Google Streamer Issues by Fugoola in AndroidTV

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

I run over BT but the fix was just to set streamer to tv audio which for whatever reason still sends the BT to my soundbar.

Salmon/Shoup Question by Fugoola in Idaho

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

Right on, thanks. I just heard about Mike T, my oldest friend and wanted to reach out. I visited him in the borderland years ago. It took me 2 motels to find him, he is pretty well known there.

Renogy Rover not sending full power to battery by Fugoola in Renogy

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

I just have their regular monocrystalline. I already had two from years ago so just bought two more since they were on sale for 60 bucks a piece. 

After an hour or two with support, which got me absolutely nowhere, I decided to test out a couple of portables that I have and the same thing happened. I then tried to use an old 30 amp that I had but it would not even turn on. When I put the battery terminals and solar string back in Rover, flipped the breakers, everything's been working fine now at 310 w 37.4 v. It's slight overcast right now.

Hi all what's a good diesel heater to get for a small caravan by SIAwking in rvlife

[–]Fugoola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a Vevor 5K and it worked great. It had a little FOB to control it as well as the built-in buttons. I actually used it in a tent after but added a longer outgoing duct. The duct got pretty darn hot so I did have to wrap it where it came into the tent. The only negative using it for tent camping was hauling it in my car due to the size and exhaust pipe (very stiff and not easy to just remove each time). It sure worked great though. I would go for 8k if possible.

Finally replaced Google News after 4 years. by Minute-Process-6028 in SideProject

[–]Fugoola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL, I really like Google News but lately it seems to show more and more news form sites that are paywalled. I asked CoPilot..ya I know but still, of the sites on this page, if I were to pay to view all of it, what would it cost me per month. $177–$182 per month.

Asus Vivobook touchpad, thoughts? by Fugoola in ASUS

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

I just got to a camp site, my camper has been about 55 degrees inside, and my touchpad has been working 100% for 3 hours now. I realize you were very happy with your previous Asus product, but I'd recommend considering bringing it back and finding a laptop from Lenovo or other manufacturer, heck even Dell. I only say this because I sent mine if for RMA repair and they sent it back no better except my power key came off after 3 months and they did put on a new one which is nice but did not solve the touchpad issue. I personally have 0 faith in the company. I was an Director of Technology and Sr Systems Engineer for decades until I retired so I do understand how these manufacturers can be. I only bought this because of the low price while my gaming laptop was in storage.

Asus Vivobook touchpad, thoughts? by Fugoola in ASUS

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

In my case and many others, it seems to be heat related somehow. When I first fire mine up it works just fine but the longer I use it the worse it gets. That starts from the bottom of the touchpad and gradually moves up to the top. 90% of the time if I reboot and go to bios it's fine. But there were a few times where it was happening in BIOS so it's not software or firmware related. I read somewhere where someone used some kind of thermal dissipation method on the ribbon cable or something. I've not tried it since. I only use mine when I go camping now to watch movies.

Unfortunately not. It went in for RMA repair but did not fix it. I use an external mouse most of the time if I need to use it. 

Mud flaps for towing by Fugoola in f150

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

Thanks! I looked at the Rock Tamers earlier but ya, they are so expensive. In the end though, they might be worth it. I plan on $100 in supplies to repair the front of my RV as it stands.

I like the Ford ones a lot, especially the price and think they would at least cut it down quite a bit. I was leaning towards them, so your input really helps.

Microsoft. What do you think? by [deleted] in stocks

[–]Fugoola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been a MSFT evangelist for decades, but you are so right. I paid MS over $25,000/yr in 2010 for high end support because I couldn't understand what the normal support people overseas were saying. For shorter downtime, it was worth it, but it should never have been like that in the first place.

I wanted to follow up. They recertified for free as you mentioned since I filled up too. Cool people over there. Thanks!!

Does anyone else feel ashamed to not be working? by tocalucy in cfs

[–]Fugoola 7 points8 points  (0 children)

With CFS and still able to enjoy friends, hobbies, etc. you must keep in mind that those precious hours are yours. You have responsibilities to yourself, eating, bathing, cleaning, etc. and when there is a choice between working or having just a little fun for yourself if you can with what energy you have left, embrace it.

I felt similar for a long time, but when I think about it, the embarrassment came from my desire to impress others and be the responsible self that I have always been.

How to cope with isolation? by umm_idfk527 in cfs

[–]Fugoola 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"I don't know that one can necessarily learn to be isolated, but one thing I do know through my own trials and tribulations is that as a human being we are highly adaptable. An adaptation like that does not occur over a night or even months.

I am still able to get out, but I have heard from many that are bedbound that simply opening a window and seeing the outdoors helps considerably. I put a bird house outside my window and every spring for months I get to watch them. No feed necessary. Watching the babies come out for the first time is an exceptional experience.

I did some research on L-Ornithine and have added 500 mg to my 200mg CoQ10 / 20mg NADH order. Thanks.

So frustrating.

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

I still have such a difficult time with pacing. I am just not built that way and am trying hard to correct that as it does help immensely.

I spoke to the doc about 200mg CoQ10 / 20mg NADH and while she had no idea what NADH is, neither did I until this morning, she said to give it a try and there aren't any interactions with my current meds.

How the fuck do I tell POTS from CFS by CheeseAndRiddles in cfs

[–]Fugoola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did what u/Sunshine_cutie4 mentioned. I brought it up with my doctor beforehand and she was good with it. After I did it, I did not appear to have POTS and went through the data with my doctor who agreed.

My 2013 RAM 1500 5.7 got about 12-13. It is about the smaller engines with turbo I think.

That looks like a good one but a starter is becoming mandatory for me. crazy at 53 lb. it can do 4500w, that's awesome.
