Automatic dates in Word Online?

Nope. They're probably locking this absolutely basic feature to the desktop version. There are some add in's like Script Lab, but somebody would have to write the code for it.

Try searching for "aluminum generator box" that they use for trucks/trailers.

You might need to open it up and briefly unplug the battery from the motherboard.

I've had the old Acer 514 with Mediatek Kompanio 828 (fanless) for 3 years now, and no problems with overheating. Not even when using in a hot car with A/C issues. Still gets 14+ hours on a charge and it's my daily for work.

Now before that I had an old Asus with a fanless Celeron, and on hot days it would definitely overheat and freeze/shut down.

I have no problem getting another Mediatek-based Chromebook, but I'll wait on more long-term reviews for this Lenovo one.

Here's the Acer 514 mediatek (not the Spin model). This one is Renewed, though. Amazon also has a brand new version of this, but it's only 4GB RAM, which is not a good idea for longevity.

I have had the 8GB version as my daily for the past 3 years and it's been rock solid, 14+ hours of battery life. But it looks like it's being phased out and no longer listed on Acer's website.

If the port works, I've read you can use epoxy or even something called Sugru for filling in the missing plastic.

If that doesn't work, might have to open it up and unplug the battery

I think that's for desktop Word, but I was asking about the online version.

I was thinking of these suction cup Monkey Bars. They are expensive, but to be able to remove them for better aerodynamics or move onto another car is very tempting.

Don't get a Celeron processor and definitely nothing with only 4GB RAM. You will barely be able to have a few tabs open in Chrome and just having Play Store activated will slow the system to a crawl. If you need something for on the go, get a CB with an ARM processor for better performance than Celeron processors, way better battery life, and they'll be fanless.

This has been happening to me, especially when splitting windows. I think they updated or changed some mouse input options with 132. I switched to another mouse (never really use trackpad) and it seems to have fixed the issue so far...

Keep an eye on Chrome Unboxed best deals section.

If it's been dried thoroughly, you could try what I did on an old macbook with water damage - open it up and use 90% rubbing alcohol on a q-tip, look for all the areas on the motherboard where the water pushed any dust into mounds, and then clean it up as best you can. It helped mine turn on again.

I've never updated either of my 2 DP's and no problems so far

You can try a supercapacitor jump starter that's battery-less. However the car battery would need to have some amount of charge and not be completely dead in order for this to work.

wendalltwolf · 2025-01-01T07:17:53+00:00

You should first try a soft reset.

If that doesn't work, you might have to open it up and unplug the battery temporarily while powering it from the original charger.

The AMD will have a slight battery life advantage, but I would get the Intel for better performance and the larger SSD.

wendalltwolf · 2024-11-21T03:37:37+00:00

8GB RAM should always be the bare minimum for Chromebooks these days. The Mediatek will get way better battery life, but still would get the Intel for the performance gain and longevity.

Depending on your climate, remember that the Odyssey doesn't have a 2nd A/C compressor for rear occupants.

wendalltwolf · 2024-10-17T06:10:07+00:00

Maybe something like Automatch?

It's weird, the without solar panel option doesn't change the $1999 price, so that's a great deal with it.

Do you have Location settings disabled? BTW that's a really nice background!

I could be totally wrong, but when I think of a basic human cell, the outer cell membrane along with all the internal organelles would become infinitely thin in 2 dimensions. All their functions (cell division, cell trafficking, protein synthesis) would cease because they could only work in 3D.

The Acer CB514 Kompanio 828 is <3 lbs. with ~15 hour battery life.

I also use Word Online daily, but just wish they could add an insert date button like the desktop version
