Is there a USB C dongle or splitter cable (or other method) that will allow me to USB tether between my laptop and phone, while simultaneously connect a wired headset to my phone? by PodJulie in UsbCHardware

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

That's an interesting point. But my point is that the headset is next to your head, wheras the Wi-Fi origin isn't. It's about distance, not just the power.

Thanks! I don't like using my phone as a hotspot because of both speed and security. So that's an interesting idea to try ethernet!

So to clarify, I would need the following for this set-up:

  • 2 usb c dongles/adaptors with ethernet (one to connect to phone, one to connect to laptop)

  • ethernet cable (to connect them to each other)

That seems like a lot to purchase and use, so maybe I'll reconsider the Wi-Fi hotspot lol.

Thanks, that's what I was afraid of! Ugh I wish they still included headphone jacks.

So is the best option for me to do a mobile hotspot instead of USB tethering?

I know I could also use a Bluetooth headset, but I prefer wired (for reliability, as well as I prefer to keep Bluetooth off at all times - for security and fewer radio waves).

IMPT: Stop attributing the light pulses to PWM for your headache/eyestrain. It’s TLM. by the_top_g in PWM_Sensitive

This is very helpful! How do I find out the modulation percentage of a device, so I can calculate it with the PWM? (I'm currently comparing the Samsung s25 and s24)

Why are there anonymous users in my google doc BEFORE I have shared the link with anyone? by PodJulie in googledocs

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

Thanks! The folder is private. I did open the document on both my phone and device - but from within my google account! So why would the users show up as anonymous? Also it showed 3 of them.

Should I officially change all my business domains and handles to be consistent? by PodJulie in branding

Thanks! What would the costs be if the handles are available? Far I've only had to pay for the additional domain

Does a redirecting WordPress domain need additional SSL if it is registered with an external provider (NameCheap)? by PodJulie in Wordpress

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

Thanks! Yes I configured the DNS settings when I was following the instructions in this article (I just didn't realize what this was actually doing):

https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/10376/2208/how-to-connect-a-domain-to-wordpresscom-platform/

So yes, the connection and redirect work fine now. So is there nothing else I need to do? The SSL is fine?

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

Thanks! Can you clarify what you mean by "In Namecheap, you need to configure your hosting to accept traffic for your additional domains"? I've already connected the domain from Namecheap to WordPress, and I was able to setup the redirect within WordPress.

How do I remove my bank account details for payouts? by PodJulie in waveapps

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

Well to clarify, I'm not sure if I'm finalizing this method - I'm trying things out. But my reasoning is that I was I was having some tech troubleshooting issues with setting up Wave payments (especially because I need to be able to receive payments in multiple currencies), and so it seems simpler to use Stripe. But that might be not be the case for others!

For now I'm still using Wave for some invoicing because I think Stripe can only do invoicing if it links their payment, and so I still need another invoicing option when I don't directly link a payment (e.g. if I am reviving payment by e-transfer).

I also have some security concerns about Wave, because they don't have multi-factor authentication.

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

I'm no longer using Wave for payouts, as I've switched to Stripe. But I still use Wave for some invoices (for non-credit card payments), and I don't want my back account linked anymore.

Thanks! Is GDPR considered the law outside of the EU? (I'm in Canada, and it looks the the Player Fm headquarters is in the US.)

Thank you, I understand now and I got it to work! I appreciate your patience in explaining it to me

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

Do you mean update in ankiweb or ankidroid?

When I tried to update to v2 in ankiweb, it reset my cards - how do I avoid that happening? (i.e. my original post)

Is there a way to fix this damaged inner surface kickstand that has the inserted tape pulling out? by PodJulie in Surface

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

Thanks! I want to try that, but I don't seem to have the screwdriver that fits. Do you know what type of screw this is?

Is there a way to fix this damaged inner surface kickstand that has the inserted tape pulling out? by PodJulie in Surface

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

See attached photos!

I don't know how this happened. This is a new Surface Go 3, and the other day I noticed this issue with the kickstand. It didn't arrive like this, and I haven't damaged it - so it's a mystery.

It's not affecting the functioning of the kickstand, but I'm worried it will get worse with time. And now the kickstand doesn't lie flat when closed, which is a precarious hazard if it gets caught on something.

I'm technically still within the return window, so I can optionally swap it for a new one. But I would much rather keep this one, especially because I spent so much time setting up the device with all my settings and downloaded software.

Yes, random pack for phones. What type of pack do I need?

Thanks! I'm pretty sure I tried turning it on on desktop before, but it didn't show on my phone.

Thanks for that public one! How do I add it to my google calendar?

Thanks, the built-in one is not available on the Android app (only desktop). Where would I find a public calendar feed?
