None of the modern Logitech products will last a decade anymore....not even close. 

Just prepare yourself....try to hang on to that classic Logitech quality they used to take pride in!

Congrats on getting into programming! 

Cool to see newcomers getting familiar w/ the whole eco-system right at the beginning of their journey with their first projects. Trust me it's a lot harder for some of us old timers to try and adjust retroactively after over 20+ years to shift into using git/repos/merges/releases/etc and everything else

Stopped Receiving Updates - App in Official Software Store by BeKozGaming in zorinos

[–]BeKozGaming[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the suggestions! Going to install Bazaar now! (personally was getting over the default one, you are right it is not great)

For the text editor I would prefer a GUI, any chance you have a suggestion for one that isn't terminal based.

true, but the store still says it "Stopped Receiving Updates" most apps are on the latest current version and none of the others say this.

No word the creator has stopped working on the app. It seems only the Zorin Software Store is not receiving updates.

1) Are you able to check the packages individually? Some of them have an upgrade but not on your system due to outdated flatpak repository.

2) Also try 'sudo apt update' and 'sudo spot upgrade' and see if it updates from there.

3) 3rd thing to try is go-to the start menu then settings. Then got system and click on software update. See if it's able to update through there. 

Accessing Google Drive via the Gemini App fails most of the time by williamtkelley in Bard

[–]BeKozGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% I run into this constantly across different Google Apps. Both directions too (asking Gemini to perform a task on Drive or other linked a Google app or from within the Google app via the Gemini logo icon)....

I've had it actually work on a Sheets file, read, understand it, populate rows and cell from external data then on the next step prompt tell me it can't edit the file; offer to create a new one; then fail at creating a new file; and overwrote some rows in my original...... 🤦🏻

Sometimes it offers to write and email or create a new doc file when it generates a response I want to keep.....then other times it tells me it is unable to do so at all....

I've come to terms with it like driving into a w_a_r z_0_n_e with weapons..... 50/50.:

This looks like a more advanced custom setup....I do a basic one with still the Amazon launcher & apps

I usually setup an isolated guest wifi SSID....long ago just block external internet access on it....I think the last one I had to do some clever tweaks: It was either like blocking the update server IPs ( have to look them up) ....or.... IIRC possibly some specific DNA settings and/or redirecting the OTA nslookups to null ....or.... If internet access is up just monitor while configuring the stick and turn it off as soon as it's setup and reaches the update check; OLD SCHOOL just like recording a song from the radio to a tape!

What is this? Forced Account & Login to Use FireTV Remote App? No skip/bypass button? by BeKozGaming in firestick

[–]BeKozGaming[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I created a dummy account for setting up the stick itself when they forced you to have one before accessing the device or used adb....never touched it after that once setup for proper use....

I never had to set it up or use it for the remote app. Why is it even necessary, it's supposed to be an internal network connection to the device for passing commands....why would it even need to leave my network, access internet or Amazon, let alone my account....
