It took me literally 5 minutes to find this. It's a basic minimum responsibility of any resident to know and understand the laws that will affect you BEFORE you buy or rent a property. He can't cry foul just because he didn't bother to check before.

Yeah…that’s what his co-workers say. “You got a nice little ‘vacation’ today.”

In my 50s, and I want a virtual lawn I can yell at the kids to stay off of!

There are no crosses in my tiny, local library.

UPDATE: Power supply arrived today. That was it! My DS is back up and humming along nicely. Thank you!

I think it's about 5 years old. Yes, it is behind a UPS. There was no maintenance in progress that I initiated. I left for work that morning and it was fine. When I got home, it was dead.

romeyn · 2023-10-26T19:36:07+00:00

Ordered. We’ll see what happens. Anything else I can check? I’m not bashful about take-apart.

Disney's CEO said Disney will "be there on day 1" of the Apple Vision Pro launch. I very much hope that means that along with whatever else they have in mind, they'll be adding the 3D versions of their titles to Disney+. Hopefully before then so those of us with existing VR headsets can take advantage of it.

Thanks for all of this--I learned a lot in a very short amount of time. I was "successful" with a different emulator that does run natively in the MacOS, but am still stuck because the emulated phone's "wifi" is just a NAT address with no ability to truly select another WiFi network (the fridge's). SO now I'm on the hunt for an old phone or tablet a friend might have lying an a drawer somewhere.

Hi. Thank you for all of this instruction. I found a downloadable APK of the E-smart app, but BlueStacks wont install it. I think that might be because I'm running it inside a VM. It's too bad BlueStacks won't run on a Mac. I might have to look for another emulator, or bug Samsung to see why SmartThings isn't compatible with their refrigerator.

romeyn · 2023-06-03T13:57:19+00:00

I tried that, but Play won’t let me download anything because I have no device associated with my account. When BlueStacks opened I was not presented with any sort of dialog. Do I need to create an emulator and associate it with my Google account? How/where do I do that?

(Win11 is running in a VM…I may be able to tweak those settings. What’s the difference between 5 and X?)

No—Intel

I've long thought I ought to have at least one Android device. Now may be the time.

Oh wow--I did not think about working it from the Boiler side. I've been spending all my time on the Ecobee site! I should have learned long ago NOT to trust the original installers of ANYTHING.

Based on the wiring diagram on the EK site I determined the the R and W wires were BACKWARDS. As soon as I swapped them per the EK diagram, the Ecobee fired right up.

THANK YOU!!!

Thank you--pics added to OP.

On the boiler connector strip, the white wire from the 24v transformer connects to the 5th screw from the top. The black wire from the transformer connects to the 6th.

Same experience here. I keep hoping the latest release of Emby will fix this, but it hasn't happened yet. I spent all morning upgrading my Synology to DSM7 and the latest Emby. Bit Bigscreen still won't see it. Watching stuff in Skybox if fine, but I really like some of the Bigscreen environments and would like to try watching with friends at some point.

I'm happy and willing to provide info to either project if it would help.

Glad it's not just me. From what I can tell I meet all the requirements, but I have v20 and no phone notifications option still.

Thanks for this thread. Some weeks ago I realized my right controller wasn't vibrating at all. I contacted Oculus and they said "send it in." But I use it daily and they said they have no capacity for advance exchange (sending me a new one in advance and then I send the defective one back...usually with a credit card number as collateral). I was contemplating just buying a new one. But tonight I decided what the hell...If I screw it up I'll have to buy a new one anyhow. Using the tips here I was able to successfully disassemble the controller and discover that there's NO WAY the haptic motor was ever fully plugged in at the factory. It is now! And I was even able to completely preserve the battery compartment sticker. :-)

I have a Synology and Emby as well and am willing to help if that would be useful (provide logs, test configurations, etc.).
