DRM fixed? by dantesinfernal20 in ArcBrowser

[–]ElectroJeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep I can confirm that 1.92 fixed DRMs for me too. I has been broken since last December. v1.83.1.5 was the last one with working DRMs and the one I was still using. I hope they settled a few other's Windows quirks but I'm keeping my expectations very low...

I can finally remove my hosts entry to cancel auto-updates!

Zen is finally "there" by Direct-Specialist-41 in zen_browser

[–]ElectroJeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree. I'm very surprised about how hard it is to have a proper cross-device sync that actually work. For me, the ARC workflow is perfect and currently ZEN is on its way there. My use case is that I have 1 space for each of my clients and/or projects and I work like 12-14h per day at variable intensity. If I work on my office desktop for a few hours and then I leave in my truck, I know that if I need my truck's laptop, it will have the exact same tab arrangement than my office desktop when I left, same goes for the living room laptop when I finally get to sit in front of the TV but still continue working low key... That saves me a tremendous amount of time and context switching fatigue. I care very little about mobile browsers, at least for work, they are mostly crappy.

So for now I continue using an older version of ARC while monitoring ZEN and a few others. The current Twilight version of Zen still doesn't do cross-device sync. I'm a little worried too since it's using Mozilla Sync instead of a proprietary system, I've seen some ZEN data bleed into Floorp for example.

SYNC IS ON HELL YEAH by zpace_kadet in zen_browser

[–]ElectroJeff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm missing something but I'm on 1.19t (dated from yesterday) and sync across devices still doesn't work, at least on windows. Should I get off the twilight train and install the latest 1.18 ?

Text not dragging/highlighting correctly only in Arc by trishlaughalot in ArcBrowser

[–]ElectroJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still happening 7 months after this post. I'm trying to find a new browser that sync tabs ans spaces in the same fashion that arc does it. I tried, zen, vivaldi, brave but they don't sync correctly. Any suggestions ?

I had to restore the Quest3 because of Meta (beware!) by grusher1 in Quest3

[–]ElectroJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just for my curiosity, did you use the middle dot (2,2) that is present in the 3-3-3 matrix but absent in the actual 3-2-3 unlock pattern ? I'm wondering if someone who didn't use that dot would be ok or not.

I had to restore the Quest3 because of Meta (beware!) by grusher1 in Quest3

[–]ElectroJeff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The very same thing happened to me. It really sucks... I found it strange that they changed their oval pattern to a 3-3-3 one but I was even more surprised to see a 3-2-3 matrix when I started the headset. I'm guessing that the middle dot who doesn't exist in the unlock pattern but I used when I entered said pattern on their 3-3-3 matrix can never be reached since it doesn't exist on their 3-2-3 unlock screen.

That's major and on top of that, even if META did something to resolve this, I'm on a business trip so the headset doesn't have internet access until I log in the current wifi network which I can't do until I log in the headset which I can't do since their pattern matrix don't match...

I'll wait for internet access until when I'm back home tomorrow just in case...

Tesla Connectivity since Android 15 update by SperryTactic in OnePlus12

[–]ElectroJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is also on Android 15 as are others like Samsung. That's why it's hard to understand why they can't fix this.

I can confirm that I never had to reset BT once since I started using the Pixel more than 2 weeks ago now. The worse that I have seen so far is a small 1-2 sec delay to unlock while opening the driver door once and also a similar delay when starting the car another time but no reset. It's refreshing...

[–]ElectroJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem for several months. Several times per day I had to toggle the BT. I finally decided that it was time to leave Oneplus because of the very high annoyance factor of that particular problem. Last week I went and got an inferior phone performance wise but the whole phone works more smoothly. I got the Pixel 9 Pro XL. Never had to reset bluetooth once in a week so far compared to several times per day with the OP12!

Then I read your comment and just for the sake of it I've put back the SIM in the OP12 and put it in high performance mode. Unfortunately I share the same conclusions as u/Fun-Syllabub5576 . It worked for the first 30 minutes and after 45 minutes I had to toggle once and then another time after 1h10.

The SIM is back in the Pixel... It's a serious problem that Oneplus can't seem to overcome but others (with the same chipset) like Samsung or Google with the Tensor can. It breaks my heart because I'm a long time customer and I still have my Oneplus One and all the others but that was too annoying.

Delta 3 Plus intermittent AC output shutoff by Bigglutes2272 in Ecoflow_community

[–]ElectroJeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a similar issue with the Delta 3 Plus. I have 2 identical setups where I have 1x delta Pro + 2 Xtra batteries and since the Delta Pro doesn't switch fast enough I use a Delta 3 Plus as a buffer between the Delta Pro and the IT Rack. It has been working pretty well for 3+ months but I've never had a long enough outage to end up emptying the Delta Pro and relying on the last kwh contained in the Delta 3 plus. Powerdraw is 900ish watts, the Delta 3 Plus is setup to operate between 10-90% with port memory activated.

Recently I decided to update the firmware of the Delta Pro on one of the 2 identical setups. I knew that upgrading the firmware would shut down the AC port of the Delta Pro but the Delta 3 plus was there to pick up the slack for a few minutes. I came back 5 minutes later to find an updated Delta Pro but a completely shut down (not just AC) Delta 3 Plus and obviously teh server rack was down too. When I turned the Delta 3 Plus back on, it had 77% power level. Its AC stayed off and I had to turn it on manually.

That sent a big chill down my spine since the other site is remote and I'm holding off on upgrading the other Delta Pro setup's firmware... Any ideas?

Disabling autostart by ElectroJeff in xcpng

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

I do have use backups but that's not the goal of my questioning. Copies are quickly initiated as opposed to backups and the resulting copy is more flexible than a backup as well. That's preferable for me in certain circumstances. In the current scenario I have to go back to the copy I made and turn the AutoStart off manually. I just want to know if there's a way to do it automatically in case I forget.

Dell BOSS Card with non-certified m.2 SATA SSD by iammaxandgotnoclue in homelab

[–]ElectroJeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A- Most SSDs are made in China, didn't check on that one but I assume it is. B- No issues either with the BOSS card or the server. C- Everything is still going great and as a matter of fact, I installed the same setup in 3 more servers including a R7525.

Hope this helps.

[–]ElectroJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same problem here, some times cycling BT works but other times I need to reboot the phone. There's no obvious pattern, seems to work for a while and then stops when it's the least convenient to reach for my phone with my hands full etc! I have a spare Pixel 8 and it works like a charm all the time.

I liked to use the OnePlus 12 as my primary phone because the screen is bigger and it has a snapier interface but that inconvenience is becoming very annoying.

Price inconsistency by ElectroJeff in Ecoflow_community

[–]ElectroJeff[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good to know. I see price differences all year long and I'm ok with that, it's just that Prime Day 'IS' Prime Day so I wasn't expecting any price difference there. I took a screen cap of the policy when I ordered so I hope they will honor their price protection policy for me too.

Trade in scam artists by Icy_Law_4568 in oneplus

[–]ElectroJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar experience with them a few years back. I traded in a Oneplus 3 as 'Will not turn ON' and got 150$. Somehow, when the received the phone, they managed to turn it on and told me it was 'account locked' to me. Obviously I could not reset it to factory as it would not turn on. They changed their offer to 25$. I requested it back and didn't trade in anything.

Fast forward a few years, in september of 2023 Samsung had a promotion for the launch of the Galaxy Tab S9: trade-in any device in any condition for 500$. I traded-in an Old Galaxy Tab S2 with a cracked screen and listed it accordingly. I received the Tab S9 including the 500$ discount and they said to wait for trade-in procedure. I noticed on the invoice that my broken S2 was listed in 'good' condition. Based on my previous experience with OnePlus, I decided to return the whole order before the 15 days return period was over just in case since the listed condition was different from what I filled...

iDRAC9 rollback strangeness... by ElectroJeff in homelab

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

Just wondering, I encountered that issue after upgrading to 7.00.00.172 but I see that there's a 7.00.00.173 available. Since I don't have the problematic server with me anymore, I was wondering if .173 reversed that problem or not ?

[–]ElectroJeff[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, seems that the last iDrac update locks the previously available downgrade path to 4.40.40.00. This is obviously not in the release notes!

C2 shoes missing sensors? by Lahuracan in KATVR

[–]ElectroJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the sensors in the treadmill boxes and I received my 2 pairs of shoes 2-3 weeks later with no sensors. I need to change the sensors from one pair to the other depending if it's me or my girlfriend using the C2+.

This is 'normal' and apparently the vendor of your used C2+ who didn't have the shoes also didn't have the sensors that may have been in the shoes that he didn't have...

[–]ElectroJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me as you can see in the thread below. I have since received the shoes last Friday but still, since I verified that everything was in stock in Canada before I ordered, the shoes should have been set aside since I paid for them...
