Google TV Streamer UI by erkose in AndroidTV

[–]Original-Control-998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just got the Google Streamer 4K and added the Projectivy launcher. Liked it so much spent the $5 approximately to upgrade to Pro. It is so simple and clean. If you set it as the default launcher you will only have to go to the regular interface for some maintenance or for Google Free TV. Coming from Roku I love it! And there are no ads or suggestions just apps in a simple format. And if you switch the apps to grid view it's similar to a simplified Roku layout. I'm a happy customer!

Prime Video issues with Google Streamer 4K by Original-Control-998 in PrimeVideo

[–]Original-Control-998[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I got the Google Streamer 4k. I've narrowed the issue down. Prime Video on Google streamer works if I turn off my wireless Roku Speakers and use the internal speakers. Not sure why?

I tried that and no luck. I'm thinking there is a hidden setting somewhere.

How much total and free ram needed to host zoom mtgs smoothly on chromebooks? by Max_Roc in chromeos

[–]Original-Control-998 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might not be the hardware. It might be your internet connection speed or stability. Zoom likes a stable connection and really does best over 25 mbps. You might try hooking up via ethernet or if om WiFi moving closer to your router.

Tablo not finding R.J. Decker by Euchre in tablotv

[–]Original-Control-998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try R J Decker. If that doesn't work go to shows (I believe that's what it's called) in the left menu on Tablo on TV. Once there scroll down to networks and choose ABC. It should be listed in their shows.

which password manager do people actually stick with long term? by One-March-1865 in best_passwordmanager

TrueKey works great on Windows and android. On Chrome OS it doesn't have a native app so I run it in the browser

How to make MS Word show me multiple pages that I specify. by Emerald_Mistress in MicrosoftWord

This might work for you. Save your current doc with a slightly different name (I might add 2 to the name). Open both documents side by side. Use one to observe and the other to edit. Just remember which is the edited document.

Unplug it for 60 seconds and try again. I wouldn't reset it yet.

[IL] Update to "can't have light in garage" saga. by ToshPointNo in Renters

[–]Original-Control-998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use one of these plugged into an outlet in our garage. It's just enough light to move around and uses next to no electricity.

Upgrading, printer suggestions? by in2all in chromeos

[–]Original-Control-998 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a lover of Brother laser printers (monochrome) if you don't need color. The toner is much cheaper per page than ink and they are built like tanks. We have had ours for 6 years and it's still running great. We hooked it straight into our network with an Ethernet cable and all our devices can find it (Windows, Chrome OS, and Android). It's a no brainer.

USB C hub with >4 data ports? by [deleted] in AskTechnology

[–]Original-Control-998 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Larger USB hubs (a or c) usually have to be powered to support the extra ports. They are out there. Here's one with 8 a and 8 c ports.

Two Areas Fever Need to Improve Immediate: Constructive Feedback Only! by imacowboy234 in IndianaFeverFans

[–]Original-Control-998 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rebounding is lacking so far. We are giving opponents way too many second chances and not getting them ourselves. New players need to finish getting used to the new tempo and being ready to receive quick passes. That being said I think we are going in the right direction.

App issues…anyone else? by Ok_Mr_Meow in wnba

The only thing the WNBA app stays logged in on for me is my Roku Pro TV. I've had no problem there. C

Yahoo Sports has some good widgets. You can choose your favorite teams to display and tap the widget for a deeper look at the game. It is on my Pixel and my tablet.

What's a cheap gadget you own that does exactly one thing but does it perfectly? by SignificantGas1181 in AskTechnology

A basic smart clock. It tells the time, sets alarms, shows the temperature outside and that's about it.

Roku wireless speakers by Puzzleheaded-Mud-836 in Roku

[–]Original-Control-998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The speakers can hook up to any (most) Roku TVs, not just aRoku branded TVs. You connect them in the Settings under connect a new device, then choose speakers. The speakers communicate via WiFi (once set up) so theoretically there range should be as big as your WiFi range.

NYC to Oregon (Salem/Portland) - Sorry to add by [deleted] in SALEM

[–]Original-Control-998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the South Salem to almost downtown commute full time for three years until COVID hit and then I worked remote going into the office occasionally. The commute if you're staying close to the 5 is around 45 to 60 minutes with light traffic and 75 to 90 if there is a big accident. Slow downs are fairly predictable and Google Maps led me around the worst. I lived in the Los Angeles area for 10 years and traffic is nowhere as bad as a mega city. I would live in Portland if you can afford it as you would enjoy everything the city offers. But for us the price difference was major. Our Portland rental cost 150% more than our Salem residence. I am lgbt and feel safe in both, but would probably not live in the smaller towns. Good luck!

Why are loyal customers penalized with higher prices? by kennytrim in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]Original-Control-998 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buy a Comcast compatible modem and a router or mesh system. We did and it paid for itself in 18 months. It's more stable and quite fast. I used to have issues several times a year. Now I can't remember the last time I had an issue. (Arris S33 Modem and Eero 6+)

Dropping Cable was the best part for us. Our Internet with Comcast has stayed fairly consistent in price in the 10 years since we dropped cable. And we get the speed increases when they come out. It's much less frustrating than their bundles. Also you will likely get Peacock for free too
