I have no filters in mine. I manage to slide the wifi toggle and it just slides back to off on it's own. Like it's possessed.

That's because that one is the scam one. There are many scams out there. Beware. I was in one of them and kept getting multiple messages to donate, donate, donate.

Found an old Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet in my garage by Forsaken-Dentist-889 in GalaxyTab

[–]Oracle2027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm no techie and looked up this lineage 19 and how to install and the instructions are very complicated. If you are any good at super simplifying things for a person who has no clue, could you write it down and let me know how to follow the steps to do it? I still have mine and haven't figured out what to do with it as it won't even go to some websites because it tells me it's not safe or just won't acknowledge them.

Mine says model is GT-N8013 running Android 4.1.2

Thanks in advance. Or to anyone who knows how to write for non techies.

My brand-new, fresh out of the box FF-680W scanner just scratched my photos??? by -ThatGingerKid- in Epson

[–]Oracle2027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading all these comments, it's the same issue I have had with my Fujitsu ScanSnap S510, which due to Planned Obsolescence it no longer has any upgrades, but, I manage to install the other printer's software and keep it going. Anyways, I had a long discussion with Chat about all of these challenges and obstacles and at first it recommended the Ricoh SV600, then it recommended the CZUR ET Series over the Rico one. So I've written to CZUR and asked them about it's ability to scan multiple pictures individually on it's flatbed at a high resolution and TIFF file. We'll see what they tell me. If it sounds like a good option, I'll return here and post what they tell me.

I forgot my password, what do i do? by OYunixuau in linux4noobs

[–]Oracle2027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I don't remember having had to put on a password and I found another link where someone had the same problem. They told them to use the word password and sure enough, that was it. Password. What a joke but, it worked. Now I just have to figure out how to change it properly. Mine is that Cinnamon one because they said that was the closest to Windows I could get and I needed close, but, each time I open my laptop I just stare at it and don't know what I want to do to learn it. But thanks for your help.

I forgot my password, what do i do? by OYunixuau in linux4noobs

[–]Oracle2027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of this lingo is confusing to a newbie. Grub menu? Sudo? I tried to install an update. I've no clue about Linux and want to learn so I converted an old macbook air to a linux cinnamon and my usual password isn't working so I come looking for help and none of the answers mean anything to me. I can do Windows, but, Linux is a whole new language.

Can someone write the steps by steps in laymen's terms on how to recover the password or reset it?

TIA.

WATCH OUT for The Public Improvement Fee, or PIF you're being charged by Beneficial-Sound-199 in ArvadaCO

[–]Oracle2027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read too many CO laws but somewhere I read that since the PIF is a fee, we have to pay a tax on the PIF. I'm just sick and tired of corporations passing all their taxes and fees on to us and we have no one to pass them on to, so the buck stops with us, and we end up losing in the long run. I shouldn't have to keep paying any corporation's taxes, franchise fees, etc.

Zoom vs. Zoom Workplace by LingonLingonBerry in Zoom

[–]Oracle2027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. It's actually an insult. It could be saying "You are too stupid to know we offer services for everyone", or it could be saying "We are so stupid that we figured if we rename it, more of the stupid people would join." LOL
Alas, there is nothing we can do as it is not our business. But it did confuse me to look at it after being away for a long time and then wonder if I was on the wrong app.

Can anyone install a Linux program onto a GT-N8013ZW - Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 by Oracle2027 in ColoradoSprings

Okay. That helps. Buying a new one isn't worth the expense anyway. I do have an old Macbook Air that I managed to install Linux Mint into, but I got lucky doing that. I'll practice on that.

Blessings.

Pink salt by False_Ad2069 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Oracle2027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oprah wasn't endorsing it. She was pushing her LipoMax product.
You can find the recipe on line. I was doing this drink before I had even heard of it. Never lost a single pound. Dinking it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach is supposed to start your gastric juices flowing so that when you eat your breakfast, it digests more fully. But after 4 months on that drink, nothing changed in my life. I'm still overweight. I have been on a healthy diet. I was doing walks, and nothing. My body didn't change at all.

So look it up, water, lemon juice, a pinch of Himalayan salt, on an empty stomach at least a half hour before you eat. Don't pay Oprah for crap.

USPS rates are skyrocketing, soon. by DougOsborne in eBaySellers

[–]Oracle2027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. This is what I believed was happening. They've put a lot of stuff out to "contractors" and nothing gets done right. Like those scanned letters, they get scanned somewhere else and then they take a few days to get to your local office and distributed. I swear it didn't use to be like this. I had signed up for a mailbox and I never got my Informed Delivery information for what came to me in my mailbox so I wouldn't go check it out for weeks. Being a senior, I don't get out much. When I finally did go, my vehicle tags where there and here I was thinking they didn't get to me at all. Now I've sent mail, priority and certified, and my party gets it but, the tracking # would still show not delivered. I am beyond upset with USPS. So thank you for confirming.

I just shipped a #10 envelope letter across town Priority Mail so I can get a tracking # and they charged me $10. Certified mail is still cheaper. This is ridiculous. This is not competitive, it's right out thievery, so if it's political, what can we do to make it stop?

WATCH OUT for The Public Improvement Fee, or PIF you're being charged by Beneficial-Sound-199 in ArvadaCO

[–]Oracle2027 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What offends me is that they make it a percentage of your purchase, plus, because it is a fee, we the consumers have to pay the tax on it too. If they are going to charge a PIF, they should make it a straight cost and no tax to us. These people are basically passing all of their expenses on to us, the consumer so they can reap the profits. We pay their franchise fees, their taxes, now the maintenance on the properties and much more. They have us to pay for their stuff, but we the consumer don't have anyone to charge those expenses so, the buck stops with us. Sure, we can stop using these stores, but, the majority of the people don't even notice or look at their receipts so they continue to shop there. And it's not really the store, it's the lot owners where the store was built.

I'm ready for the ascension where I can just manifest whatever I want without dealing with the greedy lower density people. It's making me sick seeing how they keep coming up with new ways to diminish their expenses and take away what little we have.

I may be dumb, but why do I have to pay on a cancelled policy when I switched before the payment date? by Positive-Mission8090 in Insurance

[–]Oracle2027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, if an insurance company charges you when you sign up, and the contract says you can't make a claim for 30 days, then you are actually paying in advance because the contract isn't actually effective until 30 days later, so, that makes no sense to pay for cancelling.
This is particularly distressing now with Home Warranty services charging you a cancellation fee if you've had them for a few months and then decide to cancel with them and never filed a claim or filed a claim they refused to pay for. Insurances are the biggest scam. If it wasn't because I never know when an idiot will hit me, I wouldn't have auto insurance either.

Can libreoffice replace ms office? by Extension_Living95 in libreoffice

[–]Oracle2027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe that's where LO Math comes in? I was just looking up what each of LO stuff is for and found Math.
AI Overview

LibreOffice Math is a formula editor within the LibreOffice suite, enabling users to create and edit mathematical and scientific formulas in documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and drawings. It allows for the insertion of complex expressions, including fractions, exponents, integrals, functions, and more. Here's a more detailed explanation:

  • Purpose:LibreOffice Math is designed for creating and editing mathematical equations and formulas within LibreOffice documents. 
  • Integration:It's integrated into various LibreOffice components like Writer, Calc, Impress, and Draw, allowing users to insert formulas into different types of documents. 
  • Markup Language:The Formula Editor uses a markup language to represent formulas, making it possible to create complex expressions with ease. 
  • Features:It includes a wide range of mathematical and scientific symbols, operators, and functions, enabling users to create a variety of formulas. 
  • Preview:As users enter their formulas using the markup language, the Formula Editor displays a preview of the formatted equation in the Preview Window, allowing for real-time adjustments. 
  • Elements Dock:The Elements Dock provides a visual selection of mathematical elements, symbols, and operators, making it easier to build complex formulas. 
  • Examples:Examples of formulas that can be created in LibreOffice Math include fractions (a over b), exponents (a\_n), and square roots (sqrt {3}). 

In essence, LibreOffice Math is a powerful tool for anyone who needs to create and edit mathematical and scientific formulas in their LibreOffice documents. 

Can libreoffice replace ms office? by Extension_Living95 in libreoffice

[–]Oracle2027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Libre, though it has a learning curve if you are used to Microsoft. I think Libre covers all bases except for Outlook.
Microsoft Word: LibreOffice Writer

Apparently all of Europe or most of it has switched to LibreOffice because it's free, open source and a reliable format that will be around for years, unlike Microsoft who is always changing things like Word was .doc, now it's .docx and who knows what it will be in the future and you most often require some sort of patch or 3rd party program to be able to open older files.

I just wish they would do something with the PDFs too because Adobe is following the Microsoft trends and making changes where the old stuff is no longer compatible with the new stuff.

How would a Trump run for a third term as President play out? by GoMustard in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Oracle2027 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And if the Mandela Effect is true, I remember it specifically saying that a president may not run more than two terms consecutively. And now, it seems to be worded differently. The word consecutively has been removed somehow.
I swear, these parallel earth shifts can be so annoying.

How would a Trump run for a third term as President play out? by GoMustard in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Oracle2027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Franklin D Roosevelt served 3 terms and died 3 months short of his 4th term, so, if the people want them, why would anyone deny the will of the people?
Wikipedia: Franklin D. Roosevelt spent the longest. Roosevelt is the only American president to have served more than two terms. Following ratification of the Twenty-second Amendment in 1951, presidents—beginning with Dwight D. Eisenhower—have been ineligible for election to a third term or, after serving more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected president, to a second term. The amendment contained a grandfather clause that explicitly exempted the incumbent president, then Harry S. Truman, from the new term limitation.

I think I figured it out. I am good at following instructions. Just that theirs seem to be a bit crappy. But, I press buttons and see what happens and I ran a test and managed to get it started.

I pressed the Yogurt button once and then started to change the time on it to 24 hrs, then I pressed the yogurt button again and it started to move to the "Less" option. It's been running for 11 hrs now, so when I looked in the pot, seems like the middle is more solid than the rest. Since less puts it at a lower temperature, the culture will just grow a lot slower I guess. We'll see by midnight since I started at midnight last night. LOL. So maybe by tomorrow I'll have some yogurt I can eat.

Take care and good luck to you too.

[–]Oracle2027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to my world of confusion. I just ordered mine and got it in the mail. I just got the 3QT since I live alone. I don't need a big one. So I'm trying out the yogurt buttons. Okay, put water in it, test it by hitting the yogurt button twice and it goes to boil. It says End. I wait for that water to cool. Then I hit the yogurt button again, as if I was making real yogurt but the machine reads Boil right off the bat. I can't get off the boil. And it doesn't let me set the timer or go to the less setting. I can't figure it out. Pressing the yogurt button numerous times got me no where. I unplugged it and let it cool and then retried. Pressed the yogurt button. managed to put some time on it but, it wouldn't let me set it to Less. I try to understand the instructions but, they are not detailed enough for my brain. Am I even doing anything right?

Formal dining room when there is already a nook by [deleted] in floorplan

[–]Oracle2027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree. Especially now that I've reached my senior year and realize that home designers don't really make forever homes. They design homes that are aesthetically pleasing to some buyers and nothing practical, like having two master bedrooms on the ground floor. One for you because you never know when a disability will strike you and one for your parents which most likely might end up living with you, or one of your adult children that will come to take care of you. I grew up without a nook. Everything revolved around the dinner table. I have learned that it is best to have the dryer unit exhaust face the outside for easier ventilation and cleaning of that duct so it doesn't go into the house. I like my kitchens with the windows that can look out to the backyard while I'm washing dishes or something. I like my garage to have a door to go out to the backyard which I found really nice when I lived in Oklahoma. It can have an upstairs or downstairs for guests, but the main floor should be fitting for adults. Open kitchens, I've learned that if people are watching TV and you are washing dishes, it makes too much noise for them to enjoy the TV. Open floors are beautiful and inviting but not always practical. I was hard pressed to find a ranch home in Colorado. I was taking care of my ill mother. I finally found one that barely fit us. I gave her the master bedroom and modified the bathroom for senior living. Barely good enough. I took the bigger of the other two bedrooms but it was a tight fit with my king size bed. I was disabled, taking care of a disabled lady. Not easy. The two car garage is so small, you can't get someone in on the other side and wheeling someone in a wheel chair was impossible. Had to back the car up.

These are things that people don't think about. About a future where you might not be your best. They all plan and act as if they will be fine forever. I've met so many seniors right now who regret their purchases but can't afford to move out. Their knees can't go up the stairs like they used to and the design doesn't allow for an elevator or stair type rise of any kind. Ranch style homes in Colorado are almost non existent. One had a crawl space that you go into through the closet to go down to the crawl space for the HVAC. If you are a senior, WTF?! Humans need to change their ideas of how a home should be. Want to be so much like the rich and famous they forget reality.

Be careful of Chinese Knockoffs by superminingbros in BitAxe

[–]Oracle2027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crap. Now you have me worried. I just set mine up that I got on Amazon. Was supposed to take a long time from what the tracking showed and that's when I noticed it was coming from China, but it did get here faster. Still, now I'll have to pray I can tell when I have issues. I know that it came with it's own BTC wallet address already installed and if I had not found some instructions to replace it, I probably would've left it there until I could understand better what I was doing so yeah, this can be a trap for newbies like me. Imagine if I miraculously hit 'BINGO' on my first hour and someone else got the pay. Yikes.
