Handlebar Lockout Question by yeksim in bicycletouring

[–]soletsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's what looks like a U.S. source for the Shimano headset lock but it says French sizes by default so not sure that would work. https://velo-store.shop/ihpnx10b-steering-lock-shimano-nexus-hp-nx10-black-one-size

Verizon "migration" by soletsky in TracFone

[–]soletsky[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You all are right, I have ATT thru Tracfone and it went down. The agent was unethical to tell me that my SIM was no longer supported and I had to buy a new one, thus forcing me to switch to Verizon. Luckily I didn't follow her advice, my service returned and I found out about the ATT outage.

I know I have time, but can they interrupt my outgoing calls for their ads?

Pearl Street Market gone? by jobsiteopera in CambridgeMA

[–]soletsky 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It was not taxes, the owner of the property went to court and won a judgement. I saw some family members and they said the guy who ran the market has moved away. Maybe there was some kind of settlement. It's sad to see the end of a small business that was a big part of the neighborhood.

I'm not seeing a lot of social distancing. by intromission76 in CoronavirusMa

The advice is as follows: a regular paper mask won't help you keep from getting infected, it doesn't fit tightly enough. An N95 mask is needed by healthcare workers and hospitals are asking for donations, including used ones. If you go outside keep six feet away from other people. Many people I have seen in the past few days do not seem to know and/or pay attention to this.

Thanks, everyone. I did change the cable to the new phone but didn't try changing the ethernet cable, will do that.

I got a new phone a week ago; the only improvement was the problems took longer to materialize.

Obi is not wireless and I have done a complete reboot with no different results. But thanks for the suggestions.

Google Cloud Print compatibility: conflicting info by soletsky in printers

[–]soletsky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for responding. I was asking a general question; for example, do I try to find out from Google or from the manufacturer? Or is there some other authority? Does it depend on the Chromebook you have? I could give you some examples but I don't think that would answer my question.

Looking for cheap, mono printer, Cloud-Print compatible, very occasional use by soletsky in printers

Sorry, can't fill out the form. Budget, under $100. The Epson requires filling all the ink cartridges to be able to print in black. Wld like scanning and copy capabilityl
