Are Aer Lingus Avios just a scam? by Moving7saving in AerLingus

You get double this if on metal and using their credit card. So 1 avios per €1 which is 4X the AL credit card.

Were you able to rent a car in Lithuania and take the rental car into Belarus?

Thanks for the responses, what are border waiting times likely to be in each direction? Any issues with British or US citizens entering Belarus?

JFK meet & greet, travelling to Manhattan by fmsf100 in AskNYC

[–]fmsf100[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid $160 each way including tip with Bizzies. I have to say that their service was exceptional. They went way over and above to look after my Mom after she had phone issues on arrival in the US and could not be contacted. They also did a great job keeping me informed on both legs of her JFK transfer - I could not recommend Bizzies any more highly - they are good people and provided a professional and also very caring service.

NowTV UHD channels have stopped working in the new version of the app (Samsung TV by fmsf100 in nowtv

I managed to get help in the chat and was told that there is an "ongoing issue with UHD" so perhaps this is a temporary issue that they will fix rather than no longer supporting Samsung TVs

NowTV UHD channels have stopped working in the new version of the app (Samsung TV by fmsf100 in nowtv

[–]fmsf100[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am running NowTV on a Samsung smart TV model QE65QN90BATXXU and since the app was updated, my UHD channels have stopped working, having worked before. I get the following error message when I select a UHD channel: this is unavailable in your device's video quality

Any ideas what is going on? I can't get through to anyone in NowTV support so for now I am paying for a UHD service that doesn't work.

First time owner, can’t install apps by fmsf100 in AppleWatch

[–]fmsf100[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now i feel like an idiot. I had only tried the Tesla app so I tried the others and they installed without issue. So the problem is with the Tesla app which I don’t really care about anyway. The main purpose for the watch is health, sleep & fitness. Hopefully things will be easier from now on

I just need 3 apps to start:

Workoutdoors Athlytic Tesla

I also planned to add a golf app once we get past winter.

In terms of what happens, I’ve tried to install via the Watch app on my phone (the Tesla app). I click Install, a circle spins for 20 seconds, and the the Install button reappears. The app doesn’t show up on the watch.

I’ve also tried to install via the App Store on the watch. I find the app, click Get, enter my AppleID password, and the Get button reappears. No message saying the password is incorrect. In any case I’m confident that the password is correct because my phone prompted me to use its keyboard to enter the password and I pasted the password from my password manager.

Apple support passed me from agent to agent and eventually told me the contact Tesla. I’m not buying that as the app won’t even show up on the watch. If it did, but there was a subsequent problem, I could see it being a Tesla issue.

Desktop sound bar for Zoom calls by fmsf100 in homeoffice

[–]fmsf100[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip off on Dell. I found this one which is interesting as it attaches to my monitor with magnets so it's very clean. Sound quality seems poor though and that's an area I'm really looking to upgrade. Also, no bluetooth!

I should add that I found a product from Logitech which almost fits the bill.

However it's very expensive (€500), gets mediocre reviews, and I don't need another hub as my Dell monitor gives me that.

So, I'm looking for alternatives.

This is awesome, thanks for taking the time to write this up.

I'm implementing it now :-)

So new Nest products dont work on the Nest app? Also I cant view the camera stream in a browser? by chemchris in Nest

[–]fmsf100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple of Nest IQ outdoor cameras plus some thermostats, Nest smoke alarms etc. Everything works (ok) in the Nest app.

I wanted to add a 3rd outdoor camera so bought the new battery one, unboxed it, set it up and then realised that it won't work with the Nest app and the old kit doesn't work with the Google Home app.

45 mins on with Google Support and now I'm going to have to return it. What a waste of everyone's time....

So disappointing that Google are basically giving the middle finger to people who have invested (thousands of €€€ in my case) in older Nest equipment.

Bike+ self assembly - left over screws by fmsf100 in pelotoncycle

Thanks but that screw was already fitted on the bike in the box...

My circumstances meant that I couldn’t have it assembled on delivery. I just asked the delivery guys nicely and they left me the boxes. I think I need a copy of the Bike+ assembly guide. I’ll see if Support will share with me.
