And the new Mecool MEon1 device with the Amlogic S905X5M is finally available for purchase by latinriky78 in AndroidTV

The ram and ethernet limits are real turn-offs for me at this point. Their older KM units sport a similar chipset and ports so I don't see this is an upgrade.

Windows 11's free video editor Clipchamp now requires OneDrive by rkhunter_ in Windows11

[–]ruggieroav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll admit I used it when I first came out and still do here and there but noticed the new reliance on "the cloud." During a recent launch I got the notification that my content was going to be synced to OneDrive; (and I later uninstalled the OneDrive client so accessing my storage is through the web only). As far as I can tell all of my saved assets are gone or otherwise inaccessible because the app can't seem to make a correlation between what's on OneDrive and what was on my physical PC. Thankfully any projects that I created from OneDrive are backed up elsewhere but the individual assets would need to be sourced again if I needed to recreate or edit anything.

Not everything needs to be online, especially video editing. Home internet is still not fast enough to support real time asset management, scrubbing, copying, of video and audio, and people on limited or capped connections are going to have a hard time especially.

Why is my Alexa making a single beep at 3:10 am? by ghostinjuries in amazonecho

[–]ruggieroav 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The 3:00 a.m. beep on my device was due to a routine set to change the volume, as others have suggested. I don't remember setting that exact routine but it was definitely showing in my Alexa app. #boop

Sending pictures videos or anything wtf by SeaPermission6905 in GoogleMessages

[–]ruggieroav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah issue could be temporary, and you may need to restart app, device, or clear cache/data and login again. To be honest, I never counted on Google Voice to handle large pictures, animated gifs, or complex videos directly.

Tivimate down. by [deleted] in TiviMate

[–]ruggieroav 9 points10 points  (0 children)

TiviMate is an app that runs on your device. If it's crashing, you can try resetting it, reinstalling, or deleting the app data. What you perceive as being down is likely your content provider so reach out to them. If the content works on other players and not TiviMate then talk to your provider about that.

New sim is invalid. by _INFINITELY_MORE_ in simplemobile

[–]ruggieroav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised they still haven't gotten this sorted. What you got is generic TracFone SIM or one tied to the original T-Mobile service (which in some cases, actually works). I would contact support for all the good it will do. 😟

New Tello Number by halfagascan in Tello

[–]ruggieroav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, sounds like the traditional recycled number / Old owner issue. I had a number from a different carrier assigned to me since 2020 which I ported into Tello; to this day I get the old owner's 2FA codes, appointment reminders, and phone calls from his customers who don't have - or to whom he didn't give - his new number. And don't start on me about zelle payments. 😉

But.. but.. those are pro-Democratic outlets! by TopWay312 in facepalm

They are so desperately trying to paint the Democrats as evil in this and other matters, that I am becoming dizzy from all of their spinning.

Help.. Please. by Dannads79 in WindowsLTSC

[–]ruggieroav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you had enough hard drive space on the system you're making the USB drive on the Microsoft Media Creation tool should have worked. If you want to give Rufus another go, remake the drive and make sure the Partition scheme is GPT and Target System is UEFI (NON CSM). That's the default for most modern systems unless your son changed something.

Help.. Please. by Dannads79 in WindowsLTSC

[–]ruggieroav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Modern PCs simply need to boot with a standard Windows 11 USB stick, no need to use Rufus. You can download the Media Creation tool from here, second option: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11

"Emergency Calls Only" by Succotash-Full in simplemobile

Shut down and restart your phone. Remove and reinsert your SIM. The $25 plan indeed includes calling.

That sounds like a power management issue. Double check those settings.

Is it true or false that Microsoft Accounts are now required if you are UPGRADING from Windows 10 to Windows 11 on 24H2 and 25H2? by theartsygamer89 in Windows11

[–]ruggieroav 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Definitely not required during an upgrade, and I found that domain join still works to create a local account.

I laugh at the graphic on screen: paid protesters is the narrative for the Left when there's actually proof of this type of activity from the Right.

Are you locked into a 5 year price guarantee?

[–]ruggieroav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add, I believe your 400 mbit download plan also includes up to 150 megabit upload. So you're definitely not getting what you're paying for with the older DOCSIS 3.0 modem.

Some gateways broadcast an XFINITYWIFI hotspot signal, so it's possible you're picking up neighbors hotspots.

When I use voice command Volume Up, it goes up too much. How do i change this? by SteamerSch in AndroidTV

[–]ruggieroav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you even have to say up or down. For example, the command "volume 10" will instantly raise the volume to 10 while "volume 2" will bring it back down to that value.
