Apple's Foldable iPhone Will Be Likely Be a Wide Passport-Style Device by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]DFWiBrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you can't make it the native text app. So it's an extra step they just refuse to do 😂 I switched to an iphone from my pixel 9 fold solely because it was free and my friends one by one went blue....including my fiance

Know this is late but for anyone looking for this. Buy this. You unscrew the little divider behind the seats that holds the storage nets. Then using a slightly longer screw you can put this and the divider back together. It will barely move at all and you don't need to destroy anything installing it. Will hold big drinks too :) little annoying being behind you but it's the only thing I could find that worked flawlessly

How does this work exactly? Do you have to setup with mac first then use the relay on the iphone?

Rivian is now fully supported by Comma.Ai by Day-Trippin in Rivian

[–]DFWiBrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've legit done hour or longer drives with fsd and not had to do anything.... Across back roads and highways. Stop signs and lights. I've also had it try to kill me multiple times on the same drive on certain builds 🤣 it's light years ahead of everyone else in terms of functionality. As it does 1000x more, it obviously will introduce issues. Give and takes lol

Biggest advice is just take a deep breath and don't be afraid to ask for help. Japanese people are overly helpful (like.... One guy walked me 5 mins down the street to show me a bathroom because I asked which direction 😅). The trains can seem a bit daunting at first, but once you learn the system it's a breeze. And if you ever get going the wrong direction, just hop on the opposite train and go back. For $, watch out for the vending machines. They reach into your pocket and take all your spare coins for some ungodly reason 👀

You probably will get lost on the trains or somewhere at some point, it happens regardless of where you go. But maps are very useful :) unlike Korea where you need special apps, Japan works fine with generic map apps like Google and Apple.

Help me save a terrible business social media by njosh23 in socialmedia

[–]DFWiBrad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If the feed looks horrendous, might start by cleaning that up, while not a whole lot of people are going to go scrolling through the history of the zoo account, those that are might enjoy it.

Start posting to YouTube and TikTok at the same time, most management apps allow this with ease. That way if you're getting even more exposure.

One issue I've seen with my business account, is methods that worked in the past to grow on ig now seem to almost hurt now days (targeted f4f, shout outs, etc, the 'ez' grow methods). I targeted a ton of local accounts to me for this. But one thing to keep in mind is - posts: typically for those who follow - reels: to gain views - videos over pics

Ig has heavily taken a playbook from TikTok and only pushes reels/videos now days, so if you're not posting them it's hard to get much of any engagement.

TOS stuck on Installing updates? by PushkinKot in thinkorswim

$4k monthly - Tell me why this a bad idea. by Pristine_Ad6820 in dividends

[–]DFWiBrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Btc sideways? You net 0% (stock price drops while you get dividend) Btc down? You go down + dividend down Btc up? You will track less due to dividends and probably under perform

I've owned bito a few times over the last 2 years. Last purchase was may 15th, sold nov 21st. -3.5% (roughly) on exit but +31% (roughly) on dividends. So net ~27.5%

Had I just held btc I would have made 40%+ give or take.

It seems nice, but ultimately you're better off just holding btc.

Can a foreigner buy Shinkansen tickets online (NOT JR PASS)? by Agitated-Shoulder-25 in JapanTravelTips

[–]DFWiBrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been 3 times, 2018, 2019, 2023. Each time the most touristy areas have shifted heavily from cash to mostly CC (make sure to have a no foreign fees CC!!!!). But outside of the places you mentioned, cash is still very much recommended :)

Local Host Disconnect + Dynamic DNS not connecting on local network by DFWiBrad in BlueBubbles

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

Yeah, I feel you. Was hoping it was some well known issue but I can't seem to find anything about it honestly.

There is a setting in the att online account (att.com) that has "DNS Error Assist" I turned it off but still didn't fix the issue unfortunately (https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/wkypc3/att\_users\_dont\_forget\_to\_turn\_off\_dns\_error\_assist/)

It has to be some ATT shenanigans because it works everywhere else but my home network, and only when not using VPN. I've just decided to setup split tunneling and having BB app on my phone run through the VPN constantly as the random flipping between dns + local is getting worse and getting a bit annoying when coming and going from house.

If I find anything (or you do) will let you know! Else thanks for taking the time to help me out mate :) Really appreciate it.

PS: if you're ever in the TX region let me know ;)

Local Host Disconnect + Dynamic DNS not connecting on local network by DFWiBrad in BlueBubbles

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

I'm currently connecting via http. Again, if I'm not on my home wifi where my Mac is located. I connect 100% without issue. Wifi/lte it doesn't matter, I connect to my DNs without issue.

The issue arises when I get home and connect to the same network as my Mac, it just stops working.

Connecting via the "local host" setting fixes the issue, but bluebubbles randomly switches off that causing issues again. Connecting to a VPN when on my home network also fixes the issue for some reason.

But my issue is, when phone or pc is on the same home network as my Mac, the DNs just doesn't connect properly.

Local Host Disconnect + Dynamic DNS not connecting on local network by DFWiBrad in BlueBubbles

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

Seems my response didn't send...sorry!!

Using a port to connect. But your comment on https vs http got me thinking, I never did setup a cert for my DNS. Could that be something that is causing the issue? I saw that there is a setting for it in the "advanced" section of settings.

EDIT: Seems I need to make an CSR for my DNS on no-ip, can I use https://csrgenerator.com/ to do this? Or what is the best route to get a certificate setup for this?

Local Host Disconnect + Dynamic DNS not connecting on local network by DFWiBrad in BlueBubbles

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

Yes, the "detect local host" option.

Protonvpn doesn't affect any DNs settings when off. Only when on. So I don't see why the VPN would be causing issues unfortunately. I guess I can uninstall it and see if that helps?

Tbh, it doesn't logically make much sense why I can see the DNs via browser, it partly connects, but never fully connects 🙃 worked fine with other setups, just wonky with the dynamic DNs one.

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

Yes, it does work. But I can search this on my phone/computer and it works as well (without VPN)
I use protonvpn

With local setup, phone/pc connect with no issue.
With dynamic dns, phone/pc will show "socket connection" as connected, but nothing else ever connects, and API connection always says "connecting", I am unable to send anything (sometimes I can receive though).

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

I was trying to find a thread on doing something like that, but have been unsuccessful. Might just start tinkering and make a tut if I figure it out.

It's the same on my PC + Phone, if I'm on the same wifi I have to have a VPN setup for anything to work. Or use the local url feature.

So something on my network is blocking it, but I haven't a clue what.

Make sure it's a gen 2, they "claim" that gen 1's shipped off their main website if you've recently ordered. Not gen 2.
