Another walmart problem

My friend got a set of bedding from them. It has sheets abd pillowcases as well as a bed skirt and comforter. She wants to replace the comforter and the plastic bag that holds them all. It's king size and paisley on one side with a white background. The other side is light green. The plastic bag is transparent. She tried to email walmart with photos but they never responded.

What is your home network setup?

OK, so my home network is basically a old Dell Inspiron 660 running Windows 11 Home edition, which I use for running my entire media collection of movies, TV shows and music thru Emby, a personal media server. Works great as it gives you all of your media anywhere you have internet, be it at home or away. My other PC is a New Dell tower that I use for my Graphic design business from home,and a new Dell Latitude E5580 laptop for my business also. Both running Windows 11 Pro editions.
What I like about having Emby is I have my music and movies anywhere at any time.
I also use Onedrive, which is a life saver. Able to access my Graphic design files home or away on my laptop.

Moto edge 2022..

New thread for those who are wondering, here it is, almost a full year since I had it (purchase it on 11/11/24) through the main headquarters of Verizon. (My visit was okay, but they did not give me spit on the world for a case, but my sister gave me hers, was a few millimeters taller then mine, but when I did get the otter case fits perfectly, press-on protection glass, still I could use it without it).

Pros:

Well pretty great battery for an introvert like myself, able to make cell calls about every once a while pretty clear, can text whomever seems pretty well, with Whatsapp and Signal frequent useage with Gmail, Camera, VLC, Blue tooth (Widex hearing aids) over all with wifi sort of on most of the day, it is soild over all, drains over all maybe about twenty percent after fully charge, when turning it off and putting it away for sleep it does not drain much unless I have running apps in the bg. While some mobile background usage is in the apps, (Never care for data sharing with other cells in general, even though have wifi cut off as well as cellular data off) it feels legit, the weight and height of it was pretty hard to get used to overall, but the screen is size of a normal hat (stocking hat lengths) Amazing features to modify the colors and massive goodie bags that is on the cell over all.


Take away from it:
Heafty price about 1,900 over all through the store, the customer service reek of bad habbits and behaviors, Hate the default launcher, switch with Smart Launcher over all, a decent one. The feel over it when I sit it down and do a lot of texting with it, my hands phantomly feel the groove in it. (A lot of still mobile background data chomping away on apps, even though it is ugly sharable in general)




And:

My battery will probably die out in a spell or two, thanks with Accubattery though, but tbh I do not like the option switch for battery though but I wait for the next morning or until it gets down to about half to charge it again, so looking at a great two days worth of idle with it.. (Yeah I am part intervert).

TV box speed

I have an X88Pro13 TV box and my internet is theoretically 500Mbps, the router is a Linksys SPNMX42
Using Ookla the download speed using the X88Pro wifi is 140Mbps and the wired ethernet is 76Mbps.
I added a TP-Link UE306 USB 3.0 to 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Internet Adapter in the hope of getting faster wired speeds but it's actually giving me lower speeds at 66Mbps. I tried the adapter in my laptop and I am getting speeds north of 300Mbps, so it appears the adapter itself is OK.
Any ideas why and any way of speeding things up?
Thanks, Mike

Already Labor Day Weekend

It sure doesn't seem possible that the summer is winding down and this weekend is labor day weekend. So far, I don't have anything special planned for the holiday. Grilled burgers and dogs will probably be the go to for dinners unless I see something special that jumps into my grocery cart. I'm looking forward to just hanging out and relaxing. I'll probably do some bike riding if the weather is decent. I will mow lawns Monday. The grass has no idea it's a holiday.
Do you have anything special planned for the holiday? Any super meals to help celebrate the weekend? If you travel, be safe.

WHAT IS IT WITH THE MOTO G STYLUS?!

I just had another go bad. It was more or less ok earlier and about 1 hour ago it started having a seizure. It hasn't stopped yet. This was about the most expensive I've had, around $130. I mentioned that it seemed to drain somewhat fast and that it got unreasonably hot without being put through its paces. Also, I've been having trouble with DuckDuckGo. It's mainly a particular website but it's been slow on others, requiring frequent reloads, etc. What am I supposed to do with this hunk of junk? Can I get it to behave normally, at least long enough to transfer as much as possible to sd card (1tb)? I am typing this with the Blu, which is supposedly the inferior phone, ha!

NCAA Men's Basketball 2025

It seems like the big tournament was just over and here it is, mid August already. I'm still caught up in Baseball but I'm ready for some football and basketball. I'll be rooting for the local boys, The Wichita State Shockers, as I can't help myself. I doubt they will every have another deep run in the big dance while I'm alive to see it. But hey, It doesn't keep me from rooting and hoping. I am also a fan of the Kansas University Jayhawks. They are a more exciting team to watch and almost always have a contending team. I'd love to see them win it all again!

No notification number in icon badge

I just installed Blue Mail on my Android phone (Pixel Pro 9), and even though I am seeing those numbers on other apps (specifically my text messaging app) for some reason, I can't seem to get this app to give me a number (of new emails) whenever I get one in my inbox. When pressing and holding the app icon, and then finding the App Info button, I can see that I have enabled "all BlueMail notifications." Is there anything else I need to do, to see the number of new emails after they load in my inbox?

Help Ways to prevent accidentally stop recording video?

Hi,

I am using default samsung camera app to record video. I started recording and I accidentally stop it without myself knowing it. I think I might have accidentally pressed the stop record button when I was zooming in/out or accidentally touched the stop record button.

How to prevent stop recording video accidentally? Is there some feature or some app that can make it harder to stop video recording? e.g. long press to stop, slide to stop, double press to stop, hide the stop record button during recording to the edge (slide from edge to appear if I want to stop recording)

Thanks

app needed to easily switch network operator

I need an app to easily switch the network operator.
Automatic switching is not working for me.
They only allow VoLTE and the automatic switching at home switches me to 3G.
The signal of the preferred network is very weak but is strong enough for 3G.
The other operator is strong enough for LTE.
Since my provider won't make it less sensitive I have to manually switch it and it has many steps on Android 15.
It may be ok if there was a setting to prevent any non-LTE connections.

Not a zippy thing

I have a REALLY big duffel bag abd it has a really big zipper. The darn thing is stuck maybe halfway open. Yes, it's from walmart. I know. I know. How the heck do I get the zipper to zip? I guess there's something about using wax. Is there any particular kind? Does it have to be hot?

Bath bummer

The sink is clogged. I tried a paint key to get whatever was stuck and then used Drano gel, just not half a bottle. The best I have been able to do is bail with a soup can followed by a shot glass and then a sponge. There's no money for a plumber and I currently lack a pipe wrench.
