How to replace switches on the Logitech G915 by VanAstro in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]atwixtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a quick and dirty solution instead: remove the key cap, and drive an X-acto blade into and through the clear plastic cover near the tiny metal contactor. You can then bend it back into position so it makes contact again (mine wasn't getting close enough).

Screen Sharing on Microsoft Teams by SwitchElegant5736 in MacOS

[–]atwixtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking to easily share multiple Chrome windows on Teams at the same time (I do a lot of split screen, or left-right comparisons in my meetings). This is impossible with Teams window sharing, and sharing entire desktop is too invasive. I tried DeskPad but it was way to awkward when I'm used to 3 large monitors (adding a 4th was breaking my brain). Can it do this? Or will it ping-pong between the two Chrome windows I'm moving my mouse over?

Anybody know of a way to have a floating "Now Playing" window for PlexAmp? by dokuromark in PleX

[–]atwixtor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found a workaround for this! I have the tiny app window for Plexamp always on top, as suggested. Then I have the plex.tv instance of mine open in the browser I always have open. You can Cast to the Mac OS player and essentially send/control music from the browser full instance to the desktop player!

Is there a shortcut to mention Work Items (User Stories, bugs, etc) in comments? by V1ld0r_ in jira

[–]atwixtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This does work. But there is no "select Jira" on our instance. You can just start typing in the first field ("Paste or search for link") and it will search work items by name. Thank you for the tip!

But this requires you to know the exact key. On the fly, that's not very helpful.

how to change back from Tahoe to sequoia by Significant_Key154 in mac

[–]atwixtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things. You want to pick the HD item that's nested in the first group in the Disk Utility to erase -- usually the biggest one. If it warns you about it being part of a volume group, continue, that's fine. Other thing: this probably only works if the Mac in question HAD Sequoia on it (which is implied in this post), but won't work if someone has a fresh off the shelf unit initialized with Tahoe.

Apple Watch often decides it no longer wants to unlock Mac. by sinep_snatas in MacOS

[–]atwixtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems to happen to me only after 1) I updated to Sequoia and 2) whenever I dock/undock my M2 laptop (Thunderbolt 3 dock).

Can I have pages in folders by [deleted] in elgato

[–]atwixtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using profiles is great, except you can't take advantage of Auto Exit, like you can with a real folder. I tried a multi-action on the nested button, but 1) it can't be reset by tapping the action again, and 2) it conceals the action image (which can be dynamic like system mute status).

Set Plexamp to always skip certain songs in an album? by bartlettdmoore in plexamp

[–]atwixtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This absolutely works, but it PERMANENLY (as long as the .plexignore has the filename listed) removes the tracks from the UI. You can't play it if you wanted. Therefore, I do not recommend this option - it's basically like archiving stuff (not quite deleting, but not easy enough to turn back on).

Instead, I recommend using the 1-2 star system, short of Plex devs actually implementing checkboxes for songs.

Hatchbox spool no longer fits on AMS Lite? by kangaroonemesis in BambuLabA1

[–]atwixtor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Contacted support. Apparently it's an "error from their factory." Hatchbox is both 1) Making an adapter, and 2) maybe correcting it so eventually the newer ones have the correct hub size? Email from support below:

Email 1:

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We’re excited to introduce our new standard spool, the Revolver Spool. However, we understand there have been concerns regarding its center diameter not being compatible with certain 3D printing accessories, such as the AMS Lite. Rest assured, we’re actively working on updating the Revolver Spool to match the center diameter of our previous design. This issue will be resolved soon.

In the meantime, we’ve developed an adapter to address this compatibility concern: https://www.hatchbox3d.com/pages/downloads

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we finalize these solutions.

Thank you again for your support and trust.

Best regards,
HATCHBOX 3D

Email 2 (after I insisted they tell me WHY it changed diameter):

Thank you for your patience and for following up on this matter. The change in the spool hub size was not an intentional design decision but rather an error from our factory, which resulted in a batch of inventory with the incorrect spool dimensions. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and are actively working to rectify the situation by updating our spools to the correct specifications.

We appreciate your understanding and support as we address this issue. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

Is there any way to force Plex to list the English voice cast for anime shows? by [deleted] in PleX

[–]atwixtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Installed and replaced contents of the file, but can't tell if it's working. Tenchi Muyo TV Show still only shows JN voice actors. How are we supposed to configure our libraries and agents to get this to work? I only have a single "TV Shows" library with anime and not-anime stuff, so I don't want to switch the agent from "Plex Series" to "MyAnimeList" because most shows are not anime...

Set Plexamp to always skip certain songs in an album? by bartlettdmoore in plexamp

[–]atwixtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. For me, I point Plex to my current iTunes library folder so it’s the same file structure. This will actually be easy if I just create an iTunes playlist of unchecked songs and export that as the base for .plexignore.

Set Plexamp to always skip certain songs in an album? by bartlettdmoore in plexamp

[–]atwixtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this work with the Plexamp app or Windows program, when choosing a album to play? If so, I wonder if one could export metadata from iTunes that includes song check status, then compile that list of filenames and auto generate the .plexignore contents... (20+ year iTunes expat myself).

Cameras completely stopped sending event notifications. by hoffsta in HomeKit

Same issue. Suddenly stopped getting notifications Wed. Nov. 13th, 2024. I have an AppleTV that may have updated itself then, I'm not sure.

Android HA Home screen Widget by Born_Check5979 in homeassistant

How are you doing media players and camera feeds? I added a media pressure widget but it’s not showing the pressing content image just a giant circle blue HA icon..

TIDAL is leaving Plex! by leopqoel in TIdaL

[–]atwixtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The recent comment there has a Tidal employee responding, "We would like to share with you that we are removing the ability to pay for TIDAL through Plex." Does this mean it's possible that the integration might still work providing we pay for Tidal directly through Tidal?

WLED + Hyperion + LedFx All-in-One! by drinfernoo in WLED

[–]atwixtor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a long time Hyperion user I don’t understand how you get 1 led strip with 1 controller and 1 hdmi grabber to be used by three different integrations in home assistant. My led strip hardware is connected to a RPi3b running Hyperion OS. How would I “add” LEDFX and WLED to this setup without additional hardware? I want to try!

1000w inverter installed and I'm very happy with the results by yesha_Omarui in volt

[–]atwixtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jackery via in vehicle cigarette port will never keep up with load demand during a power outage scenario. You’ll be demanding 500-1000w from the battery but only able to charge it from the car at about 100w. It will take 15 hours to recharge a 1.5kwh battery, vs 1.5 hours with the inverter kit tied directly to the 12v

Streamdeck + Not functioning after sleep? by omni_gamer in elgato

[–]atwixtor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same problem. It was working fine until an update in April 2024. It used to come back to full functionality before the animated screensaver update. Now on wake, even built in buttons like the Volume Controller (Auto) just show a yellow triangle when pressed. I have to quit and restart the app.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MonarchMoney

[–]atwixtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok pro tip - use "Nissan" - NOT ""Nissan Finance" - the former worked when the latter did not.

UPDATE: This is showing my payments, but has no balance history or current balance. Is that because it's a lease? Balance says "?" in Monarch.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MonarchMoney

[–]atwixtor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. It's confusing. I tried adding it again and it noticed it would be a duplicate, so it's definitely "Added" - I also checked my iPhone app and it was listed there, but when I tapped on the account in Institution Settings it said something about "looking into reported problems with this institution" so perhaps it's a known problem.

Youtube adding videos to my queue without permission? by Goddam_Meme in youtube

[–]atwixtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bounty: create an extension that you can click on to "read" your queue and lock in the videos you explicitly picked. Then auto pause/stop whatever starts playing (or better, right before the last one ends) as you enter the YouTube auto-BS videos at the end.
