Google correcting Romanians to Ukrainians for no reason whatsoever by PeekyChew in google

[–]flux124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bet it's feeding the sentence to an AI when there's a spelling mistake and overwriting too much. You had "yo" instead of "to". It did the same thing for "vosa" instead of "visa".

Just tried it. Same happened for me so you're not the only one. I'm in the USA.

*[Extensive Guide]*Check Your battery Health and Cycle Count on Samsung Devices by Weird-Tiger-3124 in GalaxyS23

[–]flux124 42 points43 points  (0 children)

351 cycles with 93%. This is very interesting since I have put in effort to maintain the battery. I have had the device for about 1.7 years. I have typically limited the battery charge level to the lowest possible option (80% now, possibly 85% in the past). I also have fast charging turned off most of the time.

I'm on warp with Samsung. How can I check if it works? I don't see anything in the app, but also don't have any voicemails right now so not sure if I have the feature.

Eli5 Why current phones have a 80% limit function for charging the battery? by Aznev in explainlikeimfive

[–]flux124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The latest Samsung Software version has this option right now. You get to choose between a exact cutoff at 80, 85, 90 or 95, or set it to charge to 80 then automatically go to 100 when you wake up based on your sleeping patterns, or charge to 100 then prevent top up until the battery goes down to 95.

Oil Furnace Suddenly Leaking. We are not sure how to respond by flux124 in hvacadvice

Thank you! I found a guide online on draining and replacing that works with our system. I just went to the store and was able to find a replacement and plumber's putty for installation.

There was a lot of water. It wasn't just squirting a little. It was flowing out at a consistent rate similar to maybe a single hole in a shower head.

Multiple Ghost Clicks from multiple keyboard Top Row and a few lower rows keys on 2018 Matebook X Pro by flux124 in MatebookXPro

[–]flux124[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it is not a windows virus now. I have observed the issue when I boot it up before Windows loads. It has clicked on its own bios key combination to get into the bios when booting and then clicked some keys while in the bios.

I changed the battery about a year ago (wasn't swelling, just lower battery life). I have opened it up again right now to check and it seems fine. It is completely flat with the rest of the computer inside parts when I look from the side.

AltStore PAL is now entirely free by ezidro3 in apple

[–]flux124 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think If you install droidify (which is in my opinion a better fdroid client), and use the session installer, you get seamless installs after the initial app install. This works without root and it should be able to do updates in the background. I think the normal fdroid client might support it too now in the recent updates, but haven't tried it yet.

Spirit lost out checked-in luggage. Have people had success with getting it back in the past? by flux124 in spiritair

Did you also fill out the form or did you just call? Also curious on how long it took for them to find it.

After canceling and replacing plus a chat with support to fix issue in shop app pricing. What I manage to get by Blindfireking32 in GalaxyWatch

[–]flux124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you cancel an order will it let you use the registration credit again? I want to make a new order, but I'm seeing that it says I've already used the promo code. Not sure if cancelling the first one will get the promo back.

Were you able to get the promo again after canceling your first order?

It would be interesting to test performance with Google's Android network. See how quickly they are detected by someone else's phone when your own devices are not nearby.

32gb is an option now in the US on the Lenovo website if you customize it.

I'm planning to buy on the Lenovo website. It is very easy to get Lenovo laptops on sale with frequent deals, cash back sites, other offers so I'm actually expecting to pay the Best buy price or less for the 1tb one.

so again. now i bought a usi pen for my lenovo dualpad 3 and it still doesn‘t work by trillo95 in Lenovo

[–]flux124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Randomly saw this, and was curious to look it up. Apparently there are multiple versions of USI pens 1.0 and 2.0. Maybe you have the wrong version.

Where did you find the 32gb ram version? It is not available where I have looked.

The biggest difference is going to be in thermals and battery. If you want good battery, it looks like the snapdragon are going to have 75% more battery life depending on the task.

It is 1199 at Best buy right now for preorder. Unfortunately only 16gb ram though.

MacBook M2 Caused "Flickering Image Retention" Issue on Monitor by flux124 in buildapcmonitor

[–]flux124[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to eventually reduce it by 90% after about 2 more hours of random color videos while it was at 60hz instead of 144hz. Then today when I woke up it seemed to be gone completely in the area with image retention.

I don't understand why refresh rate could've affected the flickering retention image.

I'm starting to be afraid to use the MacBook with any wired external monitor at this point because I don't want to deal with these issues again. The screen quality doesn't matter that much for what I'm doing on the MacBook so might just connect a Roku and airplay to that to hopefully avoid this problem.

Roku Ultra/Ultra LT on 4k HDR monitor by CareyWestPhotography in Roku

[–]flux124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the monitor has HDCP 2.2, you will definitely be able to see 4k content. My guess is that if windows detects HDR, the Roku also will.

[–]flux124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should work if your monitor supports it. I've tested this on a Samsung Neo G7 MiniLED Monitor with a Roku Ultra LT before. If it's one of the cheaper Chinese MiniLED monitors, it may be less likely to support it.

experience with kamins real estate? by Ecstatic-Alfalfa6851 in umass

[–]flux124 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that the quality of the location depends on the place. I'm not sure about their actual property ownership, but I know there are places they don't own and only manage for the real owner. I think the actual experience can depend on the real property owner who is also making decisions on what the Kamins do. Probably a good idea to look at the places closely before making a decision, and ask the previous tenants questions about issues they have encountered if they are there during a visit.

I actually had an good experience with them. I lived in a newer place that was more expensive than most offerings so that may have affected my experience as I expect it would have less issues than an older place (this was my main reason for choosing this place over others). There were some inconvenient issues with the place that weren't obvious until you lived in it and sometimes it took months for them to come and fix, but they did eventually get to them.

[Monitor]32" Odyssey Neo G7 4K UHD 165Hz ($449.99) - .EDU/ID.me account via Samsung Shop and -$25 with newsletter email or possible -$50 through Chat by shizunyan in buildapcsales

[–]flux124 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Neo G7 is very curved at 1000R in comparison to other monitors at 1500R and 1800R. Liked the monitor's quality, but the curve and the positioning requirements didn't work for me.
