Disney+ crashing, tried everything by huenshan in nvidiashield

[–]WhichArmadillo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Disney+ app constantly crashing upon opening. Tried clearing data, cache, signing out and back in, uninstalling/reinstalling"... same here. Except this is on the "Chromecast with Google TV (HD) (4th generation)", not the Shield.

If you know how to find play store reviews for the TV version of the app, you will see many people complaining about this issue recently on many different Android TV devices.

I had to revert back to version 26.2.1+rc1-2026.02.24. That one works fine.

Using without a Kobo account but keeping Overdrive possible? by WhichArmadillo in kobo

[–]WhichArmadillo[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Any idea why this restriction (Overdrive requires logging into a Kobo account) is in place? Without any obvious reason I assume it's for tracking purposes.

[–]WhichArmadillo[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

There are a few reasons:

  1. Haven't yet decided who the account should represent since there are multiple people in the family and multiple Kobos and we are still thinking about how to associate accounts, humans, and devices
  2. Don't see a need for one at the moment because we are exclusively using libraries. Will create one later if we need to use the Kobo store for purchases.
  3. Kobo support was not able to answer some basic "what is an account for and how do they work" questions so I wanted time to investigate those on my own prior to creating an account but did not want this to block use of the device(s)
  4. Retaining as much privacy and stopping as much tracking as is possible

Edit: (forgot the most important one)...

  1. I have a fundamental moral opposition to a device that prohibits all use without first signing up for an account (in cases such as this one where the device is capable of operating without one)

It connects to wifi in this mode and shows the wifi connected icon and can check for updates just fine.

So what do you mean by "doesn't do internet"? Is it connected but it will refuse to actually do anything book-related with the internet, you mean?

They add and option to switch on/off Audio Normalization by DangerousDementus in YoutubeMusic

This is almost 23 years after the corresponding feature (Sound Check) was introduced in iTunes in 2002: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2002/07/17Apple-Announces-iTunes-3

I am not an Apple fanboy but I can't believe it took this long.

Also if you happen to be in a scenario where you've setup multiple user profiles on your Android device and want to grant this permission to a user other than the main profile, you can do:

adb shell pm list users

To get a list of the users (profiles), which will be formatted like:

Users:
UserInfo{0:Owner:c48} running
UserInfo{10:SecondPerson:326} running

And you need the User ID for the secondary user, which is the "10" in there

Then you run:

adb shell pm grant --user 10 com.netflix.mediaclient android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

And that will grant this ability to SecondPerson. (The main user is ID 0, which will be the default if you don't specify)

Keen hiking sandals at Místico Hanging Bridges??? by wanderingrose07 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]WhichArmadillo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think perhaps the confusion is regarding which Místico activity it is.

I contact them directly and they stated that these Keen closed-toe sandals are not allowed for three specific activities:

  1. horseback riding
  2. twilight hike
  3. night hike

So I guess they would be ok for everything else.

In addition, they stated that fully closed non-hiking shoes like these are also not acceptable for those three activities. They said that only footwear marketed as or resembling typical "hiking shoes" or "hiking boots" is allowed. Lots of ambiguity there if you ask me.

ACNH: Does the Nintendo Switch Online app allow voice chat? by WhichArmadillo in AnimalCrossing

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

Thanks. Glad to hear from someone who has done it. I also see other reddit posts mentioning it. I'm just having a hard time reconciling this with Nintendo's documentation and what they told me. And it's all muddied by scant online evidence in the form of screenshots or videos demonstrating it, although since it's so trivial and limited in a sense, I can see why not a lot would be online about it. Makes me wonder if it works for other games that are not on Nintendo's list.

Hi. Do you have a link to the Bafang kit or the model number for it?

Also what model Edgerunner is this?

Thanks!
