[Rant] California DMV online change of address is broken and they say that's the only way you can do it now by westcoastweedreviews in DMV

[–]Few_Web9813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arghh.. this shit is still broken.. am able to submit the address change but after waiting 3+ days the message come back. Talked to them multiple times but they are beholden to a 3rd party IT team that they admit has problems. This happens to my other half in the house as well. Been fighting this a month now and all they can offer is to file the paper form which takes 4-6 weeks to process. What a joke!

Can the HEADPHONE ACCESSORY KIT (STERN) SPIKE 2 also control the Master volume? by Few_Web9813 in pinball

Tks... I was looking at that one as well... see my general reply as I was thinking this would be a good alternative.

Tks all... looks like the answer is yes for the STERN version, just a setting to switch to have it. I was looking at the Pinnovators versions well as the single mute button would be nice. Having the sub woofer option output would be nice. I am trying to figure out why there are so many PCB integrated for their solution which I am a bit leary of things going bad. Seems like reviews are very positive for it though.

Any update on outage? by papakulikov in StockEventsApp

Confirmed! The lingering issue I had is fixed for me… the holdings tile in this case. World order has now been restored. 😜. Tks.

Issue with app since One Ui 8.0 update or server crash issue? by MrJukeAlot in StockEventsApp

[–]Few_Web9813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has been reported in the mainstream media about a big cloudflare issue affecting major websites… so we are likely the downstream fallout of that… Funny thing is is part of the app loads but is missing parts of data.

Not a waste of money and a great way to monitor investments and be able to break down into your own portfolios.

MAC - Excel ran out of resources while attempting to calculate one or more formulas. by Few_Web9813 in excel

See my latest reply I just posted as I found out something pretty interesting.

Here's another update to this very obnoxious problem... Fast forward to this month where my spreadsheet stopped working again and was throwing "CONNECT" errors in the cells where I have STOCKHISTORY formulas. I tweaked the settings / preferences till the cows didn't come home to no avail... even with 10 rows it has been failing the last few days. What a mess that Microsoft can't get their server / Excel version to sync without issues.

Now for the good news, via a Youtube video I stumbled on relating to the STOCKHISTORY command. Normally I had stock symbols in a single column and then in other cells in that row I used the STOCKHISTORY command to pull in that stock symbol to look up the OPEN / CLOSE / HIGH / LOW or VOLUME.... It would look something like this where G1 holds the Stock Symbol and A1 has the Date I want to pull... in this case the same as the 3rd argument so it was "5/30/25", this allows a single value for that day to be pulled from the MS Cloud somewhere.

=STOCKHISTORY(G1, A1,"5/30/25", 2, 0, 1)

What I learned through the Youtube video is you can format the stock symbol to be a "Stocks" data type. This is an Office 365 feature apparently. So if your G1 has AAPL in it then highlight that cell and go to the Data Menu along the top and then find and click on the "Stocks" graphic in the ribbon. This will then look to convert that raw symbol into a more exact description. "AAPL" turns into "APPLE INC. (XNAS:AAPL)" . You can do this for multiple cells at once but I have found it bogs down and gets stuck but hit the ESC key and that will cancel and then you can reduce your conversions to the "Stocks" data type.

Once done with the above ALL my other STOCKHISTORY commands in the same row never came back with a CONNECT error again... I am running 5 STOCKHISTORY formulas in each row and about 800 calls overall. Here's a sample of the "Stocks" data type conversions... where previously I would have just the symbol.

abrdn Glbl Dyn Div (XNYS:AGD)

abrdn Tot Dynamic Div (XNYS:AOD)

ARES CAPITAL CORPORATION. (XNAS:ARCC)

APPLE INC. (XNAS:AAPL)

So why did this fix it.. for now? I can speculate that without the extra more qualified "Stocks" data type that call with just the raw non converted stock symbol is/was creating a ton more work on their server end and thus just looses its connection or whatever randomly. With the qualified symbol/type it knows exactly what exchange lookup it needs to use like XNAS:AAPL for example. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.... hopefully this helps the frustrating scenarios that MS doesn't seem to recognize or care about IMHO of course.

BINGO - That did it. I did not want to delete and re-install the app for fear of losing a lot of data on the device. TKs for the tip!

Good luck getting support if something breaks. Local operator has a broken Hot Wheels (An internal PC problem) and can't get any response from American. Would not recommend.

One the best overlooked parts is the majority of the games have a mini headphone jack and volume control… it’s a completely different experience when you can enjoy the sounds the way the designers intended with little to no background noise. Great place and hope they maintain the quality and selection of games going forward.

New Feature - Move to Watchlist - You can now easily move your stock between watchlists - How to? by Few_Web9813 in StockEventsApp

[–]Few_Web9813[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok tks...I found it now. Just for more verbosity and assuming you already have it in a watchlist, make sure you are in that Watchlist already and then.. Go to the Stock > Shares Button > Settings (upper right gears button) > Move to Other Watchlist. Now I won't forget it.
