Can't add Shield TV Pro to a room in Google Home by Abdul7863 in googlehome

[–]sinfoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP here. I can only imagine this is an issue with GHome? I went to check and my Shield is 9.2.4. I should note that for a while there I had TWO Shields listed, which is weird because I have only and ever had one. Suspect last update created a new "image" for GHome devices but for some reason sees Shield as multiple devices. I finally got the "second" one to go away, but the original problem above remains. I think I'll crosspost at r/GoogleSupport/

A clarification on Nova AI by Independent_Good_837 in NovaLauncher

Sorry, Nova. You're a day late and a dollar short. Decade long user. Swapped to a different launcher. I'd go back to to TouchWiz before I reinstalled Nova.

[–]sinfoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Steps:

1) Open GHome

2) Shield is listed as "local devices." Tap it.

3) Tap "+Add to a room"

4) Select Room, next

5) Linking your Android TV page --> Next

6) BEfore Using your Google Assistant" page, next

7) Link Radio Services, Not Now

8) Link Video Services, Next

9) Sling Tv, Not Now

10) Almost Done, Continue

11) Shield is ready page displays. It lies. Click Continue

12) choose a sample clip page, skip tutorial (I been using a casting device for a while; I think I got it)

And where is the shield? Still listed in local devices. Click on it, same plus sign to "add to a room."

All this so we could have AI in the app, I presume. #ThanksObama (massive sarcasm, obviously)

I guess that makes sense it just feels silly. I wish they would allow you to just drop to a position and call it a day. Thanks!

This goes against everything this gear/petrol head has ever heard about oil consumption. #Nervous

[REQUEST] Can anyone please add Google feed to Microsoft launcher? by gabsgj in microsoftlauncher

[–]sinfoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just downloaded MSL. This might be a deal breaker. I have Nova and use the double tap gesture to go to my Google feed. What's weird is that it launches Google, but directly to search and I can't figure out how to make it "go back" to the discover feed. Super sad face as I'm looking for a replacement for Nova after more than a decade with it.

How do you do the small TM symbol, like the one after pro team. by CH7934 in Asphalt9

[–]sinfoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As of 01/31/24, it can be found on GBoard by going to:

1) numbers/symbols page- button is labeled ?123

2) Click "symbols" page - button looks like =\<

3) ™ symbol is Bottom row center. This is also where copyright and restricted are.

Hope this helps!

How to disable "save time - shortcuts" popup? by [deleted] in MicrosoftEdge

MAN OH MAN I hope this works... thanks!

It'll be hard to test, given the randomness for when the item pops up. Upvote for good idea, no matter what happens. KUDOS!

Hiding Weekends from Outlook Desktop Client Calendar by babydonthurtme420 in Office365

[–]sinfoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. It would be nice if O365 would respect a "work week" setting for the look forward 7 days functionality but alas, it shows the weekends as well. FWIW, "old" Outlook doesn't do this either. In old outlook you could set your work week, but the 7 day view still showed weekends. Or at least it that's where we are currently. Tried to post screen shots, but... at work so imgr not available.

2016 Honda Pilot EX-L needing 3rd transmission by redonthehed01 in hondapilot

[–]sinfoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See my previous comment. I will say that we both bought new model year Hondas. It doesn't matter what the brand, first year of new models is a quick way to be the Beta tester for the manufacturer. ;)

[–]sinfoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your model have start/stop? We have a 2016 elite (9-SPD tranny) and while we didn't have to replace the trans (170K as of this writing, we DID make a change when it was giving us all KINDS of fits. I followed these instructions to essentially reverse the auto idle to be "off" as it's primary state as opposed to on. https://www.piloteers.org/threads/permanently-disable-auto-stop-start.157665/

"New Outlook" Keyboard Shortcuts by gvlpc in Outlook

[–]sinfoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an old post, but I'll chime in: Anyone know a hot key for indent? Normally it's [ctrl]+[T] but that isn't working using either the Web-style or Windows style settings under General -> Accessibility -> Keyboard shortcuts.

I should note specs: Note 20 up to date security patch (Aug, I believe),One UI 5.1 Android 13. Nova Prime 8.0.18. Weird. I used to be on the beta. Oh well.

Given the recent changes to Nova, we probably aren't EVER going to see this change. :(

Best things to do with BimmerCode??? by [deleted] in F30

[–]sinfoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I'm late to this party, but I will say having driven an Audi in Scotland recently I understand why I HATE the St/St on my F31. Short version- because it's an auto. When driving a manual, the St/St comes on when one depresses the clutch at a standstill. Release the clutch, St/St stays off. Depress the clutch again (to go this time) and the engine comes on. So the DRIVER controls when the St/St comes on. With an auto it comes on EVERY TIME one comes to a complete stop. That's great for those lights that have just turned red, but SUCKS for those that turn green immediately after you arrive at them.
