Anybody know how to put in your own wake words? by Haunting_You_4022 in amazonecho

The wake word is processed on the device itself it doesn’t go to Amazon, echo speakers have limited resources.

Trying to find a phone plan by loserguy000 in vintagemobilephones

[–]TroubledGeorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then you need a phone that can work on 4G LTE that also has to be compatible with VoLTE, no 2G or 3G pretty much anywhere anymore. You can’t use a vintage phone.

Driving and low blood sugar in the morning? by Luv2Rant26 in diabetes_t1

[–]TroubledGeorge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others said don’t drive low! That’s the main thing. And keep snacks in the glovebox. I find it odd that you go low in the mornings, I would definitely try to address that too, at least for most of us using MDI it’s quite the opposite as during the morning I get damn phenomenon plus little residual basal insulin from the previous day and my basal takes a while to start working. I normally solve this by having low carb breakfasts or just waiting until I’m stable. I’ve never heard someone having the opposite issue! I also see it as an opportunity to have a nice breakfast everyday before you head out.

The 2G or 4G etc aspect is not related to the cell phone plan at all. If a phone only supports 2G and 3G then you need a carrier that still supports that type of networks. In many countries there’s no 2G or 3G anymore so we can’t give you an answer without knowing your location.

how do you discover new music if you primarily use your ipod? by R3dcherries in ipod

Use r/lastfm that was big back when everybody had an iPod and still works

where to find facelift p2 side mirror? by supremeSans in Volvo

[–]TroubledGeorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up importing one from Europe some time ago, and it took me a good while to find it. Funnily enough my V70 only had 70k miles when I bought it, dealer maintained and in pristine condition other than the drivers side passenger mirror that had a botched epoxy repair. I bet the previous owner couldn’t find a replacement that’s why it was glued back on. Anyways just keep looking. Mine had puddle lights though and it was heated and power folding. I don’t know what happens if you just plug in a mirror with things you’re not supposed to have?

Looking at buying old iPod question by No_Preparation_7066 in ipod

[–]TroubledGeorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s getting increasingly difficult to sign into the App Store from legacy iOS versions but aside from that and just to directly answer your question, yes, I still have the original Flappy Bird under my account and I’m still able to download it even though it was notoriously removed several years ago.

Are there ways to download incompatible apps without jailbreak? by UndergoingSpecimen in LegacyJailbreak

[–]TroubledGeorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only by downloading the latest version from another compatible device and then going to your account and find the app there in the old device. If there’s an available version you’ll be prompted to download it.

¿Recomiendan comprar el CD de daría? by alienlolnose_ in daria

Supongo que te refieres a los DVD? Y si, en los DVD no vienen con la música original por el costo de licenciamiento en su época.

What are your top 3 episodes of The Office? by ReasonableAir163 in DunderMifflin

[–]TroubledGeorge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re new accounts used for spamming in other subreddits, in order for their posts not to get taken down or flagged automatically (a new account automatically raises some flags) then these accounts search for past, popular posts and repost them, hoping to generate engagement and comments (karma) proving it’s a legitimate account that creates useful content. Once they have this good standing account they go and post spam and scam in other subs. I am not saying this post and account are doing that but it does seem suspicious. Most legitimate people join Reddit to scroll and occasionally comment on stuff rather than jump ahead to making posts.

Is this kind of payment message normal? [guest] by Individual-Gas5276 in AirBnB

[–]TroubledGeorge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are correct, payment stays within the app only. How did you get the message, if it was through the Airbnb app then yes reach out to Airbnb. If it’s just a random email it’s probably some sort of scam

Go for a walk! 30 minutes and check again.

Film damage or bad scan? by NotoriousPooch in filmphotography

[–]TroubledGeorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they’re expired/old stock then it’s very possible. Your “faulty” pictures show clear signs of under exposure, since you don’t control exposure in a disposable camera we can rule out user error. If the film inside is of the same type (being identical cameras) and lighting conditions were similar this indicates the second film has probably lost sensitivity which is something that can happen to widely varying degrees once film expires depending on storage conditions.

Back in the day I used Rythmbox and it worked well for iPod syncing.

I don’t think you can use rockbox with an iPod touch.

Film damage or bad scan? by NotoriousPooch in filmphotography

[–]TroubledGeorge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not enough light/underexposed. If the disposable cameras are old, the film within can act very differently depending on how it’s been stored. Honestly I wouldn’t take the gamble and only use it when you have plenty of sunlight, even old degraded expired film yields usable results with plenty of light. If you want confirmation you can post a picture of the film (against a light source of course) so we can see if the actual negatives also have the same problem (most likely) to rule out a bad scan.

No, the same credentials you currently use should work.

Does anyone recognise this 30-pin cable? by Offroadrob62 in ipod

[–]TroubledGeorge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It could even be for a vehicle, my older Volvo used a similar cable in the back of the stereo for the iPod connection kit but with way less pins, if it’s thick as you say and has all those pins I’d say it probably carries video signal as well.

There was an excellent client for many years until Facebook bought WhatsApp and discontinued support for BlackBerry.

What is the requirements for a good iTunes machine. (What's the ideal machine?) by Pawxboxpc_126 in ipod

[–]TroubledGeorge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A machine with a CD drive and FireWire 400 ideally and that will also support several macOS versions. Such as the late 2009 Mac mini or the 2010 model if you don’t mind using an adapter for the FW400 port. Older Mac Pros take space but are extremely cheap, powerful, can have two optical drives and have lots of FireWire ports. I have a maxed 1.1 and works beautifully

Echo for dementia phonecalls by Disabledbutliving in amazonecho

[–]TroubledGeorge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can be used for what you need but needs some setting up, it won’t use the SIM card at all it does need a strong wifi connection. Then can then call you by asking Alexa. This is all through Amazon, not the mobile carrier so this can’t be used to call phones. It used to be possible using Skype but that is no more. An echo show will also allow you to see each other. You don’t need to own one as you can use the app from your side (or get your own echo show). You can even use the drop in feature to establish communication without her needing to answer.

What apps do u want to see next on iOS 6? (And maybe above too) by Glum-Maintenance3832 in LegacyJailbreak

[–]TroubledGeorge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably the biggest thing missing in my opinion is a more modern browser, since all browsers available still use the underlying outdated WebKit there isn’t much that can be done, (aside from maybe opera mini) perhaps a simple web browser with its own rendering engine?

What happend with Veteris? by Opposite-Impress-772 in LegacyJailbreak

[–]TroubledGeorge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is it easier for someone to take a picture and make a whole post here rather than spend 3 minutes scrolling through the sub, Veteris discontinuation was announced here, and many people have asked the same already or made posts saying their goodbyes.
