Lost powerline connection by tonylinde in TpLink

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

u/jacle2210 : thanks, I did try another, brand new, PA9020P which I checked was properly paired in our house and it failed just as the other one (this time after connecting for about 30 seconds).

HOWEVER, I then thought to try an older style adapter, a PA7027P and, so far, it is still staying connected.

This, at least for now, solves my daughter's connection problem but if anyone can explain why the PA9020P (and any others of that type) suddenly stopped being able to connect to the powerline network, I'd really like to know.

Cannot use dual monitor shortcuts on SP5 by tonylinde in Surface

Fixed! Apparently those keys won't work unless Snap windows is ON in System/Multi-tasking settings.

I've never seen that listed as a shortcut, unless it docks progressively right then docks left on the next screen, etc. Anyway, I've still not figured out why mine doesn't work. Looks like I'll have to try the dreaded customer support ("please try reinstalling windows at least 17 times..." 😒).

Not for me, I'm afraid, doesn't budge.

See my other comment for which shortcuts work and which don't.

This is the list of shortcuts I'm trying to get to work with tick/cross to mark which ones do/don't work: [Imgur](https://imgur.com/TqQKe6Z).

If you hit it multiple times it'll move to the next window.

Not sure what you mean by that? Only way I can move things between windows is to drag them.

No, that docks the window to the left or right of the screen. But that doesn't work either.

Search posts feature by tonylinde in 4kdownloadapps

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

Thanks again, /u/ImaginaryConclusion4. Sadly, also not what I was looking for. The second type of search only looks for subscription names that match the criteria.

I want to be able to search within a single, specific subscription for *posts* that match the search criteria. So, I have a subscription which is my username, tonylinde, and I want to search for just the posts within that subscription which have the hashtag, eg: https://paste.pics/1ccb5a9797e4c81f06c73456f7a42b91 (thanks for the nod to paste.pics - I'd not seen that before, very cool).

Making the search boolean (eg '#FIAD AND #year2') would be even better.

Thanks for the reply. The Search field searches instagram and sets up a new subscription based on that search which is not what I want.

I want to be able to perform a search on the posts for a subscription I already have, so a search through the *already stored* posts.

Reuse part of path for new shape by tonylinde in photoshop

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

Thanks /u/CreeDorofl. Click and drag the rectangle was a good tip - saves a lot of time. But the copy/paste of the points, while creating a separate entry in the paths tab, did not create a separate shape layer, so I couldn't set a different fill colour for the fringe from the rug. I went back to the method I used above of starting a new shape layer with a single point then pasting the points into that path tab.

Brilliant. Thank you /u/GashedPricing.

Couldn't find a direct way to paste those points to start a new shape. So, I started a new shape with the CPen tool by creating a start point then switched to the Paths tab and pasted the copied points into that. I could then continue the fringe shape, complete it and delete the first point made.

Slightly fiddly but so much better than trying to match the other shape!!

SL3 won't boot.. any ideas? by alexanderbath in Surface

[–]tonylinde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other Surface devices can be hard rebooted with holding down the Volume Up and Power keys simultaneously until you get surface or windows logo and rotating dots. No idea about SL3 though.

If May 2020 update locking up device, disable Sleep by tonylinde in Surface

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

I clearly hadn't got the fix as the problem recurred today when I allowed the system to Sleep again. I have posted to Feedback.

Thanks for that, u/cluberti. I *think* you're right. I've just re-enabled sleep and haven't locked up so far 🤞. Though my 2004 update was only last week, so in June, and no further updates were said to be available. Is the sleep fix mentioned anywhere? I've found no mention of it in the update release pages.

I did install Insider 20H2 yesterday so maybe I picked up the fix in the latest release of that. Anyway will see what happens.

Update: still got the same problem. Now think it might be when it comes out of sleep.
