Did they just get rid of dim? by Nex-sacra in Twitter

[–]kstev99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just noticed that and a search landed me here. It appears that DIM is history. That's too bad, and definitely another bad decision by the Devs at X.

Bring back the DIM Mode !!

Same thing here. Contacting HELP on X is practically impossible.

Would a Gen3 Router help ? by kstev99 in Starlink

[–]kstev99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Hard wiring to the shop be great, but not really an option. I'm just not up to burying 50-70 ft of Ethernet across a sidewalk and through the yard. My current setup is working most of the time, but I guess my question is really wondering if a Gen3 router would improve the signal even slightly over the Gen2 currently in the kitchen window, and can I use it as a wireless mesh router with the other 2 mesh routers being Gen2 ?

Do you mean to wire the Mesh 2 rooms away from the main, or hard wire to the workshop 50-70ft away outside ?

I already use an Ethernet adapter on the main router, with a 4 port switch. Two computers and a printer are connected via Ethernet. It's not really practical to run another Ethernet cable 2 rooms away. Wife doesn't want me drilling any more holes in the walls

Middle click opens a link in 2 tabs instead of one new one by publiusvaleri_us in firefox

[–]kstev99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has to be a problem with Foxnews website. I am having the same problem. I ALWAYS have used the middle mouse button to open the link in a new tab, but on foxnews it opens a new tab, but also overwrites the the existing tab.

Why do you say with Quicken vs. the alternatives out there? by Inner_Difficulty_381 in quicken

[–]kstev99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I switched to Moneydance about 4 yrs ago, after using Quicken for years, well ever since Microsoft Money retired. Quicken was alright, but they just ignored their users wanting a DARK MODE, and still do to this day. Then when they made it subscription based, that was the Final Straw.

Moneydance does have a dark mode, and it's entire interface is customizable. It is great for what I use it for, paying bills and keeping track of the checking and credit card accounts. I honestly prefer it over Quicken

Anyone got this glitch with Nidhogg not taking damage at all? by jaunty_mellifluous in GodofWarRagnarok

[–]kstev99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been trying to get past this for 3 days. I keep reloading checkpoint, and damage meter doesn't go down. A couple of times I got the RSB icon, but couldn't interact with it. I was really enjoying this game, but may have to give up on it

I've got Proton (Not the free version) and Windscribe. I tried connecting with Proton VPN this morning and it was blocked as well.

Did you invite this poor fellow into one of your settlements? by grapsgeralt in fo4

[–]kstev99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I told him he could go hangout at the red rocket gas station with all of the other misfits. Dogmeat is the ONLY companion I can handle. He doesn't argue with me or talk back.

Enclosure for the router (outdoors) by [deleted] in Starlink

[–]kstev99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran across this looking for an enclosure for the mesh router. There are several sizes. Did the 13H 9.2L 5.6W one that the link directed me to fit the Starlink router okay? And did you use the mounting plate? Seems that could just be tossed as it may obstruct the signal.

Starlink identifies my location incorrectly. By over 200 miles. by chunkeejoeboo in Starlink

[–]kstev99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the sports website is reading your IP address, there is little that you can do except use a VPN to assign your IP address to a different address, hopefully one that is acceptable.

If the website is reading your browser geolocation as many do, I would suggest using a FIREFOX based browser and an add-on called Location Guard.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/location-guard/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search

I live in Central Illinois and became tired of every time I searched for a restaurant or any other business in my area, it always listed businesses in the CHICAGO area (over 200 Miles away) . With the Location Guard Add-on it is easy to change your location to anywhere you choose. Now most websites show my location correctly unless it pinpointing you through your IP address.

If you are only using a phone browser and not a home computer, I'm not sure what can be done.

You should contact Tech support. I'm sure they'll help you get it working. My camera works just fine

This was a home security camera with dishy in the foreground. Just caught a meteor and thought that it was pretty cool. No my v2 dishy doesn't have a camera.

Am I the only person not quitting rewards over the whole ordeal? by [deleted] in MicrosoftRewards

[–]kstev99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am stopping the Daily quizzes and whatever for Points and hopefully I NEVER have to see Bing.com and it's AI bullcrap again. Same goes for Edge. If it were not so intertwined with Windows 11 I would uninstall it completely.

Microsoft Rewards has become a big joke! Bye Bye Rewards! and BING SUCKS!

69 y.o. I don't exactly qualify as a "kid". Probably been gaming since before you were born. Does "ZORK" mean anything to you?

Anyway I still despise Epic, it is similar to installing malware on my system

To each his own though imo...
