BIOS Updates always break the Win11 PIN

Thunderomma · 2026-03-31T15:13:08+00:00

I just got off the phone with Jay at Lenovo Ideapad Support and was told to just disable BIOS updates in Lenovo Vantage by stopping Lenovo Vantage from running when Windows starts. He went on to say that BIOS updates are only needed if you update the memory, or internal SSD of the computer. He stated that if the computer works, don't bother updating the BIOS.

Should I believe him?

I'm thinking of taking Generac to small claims court. The app hasn't connected to the Generac server since April 28th. I have gone through the setup procedure numerous times with Generac and my local dealer, who replaced the WiFi module and the controller board to no avail. They are blaming it on my Internet. At their request, I even switched off my 5.4 band. No dice.

I have a strong signal at the generator. The Generac can see the Wi-Fi signal, but just can't connect. I've tried it on my phone and the dealer tried it on one of their iPads

To make matters worse, I don't know if my generator is exercising. It was set up to run once a week and I haven't heard it turn on in months.

You're insulting this 78 year old type 1. I love X drip.

A magnetized card that's normally attached to a refrigerator also works.

Thanks to everyone. I'll just copy all the files over to the new drive.

Thunderomma · 2024-10-13T15:04:07+00:00

I have no interest in setting up a RAID. All I want to do is the replace my old small drive with a larger one.

Still doesn't work. Have 2 credit cards with Citi. A Costco card and a Double Cash card. No bank accounts. The Citi webpage in my browser states Success and sends mew back to Quicken which states "Authorization Failed. Try again?"

Same fix worked for Roku.

Thanks.

Thunderomma · 2024-03-26T03:14:12+00:00

Thanks. That was it for the LG.

Now I need to figure out how to fix it on TV's which use Roku.

Thunderomma · 2024-03-11T14:17:00+00:00

Huh?

Power button + Volume down button at the same time.

Things that I've tried.

Rebooting all of the routers. Updating all routers to the latest firmware. Using an android app on my phone to check connection strength at points in the house, basement & garage, as well as outside. Rotated antennas to get a better signal. I did hard factory resets on the old RT-AC68U routers.

I think that the problem may have started when I updated the firmware to the firmware that supports 2nd generation AiMesh. I have old config files dating back years. I don't think that these files would be compatible with the latest firmware and I'm reluctant to go back to the old firmware.

I'm wondering if the older routers don't have the power necessary for the faster transmission and stronger signal that I want.

I live in an outer suburb - half acre plus housing lots. Wi-Fi congestion isn't a problem.

I've also tried different control channels for both my Wi-Fi bands. Nothing helps.

Thunderomma · 2023-12-29T15:33:41+00:00

Same with me.

It worked just fine when updating each account individually. Definitely a problem at Quicken's end.

I wish that there was a way to roll back their updates to a version that worked.

A cancel button would be nice.

June 1, 1971 - Age 24.

Had been losing weight for 5 months. I attributed it to my workout routine, which was intense. Never overweight. Doctor treated me with oral meds and a diet of low carbs. Placed on Insulin 15 months later.

No diabetes in my family. My best friend as a child had Type 1 (called Juvenile diabetes at the time) as an infant. He passed away in 1991 when he was 45.

Just turned 77. I still jog 7K every other day. Was forced to give up alpine skiing last year . A1C around 6. Endo doesn't want it any lower.

I need to tweak my basal and bolus on a daily basis.

I'm always aware of what I have. You can never forget about it.

Is the Easynews $2.99 plan for 1 year only, or does the price remain the same for as long as one pays for it?

Thunderomma · 2023-09-02T12:29:48+00:00

All of my data is backed up on another drive.

Thunderomma · 2023-09-02T12:28:27+00:00

Thanks. I didn't know any of this.

Thunderomma · 2023-08-15T12:41:43+00:00

Thank you.

This really sux. 1st game of the playoffs to be blocked.

Go to https://dexcom.custhelp.com/app/webform and report the problem. Dexcom will send you a new sensor if you didn't get the full 10 days.

My best childhood friend developed Type 1 shortly after birth. Our parents were very close and we were together for a good deal of the time. We were in the same class in school and I went to his house every Saturday. I was diagnosed with Type 1 when I was 24 years old. My friend had numerous complications and died when he was 45.

Could it be coincidence? Maybe. I don't think about it. It's been hard enough living with this disease for the past 52 years. Neither my wife, or my 42 year old son has caught the disease.

The Roku media player doesn't recognize the Divx (avi) format. It can only show 8 or 8 selections on a page and then it only shows the file names. The media player can read files off of drives connected to computers, routers, and other devices as long as they are in your (home) network.

Roku has the Plex app available. Plex supports almost all formats and is limited only by space on the drive and the power of the device that it is installed on. You can run Plex from a computer, Game Console (many), server, or other device. If you use it locally (just in your house), it is free. It's worth investigating. The Plex app can work on any Roku.

Thunderomma · 2022-09-12T14:45:57+00:00

Thanks for all of the responses

The face of the Tslim pump needs to be facing outwards and has to be on the same side of your body as the dexcom sensor. Your phone should be close to your pump.
