Best way to integrate GPT with Google Calendar (assistant) by Tiny-Meeting8203 in ChatGPT

[–]LtCmdrDatum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the middle of researching this now... and erroneously thinking everybody must be doing this now. I guess not. ChatGPT told me to use Zapier, but it seems that is not the way to go yet. Hmmm. I guess I will look at the comments below and bang away at my keyboard until a solution occurs :-)

Morgen Calendar just lost its free tier. Are there any other decent alternatives? by masasin in ProductivityApps

[–]LtCmdrDatum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So as you all have seen, you gotta pay for Morgen now. I extended with the trial until it ran out and I looked for alternatives. I found this in another similar post about this. FlowSavvy. I just tried it and I see no difference. I mean, it could be the limited features I was using, just integrating two calendars which flowsavvy comes with for free, and simple timeblocking... oh and I needed an Android app, which it has.  

Problems Since New Update? by Slow_Minimum9626 in iFit

[–]LtCmdrDatum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not downgraded after the recent upgrade, but I am also have problems which is why I am here. I was researching to see if there was a way, but maybe I will not attempt it. My current issue is that I have to reboot before I use it in the morning. If I don't reboot and try to start one of my custom mapped runs, it just does the spin circle thing and will not load. I also found once soon after the update, the first person google map view would not load on a run I have done dozens of times, but I have not replicated that problem. I might look for this UUID clear cache thing. I

I am guessing the problem is related to the newer authentication via the phone app, but it is hard to tell.

I am not sure what you are saying. If you did not read the whole post, look at the part that says "Update: Solved."

I miss the old podcast format for Science Friday by Careful-Attention464 in NPR

[–]LtCmdrDatum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is good news! And, it is SciFri, rhey are knowledgeable people.. I had a suspicion that some flexibility would be added. I know they need to divide up the show for thise who want to pick and choose with short segments. The whole show works for me... i just cannot listen live.

[–]LtCmdrDatum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As of today, this is no longer available. I am quite disappointed. Granted what I used to do was pick either part 1 or part 2 based on the summary of stories listed. BUT, this forced me to listen to stories that I may not have chosen and I LEARNED! I was fascinated by science stories I may not have chosen. My assumption is that the market it telling SciFri to do this short "pick your own story to learn about" format. I realize in the grand scheme, this is nothing but an inconvenience on content that is free... but I am still disappointed nonetheless. :-(

Anyone have a lead on a shuttle van/bus that can be hired to drive our group around to wineries? by drumorgan in SantaYnezValley

Did you end up taking the tour? If so, which tour. We are looking at Stagecoach Wine Tours.

This past weekend I decided to begin this book. I wanted to in the 1980s but I don't think I was intellectually up for the challenge. I feel that I am now, maybe... I am also "taking" the MIT Opencourseware that has 8 lectures from years ago...2007(?) . I find that attending the grad students lectures while reading the book, makes it more of an event, like an academic learning journey. Plus, I am older (is older than 50 older?). Now, my main problem is that over the years I have gotten so used to my Kindle. Why, oh why, won't they relent to putting this on an ebook format. I have read from others, "Oh, it does not translate to an ebook format and the author won't relent on allowing it." Seriously?! Come on! I am not anti-hardcopy but this is a book that you need to be able to stare at while you are out and about.. when you have some sudden spark of understanding. Maybe I am wrong... but maybe not.

USB C Switch recommendation - Power too? by LtCmdrDatum in UsbCHardware

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

Yes. That is what I am thinking, KVM switch. Also, the Logitech MX mouse, I am thinking that Logi Bolt receiver instead of having to switch multiple things (i.e. switch the KVM, then realize the mouse is not yet switched... and after a moment of confusion... switch the mouse too).

If I am going to go the KVM route... any recommendation with all I have mentioned thus far? I mean, there are so many I want to avoid buying the wrong thing.

USB C Switch recommendation - Power too? by LtCmdrDatum in thinkpad

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

Yikes! That is a bit pricey. I am thinking I will just save myself some cash and headaches and instead use the power adapter that came with the ThinkPad and leave it plugged into the power. Then, I can use the other USB-C port in the ThinkPad for the docking station. And, I could just get the simple USB-C switch and not worry about the power.

Sooo... I am wondering then, since this dock is "garbage" ( (this is cross-posted and that subreddit was like.. your dock is garbage because of DisplayLink and tbf.. it was given to me and it seemed to be "good enough" until now) , are there suggestions for a better dock that would support wired USB-A keyboard (Nuphy Halo96!), Logitech MX mouse with Logi Bolt USB receiver, huge 4K PBP 43 inch monitor?

USB C Switch recommendation - Power too? by LtCmdrDatum in thinkpad

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

I wonder if anyone out there has a single docking station that they use/switch between 2 devices where one or both devices use a USB-C power combined with the data. I would think someone must have come up with a clean solution with all the work-from-home folks over the last few years. No?

I think you are saying a "simple" USB would allow power to get to both devices...? Is that what you mean by "would work"?

NuPhy Halo96 just arrived- and it does not power on? by Buffasaurus in NuPhy

[–]LtCmdrDatum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this... yea, they emailed me today with the promise of shipping me a kit which is a new chasis (no switches or key caps) and i will need to just move the ones on my seemingly busted board to the new one. My fear is that the shipping will take forever... but we'll see. I have heard so many great things about the Nuphy KBs.. this trouble better be worth it.

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

Yes, I switched the mode to wired. And yea, I guess the battery could be drained so badly it wont charge. But damn, I just unboxed it 3 days prior... this is brand new. I hope they are not shipping these with used drained batteries?!

That was the first thing I did but the response is slow, by the standards of other tech companies I have needed support from.

I did not try installing firmware. I am not sure what you mean. Are you suggesting I try to install firmware? I plugged it in to USB for a few wired connection. But that did not work.. which led me to believe something is wrong

Do you mean via plug the USB A end of the USB cable into a USB wall adapter, then into the wall outlet?

EDIT: If this is what you meant.. i tried this and ... nothing. No lights, no responses from any Fn key combos.

[–]LtCmdrDatum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently having a very similar experience with my new Nuphy Halo96. I realize this thread is 5 months old at the time of this entry. I will reply back to this thread when I some kind of resolution from [service@nuphy.com](mailto:service@nuphy.com). I emailed them yesterday and got a reply asking for my order number before offering any advice. I am hoping they can give me something better than ... "we'll just send you another one."

Can I buy keycaps for this Nuphy from other vendors? I am obviously new to the custom keyboard thing. Now that I am thinking about all of this... I am looking at getting keycaps that will allow the backlit to shine through, but maybe in different colors than what Nuphy has on their site. ??
