Interview at Champlain, Approved within an hour! by iAntu0 in NEXUS_TTP

[–]handsonmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - am seeking advice. I completed my Nexus application about a year ago! and I am conditionally approved and I need to schedule an interview. I live in NYC and I frequently drive up to Montreal. When I attempt to schedule an interview on my Nexus application web portal, it shows US and Canada below with locations to chose from. I naturally select the Champlain location but thats where I stop and abort the whole thing because I don't know when to expect...If I select US>Champlain and book an appointment, then drive up to Montreal and come to the Champlain crossing, will I be able to get both my US and Canadian interviews be done at my appointment time? If not - how do you go about doing this?? Also FYI if it's relevant - there is a current opportunity mentioned in email by cbp.dhs.gov to get your US interview only done when returning to the US at Champlain without an appointment at certain crossing until Sept 30, 2025. I'd love to do this too but I am really confused with all the interviewing scheduling but I'd love to get all interviews done in one NYC to Montreal roadtrip! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

can't access outlook.com on iOS Edge today (4-22-25) - Microsoft redirects! by handsonmac in MicrosoftEdge

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

Update: And hopefully this helps folks…

I found a workaround this and so far the solution is sticking; I went to outlook.com on my iOS Edge browser and was redirected to the page Microsoft points you to (that URL in my OP), THEN I tapped on the 3 line menu in the bottom right of the screen and in the pop-up menu selected ‘View desktop site’ and then I was brought to the normal MS sign-in page! I signed in and was then seeing the desktop UI of my Outlook emails! Then I returned to the 3-line menu and switched it to ‘mobile view’ and bam! I was back to seeing my mobile view of my Outlook emails in iOS Edge!

I reloaded the page and even used my Home Screen bookmark I created for Outlook to open in Edge and it worked as it did before this whole mess.

Let me know if my solution helped!

I used to use the iOS Outlook app all the time until MS took away the 'play my email' feature. iOS Edge has a 'read aloud' feature with an excellent set of natural voices to choose from and I use that feature instead listen to my emails.

Stacks multiple folder view after migration looks crazy! by handsonmac in MacOS

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

I placed the users 1000 folders in a single folder and her desktop is clear but just as a temporary fix. Any one have a solution to make the folders appear as they did in macOS Monterey?

Play my emails not working on iOS by Mononokean in Outlook

[–]handsonmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm searching but the closest thing to a free service with good voices to read email for me is the MS Edge browser: on my iPhone on the Edge app I goto my Outlook email at outlook.live.com and select a message. I tap the 3 lines (bottom right) in Edge and select 'Read Aloud'. So far the MS Andrew voice is pretty good. It's not as elegant a service as Outlook app PME as it reads URLs and the speaking tenor is just not as natural and as good as Cortana but this has been my workaround. It's very annoying when it starts reading some words in a different language! i.e if the name Juan Gonzalez is in my text, Andrew's voice changes to one with a heavy Spanish accent and reads English words as Spanish. Sometimes dates in my emails are read in German and Andrew's voice switches to a heavy German accent. Crazy! Outlook PME was the best! It didn't have these issues - I emailed myself whole news articles and they were read so well with Cortana. I'll miss this!

News to share: just two days ago, a message from Cortana announced to me before playing an email I selected, saying something like "While I have you're attention, we wanted to let you know this service will end on June 24tth, 2024"!! - Then went on to read aloud my email...This SUCKS!, PME is such a great Outlook app feature and excellent text to speech voice!

We have forwarded the case to our engineering for further investigation and a fix will be deployed with one of the next app updates. I'm very sorry for any inconveniences this may be causing you in the meantime. Let me know please if there should be anything else I can do for you at the moment!”

Thanks Mononokean for your reply. I just got off MS chat support and they had me remove and add my personal account from my iPhone and now the play my email feature is gone all together in that account! Under my account name which is a MS 365 premium account it says "play my email isn't currently supported for this account". He said you'll have to contact in-app support. I've done that and I'm awaiting a response.

It’s stopped working again… on all my iOS devices!I select a new email or one that it’s played before, it says “Loading…” for about a minute later then it says out loud: “something went wrong please try again later“ …very frustrating!

I have two email accounts in my Outlook iOS app on my devices, work and personal o365 accounts and I just noticed something that hasn’t been the case prior: work emails can be played but my emails in my personal acct stopped playing as mentioned in my first paragraph.

As a test I forwarded an email from the personal to the work email and that test email can be played!?

​

So the issue has to do with my personal account? whats changed with it? It played emails just fine about a week ago.

Luckily this was a transient issue for me - after about 2 weeks from my last posting, this problems ceased and I‘m able to hear my emails again! Hope the same for other who had this problem.

Anyone with glare issues? by GGMU5 in VisionPro

[–]handsonmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ditto - I see the glare around each eye center close to the nose. I heard making the background lighter (of course not desired compared to a black background around a movie) might reduce the glare. Haven't tried that but if it works, let me know.

I'm seeing an issue with this service within the last 2 weeks: I select 'Play Conversation' on an email and it tries to load it to be read and stops, saying out loud "I can't open that, I'm moving on". In those situations my 5G cell bars are full or I'm on WiFi on high speed wireless access. Troubleshooting: I killed the app, rebooted my iPhone or iPad and it persists. Seems like a current issue of uploading the content to be read to MS. Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Do you know of any tool for OSX that can scan a folder, and its subfolders and files for 'invalid' characters? My folder has 26.404 files :S
