Google Drive is not telling it secretly moves files to the trash
Posted by jpluimers on 2021/04/12
A while ago, Google Drive told me it was out of storage.
I tried re-syncing, and then it suddenly told me a “Drive storage is full” message indicating “You have 3GB in your trash at drive.google.com. Empty your trash or upgrade your storage”.
You can view your trash at drive.google.com/drive/trash
Emptying is more tricky than you’d think:
- Click on the “Trash word” (not the trash icon!)
- Click om “Empty trash”
- Conform the action
- wait a few seconds, as often the trash will fill itself up again
- if it refilled: repeat from step 2.
- refresh your browser screen, as often then the trash will refill
- if it refilled: repeat from step 2.
The trash contained thousands of temporary PDF files: 3.2 GB, even more than Google Drive indicated.
These are not something I want to keep in the trash. Too bad Google Drive never warned me they were kept there.
On a different account that had way more file changes this saved more than 27 GB.

Is there a way to increase the rate at which Gmail fetches mail from another account? – Web Applications Stack Exchange
Posted by jpluimers on 2021/02/05
[WayBack] Is there a way to increase the rate at which Gmail fetches mail from another account? – Web Applications Stack Exchange got a nice follow-up on Twitter:
- [WayBack] Roderick Gadellaa on Twitter: “I think I just found a way around Gmails slow(ish) pop3 fetch problem: just make sure you *also* forward your email to Gmail. That wat you (almost) instanly receive your mail in Gmail *and* it gets deleted once Gmail does fetch it. Context: superuser.com question”
- [WayBack] Roderick Gadellaa on Twitter: “I did a quick test and so far this
This is way better than suggestions from the past: increase the frequency in which email arrives at the POP3 account.

Limiting Google Research to multiple web-sites using the OR and site: operators
Posted by jpluimers on 2021/01/22
I knew Google Search had a site: operator and I thought you could or them together using something like this:
To my surprise that returned zero results as in empty result list.
Indeed: the OR needs to be in uppercase to work:
you can use the
ORoperator to add another site to your query:reboot site:superuser.com OR site:android.stackexchange.com

Google Chrome URL chrome://devices/ -> your registered Google Cloud devices like printers
Posted by jpluimers on 2021/01/18
Just learned a new Google Chrome URL chrome://devices/ which lists your Google Cloud devices like printers.
Though in the case of OKI printers, you have to enter your printers at the printer which the Menu button is a painful exercise. [WayBack] oki-c332dn-control-panel_maxwidth.jpg (525×550).
You can also view the device list in https://www.google.com/cloudprint#printers
For some OKI printers (including the MC342 series) you need to update the firmware. For a Mac, you need the below firmware update tool that automagically:
- detects the printers
- finds the firmware on the internet
- updates the printer
Tool: [WayBack] FWUP_020000_10.7.dmg via [WayBack] Firmware Update | OKI Global

Using both Google Fi and Google Voice means you need to use two Google accounts on the same phone
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/13
A while ago at [WayBack] The only bad thing about getting Google Fi is giving up Google Voice — Mike Elgan wrote
You can use Google Voice or you can use Google Fi, but you can’t use both. I just bought a Google Pixel 3 in order to move off AT&T and onto Google Fi fulltime. (We used to use Google Fi using my wife’s account, but only as a WiFi hotspot while traveling abroad.) It’s kind of a bummer, b
But the first comment has a solution that works, if you use two Google accounts that is:
I have Fi and use Google Voice on the same phone. I have to sign in to Voice with a separate Google account so there are some compromises but it works for how I use it.

Chrome not asking to save or saving passwords? – Google Product Forums

From [Archive.is] Chrome not asking to save or saving passwords? – Google Product Forums
Hemanth M said:
After a lot of playing around, I’ve arrived at an elegant solution. Here are the steps:Steps to make Google Chrome offer to save (prompt) password for a particular site (for e.g abcd.com) and Auto-login the site with the credentials thus saved.
- Go to the given URL ‘abcd.com‘
- Right-click Page Info and disable ‘JavaScript’
- Reload the page.
- Enter the credentials (uid,pwd)
- A prompt appears to save password.
- Click on Save password.
- Auto-Login Extension bubble appears on this page.
At this point it is important because the extension ‘Auto-Login’ (like many other extensions) require JavaScript to be enabled.
- Re-enable the JavaScript for this page and reload the page.
- Now Click on the ‘Auto-Login’ bubble for remembering automatically logging into the site hereafter!
In my case, this was for ESXi credentials. Do not go the cheap way or revealing them inside javascript like these guys:
- [WayBack] javascript – ESXi web client auto-fill credentials – Stack Overflow
- [WayBack] Quick Tip – Pre-filled credentials in the vSphere 6.0 Web Client
