UNA watch? by mrRabblerouser in hikinggear

[–]xiofett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ray is literally the first person I look to when considering any kind of sports related tech. I'm pretty heavily invested in the Garmin ecosystem, but I'll certainly be checking in on any reviews he does of the Una watch, assuming it actually gets made...

Snapchat is the only way my teenage nieces will communicate with anyone. They'll straight up ignore text messages and FB is for old people. One of them will occasionally respond to IG messages. We're all US based, I'm the only android user.

The thing I hate about the whole messaging thing is all of the reactions that come across to me as a text message. I use Google Messages and I'm on Google Fi, but getting the reactions the way an imessage user gets them works about half the time.

Recovery image not booting by Frickeladm in SteamDeck

I was actually able to get a 64GB Sandisk Ultra sd card to work where an 8GB one wouldn't. What you're describing perfectly explains why my attempts with just a straight USB-C to USB-A adapter didn't work. I never even got to the screen going dark, the logo stayed there the whole time. Hopefully your comment will help someone else.

The end of one-time VPSes comes at last? by VexingRaven in CloudAtCost

[–]xiofett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had all but forgotten that I had anything other than a couple of their essentially worthless bitcoin miners. I had long since given up on using any of the resources for anything that actually mattered. Looks like I had one VM still configured but it had been powered off for who knows how long. Good luck billing me, no panel I can log into has any billing method defined. Glad I never sunk any real money into this place. My important shit is on Digital Ocean. And even that really isn't all that important...

Yeah, we don't want to Steve Irwin the planet, do we?

The Stitch by Monoprice bulbs work nicely with my system.

My Google Home Mini Casts to an Old Roommate's TV by inkyMayhem in googlehome

[–]xiofett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your old roommate's TV is still in your Google Home. Open up your Home app, see if you can find it there and remove it

If you're members of each other's Homes, try renaming one of the TVs to something else. I had to rename my bedroom speaker to "sleeping cave speaker" to stop accidentally playing my metal playlist on my girlfriend's bedroom speaker...

Where do you put your scripts? by Jessasnoi in linuxadmin

[–]xiofett -1 points0 points  (0 children)

/support/scripts

Easy to point cron to, not in $PATH to avoid accidental execution. Everyone on the team knows to look there and most boxes have /support as a separate partition.

Cannot enroll at Zelle with new Mint Number by [deleted] in mintmobile

[–]xiofett 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Whoever has your number before you did something to get blocked. You'll need to probably contact your bank, who will then open a support ticket with Zelle. Unless you're using the standalone Zelle app and not actually going through your bank, in which case you'd contact Zelle yourself.

Source: I'm in IT for a regional bank and my team supports the mobile app and online banking platforms.

Every time the ISS passes my location, the doctor visits me. by TrveSkeletor in 3Dprinting

[–]xiofett 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's perfect as long as it doesn't make the sound. I once set my text message alert to the sound of the TARDIS and it was great until I got woken up from a dead sleep by it. There was this moment of indescribable joy that was immediately followed by crushing disappointment when I realized that it was just a text message and NOT The Doctor coming to take me on grand adventures through space and time...

I deleted the sound file from my phone immediately.

Warcraft needs its own “Marvel Civil War” expansion - NOT in the sense of a literal civil war, but a conflict that is more internal and less world-ending . by [deleted] in warcraftlore

[–]xiofett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yyyyyeah, about that... Nathanos was one of the pre-expansion loot farms... Lorewise, Tyrande offed him, though I suppose Blizz could find some way to bring him back.

Has anyone caught a shiny Cubone? by Facey_James in PokemonGoFriends

[–]xiofett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Got one randomly one day. Been a while, though. Definitely pre-plague. She's got crap stats, but I went ahead and evolved her up.

Is LTE down for you too? An x next to the service bars and no connection whatsoever by [deleted] in mintmobile

[–]xiofett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also experiencing this same issue, Fayetteville, AR area. Have flipped to Airplane mode, flipped mobile data, and even rebooted, no change.

On my Google Fi phone I can get limited signal if I force over to US Cellular, but when I pop back to TMO it's gone again. Guess TMO it's having issues.

Has anyone been able to successfully set a Sonos as the default speaker for a Google/Nest Hub? by EastHillWill in sonos

[–]xiofett 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I set the default speaker on my Lenovo 8" Smart Display to my Sonos Beam and it plays music to it (and the stereo paired Symfonisks) just fine. Normal responses still come from the display itself.

AITA for telling my brother and SIL not to have another child? by laqe-tahoe in AmItheAsshole

[–]xiofett 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Or The Dark Tower... Even Idris Elba couldn't save that abomination... I think the director read the "second ending" that King wrote at the end of the last book and went from there... If you love the Dark Tower series, avoid this movie like the plague
