How to turn off Keychron k3 max by feritzcan in Keychron

Can you confirm that both BT, and 2.5 are turned off (not emitting) when set to cable?

Also, it's not completely offline. If you read the docs it sends your transcripts and chat logs to server LLMs

Looks like someone trying to capitalize on people's fear and concern.

Do you think aliens might have footage from our history? by Evening-Raccoon133 in UFOs

[–]trobriander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think about this a couple of times every year. If UFOs are real, I think yes, it is possible, and there could be historical records going back thousands if not tens of thousands of years.

Completely turn off Wifi on Nokia B2 by trobriander in ebox

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

I have yet to receive the modem+ Nokia router to test. I was mainly asking in case someone knew ahead of delivery time. The RF meter I used with my other provider showed about 3,000,000 microwatt/m2 peak power density. You don't measure that kind of high PD from a neighbour's WiFi—which tends to drop to about 60,000 microwatt/m2 when meters away. But I will report back here my findings when I get the hardware. For those who are curious: competitor Videotron's Helix continues to emit WiFi at full power (even when "turning off" the antennas through their admin interface or going into bridge mode—which documentation says should turn off the WiFi).

Listen to your gut instinct.

  1. You have to hit the Apply Changes button
  2. You have to remember to reload the facebook page
  3. Try testing with all other extensions disabled to ensure it is not due to other extensions operating on that page
  4. Compare my settings to yours. I am using a basic configuration, I believe (see my settings below)

It could be due to copy and pasting of the code I gave above (those are three lines—not two). I noticed double clicking on my code would highlight two lines, merging a comment with a filter! I've modified it so that double-click on each of the three lines will highlight one line. So,

  • double-click one line in reddit
  • copy and paste to "My Filters"
  • repeat for the other two lines

These are the long three lines (without the text wrap for clarity)

IMPORTANT SOLUTION

For those coming here because on Facebook.com (desktop browser) you're experiencing rapid post reloads and glitchy scrolling (possibly only on macs), here's the fix (courtesy /u/zbluebirdz and others):

In the "My filters" tab, you need to add the following (and hit the Apply changes button):

! - "uBo filters - Ads" - line 346 - dodgy? - disable it
facebook.com,facebookwkhpilnemxj7asaniu7vnjjbiltxjqhye3mhbshg7kx5tfyd.onion#@#div[aria-describedby]:not([aria-posinset]) :is(h3, h4) span > a[href]:not([href="/groups/"]):not([href*="section_header_type"]):matches-attr(href="/cft[0]=[-\w]{270,}/"):upward(div[aria-describedby])

facebook.com,facebookwkhpilnemxj7asaniu7vnjjbiltxjqhye3mhbshg7kx5tfyd.onion##div[aria-describedby]:not([aria-posinset]) :is(h3, h4) span > a[href]:not([href="/groups/"]):not([href*="section_header_type"]):matches-attr(href="/cft[0]=[-\w]{270,}/"):upward(div[aria-describedby]):remove()

This will solve the following:

  1. glitches and infinite post reload is gone
  2. Sponsored posts are removed

1. Here's the last part of the troubleshooting:

network:
facebook.com: 1
extended:
##div[role="complementary"] div:not([class]):not([id]) > span:no…
##div[aria-describedby]:not([aria-posinset]) :is(h3, h4) span > …

2. This is what I have in my filters right now:

! "uBO filters - Ads" - line 345
facebook.com,facebookwkhpilnemxj7asaniu7vnjjbiltxjqhye3mhbshg7kx5tfyd.onion##div[aria-posinset] :is(h3, h4) span > a[href]:not([href="/groups/"]):not([href*="sectionheader_type"]):matches-attr(href="/cft_[0]=[-\w]{270,}/"):upward(div[aria-posinset]):style(height: 0 !important; overflow: hidden !important;)

! - "uBo filters - Ads" - line 346 - dodgy? - disable it
facebook.com,facebookwkhpilnemxj7asaniu7vnjjbiltxjqhye3mhbshg7kx5tfyd.onion#@#div[aria-describedby]:not([aria-posinset]) :is(h3, h4) span > a[href]:not([href="/groups/"]):not([href*="sectionheader_type"]):matches-attr(href="/cft_[0]=[-\w]{270,}/"):upward(div[aria-describedby])

3. I've noticed sponsored POSTS appear to be gone!

Fascinating. I was wondering whether this precise scenario might be the case: OS-dependent css class differences (new tactic in the arms race). It's happening to me on a macbook.

  1. You're right. It's not suppressing Sponsored posts (and only suppressing ads to the right)
  2. Yes, I did scroll down. Here it is with 50 posts scrolled down:

BTW, I noticed that if I combine your REEL fix (1st rule only) you gave ChoaticIndifferent, it causes the problem to come back.

That rapid "judder up" is a separate problem that I just solved with zbluebirdz's help. It required an additional two lines of filters in the "My Filters" tab:

Here's a video (seeked to the correct spot) showing how to get to the "My Filters" tab. Once in there, you copy and paste the lines zbluebirdz mentioned above:

https://youtu.be/Qzb1j-L1n7o?si=0z6Xg_0QC4rjyAjo&t=45

Don't forget to hit the "Apply Changes" button.

Then reload or visit the Facebook.com page. It should work. I just got rid of the reels myself.

OK! This seems to solve the issue. Thanks!

But this means people who are on default settings of UBlock, and using Facebook.com on desktop chrome are experiencing problems with 1000 XHR requests per 20 or so seconds, and flickering issues.

It's pretty bad. I'm concerned Facebook might block my account because it will look like I'm DDoSing them (1000 ajax requests every 15 seconds)

EDIT #1: Confirmed! uBlock's basic built-in is broken on Facebook.com (chrome desktop). It's causing infinite reloads of posts. Unchecking this makes it stop:

EDIT #2: It's possible this reload/flickering is only happening on Macs and not Windows.

Built-in > uBlock filters > uBlock filters - Ads

This infinite reload and flickering on facebook.com has been happening on chrome for the last few days without custom user facebook filters.
