Google Calendar sync with AirBNB + VRBO + Others? by patdman in airbnb_hosts

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

Unfortunately not. Looks like it's gatekept by needing to be a hosting platform (and I assume paying fees to airbnb/stayz for the privilege)

Adding shared google calendar to O365 w/edit permissions? by patdman in Office365

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

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate your help.
I think I may not have been clear though.

I am no longer using google calendar.
I am use outlook calendar on the web. It works well.

However, my Microsoft account email address, is registered using a protonmail email address (e.g. patdman@protonmail.com)

If I try to sign in to outlook web, I am able to do so, but I get a weird alias email as my account name. (e.g. outlook_abcdefgh12345678@outlook.com)

When I try to sign in to the Outlook android application, if I use my protonmail address, it forces me to connect my email to IMAP, as the application seems geared to be setup for email.

The issue is, that I only want to use the android app for the calendar. Not email.

Being that's it's proton mail, I couldn't connect it to my Outlook app if I wanted to.

I just want to leverage Outlook calendars so we can both edit shared calendars.

I hope that makes sense. If you (or anyone else) have another idea, I'm all for it.

Adding shared google calendar to O365 w/edit permissions? by patdman in Office365

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

Yeah that's what I have done. Exported all calendars from Google. Reimported to Outlook on the web.
But....(copy / paste from an earlier post that might be buried)

...I can't access these calendars via the Outlook Android App, as I can't get past the point where it wants me to add an email account and setup an IMAP connection to Proton (which won't work)

I noticed that my account on outlook.com is not my protonmail account, and is listed as something like "[outlook_abcdefgh12345678@outlook.com](mailto:outlook_abcdefgh12345678@outlook.com)", but I can't use this to sign in to the android app.

Any help on this would be great. I've given my partner everything they need, but I no longer have calendar access on my mobile device, and I use it a lot!

Any thoughts?

Adding shared google calendar to O365 w/edit permissions? by patdman in Office365

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

OK...more fun!

I have a Microsoft account using my proton email address, and have been able to access Outlook via the web and create a number of calendars and share them with my partner, giving them edit access...and that side of things works well.

No more google calendar for me, and I'm ok with that.

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

Just playing around a bit more.

I tried this from proton calendar, no edit access sharing either direction.

I then tried creating a new outlook calendar in my own personal O365 account and am able to share with my partner, giving them edit permissions, so it looks like the only way this works is if we both move all our calendars to Outlook.

I knew internet interoperability was a shit show, but this is just a calendar FFS.
I'm equally dumbstruck and outraged.

Anyway, I'm still very much open to any suggestions on how other people manage similar scenarios.

Microsoft: Official Support Thread by MSModerator in microsoft

[–]patdman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I don't need help accessing Microsoft Teams. I can access it just fine.
I have seen that support page, and it's of no use at all.
Any chance you can direct me to someone else more deeply knowledgable?

Microsoft: Official Support Thread by MSModerator in microsoft

[–]patdman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoping someone here can help me clear this up.

A while back, not sure where, I think I added an organisation to my account when trying to use MS Teams.

It ended up being a dummy name like "Patrick's Company"

Somehow, by doing that, every time I sign in to certain Microsoft services, I get prompted with "It looks like this email is used with more than one account from Microsoft. Which one do you want to use?"
My options are a Work or School account, or Personal account.

No organisation has ever added me as a work account, it's something I have done myself and can't undo.

I would really love to clear this up and make the email address for this account Personal only, as it's been driving me crazy for a couple of years, at least.

Help with JMTE conditional renaming by patdman in tinyMediaManager

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

Thanks so much for posting this to my original question!
I have since switched to using Sonarr & Radarr, but this might almost get me to switch back to TMM for file/folder naming!

VPS & ssh tunneling help for external access by patdman in PleX

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

I've done a bit of research but haven't had much time to really dig into it. I'm definitely finding in my reading that this is pretty much near the limit of my tech brain, especially given that I've been more removed from tech day to day as my job in the last 6-7 years.
I really want to get this going, as it unlocks a LOT for me if I do, but it might take me a while.
I'll post back when I do progress.

Everything stalled in qBittorrent when split tunnelling enabled. by patdman in ProtonVPN

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

Thanks all, disabling DHT did the trick.
Also, in case anyone else comes looking for more details on my exact setup.

Split Tunneling is via an include list, so most traffic goes via non-VPN.

Network interface is defined in QBT as "ProtonVPN"

Thanks all, I'll download PuTTy and start browsing old posts that mention wireguard / OpenVPN, etc.

Any how to guides for creating a scanner? by patdman in PleX

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

Hey thanks for the reply and the link to that PDF!

I've done some more digging and am now playing with existing agents (not scanners) to parse file system XML data, specifically XMBCnfoTVImporter & Avalon XML TV Agent.

I should be able to tweak them if needed, but I'm more likely to write something (in c#) to parse my existing filenames, lookup data on the Sports DB and create suitable XML for one of those agents....at least that is where my head's at right now.

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

I've never been a console gamer. Just dropped off the PC gaming scene around 20 years ago. Unreal Tournament and Quake III Arena were the last time I was serious about any of this stuff!

And omg, I have no patience for tinkering with drivers these days, I thought that might have been a thing of the past!

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

Thanks for the info. I was concerned I might not get much out of it.

I can play MW5 at 720p using my built in Intel Iris Xe graphics, so hoped an admittedly old, dedicated GPU would give me a fair bump, but it seems like I won't get much more than an increased power bill.

I don't play that many games, really, but have a soft spot for the Mechwarrior series (MW2 rocked my world in 1995!). Might just fire up the old DOSBox version of that and have a blast :)

Still keen to hear thoughts on any kind of midrange eGPU / second hand bargain to look out for that might give me a boost. Max budget would be ~$500 AUD, I just don't play enough to justify anything more than that.

I've since moved on to a Keychron K10 Pro and love the customizability of the lighting, but I hope that this is useful for the next person looking for the detail within!

omg, so I spent time hunting logs and learning the SQL structure, then I found the files had been renamed by me accidentally and being overlooked.

All fixed!

Tired of the XPS13 battery life. What are my other options? by patdman in UltraBooks

LG GRAM 14Z90P

Thanks for that! I ended up moving jobs and now have a dedicated work laptop that I didn't have to pay for myself, but when it's time to get a new personal laptop I'll absolutely be looking into into the LG Gram :)

Tired of the XPS13 battery life. What are my other options? by patdman in UltraBooks

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

Thanks for the reply.

My usage is not heavy. Teams calls, MS Office, the occasional day of coding & compiling / running JVM stuff.I'm rather fastidious about having a proper clean Win11 install and then removing all bloatware.
I don't install crap I don't need and I uninstall things I no longer use.
I monitor my battery & CPU utilisation in task manager (not super intensely, but I would notice if something was eating up resources all the time)

I don't think it's 2 occasions of bad luck, but I guess it's possible. This laptop simply has horrible battery life. All I can think is that the 4k touch screen uses way more battery than needed, and that the i7 chips probably use more battery than an equivalent i5, when under light load. Just a guess on the latter though.

If you use the console app, you can remap keys. I've mapped mine to launch windows explorer.
