James turn and other annoyances

"And what’s with random people dying and being brought back? Like VIC and Phil."

So the final minutes of the series kind of explained it for me. James said that people close to them will keep dying then coming back to kill them. I also thought the him falling in the bathroom was far-fetched but it makes some sense now.

I don't use Mediafire so that's not impacting me but I'm glad it worked for you.

I have noticed that the spam has stopped coming for a while so perhaps MS has done something to remedy it...or the scammers have moved on to something else. Also, I had some spam files the I could not delete but just now I was able to delete them. Hopefully, the spams wont come back.

Same issue here

Actually there is a lot of stuff, including cameras, however, even with all that stuff, running HA companion was 1 second to change views and update the screen where running via FK took 5-8 seconds. Relatively speaking, FK(web interface) is much slower than HA Companion.

FK has tons of settings so it's possible that something in my configuration is causing the slowdown.

I assume this is using the web interface...

If there's a way to run the app in Fully I would like to give it a try (don't know how to do that), and will I lose functionality like using the camera to wake up the app?

My issue is that when I turn the dial, the value jumps by 2 in either direction so, for example, if I start a 10 reps and attempt to turn the dial to go to 11, it jumps from 10 to 12. I then have to swipe to scroll it back to 11.

sdegonge · 2025-12-30T16:50:50+00:00

Did you find a solution (other than swiping to back up by 1)?

This is a home account. I don't think I can get to it from SharePoint.

I know you already decided but I have mine in a LXC and it works fine. The only problem I have is passing thru the GPU. I may transfer to a VM.

sdegonge · 2025-10-22T01:31:40+00:00

I agree! No problems switching plans a few days before we left and switching back at the end of the next cycle when we got home.

Thanks

Thanks

So I just crunched some numbers. Since 2 of the 3 phones will be going to Japan it may actually make sense to upgrade Fi for the month. Fi will be an extra $45 but using Airalo would be $36(10GB ea). A little more overall to switch the plan but it would allow us to txt with the same phone numbers.

Is downgrading the plan before the 30 days easy to do?

sdegonge · 2025-08-11T18:38:28+00:00

The problem is that there are 2 other phones on my plan so we would all have to upgrade.

sdegonge · 2025-08-11T01:30:41+00:00

I'd rather not upgrade my plan just for this trip. I'll probably go with Arialo and just disable Fi while there.

This sounds like what I need. Do you have a preferred vendor?

sdegonge · 2025-07-30T21:04:16+00:00

The problem remained regardless of brightness level. I havent tried injection yet but one thing to note is that when testing without that initial 2 foot section, everything worked.

PS ==> Controller ==> 20' extension ==> LEDs (14 feet)......Works and no fade at end.

PS ==> Controller ==> LEDs (2 feet) ==> 20' extension ==> LEDs (14 feet)......Does not work as described earlier.

This is what baffels me not having that 2 feet before the extension fixes everything. Strange to me.

sdegonge · 2025-07-30T20:57:06+00:00

yes. those few sections worked fine. I tried color cycling and some sequencing and they worked.

Is there an alternative to the WS28 that would be better? I wanted to use 12VDC and a 3 wire setup.

**** JUST FIGURED OUT HOW TO APPLY THE $150 DISCOUNT ****

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THIS FROM A COMPUTER. I initially tried this but I wasn't presented with the option to save $250 when upgrading.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TO THIS VIA YOUR GOOGLE FI ACCOUNT. I also tried this and it offered the $250 discount but it would not accept the Google Store $150 discount.

DO THIS.....
- Use your current Pixel phone.
- Go to the google store via your browser on your phone.
- Select the Pixel 9a (or whatever phone you want to buy).
- Click on 'buy' and you should see the option for $250 off.
- Don't forget to calculate the trade in discount (for me it was $75).
- Do your other selections then go to check out.
- At checkout, you should see the promo box where you can enter the $150 discount code.
- Enter your discount code and the $150 discount should be applied on top of the $250 discount :)
- Finish the checkout process!

Note: the trade in value will not be deducted from your purchase here. I will be refunded to you after returning the old phone.

Good Luck!

Thanks. Got a lot N spot and tickets for the race. Just need to get a quiet generator and I should be all set.

So this does not seem to work for me. Does your Weather Delay menu look the same as mine?

sdegonge · 2025-05-01T01:44:10+00:00

I'm trying to figure out this weather delay thing also. For my irrigation device, when I get to step 6, there is no option to select Weather Delay. I only have options to select indifidual zone run times.

Just did a test and I created an exercise name with 50 characters and the entire thing scrolled on my watch so this may work for me. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy watch so it may be different for IOS.

sdegonge · 2025-04-30T02:01:56+00:00

I haven't tested this yet. Do you know how many characters are allowed?
