It's a tiny Ariocarpus - the big ones are insanely expensive, but this one is pretty too, and if it likes it's new home it should grow big and strong around the time I retire :)
Really cute, and they were really cheap to boot! Here's the other one:

Thanks, here's hoping! I love it as a phone, but I suspect it might be another app showing the icon - there should be no way for a disabled app to do so...
Anyway, I'll keep casually digging, maybe start disabling apps one by one to see which one is the culprit or something :)

Factory reset is out of the question - I spent way too much time installing and setting everything up after changing phones to nuke it all (because Google sucks and doesn't allow backing all the settings and such without root, but that's a rant for another day).
I did reboot the phone, yes, multiple times - after turning calendar notifications off, disabling the app and so on. No dice, the icon keeps coming back. Oh well, guess I'll have to get used to it - it's a distracting eyesore, but the phone is working fine. Maybe it fixes itself after the update to Android 15...
Thanks a bunch for all the suggestions and willingness to help - appreciate it!

That didn't work unfortunately - my Google calendar is actually completely empty, no tasks, notifications or anything. Cleared app data, even tried force stopping and disabling the app completely (can't fully uninstall it, since it's system), but the darn icon is still there. Maybe I just need to learn to live with it, even though it annoys me...

That's a great find, thanks! The problem is, I don't actually have any tasks scheduled right now, and the icon never disappears. Disabling calendar notifications completely doesn't hide it either, I even tried disabling the calendar app completely, and still nothing...
I switched phones recently, and am very satisfied with my Xperia, but there's this one useless icon in the taskbar that annoys me a bit and that is like to hide, but I can't identify it, could someone help? I tried SystemUI tuner, but it doesn't list it as one you can blacklist in the list of toggles, and I don't know how to find it's key to add it as a custom one. Tried turning off calendar notifications, but that's not it - it still shows. Does anyone know what it is and how to hide it? It's a minor annoyance to be sure, but it's completely useless, and I'd like it gone if possible. Thanks in advance for any help!

A step in the right direction, but not nearly good enough. They should be paid for all the time they are required to follow instructions by their employer - basically from the second they leave the locker room in their uniform, right until they dress back into their private clothes after finishing work.
That's how it worked when I was working in automotive industry way back when (the clock in/clock out terminal was right next to the locker room door), and that's how it should work for flight attendants, pilots and everyone else too. Everything else is labor theft IMHO.

I made a live wallpaper using an Android app called Magic Fluids (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.magicfluids) that is fully black, but creates a flame effect every time I tap the screen or slide my finger across it. Yeah, edgy and tacky AF, but it really is a pretty cool effect and I've been using it for years, so whatever.

Amen to that. I'm not a busy CEO of four companies, I don't need or want an assistant, digital or otherwise. I want to read through articles and watch videos, I can scroll/fast-forward through myself if I feel like it. And while we're at it, I don't really need or want personalized anything - just give me ALL the search results and I'll sort through them myself. Luddite? Maybe, but I literally cannot think of a case where this would be useful or helpful to me...

So he basically banned education and sex from sex ed classes, got it. Next step - banning Arabic (gasp!) numerals from math classes and prohibition of mentioning any other countries apart from USA and Israel during geography lessons?

I main Nourish Kullervo and love him - it's not min-maxed, but he doesn't need to be, since I basically one hit everything in the game :)
The one on the left, with beautiful curved spines, is Gymnocalycium saglionis, and the other one, with white hair around spines is Pyrrhocactus floccosus, a pretty rare one (at least in Japan). Hope they like their new home! [](https://postimg.cc/4Ksq0gk0) [](https://postimg.cc/rD6vS4hM)

A big reason I replaced my old S10+ with a battery that wouldn't even hold half a day with Xperia 1 VI is that it has both the headphone jack AND an SD card slot. Might be the only flagship left that has both...

That one is Mammillaria hathiana, also known as Old lady cactus :)

It does, doesn't it? Too bad it's just going to look like two cacti next to each other after planting, but oh well...

Wonder what the excuse for not hitting 60FPS in all or even most) games will be this time... I mean, I still play a lot and I do like my PS5, but it's way beyond ridiculous at this point.

My suggestion would be to watch a new account/F2P playthrough on YouTube and learn from that - I know Brozime did one fairly recently. Iflynn had a pretty great beginner guide too, but it's slightly older, 2022 I think?
The answer is basically mods though - you need to learn how to mod both frames and weapons, and it can take a while (and can seem super complicated and daunting at first). The free to play playthroughs are a great starting point, since they show it step by step, without spending real money or platinum.

They used to have invite threads on Reddit - that's how I got mine when the API changes were announced. I think it was in Reddit alternatives subreddit? Not sure, haven't been back since. If there's still a thread (and if the subreddit even exists still), asking there might work.

Thanks! And yeah, we sure do - hope this one stays healthy, being different species and all - fingers crossed!

I posted about my grafted bois before [here](https://sh.itjust.works/post/21199811) (I wish there was a way to share instance-agnostic links, maybe some day...), but I have an update - one of them decided recently that having another cactus forcibly implanted on top of it is not nearly enough, and he started sprouting all over the place! What a little overachiever, eh?
The first pic is unedited, and here's the version I played with a bit, what do you think, is it too much? [](https://postimg.cc/NKGBLnW9) Here's a few more, should be clear by looking at them, but unedited version first, edited one after: 1: [](https://postimg.cc/K1QcNbnD) [](https://postimg.cc/TKkGb96k) 2: [](https://postimg.cc/B8VqrC78) [](https://postimg.cc/2qMDcS3h) 3: [](https://postimg.cc/KKzGpWfS) [](https://postimg.cc/jWLT47qR) I think I might have gone overboard with the Aztekiums (first pic), but other ones look kinda nice to me. Still a lot to learn though, one day I might be able to show how pretty these are in real life!
The one with dark, shiny leaves is Alocasia Cuprea, and the one with pretty stems is Alocasia Zebrina. I do hope they like their new home - had a bit of mixed luck with Alocasias in the past... [](https://postimg.cc/067ZtnnK) [](https://postimg.cc/bG0H0JYQ)
New flowers keep opening almost every hour - glad at least these bois seem to be loving the scorching Tokyo weather, because I sure as hell am not :) Aaaaaanyway, here's more: [](https://postimg.cc/Xp7BMph0) [](https://postimg.cc/XXWy82kq) [](https://postimg.cc/c6ct5QFm)

When the weather allows it, I keep most of my plants outside, so the main picture is a view that shows my balcony from the far end, just to better display the extent of my wife's and mine craziness. Here are some closeups of different racks and sections - I will properly organize it one day, I'm almost certain of it ;) You can click the embeds for full-res photos.

It was very hot, very crowded and yet still worth it - finally got not just one, but both known species of Aztekium without going bankrupt - I wanted one for a long while, but they tend to be stupid expensive in Japan. Love the two cute jellybeans too - Conophytum burgeri. Hell, love all of them, that's why I bought too many yet again :) Here are a few closeup shots: [](https://postimg.cc/mzRYSqhs) [](https://postimg.cc/N5yHRYbX) [](https://postimg.cc/JD1XXkd7)

It used to look, well, black, but now I'm seeing this, which is a bit hard to read... Did the theme change recently? I'd love to goback to my white-on-black look if possible...
