@fmb1 Even though you don’t need to upgrade your phone, do you have the new Expanded Data Network SIM? If you do not (and still have the old Sprint SIM), then your phone won’t work after 3/31/22 .

thx @FMB1

I buy some small items from China or Hong Kong and twice now I haven’t got my items after 2 months which I think is a long >enough wait. However, I have no problem getting a refund.

Pretty sure you have to request from seller. Like you over 2mo but got refund
from seller finally…
Anyway, just wanted to alert folks.
I talk to my Dr, via telehealth and she always asks first about pulse/oximeter
reading, then temp, then BP

yea the pulse oximeters are fairly useful. I got some free from a facebook group I’m in (they were begging for people to take some). When my wife was having trouble breathing a few weeks back, the teledoc was trying to withhold the covid test and make her go to the ER. We were like if she doesn’t have COVID she will probably get it there. Finally got the teledoc to give us the COVID test, it was negative thank god. Called the allergist and he asked us to use the oximeter and said that she’s fine.

PM me if you want details of the Facebook group.

thanks @FMB1

We visited MBA (and Pebble Beach) many moons ago.
Up close with the jellies and sea otters…priceless.

thanks @FMB1

@my4mainecoons said in SECURITY CERTIFICATE ERROR:

@dangeruss You didn’t know until then? I would have emailed sooner but I was trying to be patient!

No. The cert expires at a certain time, and if I’m not on the site I don’t notice it. No need to be patient. Worst case I ignore your email. Thanks again for pinging me.

thanks @FMB1

thanks @FMB1

Addendum;

NO FREE PICKUP AND RETURN LIKE AMAZON

AFAIK, returns can only be made by you physically returning them to a store.

thanks @FMB1

Thanks

@ctcarl Don’t forget to grab the wine and cheese while you’re there.

@zerenia said in Possible Huge Netflix Genre Code List:

@fmb1 SO… the 27,000 codes list does work, but there have to be titles that match the code. Many of the codes returned an empty list for me, but some did work.

“Vampire TV Sci-Fi and Fantasy” worked, but “Violent Time Travel Sci-Fi & Fantasy” had no matching titles.

Thanks, exactly what I needed to know. I didn’t want to
leave the thread up if it didn’t work at all.
Stay Safe

MUSIC LOVERS!

Two excellent films are included in this list.

The Wrecking Crew

Yeah, I watched that last night.
Little OT, but I lived in the DFW area and there
was a club in Dallas called Mother Blues that
pretty much every band that played a show
in the area would often play there after
hours, so you could see some really great
impromptu shows if you were lucky enough
to get in, Also had live bands on what was
called “Beer, Burgers and Blues Sunday”
$1 cover, $1 beer, $1 burgers open ‘til
close every Sunday. "It was not a place
for law abidin’ citizens."
Dang, those were the days.

What did you end up doing?

I’ve had the e5 for 5+ months and it’s been fine. I definitely needed a memory card but see no way to install apps on it, only storage/file transfer. Security updates are released regularly.

@rick505 said in SLOOOOW Windows 10 laptop:

If you are at the point of experimenting, I’d wipe the drive and try a fresh install of Windows 10. I’ve had pretty good results doing so and have had it run pretty decently on an old dual-core AMD processor with 3GB RAM. I did use a small SSD however which did add some speed over a mechanical HD.

I was thinking the same thing… after reformatting. However, I’d first swap out the hard drive with one from a correctly functioning PC to first confirm/isolate whether the issue is with the hard drive/software. If a known working drive also runs super slow in the factory rebuilt HP, reformatting the drive and reinstalling the OS probably won’t do anything since there’s likely a hardware issue elsewhere.

AFAIK 66.0.5 is the latest official release. I have no idea if any release past 65
had the problem. If you have add-ons such as Adblock Plus and it’s still working
then you probably weren’t infected by the bug. BTW, this was a screw-up by
Firefox coders not some outside source.

@fivetalents
Sorry for the late reply. HDMI is a great idea. I have a very long cable that I
could run to my 55" in the Lroom and a 45" and laptop in my bedroom.
Thanks for the idea.

Great find - I didn’t know that page was there.

@ananrefugee said in Sceptre 55" Class 4K Ultra HD (2160P) LED TV (U550CV-U) $229.99 @ Walmart:

I use an Amazon Fire connected to mine and it works great. I bought the warranty for $25 or so as the reviews indicate a somewhat higher than normal fail rate.

Yeah, I wanted to stick with a pure Android OS, mostly because I only use Android devices other than my Windows PCs. Even tho Fire OS is based on Android OSs. I’m semi-knowledgeable about Windows and Android and don’t want to have to learn another system. Additionally, 3GB RAM/32GB ROM gives lots of room for expansion.

@dionaea said in New offers from Francois et Mimi coming ------ Maybe:

Hi, FMB1 - I’ve missed chatting with you and comparing notes regarding the Amazon deals sites. I had never seen the whole movie either, but Carl has several times, so we both watched it all the way to the end. Once is enough for me, and it’s added to my list of “things I’ll never do again”. LOL
Yes, I have received a noticeable increase of spam on the Hotmail account I use for F&M stuff, which is not my Amazon >account email, and a lot of it is the usual stuff where it looks like it’s coming from a legit site (like LinkedIn), but when you >hover over the sender address, it’s actually from a scam/hacker, so I don’t click on it, of course, and just select and move it to >Junk and then use the Block option. Blocking is cutting down on the volume.

Anyway, why I actually logged in here was to give a tip on No-Rush-Shipping NRS:I never stack items in my cart but buy them separately so I can get NSR on each. If you order them close together, they usually come in one box, on the same day anyway.

It is normal that the speed decreased. I use VPN, which is in the Opera. By online games it is noticeable that the speed was lower
