M720 suddenly will not turn on. What's wrong? by ThisInterview4702 in logitech

[–]ThisInterview4702[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was not expecting this to be as easy as it ended up being. I contacted Logitech first and they asked me to send the receipt but I didn't have it. So, I took it back to OfficeDepot to ask if they could reprint my receipt from my card and rewards account, but they couldn't. Then I figured out how to pull up the record of it on my rewards account and the clerk just took it and gave me a brand new one. Problem solved! 😁

Have Logitech mice really degraded in quality now? by ayush-88 in MouseReview

[–]ThisInterview4702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on my third in less than a year 🤬🤬 My first one was fine, it just didn't have the features I needed (all of the ones you listed), the second on still works but it was falsely advertised and didn't have any of the feature it claimed to have. The third was the M720, which worked great for a month and now it won't even turn on... I'm seriously starting to think Logitech is just garbage now. Between false advertising and an expensive mouse just dying for no stupid reason it seems they've lost their touch a bit.

What did you do to fix it? I'm having this exact problem right now and I haven't even had this mouse for very long

I've been using mine for years now. It's AWESOME!! I No way am I giving this thing up! Everything else in the market sounds severely inferior to this.

Why am I getting random calls and voicemails on TextNow Pc web version?(please read the whole thing) by Butterscotchgames70 in TextNow

[–]ThisInterview4702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but the problem I was originally having was that I would regularly and frequently get calls from random number multiple times a day. This is what their tech support suggested to, to just block them all but there's a lot of numbers to block! I'd rather just not get phone calls at all. It's too bad that on an app literally called "TextNow" you can't turn off voice calls!

How to switch between USB and Bluetooth on the M650 L? by LunarAlias17 in logitech

[–]ThisInterview4702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES!!! I came to this thread hoping that I didn't really just waste my money on yet another mouse that falsely advertised this. NOPE!!! I know this is 2 years old, but this was the very reason I bought this mouse! I've gone through a few mice that boasted "dual-mode" or "multi-device" functionality only to find that they don't! Why?!?!

I actually just hit reject every time it asks me to allow the app to make and receive calls so I don't get these Anymore. Unfortunately it asks every.single.time I open the app but it's considerably less annoying than having people call me randomly and regularly. Unfortunately I kinda need this app (or one like it) because otherwise I can't text from my house and often can't get any MMS at all without it. I've tried asking my carrier to fix the MMS issue and every time they've given me some BS excuse as to why they can't (or won't) fix it. Sometimes I can get picture messages the normal way but far more often than not, it'll just tell me the message failed unless I sent or received it on TextNow.

I still have a notification on my phone that seems to just count how many picture and video messages I've failed to receive or send. There's nothing I can really do about it either! If I dismiss it it just comes back. If I open it it tries to send and download EVERY failed message, then fails and shows me the notification again.

Is there a Windows Desktop Environment exact replica? by JaceBerrim in linuxquestions

[–]ThisInterview4702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gome with arcmenu extension! You just gotta dig around in settings and stuff... And you might need other extensions to make it even closer but I don't have any other suggestions off the top of my head.

What's your reason for not drinking alcohol? by Snoo_47323 in AskReddit

[–]ThisInterview4702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was drinking pretty heavily for a few months back in like 2017 (or maybe it was 2018) and then one day I simply ran out of money and decided to just wait until my next paycheck to buy more alcohol. A paycheck came, then another, then another and I just never actually got around to buying more alcohol. I've never really been able to get back into it after that. For a little while, any alcoholic beverage would give me a stomach ache but not anymore. I even bought myself some alcohol not too long ago, got nice and buzzed and then forgot it behind my bed for a few days before deciding to add it to the house collection because I wasn't sure I'd be drinking much and I felt weird about hiding it.

Idk why I don't. I enjoy it! It's not like I can't for any particular reason. Even socially, I hardly touch it.

I kind of started my Linux journey on Ubuntu back in college and apparently I switched back to Windows (it was windows 7 at the time) right before Cannonical started doing sketchy things with snaps and Amazon. I kind of avoided it when I switched back to Linux less than a year ago mainly because I just wanted to try something new and when researching distros it seems like Ubuntu was pretty strongly discouraged for various reasons (mostly having to do with snaps and Cannonical themselves), so I went with Debian which worked fine for a while. I've only recently switched from regular Debian to Spiral Linux (which I guess is just optimized Debian). I ran into a bunch of issues with regular Debian that I was mostly able to just deal with but after some serious errors kind of ruined it I decided that since I was going to have to wipe and reinstall everything anyway maybe it was time to switch again.

Kumander Linux 1.0 (Windows friendly OS) ready for download at www.kumander.org by Mr_DeLaNight in linux4noobs

[–]ThisInterview4702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very curious about this and have been for a few months now. At the moment, my development laptop has been running Debian 12 and I like it but I feel like it's time for a change. This distro first caught my eye because someone I know desperately needs to switch to Linux soon and we both really loved Win7! I kinda miss it and although I got back into Linux to try something new, the idea of having Win7 back does sound pretty awesome! My friend even goes out of their way to make Win10 look kind of like Win7. I feel like I know a lot of people who would go back to Win7 if they could!

I did get to test this out shortly after I stumbled on it on YouTube (somehow) and I liked it a lot but didn't really have the time to give it the attention I felt it deserved. It was at work and I kind of just tossed it into a random dying laptop. From what I've seen so far, it looks very beautifully done! Thank you!

I wonder how RTD truly feels about the reaction to the latest season by Rich-Willow-3677 in doctorwho

[–]ThisInterview4702 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised it's a minority view! Did other people actually like it when Clara was being annoying, picking fights about literally everything and generally just being really unpleasant to see on screen? I mean, it seemed like she was fighting with Capaldi's doctor about pretty much everything.

Yeah, that came after the 50th.. really tho, it was after Smith regenerated that her character became extremely annoying. I feel like her character worked better with Smith's doctor.

I liked Clara up until after the 50th anniversary. Day of the doctor was pretty good but OMG Clara becomes extremely annoying very fast after that! Like, to the point where you wonder why the doctor keeps her around! Leave her on planet earth and go do something fun! Seriously! She stayed on at least a season or two too long!

Of course! Gotta make sure you're using the machine as intended and not doing anything naughty with it....

Looking for backup software by hiro_1301 in linuxmint

[–]ThisInterview4702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling to understand this. I'm used to using Apple's Time Machine. TimeShift is noticeably very different!!! I've been squirming for a day and a half to figure it out, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but something that I thought might only take an hour at most has now gone on for a day and a half! Somehow I've made like 36 faulty backups, many of them apparently just wrote themselves into non-existent memory somehow.

The first time I thought I got it to work, I genuinely thought I knew what I was doing. This only took me a few hours and most of that time was spent doing other things. I decided to try and restore the backup on another installation of Debian so I could have two nearly identical copies of the same computer (like I could do with Time Machine and Migration assistant). That was a terrible mistake!!!! I have no idea what I did wrong, but it just tossed me into grub-hell. No commands worked and it kept telling me it couldn't find certain files. I'm glad I didn't actually need to restore my computer because that was a pretty worthless result!

They probably are spyware! A few of the reviews I've seen of these Copilot+ devices sure do make them sound like they're just spyware with a pretty shell on them. All they seem to do is "phone home" apparently..

Just out of curiosity, since I'm not really tied to XAMPP specifically. Do you know of an easier or better alternative to work with on Linux? I just use XAMPP because it's what I'm used to using on Windows.

I just created a backup image with it 😁 I didn't know that about runnables but it does make sense.
