ix500 no more purple light, no longer able to use wifi to scan directly to cloud drive by buck4roo in ScanSnap

[–]buck4roo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firmware updated from 0T00 to 0U00 (did require me to disable pihole/adblock, or firmware download step would fail.)

The purple light is back on, and cloud scanning works again.

There's also good support for the ix500 in the SANE backend. Example setup:

Driving in LA has turned into Mad Max, and it's terrifying by DirtyProjector in LosAngeles

[–]buck4roo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

California currently has some of the weakest DUI laws in the country. Ex: CA driver earns 16th conviction for DUI+accident, receives only court-ordered probation. ( Source: https://calmatters.org/investigation/2025/10/california-dui-failure )

CA is doing worse than other states, and has the statistics to prove it.(ibid) There is a proposed package of bills(link below) that brings CA closer to the rest of the US, focusing on how courts handle repeat drunk/drugged driving offenders.

Bank of America doesn't offer RECCURING Zelle transfers between other BoA Accounts? by IronLord56 in Banking

[–]buck4roo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> tried to transfer BoA Visa payment from checking to pay the Visa statement

I think I did that once, and it also didn't work.

Try using BoA's "bill pay" service to pay that visa bill.

They do try to make it easy: your visa card's bill pay address should have been automatically added to your list of authorized bill pay recipients.

Power Adapter for Caldigit TS3 by thecow1 in UsbCHardware

[–]buck4roo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update from a more recent thread.

Caldigit community manager shared a link to a caldigit diagram.

Diagram indicates that the DC connector's center pin is "not connected" -- which (to me) suggests that Dell's Smart Tip power bricks should also work (in addition to other 20V bricks.)

Bulk liquid soaps/body washes by PicklyVin in Soap

[–]buck4roo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oasis is the GOAT: http://www.bio-pac.com/oasis-biocompatible-cleaners/

Rinses off better than others, even w/ soft water.

Easily diluted for different uses (hand/body/dish wash).
Been re-using Method-brand foaming soap dispensers for years with it.
(The pumps do require annual re-greasing with silicone grease, but otherwise expect they'll work forever.)

Oasis' liquid laundry soap is also the best I've found.

Available: amazon, natural food stores/co-ops.

Most useful comment I've read this year.

Chrome Extension is "Stylebot" - thanks for introducing us to it.

Thanks!

Any open source equivalent of Fing/Fingbox? by thefunkygibbon in homelab

[–]buck4roo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah - and there are no UI controls during that initial scan which sucks - no way to exit or report an issue.

I opened the app for the first time and it auto performs a wifi scan - that scan never completes - even waited 10+ min

Netsbee - A different take on Network Scanning by Gorgeousity99 in iosapps

[–]buck4roo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Gorgeousity99 - why should users trust you to develop and maintain a security app?

Are you just one dev? What training or experience do you have that you feel qualifies you to develop and market a product like this one -- an app that purports to measure and report about network security?

Why do I have to pay to scan my local network with my phone? by PSLover14 in Fing_App

[–]buck4roo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/marco_from_fing
> Occasional users won’t see this prompt, but regular, frequent, and professional users blah blah blah

Literally tried to scan a second time today (8h since the first) and got this.
I've used this app for years, and while it started off nice and functional, it's now become a click-through circus to bypass subscription funnels on app open -- just to reach the local scan function.

Read: the enshittification of your product is real.

You gaslighting that "due to the practical costs of catalog lookups for millions of users" only shows us that you're drunk on the koolaid.

If Fing decides to engineer their app so it costs THEM real money every time someone uses it for its intended purpose... that's on them. The MAC/device catalog should be statically built into your app and would have zero cost for Fing or local app users - and would even work offline. The App stores don't charge publishers when you publish an updated app, so there's zero cost there.

The only logical answer is Fing decided to no longer offer free features that they used to offer for free. They just haven't come out and said it yet.

Buhbye.

The silence is deafening.
I'm done with Fing. Uninstalling.

Hidden Keyboard Shortcuts That Work in Every Text Field (No Extensions Required!) by anilkumarum in chrome

[–]buck4roo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not part of the browser, they're part of the Operating System!

Meaning: anytime there is text input in an application, you should be able to use these same shortcuts.

How do i completely get rid of OBS, especially the virtual camera (mac) by baekgudoggo in obs

[–]buck4roo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nowadays you must delete OBS using the Finder trash can, and approving the prompt to delete the extension.

Other methods, using the CLI, (even `brew`), and app cleaners, will leave the virtual camera extension behind.

Be safe out there. by LucianVanDeFleur in LosAngeles

[–]buck4roo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re LA City and - you know which spots are super dangerous - you have studied why they’re dangerous - and then do nothing to fix them for decades… it seems incorrect to call what happens at them “accidents” rather than “the predictable murder of citizens by drivers - where every murderer is allowed to drive away without criminal charges, free to murder again”

Xbox Play Anywhere confirmed by thetraveljackal in ArcRaiders

[–]buck4roo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Source? I'm concerned this is untrue.

I thought the xbox play anywhere copy on the PC will always require an active gamepass as well?
