look at them again. Definitely not a big deal, just a nice-to-have. Thanks again for everything you do!

Subtitles are not always simple text files in the source. They can come in various formats like SRT, WebVTT, Teletext, and VobSub—if they are present at all.

To integrate them into WebM, you must first determine if they exist, ensure they have the correct language tags (and tag them properly if they don’t), then extract them, convert them into a format compatible with the player, and finally remux them alongside the video and audio. This process can easily fail in an automated workflow if any of these conditions are unmet or if the subtitle format is incompatible.

Given this complexity, it’s understandable why many choose to avoid the effort rather than addressing whether WebM supports subtitles.

I am not defending anyone, but the process of it all makes it understandable, at least for me.

It's always been there in the add-on, why they removed it as a base feature beats me, but I feel they are going down the "Google route", remove all that works and replace it with what you never asked for.

Google used to hold a lot of nice services and features, including Chromecast. Why kill something that worked so well for so many people?

Take a look at https://killedbygoogle.com/ if you have some spare time.

What the user wants does not matter anymore, seems to be a default all over these days.. 🙄

If you download Good Lock (https://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.samsung.android.goodlock), you can still modify this through the Home Up add-on, along with many other tweaks and settings. I've almost managed to restore it to how it was before One UI 7 using these tools.

While what Samsung did isn't ideal, at least there's a solution for some of the changes at least.

It's a great tool by Samsung, but not promoted as much as it should 🙂

It could definitely be stress-related, especially if you had a particularly bad night of sleep before this started.

When you don’t sleep well, your body can reset its cortisol production cycle. Cortisol—the hormone tied to stress and alertness—typically starts rising in the early hours of the morning, around 3–4 a.m., as part of a normal circadian rhythm.

But if you're under even mild or subconscious stress, that spike can happen earlier or be stronger than usual, causing you to wake up prematurely and feel too alert to fall back asleep.

It's like your body's stuck in a "high alert" mode even if nothing obvious is triggering it.

Could be the birds that have already been mentioned as well, I am no expert, nor medical trained, but this reason is more common than you might think when waking up early. It's the same reason you might find yourself waking before the alarm when you really need to be on time, like before going on vacation and you cannot miss your flight.

Here is a link to one of many in regards to sleep and cortisol

I know this doesn’t directly solve your issue, and it might not help much now, but I wanted to share my experience just in case it’s useful.

When I had a similar problem after switching phones, what ended up helping was that I had 2FA enabled beforehand. In that case, after selecting the option to recover my account suddenly allowed me to receive a verification code via SMS—something that didn’t appear on the usual login screen, it was greyed out before selecting this option.

It probably won’t work if 2FA is disabled, but maybe it’s still worth checking if any recovery options that shows up helps. There might be a choice there that helps you resolve your problem as well.

In any case, good luck—I hope you’re able to get it sorted soon!

Thank you for the update—and for all the care and effort you've put into building such a fantastic app. It really shows, and it's deeply appreciated. Looking forward to what’s ahead!

My grandad, who was a farmer, used to say that the sellers of Roundup (the weed killer from roundup.com) would drink it during sales pitches to prove it wasn’t toxic to humans. So it wasn’t just farmers making questionable decisions—some of the misinformation came from the sellers themselves.

These days, it's labeled as unsafe to use without gloves, and the high-concentration version sold to farmers isn't even available to the general public anymore, at least where I live.

It just gives some context on why certain practices exist—bad or misleading information played a big role in shaping them and it is or was not always just the farmers alone.

I know that's not how it technically works, but nowadays a lot of companies introduce smaller bottles at the same price as before, claiming they're reducing plastic use by X%. What they don’t mention is that you’re still paying the same price for less product. So while a bigger container might be more efficient in terms of packaging-to-volume ratio, that logic often gets tossed out when marketing wants to spin "less for the same" as an eco-friendly move.

Were you using Windows XP Home, by any chance?

That tool was only included with Windows XP Professional, and even then, it was a command-line utility—so unless you were specifically looking for it or browsing through the %windir%\system32 directory, you probably wouldn’t have noticed it.

The article I referenced didn’t specify exactly which 32-bit versions it came with or when it was removed—it just mentioned that it was still included in 32-bit Windows after the DOS era. I didn’t write the article myself, so I can’t really speak to its accuracy.

Personally, I used that edline a lot back in the DOS days starting around 1985, until I switched to Notepad in Windows 95 and later to VIM when I moved to Linux after Windows 98. I never really checked for it in newer versions of Windows after that. A quick Google search confirmed it wasn’t included in XP Home, which would explain why you never saw it.
