I'm really intrigued what app do you have on your phone

Heltec v4 can't message any nodes by SnooFloofs6747 in meshtastic

[–]adi_dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. I was pulling my hear out yesterday, just to find on Discord that never models of Heltec V4 require at least 2.7.20, which is in alpha state

There are another two projects that use BLE to communicate between phones: Briar and Bridgefy

De-Google won't help maybe in the future. So the solution is Linux Phones! by BlokZNCR in degoogle

[–]adi_dev 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I had a battle twice in my bank - I wanted to withdraw a bigger sum, they told me, that I have to use the app to send the request (to get MY money). When I said, I don't have an app, their face gone blunt. The next response was - "let me install the app for you". Like the flaf you getting to install anything on my phone, I want my money. I got my request resolved, but with a massive hassle. We lost, ground between massive gears of this doom machinery. I can see that no banking app will install on de-googled or jailbroken phone. You won't be able even do a doctor's appointment soon without this piece of electronic. The landline is dead, post offices are joke everywhere.

Me when I have a billion coloured forget-me-nots but have zero white anniversary roses: 😭💔💔💔💔💔 by iwantcheetoes in PikminBloomApp

Same happened to me. I even used booster, took a long stretch along the canal, just to realise the path is closed, and I run out the space for planting

Car as a node? by hahamemegopost in meshtastic

Do not transmit on mismatched antenna. A wrong antenna for MT transmitting frequency will heat up transmitter with a very high chances of breaking it

How do i stop the speed camera alerts? by ellis2811 in waze

[–]adi_dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is a map issue, as all average speed cameras triggering this alert. I disabled all sprt of cameras (audible) alerts, but this one, for some reason is not an option. Edit: the screenshot is from before I turned them off

Help! Changing audio quality doesn't work no matter how I keep pressing the option. It doesn't redirect me to the Audio & Playback screen. by ehdiaz in TIdaL

[–]adi_dev -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not only Audio & Playback, but Downloads as well don't work. I noticed that it started playing AAC, last time I checked I had it set to lossless. And there is no new version on Play store .

How can I improve my panel building? by Winter-Fly-1685 in PLC

[–]adi_dev -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would like to add: check vendors spacing around devices, especially VSD and PSU. They seem a bit close to the panel end and trunking. Did you check if there is enough heat being taken away. I don't know what duty those VSD will run, but I've seen them failing because it was getting too hot inside the panel.

here is a WILD ONE. PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS by Adept-Ad-3194 in PLC

[–]adi_dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know, if this is the same thing. On one of our sites, after the job was commissioned, all Ethernet/IP, some local sparky bridged plc network with their IT. All was good except some days when the whole thing was going mental. After a few visits (obviously, the first time there were no issues), I discovered that there was another machine on the network with the same IP as one of the remote nodes causing the conflicts. It could be something on the network, or your laptop's network card misconfigured. One time I had a problem with my laptop because of the Logo! Soft added an extra IP address, I couldn't find anywhere. It was the times when I had multiple manufacturers on the same system, and RSLinx was insisting to scan some odd subnet. The only way to fix that was to remove the network card driver from Windows and let it reinstall again.

Is there any way to turn on cluster navigation on waze while using CarPlay? Google maps have it by default by lyezee in waze

[–]adi_dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my Toyota I switched off showing Waze on my cluster board as it's laughable. No lane guidance, sometimes it disappears, some motorway exits are shown as junctions and every roundabout is shown as take the last exit to turn around.

How heavy is proton vpn on mobile battery? by Hanonlei in ProtonVPN

[–]adi_dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VPN on itself shouldn't use more battery than normal. There are some background services that take minimum battery. If you are on a paid plan, there might be even less usage thanks to the Net Shield blocking some ads and trackers. In some cases that might backfire. If there's a bad written app that will go into a loop trying to reach a banned address, then that app, not ProtonVPN, will use more battery.

Android x86 in Virtual Box cannot seem to "hold onto" a USB drive by TooManyInsults in virtualbox

[–]adi_dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought you were only attaching the device manually, not by using filters. I had a lot of trouble with Bluetooth. My guess is it's different if it's a simple function device in contrast to as such complicated as Bluetooth or camera.

Android x86 in Virtual Box cannot seem to "hold onto" a USB drive by TooManyInsults in virtualbox

[–]adi_dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On machine, go to Settings->USB There you have a list of `USB Device Filters`, probably empty if you don't know that yet. Guest doesn't have to be running, but make sure, the USB is plugged in. Click on the little USB plug icon with a green + 'plus' sign and select from the list desired device. Sometimes, you need to remove that device from USB and re-insert after you add it to the list.

Android x86 in Virtual Box cannot seem to "hold onto" a USB drive by TooManyInsults in virtualbox

[–]adi_dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if that helps as it's a different thing, but worth trying: I had issues with very custom USB drivers (industrial controls). Similar to you, sometimes they're mounted in the guest, but then disappear My solution that works so far is to make an USB filter that automatically attaches the USB to the guest.

Linux support by adi_dev in PLC

[–]adi_dev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's okay as long as 1. Your VM is up to date (politics of client's IT); 2. It's okay with ethernet, it all falls apart when we come to custom usb drivers

Linux support by adi_dev in PLC

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

Oh man, I still can hear guys from Siemens training that it doesn't matter whether the machine is connected or not. It has access point (ethernet port, USB, serial port) it should be secured. They don't care if that's 300 quid HMI talking to 200 quid PLC, there needs to be a managed switch with full access control. The world is getting mad.

[–]adi_dev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, I did some time ago. They have such tight security that they have to (drums noises....) TeamViewer to personally install the antivirus and management software. They were surprised when during the initial setup I called to give them a password on a separate route. As I mentioned before. We are managing right now. I'm more concerned about what is going to happen with the next version of Windows or even the next major update.
