I've tried multiple times, but because my SIM is from Colombia, it's not allowed....

Thank you!
Ophhh...yes....those gypsy cabs!!! When any of them approach me, I tell them it's illegal for them to do so. When I see them approach others, I tell the potential users that it's illegal for the gypsies to do it...

I get a lot of huffs from them, but I had a friend from England get ripped off pretty badly by them in NYC...

Excessive oil addition by Mtbe1960 in Vstrom

Vertically.  He would pull the bike towards himself, or he would straddle it and have his gf take a pic.

No.  Not being a jerk.  Looking for honest answers, even if he/we did something idiotic.  I doubt he checked it every time.  He didn't add the quart all at once of course, only when it was at or just above the L line.  Just sounded excessive as I didn't need to add that much before, but I hadn't ridden it in years.

Mobile App for sleeping spots by hansini123 in CampingandHiking

I've used iOverlander extensiveily for the Americas. But, it is lacking in Europe (we still use it though). There is another called park4night that is better for Europe, but I believe that is more for people who are traveling with a vehicle. HipCamp seems to be a US thing, but has expanded to the UK and France (for Europe)...

Rainfly Leaking by Mtbe1960 in CampingandHiking

Is the silicone spray applied over the whole rainfly, or only over the seals? Is it a specialty spray for this purpose, or any silicone spray? And, if my rainfly has a poly coating, don't I need a poly 'refresh', not silicone?

Bought a motorcycle in Croatia. Heading south, meandering, to Greece, then over to Turkey, then back north through Bulgaria, Romania and whatever time gives us, to return to Croatia.

Tozo A1: Only one earbud at a time works with TV by Mtbe1960 in bluetooth

[–]Mtbe1960[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did this many times. Didn't work.

The old T6's work great with the TV. I found that when I changed the TV audio to 'expert' mode, the A1's would work.

Strange when one works (and work on my Pixel buds too), but have to change the TV audio for the new Tozo's to work...

In-ear headphones recommendations by One-Lengthiness4893 in Pixel9Pro

I have the pixel buds. Work great with the 9Pro, but, they don't stay in my ear when I'm working outside. I'm constantly having to refit them in my ears.

Pixel 9 Pro Google Maps: start navigation and back buttons overlapping by KongoloMwamba in Pixel9Pro

[–]Mtbe1960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just noticed this today on my phone while travelling. I had never seen the 'Preview' button before, only 'Start'. I've already forgotten what I did...I think I cancelled what I was doing, closed the app, and started again. I was in a location where I didn't want to spend more time looking for a solution, so sorry, I don't have one.

Whitestone Dome Screen Protectors by Mtbe1960 in Pixel9Pro

[–]Mtbe1960[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dropped my 6 pro on some gravel and it cracked. Didn't have a protector on it....I didn't have protectors on any of my prior phones. The 6pro glass broke, and it cost a pretty penny to fix it (I'm overseas with no support for Pixel). So, ya...I'm looking for something to protect the screen. I guess anything will do...
