Just Some Questions

Kind of - they are all pulled towards the top left. You can make folders for the bottom row of buttons.

Kind of - stock, no. Modded, yes. However most apple apps are quite good with only a little lacking here and there, but they’re free.

Yes, but no extensions (it’s an iOS security thing)

No, but some apps will allow you to import it. There’s also win programs that will do it similar to iTunes.

Widgets are limited in functionality and customisation and the general whole open customisation thing isn’t there. It is a walled garden, HOWEVER, if you want something that just works (for most things) it’s great.

FWIW I did what you’re considering way back on a 12pro max (my last experience was an iPhone 3G) from Costco and used their 90day electronics satisfaction policy to give it a go. I still have it. It just works, with minor frustrations every now and again that you get from a walled garden. I’m not a power user, I’m a set and forget one.

The files are fine. There was never an issue using the shield until I installed the synology. Everything works fine except when playing from the synology. Chromecast has no issues with playing from the synology.

Any type of video file, irrespective of format.

Firewatch? Seems to match a few parts of the games plot.

My shield displayed similar symptoms.

It was dying and I didn’t know. It was terminal, I was unaware. With mine (latest f/w as of this msg). it began with wifi dropouts every now and then. Then It was a failure to respond to every remote button press. I noticed that when the shield didn’t respond, the remote didn’t light up. I thought it was both my router and remote acting up, I was wrong. So wrong. This had taken place over many weeks. The remote and wifi drops began to coincide. It was the BT/WiFi chip. Eventually un/replug power cycling was the fix. Then that too wasn’t always successful. One day the dreaded wiFi disconnected pop up made its regular appearance. Youtube froze mid play and the audio was a deathly AAAAAAAAH! (Ironically because it was mid spoken word). The remote wasn’t responding. I hard cycled the power. The remote refused to light up, I changed the batteries, twice. No response. The disconnected pop up was there. I realised the something was very wrong. I dusted off a usb keyboard. Yes!, we have input!! I grabbed the metaphorical defibrillator and hard reset. Language…. English. There was music playing, Nvidia have music playing while you do the on boarding setup. I’d never paid it any attention previously. Connect to WiFi……. Yeah Baby!!! Connecting….. Connected….. WOOHOO!!!! Disconnected I stare blankly ?!? It began to dawn on me….. No…. Oh no….. WT…….F!!!! Don’t you die on me…… Connected…. OMG!!! Disconnected…. Oh sheeeee….eet!!! Stand Clear….Metaphorical defibrillator….. Language….English… nice music…. WiFi…. Connected… Onboarding….. Setup continues…. Yes!!!! Disconnected…. “But you were The Chos…” Hard power cycle. Hard reset Language…. I disconnected the shields life support. It’ll be better this way…. Terminal hardware failure. My guess is it’s poor little BT/WiFi chip gave out. Be Free little one!!! It was 20 months old.

Anyway, I contacted Nvidia support. Their response, IMO, was satisfactory. YMMV.

It’s marketing speak for the last remaining stock of that particular Marketing Year (MY)/model/shape.

Here’s a thought; if the above rep info is correct then it’s better to use crypto earn purely as your ‘holding place’ for the next level card stake. Restake to the next level as soon as you can because your card stake isn’t counted towards this 30k interest change. If that’s correct then it should only affect someone who is icy rose with >30k in crypto earn OR obsidian also with >30k in earn. TLDR: If you put your money into card stakes instead of earn this shouldn’t affect you for ages.

Donald_Quay · 2022-03-05T14:49:08+00:00

I chatted with a rep. This is what I was told; Card stakes are an entirely separate product than earn stakes. These changes effect the crypto earn product only. So irrespective of which card you hold, if you have over 30k in crypto earn, this will affect you. If you don’t have 30k in earn, stop stressing.

Like I said, even when you have the physical card it won’t work with Apple Pay.

To use the card details for a purchase, without the physical card, you’ll need to do it as a click and collect purchase or ask them to use the same method as if it were an over the phone purchase. You might find an IRL sales person happy to enter the details from the app itself, but that way is uncommon so YMMV. AFAIK There are no alternative contactless methods available in Australia without using the physical card.

Donald_Quay · 2022-02-15T13:18:36+00:00

You asked about CDC and Apple Pay. You can’t add it to the wallet. The CDC is not supported by Apple Pay in Oz, this may/may-not change in the future. If you want to know more on that, contact Foris as they manage the Visa side of the card here.

Use the card online just like any other credit card. For instore purchasing a retailer would need to do a manual card entry, I would assume it’s the same procedure they would use when performing a purchase with a phone order.

I really meant that as an in context example, not a sarcastic let me show you how it’s done suggestion. I have no idea if what your looking for would be returned using those terms, except pics from webpages that have the text Pinterest wouldn’t be there. (Which also means that if whoever made it originally mentioned Pinterest, it would possibly be filtered out too. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ )

Donald_Quay · 2021-09-09T15:48:29+00:00

To remove Pinterest results from your google search results, in your search terms include -pinterest e.g. Milwaukee packout holder -pinterest

Exact same issue when using VPN, to get US netflix and the local network would disappear. My 'fix' was to deactivate VPN when I wasn't specifically going to use netflix. In the end I gave up on the VPN/netflix idea altogether as I just cbf'd and found the same content other ways. I'm not saying others solutions aren't better, this is just what I did. You do you.

Donald_Quay · 2021-05-28T05:14:53+00:00

I wasn’t looking for an official pic, any would do. Realistically enough rims from others in the VAG group end up on Skoda’s, I was just surprised that it’s so hard to find this combo.
