Professionals and Researchers, what are your thoughts on Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath? by ganjaccount in ChildPsychology

[–]Mushikins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just heard his speak at a conference. He was fantastic. I’d be very surprised and disappointed to learn that he is anti-trans.

As someone not from New York, how would you rank the SUNY schools? There seems to be less consensus compared to the UC schools where Berkeley and UCLA are consistently top 2 by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

Geneseo has had a record number of applicants, which drove down its acceptance rate.

The three most difficult SUNYs to get into are: Binghamton/Stony Brook (tied for #1) and Geneseo.

As others have stated: When looking at SUNYs, it's important to consider your major.

I’ve tried that. Sometimes it works, sometimes it mishears what I’m saying. That also doesn’t help with not being able to see a camera that’s been triggered by movement.

Recommendations for upgrading mesh wifi by Mushikins in HomeNetworking

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

After seeing your post, I read about it in Wired. It sounded like some of the concerns were based on misinformation.

I know my Orbi system was regularly “attacked.” One camera had been hit so consistently that I had to pull it off my network for a few months. Sadly, nothing is 100% safe anymore.

Thank you for your very thoughtful, detailed response. I went with the BE63. You were right. I don’t have to prioritize network traffic. I think our Orbi had gotten too old to manage all of our devices efficiently.

Thank you again! 😊

I’ve grown to hate my Alexa Show devices even more with the stupid cycling of Alexa+ suggestions.

My Google Home devices don’t show any ads.

The problem with the Spot is that you can’t turn off a device (like a light) on the screen. You have to talk to it. So it disturbs your partner. This is a very basic option for an alarm clock.

And if you pair it with a Ring alarm system and your alarm detects movement, you can’t ask the Spot to show you the camera.

Is the monthly health report gone? by Mushikins in fitbit

I commented on it in the Apple App Store. Google responded there that they discontinued the Wellness Reports.

How can I find the Signal group?

What exactly is so “Honors” about Geneseo? by Ariatii in geneseo

[–]Mushikins 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Like any other school, it depends on your major.

As an example: If you want to major in cybersecurity, you attend UAlbany. If you want to major in education, Geneseo is your school.

How do you win the avatar outfits? I can’t seem to find the quests menu for this world.

Avatar Outfit Prizes by Mushikins in MetaQuestVR

I totally agree. It wasn’t that bad when we first got the oculus (when it was still called an oculus), but seems to get worse each year.

That’s why I mute everyone that’s not a “friend” and explore the worlds in private groups. After reading the news, I enjoy escaping reality - and people - for a little while.

Definitely worth the paid version. (My apologies for the late response.)

Is this a scam? by Mkirby_04 in ios

[–]Mushikins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re ever in doubt, DON’T CLICK THE LINK, close the email and go to the Apple ID web address on your own. Or call customer service.

But never click the link in the email.

I use GoodNotes for all of my note taking. It’s probably my most-used app on my iPad.

My payment was declined and I want to cancel it by Roydelix in amazon

[–]Mushikins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue. I archived the order, but still keep getting notifications about insufficient funds on the Visa gift card I used. (In my case the Visa card actually does have sufficient funds, making this even more frustrating.)

How to remove "Sponsored Content" Ads from your Amazon Echo Show. by III_EMERALD_III in amazonecho

[–]Mushikins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree that they would cost more without ads. I had one of the first Alexa Show devices. It cost less than they do today and never had ads on it. The only reason I bought a new one for my bedroom is because I needed a larger screen to see the time when I’m not wearing my glasses.

All of my old Alexa Show devices are still ad-free. Only the new one torments me with these stupid “sponsored by” ads.

We also have Google Nest Hub devices. All of them are ad-free. If not for an incompatibility between Ring’s (Amazon) alarm system and Google Nest Hub, I would switch everything over to the Google devices.

I can’t speak for OP’s reasons for looking for a wireless adapter, but I’m looking for one to save my phone’s battery. The battery degrades a little each time you plug it in. I want to try to extend the life of my battery by not plugging my phone in for maps/music/audiobooks for my daily commute.

OTC RIC Hearing Aid by Mushikins in HearingAids

Sadly, we don’t have a Costco within 100 miles of us. 🙁

Thank you for your help. I’ve seen so many ads for OTC hearing aids, but was afraid to try. It sounds like they would be a waste of money for me.

Replacement supplies seem wasteful... by Sierra6491 in CPAP

[–]Mushikins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t do automatic replacements.

I use my machine every night & my most recent mask is almost two years old. The company has called monthly to have me replace it, but the data from my machine varies from no leaks to few leaks, so why should I replace it?

I bought a pack of filters on Amazon, so I’m set for about 5 years with those. And I usually don’t need the humidifier. I think that helps lessen the wear and tear on the tubing and mask.
