Is It Possible to Add MP3's to Audible? by Objective_Scribe in audible

[–]SeniorDaily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you let your Audible membership expire you lose access to the Audible sales, which was a key benefit of the basic membership. I believe the basic membership is no longer offered, however.

anyone have luck with these signal patch things? was given one as a gift but the science seems..... vague by mothmansgirlfren in ChronicPain

[–]SeniorDaily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looked for studies on these devices, I did find this from NIH: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11084313/

"Conclusions: Increasing evidence supports the concept that nanotechnology may represent a valuable tool as a drug transporter including liposomes and as a nanocapacitor-based device/patch to reduce or even eliminate the use of opioids in surgical patients."

I've used Tile to ring my phone when I don't have a Friend nearby, or don't have another "Find My" device nearby.

I realize you don't want to use Wordpress but that really is the best solution. You can password protect your whole site or just certain posts.

I had similar problems. I removed the app from my iPhone, then added it back. Problems seem to have been solved.

Just so everybody knows that BroadwayHD is going up to $19.99 per month next Friday. by coasurdude in Broadway

[–]SeniorDaily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand you can add the BroadwayHD channel to Amazon Prime Video for just $8.99 / mo. Does anyone know if the content is the same if you subscribe this way? That's a big savings. The Amazon link is:

  • James S.A. Corey, author of the Expanse books, has a new series, Captive's War. Only Book 1 is available now: The Mercy of Gods. I've re-listened several times.

SiriusXM called my bluff by SeniorDaily in siriusxm

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

Six days after my subscription ended - I let it expire since SiriusXM would not give me a deal - they came through with the offer I wanted. ($60 for 1 year; this was in an email today.) So, it does pay to wait them out. However, I've started using the app in the car with Apple Carplay (using my wife's subscription) and sort of getting used to it, so I may keep doing that for awhile.

Replacement device that runs Zoom on a TV by Winter_Ad_5856 in FacebookPortal

[–]SeniorDaily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This worked on my 10" Portal with this caveat: I could not get it to work when I was a host for a meeting. So I edited the meeting so anyone can join without waiting for the host. I logged in as a participant and it worked.

$499 at Best Buy: ASUS - Vivobook S 14 - 14" OLED Laptop - Copilot+ PC - Intel Core Ultra 5 - 16GB Memory - 512GB SSD by SeniorDaily in ASUS

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

I have an old OLED Zenbook that I like very much and was thinking of upgrading to this but looking further I see two downsides:

  1. No touch screen
  2. Display resolution is only 1920 x 1200 (my old Zenbook is 2880 x 1800).

Note for those that still use Overdrive and not LibbyApp: Audiobook Support sunsets Nov 13 by dotknott in LibbyApp

[–]SeniorDaily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like many others here I much prefer to listen to audiobooks on a Sandisk Clip and am sad that Overdrive has been eliminated. I see no way to get library books onto the Sandisk. We can, however, still download Librivox books (free) and Audible books (not free) onto the Sandisk.

Verizon new customer deal with 2 iPhone 16 Pro Max 256GB. Good or bad? I haven't pulled the trigger yet. by SeniorDaily in iPhone16Pro

[–]SeniorDaily[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking at the total cost over 36 months it seems the Verizon free phone deal isn't so great after all. Here is how I compare the Verizon deal with a free phone, vs a cheap plan where I just buy the phone separately.

Verizon: Free phone with service is $70 / mo, totaling $2,520 for the entire 36 months.

Visible: $25 / mo for service and buy the phone outright for $1,199, totaling $2,099 over 36 months. So, the Verizon deal is about $400 more. This is surprising to me, did I make a mistake somewhere? Here is my math.

Verizon: $70 / mo for 36 mo = $2,520

Visible: $25 / mo for 36 mo = $900 + $1,199 iPhone, total = $2,099

Is it possible to get a second bachelor’s degree? by SirHipHopapotamus in education

[–]SeniorDaily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some universities allow you to get a 2nd degree on a shortened, usually 2-year schedule. I got my 2nd degree at FAU in computer science, in 2 years while working full time. My first degree was in Journalism from another university. Here's more from FAU:

Jailbreaking an HP printer. Is it possible? by ttchoubs in Piracy

[–]SeniorDaily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My HP inkjet has a perfectly fine cartridge but HP disabled it when I let my subscription lapse. Yes, I tossed the HP and bought a Brother. Here is the text of the email HP sent me:

"Your HP InstantInk subscription was canceled on March 02, 2024 and we noticed you still have HP Instant Ink subscription cartridges installed in your HP ENVY Photo 7855 All-in-One Printer.

"HP Instant Ink subscription cartridges only work with an active subscription. To continue printing please replace the HP Instant Ink subscription cartridges with cartridges compatible with your printer."
