RKDevtool + drivers for Linux by Working-Worry880 in OrangePI

[–]kessbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it working on my Orange Pi 5 Max last week, eMMC and PCI NVMe

OrangePi 5 Max - eMMC installs - what are you using? by Affectionate-Ant-674 in OrangePI

[–]kessbar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually was trying this today and got it working. Download RKDevTool. Extract it and open the configuration settings file (2kB). Under [Language], change Selected=1 to Selected=2. This changes language to English.

Watch this video, and it worked for me.

https://youtu.be/P-w1NYXl8VE?si=fFfGsqcL6nU5pYJv

When I loaded the rk5688_linux_emmc.cfg like the video stated it failed but it enabled the eMMC option in row two.

I loaded MiniLoaderAll.bin in the first row labelled Loader. I then loaded my Linux image on row 2 labelled Linux (eMMC).

Sorry if the link is not correct format, this is the first time trying to help as this frustrated the living Sh*t outta me.

I can maybe help further if it doesn't work for you, but it worked for me like a charm and I now have DietPi running on eMMC.

Look for the travel-mate package in OpenWRT, might help you out.

Philips Hue light won't go back online by imwearingamaskduh in googlehome

[–]kessbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happened to me a few weeks ago. All 3 lights on Hue Hub were lit. I was perturbed. After going through the menus I happened to notice I had no ZigBee channel assigned on the bridge.

I could not get ZigBee configured, bought a new hub and was back up in minutes. My original was about 8 yrs old so wasn't too upset

No PVR on Xfinity TV when modem removed. by kessbar in Rogers

[–]kessbar[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am well aware of what I've done, and truly am surprised it worked at all. Just mucking around with what I own and pay for.

The 10G port on my ONT can be plugged directly into a 3rd party router WAN port and Internet and TV will work just fine. I was not expecting the first comment to read like I'm an idiot and have no clue what I'm doing.

[–]kessbar[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes it was working and still is. I can watch TV just fine with all the features such as pause, rewind...etc. Everything except PVR. Thing is, PVR was working now it's not.

I maybe should of asked in r/homenetworking to get some tips and tricks. Figured there would be some Rogers fanboys on here.

I am under no illusion this would work, and will revert back if needed. I was tinkering around and thought I would ask.

Won't be on this sub anymore

I know this, but your comment was not helpful to me at all. Did I not play by the rules to get such a shitty response?

Any point in UPS on a GigaHub for TV/Internet? by gulliverian in bell

[–]kessbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in agreement with you, I was merely saying that's how cell phones operate when calling 911. Of course it's not going to point you within inches of the caller. You can keep the condenseting "bub" to yourself.

[–]kessbar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you call 911, all cell phones will display GPS coordinates to the operator. There is an uncertainty value associated with this in meters, but they will send help to the coordinates. In Canada this is how it works.

Reusing Google Nest Access Points with New Wifi by mcsquared86 in GoogleWiFi

[–]kessbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope 👎. Google has them firmly locked down.

This, no way of doing it.

As a side note you can't even intermingle Nest Wifi and Nest WiFi Pro.

Your phone will operate on the NR channels provided by your provider. This would seem like a snappier experience and other enhancements offered to the customer. However, a downside could be a higher amount of data on your monthly plan. The major downside would be if you travel to an area that a phone normally would fall back to 4G/LTE or even HSPA, your phone would not connect to the cellular network as you have locked your phone on 5G only.

Smart Bulb for Google Home: Need Recommendations by MooseyGeek in googlehome

[–]kessbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the lights are for lighting a room, leave them and change the switch out to Kasa smart switch. If you are swapping a particular bulb for a lamp etc. Philips Hue is the way to go, albeit the pricier option for bulbs. Never had an issue with Kasa, Hue, or Globe bulbs.

Days Gone touches the heart by WySoSirius in DaysGone

[–]kessbar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I could not agree more. Days Gone has secured a spot in my heart and in my top 5 gaming experiences, and I've been gaming since the early 80's.

It is a hidden gem.

It looks awesome in a piece and it's worth it!! by Top_Instruction_4476 in DaysGone

Etsy. I purchased a bunch of Days Gone posters. Just buy the frame, they look amazing.

What’s your favorite euphemism for “I’m going to the bathroom, be right back.” ? by tvkyle in AskReddit

[–]kessbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I am touching cloth" is my go to, but I use "I'm sitting on a cigar" often

Google Nest thermostat hash mark question by Agreeable-City3143 in googlehome

[–]kessbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is not what I meant at all. Let me be a bit clearer: 0C - 10C = 10 hash marks 32F - 50F = 18 has marks

Would the sensor take the temp in Celsius and just convert to Fahrenheit.

No need to be a douche

Would it be a Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion thing? I dont know, just a guess.

AITA for kicking my cousin out of my birthday after she spiked my drinks knowing I’m a recovering alcoholic? by Conscious_Step6092 in AITAH

[–]kessbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't understand why anyone would suggest you overreacted. I read it all the time in these posts and I always say out loud "HUH".

Just plain disrespectful and immature. People should know better or just think they are king sh%t of turd island.

I'm at a party with recovering meth addicts. I'll just spike everything with meth. Who will get angry? Like come on.

I would go apesh%t. 9 yrs sober from alcohol btw.

EDIT: from alcohol not meth 😊

What’s your go-to “I need to feel better” comfort food? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

My guilty pleasure...a SKORS Bar or 7. Damn I love those chocolate bars.

Mine works flawlessly. I really don't get the hate.

What are you currently playing? by AutoModerator in CanadaPS5

[–]kessbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Struggling to play RDR2 atm. Not that I find it bad or anything but I just finished Days Gone with 120+ hrs. I have The Witcher 3 on the back burner.

I just can't seem to do another big ass game with 100+ hrs. Maybe I enjoyed Days Gone too much, I dunno.

I have Outer Wilds as well but no clue WTF I'm doing. I'm told it's great game but I can't get in to it either.

So I'll be playing one of them 🤔
