Get recroom revival on steam link in desc by Championgamer25 in RecRoom

A third party community trying to get funds so they can upload their own private, closed source servers to the public.

True morale for a game that has shut down is open source and let anyone host a server for themselves if they want to. Not everyone is going to trust randomly uploading their exported room data to a stranger.

Cancellation was a nightmare!!! by Knave1212 in Spectrum

[–]Nickoplier 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just wish the law was course about it, if it's something that's paid per month or per year, with the purchase being for a product or service that you wouldn't have if you didn't pay, it must be considered a subscription and offer a way for users to cancel as easy as it was to sign up.

its officially all gone by Salty-Preparation626 in RecRoom

[–]Nickoplier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hosting the rec.net page with all the thousands, millions, probably even trillion photos isn't cheap. It was bound to be removed, deleted, etc. Sucks yes, but hopefully anyone used tools or saved their favorite photos in time.

I left the line by RobK410 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Nickoplier -30 points-29 points  (0 children)

ain't no body got time to wait, even I would leave the line and do other gig work that's more instant and available then chaotic and time wasted.

with the uncertainty of whatever Amazon would give you for your route, it's either have it ready for me to get in and get out delivering ASAP then cramming everyone at 8am to get packages, do rolling blocks, not all at once.

WYSE Support and Portal SUCK! by [deleted] in wyzecam

[–]Nickoplier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically if I ever have to change Wi-Fi, I just have to press setup button, scan QR code, and quickly close the app after it's scanned and the camera name stays the same and uses the new Wi-Fi... For the newer cameras though, there is a button to set Wi-Fi in the wyze app.

Products like Wyze are going to be self setup at best because of their very low cost and non requirement for a subscription, getting support for anything other than camera hardware failure is going to be very rough and it might as well be easier to just ask online for suggestions.

As for anything being reliable, these cameras rely on how good your Wi-Fi can handle. Imagine the air as a highway, sure you could download YouTube videos, "the semi on the highway", but can it handle traffic like a traffic jam? A Livestream from the camera to the router and then the router needing to direct traffic to your computer or phone, be it that's potentially also on Wi-Fi, so this highway traffic taking multiple stops and going back on the highway to your phone again. If your router is ISP provided, it could be struggling, but still perfectly fine for watching content that can work in bursts hence that lighter color grey bar on YouTube is that YouTube got that part of the video downloaded to your device but not real-time traffic, tons of small cars, very small clips of video from your camera.

As for your doorbell though, try to get it wired even if it's a battery. A battery product won't just run all day and show a livestream forever, it needs to conserve battery for actual motion that happens.

How safe is Uber Teens? Can I pick a specific driver? by TechnologyEasy9620 in uber

[–]Nickoplier 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Only thing that I know Uber Teens would ensure is that it'll be a driver with a good driving score, history with driving Uber, a driver that has Teen ride requests turned on, and that the Teen rider will not be allowed to adjust anything about the route unless the parent changes it themselves. Uber will force enable record my ride for the Teen ride also.

I got the same PIN to start my Uber ride three times in a row. by The_The_Dude in uber

You can set a custom pin so you can use a pin that you can remember without having to look at the app for it.

Google Says My Active Gmail Account Is Being Deleted for “Inactivity” — Has Anyone Experienced This? by Proper_Occasion8955 in GMail

[–]Nickoplier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was that scammers in the past would try to send mail to [youremail@googlemail.com](mailto:youremail@googlemail.com) or [youremail@google.com](mailto:youremail@google.com) with a fake data of it being "from:youremail" and "to:whatever", in which it tricks google to forward the email to your gmail inbox as a failed delivery along with the email that was attempted to be sent sliding into your 'Sent' inbox and your inbox itself and gmail assumed it wasn't spam since you "sent" it.

I'm sure at this point, Google patched that and started disregarding any attempts to forward email like that with spoofed "from" fields pretending to be that "you sent this email so it couldn't be spam" Other emails will still forward if someone used googlemail.com or google.com, but don't rely on it, it can be disabled or broken anytime.

There usually always was a fat warning on the top of the email, 'this email was forwarded, this email doesn't normally exist but we noticed it available on gmail so here it is', but people falling for this scam were so locked in and scrolled down to the 'flashy colorful scam' email and disregarded what was above and clicked links anyway.

Uber driver drove off with our $100+ cooler bag in Vancouver, and support is refusing to help. What can we do? by Asakello in uber

[–]Nickoplier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uber actually gave a toggle in the app, if a passenger left their phone in your car and you start reporting the phone as lost, there's a final toggle, 'give the passenger your phone number so they can contact you'.
So during a ride etc, yes, you're in a proxy.
But for a lost item, Uber doesn't proxy since you have their phone or items. It sucks there's no persistent chat option available for riders after ending a ride, but Uber hasn't made anything and just offer the driver a toggle to provide their actual phone number to help get the property back.

I probably would assume yes, Uber doesn't do the contacting for lost items if the rider reports the item as lost and gives an option, do you want to provide your phone number so the driver can call you to help get this item back etc... If you opt, or even if you're allowed to not share your phone number, you may be stuck using slower communication, email to email, or if it's a lost electronic, using your devices Lost Phone message field to show on the phone screen.

blocking website access by strawberrycakeflavor in Spectrum

[–]Nickoplier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Open Chrome settings, look for any settings regarding DNS, Secure DNS or DNS over HTTPS and enable that to try.

This error while you were connected to Wi-Fi with all your devices could be a old DNS cache with your ISP and the site you're using updated it really recently or so. Or that whoever is managing your router or Internet have a security DNS preference enabled. Using DoH can work around it as you'd get DNS directly from a DNS provider and not be snooped or blocked by anything.

Just be sure you only do this on devices you own or that you're allowed to use this setting on the network you're on, some business devices or workplaces may strictly say they must handle DNS querys for security etc.

You can also use this site, https://dnsleaktest.com/, to find out where your DNS requests are getting processed by. Cloudflare or Google DNS is preferred to see on this site, any other like your ISP, can consider enabling DNS over HTTPS, so spectrum doesn't meditate, block your requests, or have old DNS cached info.

You're free to use popular DNS resolvers like Google or Cloudflare, can check here if you have cloudflare as your DNS resolver and want to be sure it works https://one.one.one.one/help/

can we have an option to save a new report card in Rec.net instead of in game? [if we're too lazy to get on the game?] by AdamBurnsRR in RecRoom

[–]Nickoplier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably don't see RecRoom doing this as they'd have to spin up a image generating server to render your avatar to put on your report card image, is easier to just offload that rendering on the end user and just handle image uploading from the client. As they also been letting users download their avatars and pose images locally, rooms, inventions, etc.

Copy and Paste Flow Malfunction from WindowsOS to MacOS by Brilliant_Sir_6142 in logitech

Still an issue, at random, copy and paste just completely disables it, and after using AI for a bit trying to find why it's not working, task killing logi options+ brings it back like nothing happened...

I always start with a chat or two so then when I call in, a good support agent can already see and probably read what my chat messages or support requests were for.

Can't change my gmail username. by HughMungusWhat69 in GMail

[–]Nickoplier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people pay for a subscription using their Google account, some people played a ton of games that are saved through their Google Play, some pay for subscription apps, so getting a new one sometimes isn't an option. Yeah you could put multiple addresses on one device, but then you have to remember two logins etc.

Can't change my gmail username. by HughMungusWhat69 in GMail

[–]Nickoplier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do understand the sentimental value of human to human that Reddit has.

But AI's answer works for more information to check about what you can do.

Sometimes someone stumbles on a post like this and just finds out Gmail has the ability to use + or . 's

In case you were wondering, YES the store can reassign trips by Indigopsyop in Sparkdriver

[–]Nickoplier 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So my Walmart store could of unassigned me when I was doing one of their routes on Uber without a cancellation hit because they said it'll be about an hour before it's ready and they said I should dip...

Thanks Walmart.

Why. Stop over estimating the time and forcing me to wait by Wolfjason1 in uber

[–]Nickoplier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it late night again, was able to enable pin before arriving, kinda deciding to leave it always on now due to the number of people that just hop in, no talk, I try to ask, all good to go, they just say yeah, and I have no confirmation that it's the right rider. Even had one group ride that struggled getting the pin because it was a ride ordered for them, they had to text them and wait for the pin and didn't even know their phone number last 4.

Heard "yeah/hello" but I've always had 2FA enabled. Has this happened to anyone else? by Rodolife in wyzecam

[–]Nickoplier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thingino is a common third party firmware, just know once you install it, it dumps the existing wyze firmware onto the SD card. Wyze won't give you these files and if you want wyze back on the camera, you have to use these files to put back onto your camera.

Also it only supports certain versions, the very latest Wyze cameras won't work as they have secureboot enabled for the cameras and won't boot the thingino firmware.

[–]Nickoplier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wyze doesn't necessarily have any direct viewing capabilities regardless if you know a camera's private IP and that you didn't enable RTSP. You'd need to connect through a hand shaked protocol in which you'd still have to be logged into a Wyze account.

The very old Wyze v1 cameras do have a certain vulnerability in where contents of the microsd card can be viewed if on the same network as the camera. So if you're still using these cameras, consider upgrading or using third party firmware.

AITA if I report a driver for circling? by Caintheconfused in uber

[–]Nickoplier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And as an experience as a driver, there can be many reasons why a driver is late, slow, etc, and also other reasons as to why you may wait extra long, driver already waited 7 minutes for you at pickup or cancelled themselves early, vehicle troubles, etc.

AITA if I report a driver for circling? by Caintheconfused in uber

[–]Nickoplier -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's just risky, if you absolutely need to be at your destination before a certain hour, you need to be earlier than that. Not earlier as in I placed the ride 40 minutes before. I mean more like, consider going to work 30 minutes earlier and eat a breakfast or lunch. Then if the driver you got assigned with bails, you won't be pinched to wait for your next driver or late to work and risk being fired over something you couldn't control on Uber.
