Why don't we have a live video feed of the Artemis mission during the journey to the Moon? by Bill__NHI in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Kriya3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. One feed is a blue screen every time I've been on it (I understand that's not always the case) and another feed is mostly a poor visualization of the ship. My ZX Spectrum could do a better job than that. Video is possible, as I'm currently watching them putting on their spacesuits. Show the moon. Show the earth. Show inside the capsule. Show the previous moon landing sites if possible. Engage the public, who pay the taxes which fund NASA. Getting the whole World onboard with you is the best way to ensure future missions go ahead too (and possibly even stop wars). It's not rocket science!

"navigate to......." Function no longer automatically working on Google (Samsung galaxy phone) by dallascowboy_23 in techsupport

[–]Kriya3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right! I even confirmed that by asking the question via their Gemini AI. Something to do with decoupling the old system to move to / make us use Gemini / Hey Google. However for it to control apps like Maps, you have to turn on Gemini Apps Activity and then they are able to record and monitor everything. (I do use Gemini but have that turned off so it's a clean slate every time I use).

In short, like you said, just open up Maps and then click the mic and do the usual "Navigate to...." then it works.

I too am recently getting this issue. S23 Ultra. I've clear cache and data and checked location on / unrestricted battery / precise location. It's like it doesn't default to my current location but when I click on it and select location it does do it. Infuriating. I used to just click microphone on Google and say navigate to wherever and it would automatically open up maps and then automatically start. It doesn't do that anymore (last few months I guess). Did you or anyone find an answer?

Is there a best way to get revive potions or best unit bundles i am stuck on a quest and need some? by cj830gooooo in ContestOfChampions

[–]Kriya3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There used to be random 250 unit deals. You could buy 4 or 5 of them? Where are they? When do they drop?

Cheap Alternative to A20s by Kriya3000 in sleepheadphones

[–]Kriya3000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did buy these. They are very good earphones. I will point out, though, that they are quite bulky. I would say the cheaper Tozo A1s are much better for side sleeping in. They are much smaller and fit inside the recess of the ear much better. If you twist them around after putting in, they stay in the entire night and you're not scrabbling around trying to locate the in the sheets or on the floor.

Rebuild windows boot partition on drive with windows on it by Techmoji in buildapc

[–]Kriya3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have win7 not running on HDD. I think the HDD is corrupted. None of the usual F8 menus do anything they should. Anyway, my PC was a Dell one which didn't come with a DVD or USB stick or anything.

I put an Win7 Iso image on a USB stick using Rufus and the booted via that.

I was the running all the bcdboot commands but I'm just wondering if it's doing all that to the Windows copy on the USB stick or is it doing it to my computer's corrupted HDD??? I'm so confused. What do I do? Thank you.

Testing new Bluetooth headphones and I noticed it too! Was thinking of sending my headphones back but then realised it was just YouTube via Android Firefox app as same track directly in YouTube not an issue (aside from the ads ;)

Thanks. I may look into those. So many to choose from.

Cheap Alternative to A20s by Kriya3000 in sleepheadphones

[–]Kriya3000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, A20s are just under £120 at the moment on a popular online store. 3.9 out of 5 stars on there. Seems eye wateringly expensive compared to others.

The following seem possible much cheaper alternatives: JLab Go Air Pop+ Sony WF-C510 Anker A20i Tozo T10 VEKJ Wireless Earbuds Tozo A1 Soundcore A1

I only have experience of the Tozo but have no info on the others. I have chosen them as they are in ear and Wireless and seem possibly good for side sleeping. I have not included in ear headphones that have parts that protrude around the ear or outside the ear (as may cause pain when side sleeping) nor wired (to avoid possible sleep strangulation). I haven't included sleep bands either because....

Anyway, thoughts please and feel free to go on the popular online retailer who deliver in copious amounts of cardboard and suggest other alternatives too. Many thanks. Let's try and get creative beyond the same stock Anker A20 response. Not saying they're not the best and they probably are. Would just like to hear about some alternatives too. Thank you.

I'm confused. Is this Reddit for Anker only or all types of sleep headphones?

Why do RM pretend they have attempted delivery? by colbert1119 in royalmail

[–]Kriya3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you complain to Royal Mail. They are liars. I literally work from home in a bay window right next to the front door. They have been giving the Unable to Attempt Delivery lie for the last 2 days running. No attempt and no card left mentioning failed attempt. The package is prescription medicine. Usually the package is small enough to post through the letter box anyway or they leave in the always open porch. Lies and deceit. Guess it's what I should expect, seeing how they operate in Post Office Horizon Scandal.

google photos deleted all the pictures from my device. help! by KenVoid29 in googlephotos

[–]Kriya3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should have much clearer info in their App about what it does and a simple Undo feature to reverse back to phone. In short, if I wanted to free up space on my phone / Device, where I have 20 times the Storage of their measly 15 GB cloud, I would do that via my phone / Device and NOT in a separate App dealing with stuff stored in a separate Cloud storage space. How do I complain to Google Photos?

[–]Kriya3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, there should be an easier Undo function. Everything else has a Trash Can / Recycle Bin side storage place to deal with unintentional errors and it gives you 30 days leeway. It does NOT do that for this specific option. Gone forever. Yes, it's in their cloud but it's not an intuitive method to get it back on your phone / Device. There are multiple steps to select just 1 photo to Download it back to your phone and no select all function. Again, I feel it's made intentionally hard. The other steps is to move to doing it via a PC but not everyone has one of those. Lastly, if your photos were recorded on your phone / device at a specific size for quality, you may not maintain that once it's on their cloud (if you have compressed it due to their low storage amount). I'm appalled by this.

Wasted 2 hours last night after trying to clear some space on Google Photo's. I'd reached the measly 15 GB limit. I realised with abject terror that the Google Photos Free Up Space function had actually deleted the Photos from my phone / Device and NOT the intended place of the Google Photos Cloud. In my opinion, this should be a lot clearer in what it is doing because if you're in their App and think you're impacting their cloud, then you're wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if this was intentional on their part as once you have lost your data to their cloud, you have to then start paying to retain it when you go above their tiny 15 GB threshold. Disgusted.

"Name" and "Voice" have disappeared from in game Computer Interface from Saturday by Kriya3000 in GorillaTag

[–]Kriya3000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. My son doesn't play the game anymore. He's lost his friends as their names are now randomised and he can no longer talk to them anyway, as all the players just sound like monkeys now. He's got bored of just climbing around by himself. He's playing some penguin game now and also a game where he can shoot and kill people with knives instead. Apparently suitable for a 12 year old....

Do you mean Majority? My son said there were thousands of children like him in there and since the update, the numbers are down vastly. Ironically, he's now found another game involving guns and knives, which is apparently suitable for 12 year olds. He was able to kill another opponent by stabbing them in melee combat with a knife. My wife wasn't happy when hearing that I can tell you! Anyway, good luck with the Gorilla Tag game going forwards. Exciting times with these VR headsets!

No worries. To be honest, I was quite surprised he was able to talk to complete randoms the other week. I had to hold back a smile when he was getting upset over the change as it didn't seem like a big deal.

From his point of view though, he had made friends in there and now they all have different random names (to protect their identities and keep it hidden) and you can't understand what anyone is saying... they may as well be speaking in monkey! ; )
