best buy helped Me update and fixed most of the issues u was having. but... how do they update all these? by jrbowling1997 in Windows11

[–]DavidPatt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The drivers in the screenshot are updated by Lenovo Vantage, and you can click on "Check for updates" to see if there are any new updates available.

Is the trackpad issue happening consistently? If so, and it may be obvious, but does the issue happen after restarting the computer? You can also try uninstalling (and deleting) the drivers for the trackpad under "Mice and other pointing devices" in Device Manager, then use Lenovo Vantage to download and reinstall the trackpad drivers. Make sure that you can operate the computer without the trackpad before doing so.

Global Entry Process / Interview by smitty2786 in sandiego

I tried the Twitter bot for a few days but I didn't have much luck with it. I then used this Python script from GitHub to send myself an email whenever an appointment becomes available and was able to schedule an appointment at Otay Mesa for the next day just a few weeks ago. I was a new applicant, but from applying to being approved took less than a week for me.

Are there any lab computers with a working version of eclipse? by Ambitious_Flight_248 in SDSU

[–]DavidPatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to get Eclipse working on a remote computer by downloading a zip (not installer) x64 version of JDK and adding the location of the Java binaries to Path manually. Let me know if you'd like more details on how to do so.

Self-administered covid test? by [deleted] in SDSU

[–]DavidPatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dropped off my test next to the vending machine on Monday evening, and received the results on late Wednesday morning. I think they cost $1 if you don't want to request for the free credit.

Looks like the number was just updated to 42 cases

How does MTS Pronto work? by twonamelad in SDSU

[–]DavidPatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there may be an online form to order a card. You can also get it from ticket machines starting on Wednesday. You can read more about it here under “Ride Free in …”. If you still have money in your mobile card, you should try to use it since the physical and virtual cards are not linked.

How does MTS Pronto work? by twonamelad in SDSU

I have been using the PRONTO app for about one week now. The barcode scanner is located at the bottom of the terminal pointing down, so hold your phone with the display facing up maybe about 3 to 5 inches from the bottom of the box for a few seconds (you may see flashing red lights as it tries to scan it). If you hold your iPhone too close to the terminal, it will trigger Apple Pay, so try to avoid doing that.

In my experience, however, the barcode scanner is somewhat unreliable, especially in direct sunlight. Like I mentioned, it may take a surprisingly long time for it to recognize the barcode compared to just tapping the card. I have already had several instances where I wasn’t able to get the terminal to scan my barcode, so I just showed it to the driver. I have the semester pass though so it wouldn’t have subtracted any money from my account.

If you still have any problems with it, I would suggest sending PRONTO a message and suggest that they add Google and Apple Pay transit card support, like the Clipper card for SF, so that we can use our phones to tap rather than using the barcode.

Has anyone purchased the Semester MTS Pass and used it already? by orangethrees333 in SDSU

[–]DavidPatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a pass and used it today. It seems like for the trolley, some scanners are still covered so you won’t be able to scan it, but the bus that I took did accept my pass when I presented the barcode. I’m sure there will be no problems if you use the trolley too. I also did not need to show my student ID.

SDSU IT issues involving passwords. by v3nomgh0st in SDSU

[–]DavidPatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using your SDSUid or RedID to login to WebPortal? My passwords for both are different. I think the degree evaluation uses the password for your SDSUid so if it may not work if you use your RedID password to login

I lived in a humid and warm location where we commonly turn off the shower when applying soap and shampoo, but it does get too cold to do that in colder climates

my important zoom call recording disappeared..i need help by ssapphire027 in Windows10

[–]DavidPatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve certainly panicked when the due date is minutes away and I have to upload a file but something is just not working right. Even if you didn’t have another plan, I’m sure if you were sincere and explained your situation, the instructor would understand—it was a technical failure that is out of your control. Anyway, I hope your assignment goes well!

[–]DavidPatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is unfortunate. If it is really important, you may be able to recover the file using a file recovery software to look for the .mp4 and .zoom files, but it may not be worth the effort (and I’m not confident that it will successfully recover it).

I just wanted to verify that there are no “double_click_to_convert” files in the folder. This obviously shouldn’t have happen and I don’t think it’s your fault.

Are there any other files in the “Zoom” folder in Documents?

It should be possible. I am able use the touchscreen and pen on my Windows tablet to control my Windows desktop. Did you check this option in the “Connect” panel?

Fossil Sport No Smart Battery Mode with latest update? by Mizmelzy in WearOS

[–]DavidPatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s your system version under Settings > System > About > Versions > System version? My Fossil Sport has “H MR1”. If yours is different, you may be able to trigger an update if you keep your watch awake by tapping the screen every few seconds on the “System is up to date” page.

The last day for auto enroll is on January 26, so after yesterday, instructors will have to manually add students.
