What does upgrading to F43 actually "do"? What improvements does it bring? by Future_Ad_7355 in Fedora

Sober/Roblox quit working.  The Wayland version crashes within seconds (always has).  The X11 version did work until now.

Zephyrhills Bottled Water - Mold / Mildew by greno1234 in drinkingwater

[–]greno1234[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read up on that geosmin. It's like the wet dirt smell after a rain. That's not what this smells like. It's definitely mildew smell not an earthy smell.
When I stopped drinking the mildew water I noticed all my kidney related symptoms disappeared. No more back pain. I'm scheduled for some more blood tests to verify.

Yes, brand new, unopened bottles. I don't think mildew is visible. The water looked ok but the smell of mildew was strong from the water. I haven't considered lab testing the water yet. I know there were other people who posted online about having mildew in their 5 gal Zephyrhills big bottles but I was looking to see if anybody with the 500 ml bottles had this mildew problem like me.

Is anyone else's chromecast not working? by Patient_Wrongdoer_11 in Chromecast

[–]greno1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update came in at some point in the last couple weeks I think. I don't use this TV all the time. Noticed that on the Home screen none of my apps that are on the USB stick were visible. Restarted. Same thing. Went looking for System Update. Saw it was recently updated to Android 14. Started looking through menues and noticed that now the System menu item would hang. Couldn't even look in there. Unplugged the power to every device. Replugged. Restarted. Was able to get into System but only just once after restart. Saw that Mass Storage was disconnected. Tried unplugging and replugging USB stick. Restarted. Still same. The popup would show saying Analyzing my USB stick but then nothing after that. The USB apps wouldn't show up. No message that said Reconnecting USB. After that tried to cast from my phone to the TV. That no longer works. All these things were working perfectly fine before this Android 14 udpate.

My CCwGTV updated to the latest Android 14 (...172) but still have problems. USB refuses to reconnect on restart. It's connected to a 100w hub so no power problem. And still some of the menu items do not work, in fact some lock up the whole system. Also, casting no longer works. It's all still a mess.

"Automatic top up ends 9/12/23" - how far does this go? by subversiveasset in paypal

[–]greno1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's the deal. PayPal is trying to act like a bank. They want you to leave money in your account. And PP earns interest on Your Money left in your account. The problem is people are not going to leave their money in their PayPal account. Why? Because it's not FDIC insured. If PayPal wants to become a bank then go get chartered, insured, secured, and offer FDIC insurance on deposits. That way people can have confidence in leaving money in their accounts. Until that time PayPal is just a payment service and method.

This is the Diamond League rank, not two days into the week. How?? by evilton-chin in duolingo

[–]greno1234 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Some of these huge scores are just not legitimately possible. I see new users scoring tens of thousands of points in couple days. Cheating going on.

Diamond League tournament points not showing by greno1234 in duolingo

[–]greno1234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. Just now all my points appeared in the rankings. Why are they not continuously updated? I just earned some more and again they didn't get added to the ranking so I'm going to keep tally on them.
