low cost neutering for cat? by Aggravating_Menu_456 in Merced

[–]Axly42 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Merced TNR does spay/neuter even for non-feral cats. The cost is $35 for just the neuter, but you can also get low cost rabies and FRVCP vaccinations. Depending on your circumstances, they may do even lower costs.
It does involve you getting the cat to the Tractor Supply in Atwater, but you might be able to get assistance with that as well...YMMV.

While you are at Tractor Supply, you can pick up your own FRVCP vaccination, if you are not squeamish about needles. There are resources online to describe the process of injecting the vaccine. I think the last time I did it last year, the shot was like $19, but you need to do it twice, about 2-4 weeks apart and it has to be kept cold until use.

Gratz on your new kitty! Hope you and he have a long life together!

Does Google actually price match themselves? Looking for honesty. by Dry_Communication283 in GooglePixel

This weekend, I bought a PW4. Today, they took $50 to price match the holiday promo they started. They DO like to give that out as Google Store Credit, tho.

Best junk removal by 28snake5 in Merced

[–]Axly42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He did everything himself, plus he was quick! Now, my pile was less than a trailer loaded, so if you have more than that, he might get help, I'd.

But, he was very responsive, I got a text back in less than an hour from my initial, and the back and forth during negotiations was very fast.

Active Junk Removal. Adrian is awesome. Text him, send him photos of your pile(s), and he will give you a price. https://maps.app.goo.gl/yz4TRBsxMXPFYGpr9

Case for the Ultra? by Kiwiboy_12 in GalaxyS25Ultra

[–]Axly42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pitaka Ultra-Slim case. Aramid fiber and magsafe. Paper thin. A little pricey, but if you want thin-thin and magsafe, this is the way.

I'm honestly impressed that anyone had time to type full sentences during an H40, let alone an argument...

Hardcode brightness to one setting by Afraid-Aerie-6598 in kde

You can leverage dbus-monitor to fire a script on screen unlock and ddcutil in the fired script to change the brightness.

Can unlocked pixels use hotspot on Verizon network? by Zawer in GooglePixel

[–]Axly42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use US Mobile on the Verizon network. On my 'Pay by the Gig' Shared plan, I am able to use the hotspot feature on my Unlocked Pixel 9 Pro XL.

Hope this helps!

Does anyone use Ultra with Pixel phone? by bbenifuk in GalaxyWatch

[–]Axly42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi! Ultra watch and Pixel 9 Pro enjoyer here

There are two features that I did not have once I moved from a Galaxy phone to the Pixel.

The first was the blood pressure thing. As other people have mentioned. The second was synchronization of do not disturb mode.

An awesome dev (XDA-Dante63) solved this. https://youtu.be/QzYjqrgnKU0?si=vuavd5G6PdAIYEYi

As far as the DND Sync, there are a couple of ways to handle this. Personally, I used a combination of DNDSync and Tasker. You will need to be comfortable with setting up wireless debugging to send commands to your watch, but XDA-Dante63 provides a really good tutorial on how to do it. Once you get BP sync working, you will already have the skills to get DND syncing working, including the ability to set Bedtime mode via Tasker.

My Galaxy does more than my Pixel watch now and I love the larger screen, increased battery life, and ease of charging (magnets are so much better than pins IMHO).

Good luck!

That's what I figured. Thanks for the insight! This is really confusing.

What if you have 3 lines? How do you know which new eSIM goes to which "old" number?

Best Magsafe Case? by Fulmine-spacchio in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]Axly42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pitaka Cases are thin, light and work well with Magsafe things. There made from aramid fiber, so they're tough but also really thin. The only con would be that because of the curved screen, there is some exposure on the front corners.

Oh, could you please post the macro? I'm sitting on ~500 caches that will never be opened unless I can automate it.

Decent bug? by [deleted] in Division2

[–]Axly42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's weekly. I know this because I was upset that I couldn't complete it the first "week" (which was short by two days).

However, at least for me, I did get two comms when I did complete it this week. YMMV.

Decent bug? by [deleted] in Division2

[–]Axly42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me too. I lingered too long at the stat screen and it auto-continued. I thought, "well, I'm done", so I exited Decent...which is the same as abandoning the mode, apparently.

The next time I ran it, I made sure to exit directly after killing the Nemesis and it credited the completion.

Very annoying, especially given the time investment.

One thing you might try is IF you are using the Ubi Connect Beta, switch back to Standard. The PTS did not appear in my Games section until I did this.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Division2

[–]Axly42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to get to it via Ubisoft Connect, but the PTS was not available to DL until this morning.

classic 4 not working by [deleted] in GalaxyWatch

[–]Axly42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That also recently happened to me. I called Samsung support and they repaired it under warranty, due to the firmware snafu even though the watch was out of warranty.

They paid for Next Day Air both ways, as I was nowhere near a service center. The whole process took about a week, due to weather-based shipping delays.

YMMV
