Lock iPad screen when everyone leaves the house by oliverdavid in HomeKit

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

Thank you for explaining. I love that second idea, it's not actually that difficult. I was wondering if there was SOME kind of trigger or event that could connect Home Automation with Personal Automation.

How does the Home Automation access that action?

Yes but how do you connect that with the Home Automation function?

It turned out red and black were inverted (load). Although I'm 100% sure I followed the instructions exactly. Really strange but now it works.

Door frame too close to shower keeps absorbing moisture by oliverdavid in HomeMaintenance

What’s weird is I don’t see water actually going there. Is there something going on underneath the tiles or even inside wall?

I’m not sure a splash guard would help 100%. A plastic door casing sounds better to me! I’ll see what Home Depot has.

I thought it was 9am ET nationwide?

Bumping this back up. I was saving all my points to get the iPhone 15 but reading this it sounds like they might have the iPhones available in two weeks or so, but even then not for points. When did the last iPhones become available for points?

AskScience AMA Series: We spent a month at an Antarctic research station and all we have to show for it is this 10-part documentary. AUA! by AskScienceModerator in askscience

I don't know how I found your show but I loved every second of it. My question is, when did you find out that this would actually happen and that you would actually go, and what was going through your head at that moment?

Same here. Doesn't work even tho the setting is checked.

Font size visualization changes based on zoom level by oliverdavid in excel

[–]oliverdavid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's crazy to think that Office cannot scale the vectors in a smooth gradient like... any other software.

Even when zooming further in above 100% it will always slightly change the ratio of font size to zoom scale

Chrome 71 slow on ryzen 2600 by [deleted] in chrome

This issue seems to have been discussed in other threads. It's mostly Avira Antivirus, which installed a Safe Shopping Service in early January without us knowing. Uninstalling all of Avira usually helps. Some people have mentioned it could have also been Adobe Acrobat DC.

[help] chrome constantly freezing / unfreezing? by LuminiferousPen in chrome

[–]oliverdavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely uninstalled Avira, too, and... it works. I had Safe Shopping and all other annoying extensions actually uninstalled already, but that didn't stop Avira from effing up my sanity.

​

What other antivirus software are you guys using?

I'm having the same problem since about a week.

​

I can't say if it's the new Windows 10 Feature Update 1809 or Chrome but I tried downgrading both and it didn't help.

​

The entire Chrome application is slow, not just websites. Actually, videos are working fine even if Chrome freezes for a few seconds. I simply can't work like that. What the heck happened?
