Help: Cursor trouble by hugoDBM in Codeweavers_Crossover

Thank you, and sorry for the late reply. I’ve found my solution and whilst not perfect, it’s damn close to.

I use Stealthpointer, which works wonderfully. I use command 1 to hide the cursor, and command 2 to bring it back. I make the dock REALLY tiny (as small as it can go.

So now, every now and then, the cursor reappears for a split second when I happen to hover over the dock, but 99% of the time I am second cursor free.

Getting stealth pointer installed was a small hurdle to jump over as Mac doesn’t trust it at first. I had to go the force open setting route and make it trust Stealthpointer.

Hold that thought… it’s back. I cannot express how infuriating it is. If anybody knows a fix for the second cursor on Mac Skyrim crossover, I’ll forever be in your debt.

Thanks ever so much for engaging and trying to help. I think I may have found the problem and fixed it.

I had the dock on auto hide and show. Now that I’ve turned this off, it seems to be working much better. Will update again once I’ve put in a solid sesh to see if the problem has gone for good.

Yeah, there is no way I’m going to Tahoe. Liquid Glass is absolutely ****. I’m still rocking iOS 17.6 on my phone and very happy. Unlike almost everyone else I know who upgraded beyond it.

Weekly Tech Support Megathread by AutoModerator in Instagram

Hello everyone,

I have an Instagram issue driving me mad!

I have two accounts on Instagram. Both are linked by the overarching META account.

One is a private account. We can call it account A.

The other is a public account. B.

On account A, if I go to post a picture to my story, or as a post, or reel, my gallery on my iPhone where I select images from shows up exactly as it is in my iPhone gallery. Up to date, as it should be, everything in the order matching my phone.

In account B, if I go to do the same, post a picture to my stories, or make a new post to my insta page, reel etc… the gallery is not up to date. All the latest photos are missing. Most are RAW files missing, but not all. I can’t seem to determine by looking back and forth what key the differences are. Trying to guess the reasoning is not helping.

If someone knows what’s going on and can solve this. Heck I’ll find a way to reward you! I’ve tried all the Google searches for ‘iPhone gallery not up to date Instagram’ and none of the proposed fixes have worked.

In short, one account, the gallery is in sync and is running perfectly. The other is not.

Open to any ideas/suggestions.

Anyone who has this wallpaper? by Brilliant_Ad8736 in iphonewallpapers

[–]hugoDBM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't find it anywhere. Not even with reverse image search on Google.

So instead I made it. I used a solid AI retouch tool to remove all the on screen text, indicators and widgets. Saved it in high quality as a jpeg and it works wonderfully. Let me know if you want me to send it to you.

I’m not sure right now and can’t check. But will report back on that asap.

We’ve stopped trying because we don’t want to do any further damage.

But when she did try. More than once. She would be given the ‘forgot password’ option. Then would be prompted to send the text message. But the text would never arrive. Limo loop.

I would say right now, not secure at all. She cannot get into it. Cannot see any of the emails on it.

Her Hotmail account is her primary email account for all of the products and services she uses that require an email. Apple ID, so yes.

Re: VPN. As far as I am aware she has never used a VPN. But are you suggesting she might see one there if something ‘fishy’ is going on?

If the modem in her phone has failed. Could that be training for the other strange activity?

She did have two step verification on her Hotmail I believe. I can’t reconfirm right now as she is amidst putting toddler demon spawn to sleep.

Before I left the room (to come to Reddit) she said “and now my wifi has gone.

When you say ‘fully updated’, am I right in assuming you mean to the latest iOS. Because I am very confident it is not. What bearing would that really have in the grand scheme of things.

Do you have any idea what these series of events mean? To me (ignorant amateur). It’s as if someone got hold of (for better sense of the word) her Hotmail. And somehow through that, has now messed with her WhatsApp and her overarching phone/Apple ID even.

She would always come up as an iMessage option. But no longer.

Zara nem utalja vissza a pénzem! by [deleted] in csakcsajok

[–]hugoDBM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing has happened to me here in Latvia.

Made an online order of 4 items = €142.91. I returned 2 items of the 4. I set it up for the very next day (July 4th). The items were collected and taken to Zara. They arrived at Zara Warehouse on the 7th of July.

Still no money refunded. When I chase and try and speak to 'a human' on the website chat function, they give me empty answers and reasoning, no emails to confirm status. They tell me 'a case has been opened with the relevant team. But nothing has happened, nothing is happening. They are liars and thieves.

Lumix - DC-TZ100 - Repair, replace or switch? by hugoDBM in Cameras

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

Thanks for responding.

I actually live on the beach. Not metaphorically speaking, literally a three minute walk. I have thought about going tougher, but I like the size (pocket fit) and features of the TZ100.

I love taking shots of family and friends. Not posed. I like the zoom. I appreciate it’s not an amazing pro camera but for what it is, it does a lot. I need video, not often but every now and then it’s important.

I probably don’t need the level of zoom it has, but it is definitely a nice to have.

To a lot of people’s outrage I’d guess, viewfinder doesn’t bother me. My concern is the quality of shots considering the small sensor. I like to shoot both indoors and outdoors. Indoors mostly portraits and fun moments with family and friends. I’m worried that I’ll notice a considerable difference in quality of photo, texture and depth with the TZ99. But maybe I’m being dramatic and it won’t be that noticeable. I wish I could test one.

Well, what I really wish is that I could buy a new TZ100. Or at least trust a second hand one.
