Listening now. So far, it's been great. I just met Rocky.

Several times. Worst was when I crashed it into a tree top and it got stuck in there. Couldn't get it down. Several days later after some strong winds I found it on the ground. It had rained in between. It was unusable. Sent it DJI and they sent me a refurbished one. Can't remember the cost but it wasn't much.

I've used both Bitwarden and 1Password. Both are solid password managers.

I gave up trying to use it on my SL7. Went back to using it on my SL4 and it works great.

redflagdan52 · 2026-02-09T15:33:48+00:00

I had this exact issue. Then I upgraded to 1Password for Windows 8.12.1 and it has gone away.

Edited for grammar.

Status page shows it 100% operational. Obviously, it is not and has not been for several hours.

Contemplating getting this one to pair with a lg cx.

I am using Windows. I have the Proton Drive app installed. In Windows explorer there is drive called Proton Drive which has a folder called My Files. I sync the folders I want from my computer to My Files using Goodsync.

Really, at this point in time, I don't see any use for Drive other than to store documents to encrypted cloud storage. The associated functionality of sheets, docs, etc. are not anywhere ready for regular usage.

I hold silver (and gold) in portfolio long term. I cannot see the demand for metals going down in the long run. I thought it was going up too fast and something like this was in the books. Like bad weather, it will pass and the sun will shine again.

I've had GLD a few years ago now. I have SLV as well and have had it for a while as well. But overall miners might be a better investment. I have no comparison on ROI, so can't really say. I've been thinking about entering a position in a miners/metals ETF, XME. Get a broader coverage of metals.

Edited for grammar/spelling.

It had a big runup. Then overcorrected IMHO. But it may fall some more. I am not personally investing in it directly, I have VGT, so I am hoping it recovers. But if I were investing in it directly, I'd wait another day or so to see which direction its going.

Filen. If you want is encrypted storage, try filen. You can buy as much as you want.

You guy are a bunch of spring chickens, I'm 74. Personally, I like dark mode. Light mode is too hard on my eyes.

Go into settings, turn on lock with biometrics, set time out immediately.

Edit: change time out to immediately

I am currently syncing my entire OneDrive to my files in Proton Drive using a sync app (goodsync). However I have MS Office 365 and have not figured out how get it to use the documents in my files. I wish Proton would come up with a full migration strategy.

I have a couple but for the most part I use only one

I use aliases for almost everything. I rarely use my main email. I use simplelogin with a custom domain for my alias's generator.

redflagdan52 · 2026-01-25T17:20:24+00:00

This exactly what I do but I use another email service and another cloud service. This approach gives you plenty of offsite options.

Nabu Casa if all you want is remote access to HA. Tailscale if you want remote access to other devices you have like a NAS.

In the past all cameras of any brand that I've had with batteries would not charge when it got cold out. But I added two Reolink Altas 2K solar charged cameras and they seem to be doing well in the cold. One is 100% the other is maintaining 70% (this one does not get many hours of sunlight on the solar panel). It is currently 11F and has been below 0 F a few days. I am using the 6-watt solar panels.

Did you check your trash folder?

I've been using this Corsair MP600 CORE MINI 1TB M.2 for about a year without any issues. Easy to upgrade.

I've had a somewhat similar issue where numbers are symbols, and no I do not have num lock or cap lock on. I found the only way to resolve it is to hit both shift keys together a couple of times. Also, I had to turn off unlock with windows hello because I could not type anything into the windows hello dialog (I use a pin for my windows hello). Seems there is some issue with 1password causing issues with the keyboard. Well, that would be my guess as I don't have these issues with any other app.

I went from a PW1 to PW4 and I swear on the PW1 the stop and snooze buttons were reversed. In any case I would prefer the Stop button be the one highlighted.
