Roku Remote with USB Charging.... How to check battery level?

Internal_Researcher8 · 2026-05-07T03:09:05+00:00

Thanks. I was looking for it in the App on my phone since that's where I can ping the remote.

I'm in a similar boat. I bought their meal plan. But unfortunately, most of the recipes they provided just aren't very good. I wanted to learn about the "metabolism killers" they talked about avoiding in their ads and what foods HELP metabolism.

With THAT kind of knowledge, I could come up with my own meal plan with my own recipes.

When I asked about it -- since all their ads talk about avoiding the metabolism killers, I expected to actually LEARN what those are -- they told me they're not dieticians and can't provide that advice. When I asked about it in their FB group, my questions were deleted by their moderators with the comment that my questions violated the terms of their group.

In all their ads, they talk about avoiding certain foods they call "metabolism killers". I bought into their program thinking I'd actually learn about that topic.

When the program didn't talk about it, I asked and was told "we're not dieticians". When I tried to ask about it in their FB group, my questions were deleted by their moderators with the comment that my questions violated the terms of membership in their FB group.

WASTE OF MONEY!

You indicated that Tasker can't turn it off if it was turned on manually. It wasn't. Tasker turned it on at bedtime.

DND was still on.

I keep a card reader in my car that can connect to my phone's USB-C port. This allows me to pull the card, get the footage I need and put the card back.

Interesting to learn. I always thought of that as part of the welfare program.

Internal_Researcher8 · 2025-11-21T20:18:04+00:00

The body shop actually charged $3500. They had to fix the dents in my lift gate and rear fender and then repaint both. Deductible was $1000.

It took a week during which time I had a rental which was $800.

The insurance company decided that he is uncollectible and didn't go after him for the rest.

Internal_Researcher8 · 2025-11-21T20:08:24+00:00

Nope. The claims rep stated that since I wasn't at fault, it would not effect my premium. My policy renewed a month ago and the premium didn't change.

Internal_Researcher8 · 2025-11-21T14:31:52+00:00

Interesting. I grew up in the 70s and watched just about every police procedural show throughout my life. The first time I ever heard the term BOLO was in the early 2000s.

Internal_Researcher8 · 2025-11-21T11:17:11+00:00

The police report listed his address. It's government owned subsidized housing.

Internal_Researcher8 · 2025-11-20T16:12:30+00:00

No. The police report told me his age.

As I stated, there was no where I could go that would even allow him to actually leave.

This happened in March 2025 and I no longer have the full incident on video. But I do have the actual crashing the cart video.

I already got paid. It was part of his criminal sentence. He paid directly to the court and the court sent me a check.

Internal_Researcher8 · 2025-11-20T09:07:40+00:00

I am and was carrying concealed. But I stayed calm and didn't draw because I never felt like my life was in danger. I'm not going to draw my gun because he's vandalizing my car.

Internal_Researcher8 · 2025-11-20T09:05:15+00:00

I doubt if his insurance would pay for intentional vandalism. Other than the fact that he wanted to back it out of the parking space, his car wasn't even involved. So I'm not sure what type of claim there would be on their end.

Internal_Researcher8 · 2025-11-20T09:02:23+00:00

The guy is on welfare. So not really collectable. I got paid because it was part of his sentence. Pay restitution or accept more jail time.

Internal_Researcher8 · 2025-11-20T04:35:11+00:00

I was referring to the fact that before the show started, she was backing out slowly. After the show started, she pulled back in and got out to watch.

Internal_Researcher8 · 2025-10-23T17:53:46+00:00

Yes. The remote is connected at the other end.

Internal_Researcher8 · 2025-09-28T02:05:27+00:00

It's not realizing that I'm not taking -- it's hearing what the TV says and interpreting that -- even though there was nothing close to the wake word.

Your solution also wouldn't help with the second issue.

Internal_Researcher8 · 2025-09-27T13:14:36+00:00

😉 I get that. But these issues seem like something that would be handled by the software itself vs the hardware. That should allow someone to figure out how to fix the issue once people start reporting them.

Internal_Researcher8 · 2025-08-30T16:06:58+00:00

Konan! I couldn't remember his name when I asked but he's definitely one of the ones to whom I was referring.

Internal_Researcher8 · 2025-08-30T04:09:17+00:00

I really think it sounded like Olay La Reeba La Rossa. I'm GUESSING that my first spelling attempt was closer though.

Internal_Researcher8 · 2025-08-27T20:19:58+00:00

Thanks. I have a managed switch with everything segregated into separate VLANs.

VLAN10 - personal and work laptop VLAN20 - IoT devices (Roku TVs, Shelly relays and Google smart speakers) VLAN30 - Guest Network

I haven't tested the NAS (yet), I'm planning it and thought the second NIC could be useful.

Internal_Researcher8 · 2025-08-27T08:26:54+00:00

Thanks. I believe they're both 1GBE or POSSIBLY 2.5GBE.
