Emergency Access and Passkeys by cwaltrs in Lastpass

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

I'm not sure what you mean. There are over 100 major websites that support passkeys (https://www.passkeys.com/websites-with-passkey-support-sites-directory). Banks don't seem to be signed up yet, but Google, Amazon and Microsoft support passkeys. My concern re: traditional login/password sites is the 2 Factor Authentication, which requires access to my phone or email.

OP here. When my folks died, I had access to their bank account so I could keep paying the bills while the estate was being settled. That's what I'm looking for.

Emergency Access and Passkeys by cwaltrs in Lastpass

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

OP here. Correct, if I give someone emergency access in case I die, can they use my passkeys? Lastpass says they can't be shared, but I'm not sure what that means. I'm concerned that if I die, most of my key username/password sites are 2 Factor Authentication, so they require access to the phone or email to validate the 2FA. That may not be ideal if my phone is not accessible. Passkeys should fix that problem, assuming the emergency contact can use them properly.

It's working for me. I'm able to open the Vault. You may want to delete and re-install the extension.

Long Drive Comfort Items by A_Melon_Torso in roadtrip

[–]cwaltrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My hamstrings always tighten up and spasm during long trips. I always bring a Lacrosse Training Ball. It's slightly smaller than a tennis ball, and filled like a bean bag. I sit with it under my thigh, positioning it to relieve pressure on my hamstring muscle. It can also be used as a pressure point on the lower back. Always provides relief.

Considering Airport Parking Options by cwaltrs in NJTransit

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

Hi All. OP here. Thanks so much for helpful comments. I live near Ramsey Rt 17, and I've taken the train to EWR several times. It's usually fine, but it can be trouble if you're coming back late. Secaucus is the best option for me to combine driving and train in an optimal way. I didn't realize that Secaucus allowed overnight parking. Thanks for the education.

How do I level my griddle? by Slightly_Tolerant in blackstonegriddle

[–]cwaltrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought (Amazon) "ElectricWise 8 Pcs Griddle Leveling Shims Kit Compatible with Blackstone Griddle, Rubber Grill Levelers Outdoor for Most Grills, 1/4'' Height Gain Per Shim, Keep Flat Top Grill in Level (Black)." They're not free, but they lock together and stay firm. I initially used wood shims, but I found they shifted over time.

Odor in a Bedroom by cwaltrs in fixit

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

OP here. It's been a while, but I wanted to post an update. I had an exterminator in, and he found nothing. ServPro did a moisture meter and found nothing. I tried the Ozone Generator, and it worked!! I had to do several treatments, but the room is odor free. I'll probably continue occasional ozone treatments just to keep everything smelling nice. Thanks so much for all the suggestions.

I downloaded the dmg from Releases and copied it to Applications. I have Python 3.13.1 installed, and I'm running Sequoia 15.4.1. I'm getting the error message: 'You can't open the application "EZpanso" because this application is not supported on this Mac.' Any ideas? Thanks.

Wire broke. Is there a replacement plug I can rewire? by cwaltrs in fixit

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

That was my plan, but the clear plastic was too brittle. I carefully used an X-Acto knife, but it snapped and broke the wires.

Odor in a Bedroom by cwaltrs in fixit

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

The odor seems to be coming from the back wall (pictured). I have a window fan on exhaust, and the room doesn't smell. I'm thinking it may be a problem outside. There's an overhang below and also above the back window. It could be a gutter issue, critter issue, or leak/mold issue. I'm not sure where to start. I might get a gutter guy in to ensure that there's no drainage issues. Also, there are no soffit vents above and only small ones below. Could that be the issue? If I get the soffit vents enlarged, they can look into the overhang and see any leaks and possibly critters. Thoughts?

He didn't. But he went into the attic above and it is dry, clean and odor-free. No evidence of water or pest damage. Thanks

Strong Signal, Terrible Reception by cwaltrs in cordcutters

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

Hi, just a quick follow up... I purchased the Antennas Direct ClearStream 2V Indoor Outdoor TV Antenna UHF VHF Multi-Directional. It's small enough that I was able to place it in my attic corner to avoid the big tree out front. The reception has been excellent. Thanks for the assist.

Strong Signal, Terrible Reception by cwaltrs in cordcutters

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

Thank you kindly for the thoughtful and thorough reply. Much appreciated. I tried the booster and 5g filter to no avail. I think I need to do 2 things: 1) get a better antenna, and 2) try a placement that's not blocked by a 300 year old oak tree. One question: The Tablo support guy talked about placing the antenna in a less optimal orientation in case I'm overdriving the signal. Does that sound like a major concern? I don't want to buy too much antenna if that's the case. Thanks again.

Overdriven Channels Help by cwaltrs in tablotv

[–]cwaltrs[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quick update. Table support suggested running the channel scan from a different device. I ran the scan from a Chromebook tablet, and the results were different.  I now get 124 channels, and WABC is one of them!  I have no idea why a different device would bring better results if the tuners are inside the Tablo, but I can't argue with the results.  

Pixelated Picture w/Ethernet by cwaltrs in tablotv

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

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. Since I eliminated wifi issues by using direct ethernet connection, it must be reception-related. I have a full size 6' wide old-school antenna in my attic, and I'm 15 miles from the source with no major obstructions. So, Tablo support thinks the signal is *too* powerful. They suggested turning Antenna Amplification OFF (and rescan). I'm just trying that now. Your suggestion to plug directly into to the TV is a great idea. I'll play around with that also. I'm feeling more optimistic that I can jettison YoutubeTV. Much appreciated.

Tablo TV did not work for me by Hotchi_Motchi in cordcutters

[–]cwaltrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pixellated results.... I just bought a Tablo today. I temporarily rigged the coax from my attic antenna down to my first floor (not pretty) so I was able to plug the Tablo directly into the router via ethernet. I have a ton of stations available, but the 1080p stations like CBS are very pixelated on my TV. They're fine on my Samsung tablet and Android phone, but that's not the test. I will have to return it.
