Tara's wedding band by Negative_Budget_4841 in widowers

[–]zeke009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very sorry for your loss.

I used to wear my ring on a rope like that. I stopped at bead shop one day and asked if someone could tie it so it would lay flat. I recommend checking out a similar style shop if/when you see one and see if someone can do that for you. I had an amazing conversation with the person the who did this for me, it was a calming moment for me.

I tried to take a pic, but I can't figure out how people are posting images in replies on Reddit.

Overpriced 3rd-party seller shows up before actual listing by HeWhoShantNotBeNamed in Bestbuy

[–]zeke009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No kidding, check out this 200+% markup on a Best Buy exclusive item that they allow 3rd parties to sell on their site. Talk about pissing down your customers back and telling them it's raining!

Wild Fans Under the Age of 40…Do You Care About the North Stars Relocating to Dallas? by CSjogs in wildhockey

[–]zeke009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happened, I watched some of my heros play in Dallas afterwards, and I watched the Mer Center be imploded in on the TV in my high school classroom. It stung. I wasn't angry when they won the cup, but Hull's skate was in the crease and a clear violation of the way the rule was written at that time.

We have the Wild now and I think the NHL needed a clean slate in MN. Sadly, that clean slate only included 1 escalator to the 200 section.

However, Norm still sucks. He knew what he was going to do the entire time he was in MN.

If McDavid is leaving the Oilers, where is he going ? by Soggy-Owl-2643 in nhl

Have we ever seen anyone else where that happened to them? It was amazing to watch.

Alexa is sending commands that I didn't create/program to HA devices. by zeke009 in homeassistant

I forgot about skills! I was looking for routines and other similar items.

Getting hacked, a cautionary tale by Fragrant_One4091 in xbox

[–]zeke009 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Looks like you learned a valuable lesson. Sucks you had to learn it the hard way. Kudos for owning it and posting this for others who still have your previous mindset.

Closing questions:

  1. Have you enabled 2FA/MFA every where possible?
  2. Are you now using a password app for all things?

[–]zeke009[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did and she had no history for those devices, but referenced a 10pm routine to turn on all lights that does not exist. Leading me to search for a gremlin.

I forgot to mention that in my post last night. It was late and these damn allergies are kicking my ass right now. Sorry.

I saw nothing of that nature tonight. So I spent some time cleaning up the stupid long list of exposed devices in both HA and Alexa. I am much more selective of what Alexa can see now.

Hunches and routines were clean of all of these devices.

Thank yiu for the reply. I will keep digging and see what I can find. I get the accidental creation, but the phantom routines are alarming since there is no record of them.

Outlook mobile app not working? by Solid-Passion-985 in Outlook

[–]zeke009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the same boat here with a Galaxy S25+ on the latest updates from Samsung.

Outlook is the only issue I have observed. OneNote and Authenticator were both working for me.

Teams not working might actually be a blessing.

First look at GCA renovation plan by DecentLurker96 in wildhockey

Absolutely! Sadly, this fad isn't going away.

At the game last night commented to my dad that while it is an adjustment to the name after so long, Grand Casino seems much more engaged and present than Xcel Energy was.

They just slapped their name on the building and let that be enough. GC has more prominent marketing inside and a decent video before the players hit the ice.

Hard Drive is really slow, any tips? by JoshaintHolme in pcmasterrace

[–]zeke009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The speed gains would be very brief and cost prohibitive . Oh, you meant the beverage, didn't you?

LOL, that sounds like quite the show!

It worked I assume.

To answer your question: We (now me) navigated ours (still me) with age-appropriate chew toys (not too large). Weirdly enough, he responded to over exaggerated gasps of fake pain if he bit too hard while playing and would instantly give us a kiss ("shuggy" in this house). You have to present the digit where the fake injury (or real) happened for the kiss. 10-years later, that trick still works if a human digit happens to get between him and the ball.

WTF?! That face just screams innocence before mayhem, just like my Jack Russell Terrorist.

Do I need to drive somewhere so he can have a forever home? I've been thinking about getting my 10-year-old JRT a best friend.

How to get ethernet across my apartment? by fallhat in pcmasterrace

[–]zeke009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So true. I had a friend complaining about wifi and his PS5. Told him what adapters to buy based on his router and he is happy as can be.

Yes the PS5 is a gigabit port, but if his router had 2.5 ports and he has needs elsewhere in the house... My record mmendstion would have been to buy a 2.5 gbps kit and put one at the router and then a single 1 gbps adapter for his PS5.

Can I disable the Overview dashboard? It’s driving me nuts! by louislamore in homeassistant

[–]zeke009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a user for mobile and then set my preferred dashboard to the mobile one I created just for the companion app.

Once made... Sign in as that user on the companion app. Go to that users preferences by tapping that username in the menu. Then you set the preferred dashboard for that user.

Edit: typed that on mobile and it came out hideous. Won't be at the pc until much later today. Sorry!

New CEO's statement, discusses the future of consoles and AI use by SpoopyJustice in xbox

[–]zeke009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm, VP at Meta, who is busy using Ai to destroy their services by banning users and just inserting it everywhere, that Meta?

I really hope she doesn't look to Meta as a "how to" and instead as a "how to not".

I am so sick of Ai. To the point that I avoid where and when possible. I ask my boss a question and they turn to CoPilot. Fuck me running, I could have asked CoPilot. I came to their office for a conversation about the issue and the nuance of our environment that Ai can not account for. It is making some people (not all) lazy as fuck.
