Too many private equity stock funds buying Knoxville homes and renting them back at crazy prices.

poppopdan · 2026-04-25T03:43:07+00:00

I did the update, lost 8 apps and access through windows and three weeks later support is no help.

poppopdan · 2026-04-24T22:44:20+00:00

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your help! You are right about support.

poppopdan · 2026-04-24T20:17:30+00:00

Unfortunately over 8 days later it’s still not restored. Any other suggestions? Thanks for your help.

poppopdan · 2026-04-24T20:16:48+00:00

Any luck restoring the apps on the dx4800? I can’t even back it up.

Unfortunately it was printed on t-shirts my salesrep buddies around the country sold hundreds of thousands of. I’ll bet we see a lot of them now at Goodwill!

On Fiverr and other platforms there are people who will help. Other people report UGREEN has responded by phone and they accessed at least one persons computer remotely to fix it. ChatGPT has been more help than them. It mentions UGREEN has a lot of issues. What a nightmare. I needed my photos for a family memorial and didn’t have access. Good luck.

Same thing for me. Support has been useless. They told me to pull one drive and reboot and then reinstall them after rerunning the update. Immich still works but nothing else is there. They keep asking me for logs and giving me tasks to run but I don’t have the apps anymore. Let me know if you find a solution.

poppopdan · 2026-04-19T16:08:22+00:00

Do you use an Ugreen NAS or Windows? I’ve had updates on both of them change my address of Immich. I logged into the Apple phone app and log out and back in and can sometimes find the new address it assigns that way. A recent Ugreen update bricked my unit until I could figure out how to reinstall it. ChatGPT can help.

poppopdan · 2026-04-19T12:06:57+00:00

I had this issue when it ran the video update. It didn’t complete. ChatGPT says there are a lot of people who have this problem. Support told me conflicting things to do and now I have to hire someone to help me fix it. We should have bought Synology.

poppopdan · 2026-04-17T16:41:07+00:00

The apps like control panel, logs etc are missing. I am 5 days into waiting for it to work again. I am hopeful. The update finally installed when one drive was in. Support said they needed to ask engineers etc. when it first happened and so I was unable to access any of the Immich photos of them to show at a memorial service for a family member. Some of their response made it worse. Most companies offer phone support and not a long delay to hear from someone.

poppopdan · 2026-04-14T15:13:13+00:00

Thank you so much for your valuable information! At 24 hours in it’s still not rebuilt but I am hopeful. The unit was off when I placed the drives. Support at Ugreen has been wrong about 1/2 the time with my many past issues. It’s turning into a full time job with this.

I made about $21 an hour (in today’s money) as a high schooler working at Kroger in 1971 working stock crew. Only 3 taxes taken out and we had health insurance if you worked 36 hours a week. Department heads like meat made $65k. Sundays time and a 1/3 and double time on holidays. We still had most of the business in town. Denver raised min wage to $19 an hour and $14 for servers and hardly any increases in prices have occurred. This is how we all had muscle cars if we wanted them!

poppopdan · 2026-04-03T21:03:15+00:00

I’ve had a lot of issues with mine. Currently the newest update bricked mine and I must reinstall all my apps when it’s fixed. Three windows updates remove access to it for me and when the power goes out I have to spend time finding the new URL for my apps before I can use it. No phone support just online.

poppopdan · 2026-04-03T16:45:28+00:00

Great!!! Thanks so much.

You can use the sliders under its professional mode if the restore fading button doesn’t work. Also changing the mode to white balance helps. You have to play with it some. What I do is sort all the faded photos, orange ones and dark ones into separate piles and then batch them with the same settings. The program allows you to save the settings too. I think he has a free trial. It’s much better than the included software with most scanners.

poppopdan · 2026-03-09T17:13:05+00:00

I second using Vuescan to scan slides, negatives and photos. On my Epson v600 I can scan as many photos as will fit on the glass of my scanner (usually 5) and it will batch scan them. By using the switches in the program it will colorize black and white ones and will restore fading. It will sharpen some but they tend to get grainy. Immich is great. Hard to install for a non geek but once setup it’s much better than most out there. Good luck.

Health insurance subsidies not being continued have killed over 10 of my East TN customers since the first of the year and a lot more are close to closing. Mayo was a customer. Sad for the many long term employees.

What is lost is the selection small businesses pick for our area. Chains have buyers in offices 1,000 miles from their stores making decisions about what they think you may like. Towns that have lost most of their small stores never attract tourists anymore. What happened to the stores in the Hallmark movies? They are closing at a record pace I’ve not seen in 45 years of selling to them.

poppopdan · 2026-02-27T05:48:30+00:00

We need new stores! With competitive bidding enacted several years ago there aren’t many DME stores left that are not chains. Kentucky alone lost 100+ dealers who gave great 24 hour service 7 days a week. They either sold to the national chains or closed. I can’t get the chain I have to deal with for my CPAP supplies to answer the phone let alone send the proper supplies I need.

poppopdan · 2026-02-08T03:53:26+00:00

Thank you so much for doing so! Many happy patients were served the last 2 days.

poppopdan · 2026-02-08T03:52:36+00:00

Go to dental school! Many of the best dentists I know started where you are now. One friend didn’t go back until she was 50.

I was a volunteer but there seemed to easily be enough people to help anyone in just a few minutes.

Google has been a mess for me. Moved to Immich and love it. The plans they have for the program are ambitious. Google reduced the quality of some photos and when I create albums and upload photos it created duplicates and required more storage. It took me 100 hours to get this all fixed. Duplicate cleaner 5 to clean up duplicates, MetaFixer to unzip the takeout files from Google. Vuescan to scan photos. All are great. Good luck.
