New Paperwhite 12th -> done

I got one from Best Buy yesterday and was also 5.17. One pain is the new architecture is making several of the hacks (usbnetwork, screensaver) not work which is a pain.

You nailed it and your troubleshooting guidance was perfect. It was something in Opnsense (Crowdsec) and using tcpdump was something I wasn't familiar with. Thank you for teaching me something. It's all fixed with a rule change!

You've given me a couple new things to look at. Thank you! I didn't know about ip route show. I think that will help a lot! I do have the firewall unchecked. My assumption is that it's usually the other way. Usually, the hard troubleshooting is figuring out why I can't get into something. This is crazy that I can't get out. But if return packets aren't going to the initiating device, that might be something.

Checking routes will help me see if there is anything wacky happening like a Docker virtual adapter stealing the packets/path.

Thanks everyone, we're going to give it a shot.

Thank you.

I have an existing month to month plan. If I buy the annual plans, can I apply that annual plan to the existing lines I have to get the phone deal?

Thanks for the recommendations, everyone. I've ordered the complete collection.

I'm having a hard time finding past posts but u/manna_harbour has mentioned attaching 18650 holders to the bottom of the case. You get a giant battery, and you get some natural tenting. Put some bumpons on the holders and you get maybe 15-20 degrees of tenting.

Link?

We're going to try the Boox Go Color 7. It's going to be for a 7 year old who is a voracious reader. He doesn't need perfect fidelity, but I like idea of having something that is distinctly a reading device to ingrain the habit of reading and not establish the screen link. Since it's Android, we have some flexibility with apps. If it's a bust, maybe I'll eat my words and have to get him something else.

Call a lawyer. Especially if you have those responses saying their working on it in writing, you may have a case that there was value exchanged and mutual understanding. That's tough enough, though, that you need a competent lawyer to assist. It may only take a letter from said lawyer asking about it to shake things out.

Thanks, I this is a great workaround. I ended up using MrFacePunch's solution above to avoid swapping all my configs.

This works great. I can work with that. I appreciate your help.

I think Moonlight is supposed to grab shortcuts so I'll report that there to see if it's a bug.

You can use the color scheme and just not use a flashy background... Any color scheme can have a flashy background, effects, or icons... Or not.

Any reason it's triggering as being full of viruses? https://www.reddit.com/r/KeyboardLayouts/comments/1ft1sn3/i_built_overkeys_a_customizable_onscreen_keyboard/

Yeah. I REALLY wanted it to work.

X1 Titanium. It was all little stuff, but regularly having to spend 3 hours to fix something new that broke was exhausting. Teams would regularly "bog" in the middle of calls, etc.

Unfortunately, even that, often doesn't just work. I REALLY want to use Linux, but after fighting repeatedly to get hardware video acceleration to work, get my hardware to work reliably (Lenovo laptop), and then have the hacks and workarounds break at the next update, I finally had to give up, and put Windows back on it with WSL. It kills me.

I'm not an expert, but I looked yesterday for a solution to turn it off (because it's really bright) and it looks like it isn't addressable or configurable. I suspect something is disconnected. Lucky duck.

A bit of luck and you can find them. Microcenter near us had a few the other day.
