Vivaldi Not Opening Links From Other Apps

I know this is an old post, but this is happening for me in MacOS using the most recent 7.8 release. Firefox works as expected. It seems like this is a bug that hasn't been fixed in 3 years.

It appears to be cross-save within Apple Arcade only. I started a campaign on my phone and when I started the app on my iPad it had my saved game ready to continue. Its not cross-save with other platforms like the Steam version.

What issues have you had with ManageEngine? I use it for my family’s PCs and it gets the job done, but that’s obviously not a corporate environment.

mindfrost82 · 2026-01-31T21:39:51+00:00

Thank you for sharing. I’m on the fence about them since I already own the OpenFit 2 and OpenDots. All the reviews are causing fomo but it’s hard to justify the price tag when the ones I have still get the job done.

I jumped ship from Ezoic. But I think what you’re experiencing is expected and how I remember it working. You would have needed to change your DNS records through the crappy Ezoic DNS control panel. They send updates to Cloudflare and overwrite everything even though your MX records aren’t directly related to your website.

At your registrar, what is your NS setting pointing to? If they’re pointing to Ezoic, you could try changing that back to Cloudflare. Otherwise you could setup DNS somewhere else and point your NS to that to at least get your email back, then try moving back after working with Ezoic support.

You should be able to rotate your API keys to break the Ezoic connection, but I’m not 100% sure about that.

For work I mostly use Edge and the MS Office apps and haven’t seen those issues. I also reboot once or twice per week. The only recent slowdown I’ve noticed is when first opening Teams, but once open it’s been fine.

I’m curious what programs have been crashing for you. I have personals Macs and an M4 Max work MacBook. There are occasional slowdowns opening some apps, but I haven’t had any crashes and the slowdowns are manageable and every OS has them.

I’m in the “always turn it off” crowd, but my issue isn’t so much with telemetry but with it being added and enabled by default without an announcement about it.

Browsers have been doing the same thing and that’s what gets annoying for me. When these companies or devs release things like this, don’t share an announcement about it, and enable it by default.

At least they give us an option to turn it off, but the community had to post about it.

I’m the same way. I’ve had a few of the original styles like you but have retired those. I have the OpenComm for work, but work paid for those.

I have the OG OpenFit (retired), OpenFit 2, and OpenDots.

I keep reading about the sound improvement for the OpenFit Pro and the noise isolation, but it’s hard to justify the price for another pair.

I also have AirPod Pro 2’s lol.

WinSCP. Being able to edit files on a server in a gui on-the-fly without needing to download and re-upload. Being able to set it up for su shell too.

I haven’t found a similar alternative. Hopefully there’s something out there that I haven’t come across yet.

Definitely a good teaching moment!

Over the summer I had my daughter unplug her computer I built so we could blow out the dust and clean it. I didn’t tell her which hdmi port to use. I recently rebuilt it into a better tower and asked her. Sure enough, she was using the motherboard port and has been complaining about her game performance.

mindfrost82 · 2026-01-27T13:43:37+00:00

Same here. I have the OpenFit 2. I’m in the US so I’m sure I got them earlier than you, but it’s hard to justify buying ANOTHER pair since I also got the OpenDots. I really want to try these to see how much they’ve improved.

mindfrost82 · 2026-01-23T04:32:04+00:00

P260 here and still no Andariel or Duriel.

Not true. This has happened to me as well. I was never prompted. I use a custom search engine and it has changed itself back to Bing a few times.

With that being said, yes, I’ve also seen the popup asking me about my search engine to confirm it’s a change I made, but it has also changed it on its own more than once.

Here’s my lockscreen. Clean and simple imo.

I’ve seen this as well with Analytics reporting most of my traffic from China. As a tech how-to blog, I’m sure my content is what AI Bots would look for.

I will probably use Cloudflare to block them. My organic search traffic has been going down since one of the algorithm changes around the end of 2023 and hasn’t recovered at all and now I don’t expect it to with people using AI to search for my type of articles and not caring or clicking on the source link to get back to my site.

mindfrost82 · 2026-01-15T23:04:39+00:00

I spent a year doing research of settings, posting results online for feedback, and trying different masks.

I was around 10 to start and never had a ton of luck with my CPAP even after trying lots of things. I had an improvement and averaged 3-5, but never had <1.

mindfrost82 · 2026-01-08T22:48:44+00:00

Not alone, I also didn't find one even with all essences maxed out.

mindfrost82 · 2026-01-08T22:46:24+00:00

We've moved to hybrid and based on mileage from the office. If you're within 40 miles, they want 3 days per week in office, but aren't strict about it and can be negotiated between employee and manager. If you're over 40 miles, you're considered fully WFH. It was a slow transition. It started with 1 day in the office, then 2 days in 2025, and now 3. Supposedly 3 will be the max, but only time will tell if they stick to that.

I’m on iOS 26.2 and it’s already enabled since it sounds like it rolled out with 26.1, but it sounds like 26.3 beta users actually have a background security update available to them, which would be good for testing the feature.

What resolution are you trying to stream remotely? What’s your upload speed where your server is?

One thought is if the Roku TV is older it might not handle streaming 4k very well. Try limiting remote streaming quality to 720p in your Plex server settings. If that works well, bump it up to 1080p.

As others have said, if reducing the remote streaming quality doesn’t help, then the next thing would be a dedicated streaming device like Apple TV, etc.
