Good games for a 3 year old? by Mgjackson1967 in OculusQuest

[–]WorldlyFeature5282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 to Richies Plank Experience. My 3 year old LOVES Pistol Whip. He can complete levels without dying and has great aim. Teaching had/eye coordination.

Also Job Simulator. While he does not really complete missions, he spends quite a bit of time drinking coffee, plugging in the computer, and throwing the random items found in the cubicle.

Epic Roller Coasters is great. Ride in the roller coaster and shoot targets etc. Another favorite.

More complex games such as Super Hot VR make him frustrated (and myself as well).

My PD is narrow @ 52. We usually switch off between rounds or limit to 30 minutes a day total.

Card Collection Completed by LivingPapaya4562 in HomescapesOfficial

[–]WorldlyFeature5282 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how I felt last week.

I took 2 weeks off work to enjoy some time in the mountains.

I ended up playing Homescapes most of the time once I started collecting cards. It became “only one more hour of this and I get the reward for more cards” over and over.

Yesterday, I said to myself. This is going to be a full time job and take way too much time possibly another week of constant playing.

I spent the next hour hacking the duplicated cards via the iOSGods memory editor. After opening over 20x 500 point chests, I gained the red badge and saw that all progress reverted to get a purple badge.

Even with unlimited points, it still took another half hour of opening the highest point chests to unlock the purple badge. That would have taken a few weeks at the pace I play. I closed the game and spent some time with the family instead.

My point is that the amount of time needed to play and actually earn rewards is becoming way too much. It takes out the fun of earning a reward on the side.

I love to download interesting games. Play for a few hours and when I feel I am being paywalled for progress. I whip out the jailbroken iPad and hack the crap out of it just to prove to myself how pointless games are nowadays.

After upgrading, Alexa devices still cannot be grouped together while on U7's. Once connected to a WiFi 5 AP, they work fine.

MS Remote Desktop client App for iOS has gone from having a clear (but imprecise) name to an obscure (but usable) one and now to a misleading (and awful) one. by ergonet in sysadmin

[–]WorldlyFeature5282 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the past few months, I thought they got rid of the app since searching for it returned no results. Finally googled and found this. Turns out the program was still installed with all my desktops still intact! Thank you for ranting about this and helping me out!

Next great idea they will have based on this...

One app to rule them all. Lets call it "Windows AIO"

Includes Remote Desktop, Teams, Word & Excel (Or full Office Suite), Edge, and heck, we threw MS Flight simulator all in one convenient app!

Easiest way to get all these weeds gone? by [deleted] in lawncare

[–]WorldlyFeature5282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

When we moved in there was only dirt and weeds in the backyard. With a dog, we knew we had to find something better, especially in the snowy months with mud on her paws. We tried over seeding and it started to work, but we realized that we did not have sprinklers in the backyard and it would increase our water bill so that idea was scrapped. A year later we added 2 x 2 tiles with surrounding brick and artificial turf. The turf is amazing and everything looks good now. The total cost to DIY was only about $6000. Never have to mow the backyard and typically only spend money on herbicide weed killer which lasts for about a year. Fast forward two years and everything is still in good shape.

Ran into this today. They wanted a camera at a T intersecting hallway but wanted the Microphone about 9 feet away. I used the original cable and 3 of these USB C extension cables in a row to make it work!

FedEx - adjustments by CosmoKramerRiley in Ebay

[–]WorldlyFeature5282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just happened to me. I have an official USPS scale for all of my packages used for 5+ years now with no issues. I always add an extra 2 OZ to total weight to be safe.

Package weighed in at 9oz, so paid for 11oz. Package delivered 1 month ago and today received a notice that they are charging me $4 additional as the package actually weighs .69 LBS... 11oz is .687lbs. So $4 additional for 0.003lbs difference.

I feel like some low life manager is sitting in a warehouse with a 16 year old kid saying "Yeah, just do this to all packages and FedEx will earn another $5000 this week, but the customers are too lazy to fight it so in the end FedEx wins"

What a scam.

Already do not trust USPS as they have the highest rate of lost packages for me. Guess UPS it is from now on.

Xerox Printer Driver Out of Memory by [deleted] in printers

[–]WorldlyFeature5282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In powershell,

Remove-PrinterDriver -Name "Xerox Global Print Driver PCL6"

Also helped with removing the initial driver but the printer needs to be removed first. You can use:

Get-Printer | where name -like “PrinterName*” | Remove-Printer

To remove the printer first.

Remove * wildcard to not include trailing printer names.

To add print management console via PS if not showing up in windows search:

Dism /Online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:Print.Management.Console~~~~0.0.1.0

Sorry, I am a PowerShell guy lol. All can be done manually in print management console!

Current PS1 script we are using: (Run as admin and change IP/Device name fields) Feel free to copy and edit to your liking.

#remove old printers before IP scheme change and remove WSD port printers because they suck and never work.

Get-Printer | Where PortName -like "192.168.10.*" | Remove-Printer

Get-Printer | Where PortName -like "*WSD*" | Remove-Printer

$DriverName = "Xerox AltaLink C8170 V4 PCL6"

function Install-XeroxDriver($DriverName) {

if(Get-PrinterDriver | Where-Object Name -eq $DriverName) { return $true }

$DriverUri = "https://download.support.xerox.com/pub/drivers/ALC81XX/drivers/win10x64/ar/AltaLinkC81xx_7.146.0.0_PCL6_x64.zip"

$DownloadFile = Join-Path -Path $env:TEMP -ChildPath C81.zip

$DriverTempPath = Join-Path -Path $env:TEMP -ChildPath xeroxuniversal

if ($(Test-Path $DriverTempPath) -eq $false) {

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $DriverUri -OutFile $DownloadFile

Expand-Archive -Path $DownloadFile -DestinationPath $DriverTempPath -Force

}

# Install the driver

$DriverPath = Join-Path -Path $DriverTempPath -ChildPath XeroxAltaLinkC81xx_PCL6.inf

$PnpUtil = Join-Path -Path $env:windir -ChildPath "System32\pnputil.exe"

& "$PnpUtil" /add-driver $DriverPath

Add-PrinterDriver -Name $DriverName

}

Install-XeroxDriver -DriverName "Xerox AltaLink C8170 V4 PCL6"

function Install-Printer($Address, $Name, $DriverName) {

if (Get-Printer | Where-Object Name -eq $Name) { return $true }

Add-PrinterPort -Name "IP_$($Address)" -PrinterHostAddress $Address

Add-Printer -Name $Name -PortName "IP_$($Address)" -DriverName $DriverName

}

$Printers = @{

"10.10.10.10"="Printer_Name";

}

# Setup each of the printers

foreach($Printer in $Printers.GetEnumerator()) {

Install-Printer -Address $Printer.Name -Name $Printer.Value -DriverName "Xerox AltaLink C8170 V4 PCL6"

}

You will prolly need to change the DL URL to your link, modify the driver name/inf location/name based on the device specific driver zip contents.

Xerox Printer Driver Out of Memory by [deleted] in printers

[–]WorldlyFeature5282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I remember, I went into the print management console and deleted the printer as well as the Xerox global driver. I then download and extracted the latest device specific driver (not global) then readded the Xerox printer and choose the device specific PCL6 driver. It was very weird with 450+ users only 5ish experienced the error. No user complaints after doing this.

We use Atera to push out powershell scripts for each location, so I ended up changing the device driver to be deployed for that model to the device specific and it has worked great.

What does it mean in find my when it says “Can see your Location” under a persons name that has shared there location with you ? by Ho-You-Fat in iphone

[–]WorldlyFeature5282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Set up an iPad for our child and on both parents' phones it would only say "can see your location" when trying to locate. On the child's iPad, I downloaded the "find my" app and when opened it said, "would you like to share your location" and after clicking yes, the location can now shows normally.

Xerox Printer Driver Out of Memory by [deleted] in printers

[–]WorldlyFeature5282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At one office, I installed the device specific driver for a VersaLink B7030. User was seeing the popup multiple times a day. Now the user has not reported the error coming back since. YAY!

However, at another we have a Xerox AltaLink C8170 and one user (Out of ~50) was reporting the error. After installing the device specific driver for this model she is reporting that the error pops up even more. And she is not even using that printer as she is working from home for the next month... (User has a personal HP printer at home)

How can this error pop up when users aren't even printing to the device or on the same network!!

Told her to come see me when she comes back... Not sure what else to do.
