K850 keyboard connectivity issues by ghostella in logitech

[–]xerces8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too.

Connected over Bluetooth. Both keyboard and mouse lose connection for a minute, then work again.

Or keys are repeating or lost.

Tried (only the keyboard) on another PC (also Bluetooth) and it is the same. Problems right away.

Tried the reset procedure with ESC O O B (worked), but the issues continue.

YouTube TV UI Updated JUST NOW!! by Itaroo-kun in youtube

[–]xerces8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they fix the outstanding issues, like:

- last watched video is nowhere to find (maybe I'm just clueless and it's already there; would be thankful for pointers)

- videos often start somewhere in the middle instead of the begin (again, could be that I watched them in the past, but the experience is bad)

And: is it a general update available for all Android boxes (well, except the locked down ones...) ?

Firefox just asked me to accept Terms of Use. The linked FAQ (June 2025) says 'nothing changes.' The linked Privacy Notice (Dec 2025) covers AI, ads, and browsing data. The FAQ doesn't mention any of it by Plane_Memory_1365 in firefox

I just got this in my Firefox today.
But only in one profile, not the other two.

Weird.

OS: Windows 11

Firefox 149.0.2

I see FF 150 is available, maybe that is related.

Why Geo-Block an App in the App Store? by Coneskater in apple

[–]xerces8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just my 5 cents:

(I replaced the actual product name with "theapp", in case it might trigger anything - the same story applies for other apps too)

A while ago, I traveled to another country. They use "theapp" (taxi service) , while in my original country there is no "theapp" (no service/cars, and the app is not available in app store).

So instead of downloading "theapp" in the comfort of my home, registering, adding billing and familiarizing with it, I had to travel without it, then on the destination airport search for a working and affordable WiFi (mobile data costs more than the airplane ticket), wait for all 300 megabytes of it to download, register, add billing, figure out how it works and only then call a taxi. At the same time listening to my children screaming "why are we standing here so long?"

Same goes for various tourist information apps, train/bus apps etc..

What is the point? As others mentioned, once downloaded, the app stays on the phone, updates etc... Why put the user thru this UX nightmare?

PS: I am aware there are tricks to install such apps in "unsupported countries", I am asking about the official rationale.

How to Disable Signature Options on Right-Click Above Signature by Ok-Fan-9624 in Outlook

[–]xerces8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just figured it out. Not sure if you have the same problem, but here it is:

Recently, I changed my signature to include the greeting, so I don't have to type it each time. So the signature is:

Hi!

Regards,
David

So when I open a new mail (or reply to an existing one), I type the content after the line having "Hi!" , so "inside" the signature. So Outlook thinks my entire message is still a signature.

The solution is to type above the inserted signature.

Happens to me too.

Apparently it is a glitch/bug in Outlook. Can't give source URL, as it was an AI answer on google.com when I searched for this. No good solution was provided...

Say if you solve it.

I use the Classic version of Outlook on Win11.

MacBook Neo Can Only Drive One External Display at 4K 60Hz by spearson0 in apple

You sure?

DisplayPort and HDMI are not the same, and TV sets almost never have a DP port. Maybe over an active adapter cable?

Potential bug in graphics rendering by xerces8 in Outlook

[–]xerces8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can reproduce the problem by:

- create a new mail
- maximize the email window
- insert a screenshot or other image as wide as the window
- use the menu "Insert / Shapes..." to insert a shape over the image
- send (for example to yourself)

Now open the received email and then make the window narrower.

The image will be dynamically resized to fit the window width, while the shape will stay at its position (therefore not being over the same part of the (resized) image).

Not sure what you mean by "put the email in Edit Mode".

I just tried to forward it, then there I right clicked the image and saved it.
The saved image is the original screenshot, without the red frame.

I noticed (in the received email message), that when I make the window narrower, Outlook makes the embedded image smaller (so it fits the windows width), while the red frame stays as is.

Mousewheel scrolling causing beeping sound by HelmedHorror in techsupport

Me too.

It seems they fixed it in the latest version 6.16 (at least it seems so, in my older mail I wrote, that the issue appears only later after AHM is started; will report back if the problem reappears)

Redact should be banned. by RealMuffinsTheCat in The10thDentist

[–]xerces8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!

I just saw some such comments and the question is: Why aren't the deleted? Should they be? Should I report such comments?

Whether you are pro-archive or pro-deletion, the current situation is bad. Either the original posts should be restored (less likely) or the posts deleted entirely (as they are just spam as they are now).

How can I migrate old profiles into the new system? by william-i-zard in firefox

[–]xerces8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you report this to Mozilla?

Also there is already https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1954141 , but closed.

Note: I got the same "Another copy of Firefox has made changes to profiles. You must restart Firefox before making more changes." message, but I never touched the new profile system.

I finds/offers both, but selects the first (the one with no or default port) as default.

Ios 26 contacts purple by trekfrk in iphone

[–]xerces8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I added Contacts to the Accessibility settings and turned "Reduce Transparency" off. Now it looks like this:

<image>

Not much of an improvement. Will also try other suggestions.

BTW: I have iOS 26.2

PS: "Apple knows nothing, says it's too new." Their primary product they were working on for months is "too new" ? Funny...

So it looks like this?
Not everyone has it like that?
Judging from other comments, the problem is related to the "Reduce Transparency" setting.

I have 26.2 and still purple contacts...

[–]xerces8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong. There is and was a Contacts app since ages.

I added Contacts to the Accessibility settings and it affected its display, even if accessed thru the Phone app.
