Without seeing the actual connections, I see nothing glaringly wrong with the unit. I wouldn't think that a seal or lack of would cause a major drop in efficiency. Making certain that gray hose is clean and there is no blockage where it enters the tank. Lay the sweeper on its side and inspect where the debris leaves the brushes and enters that gray hose as well.

Small dogs are the ones that live shorter lives. It's the opposite of smaller rabbits. Many Pom-pom's only live to be 6-7. Some larger breeds either grow too quickly and die sooner, like the giant Schauzer, or possibly Great Danes. I'm not a dog expert, just a deer expert.

Rabbits are extremely sensitive. They can literally be scared to death. the most common ailment they get is GI Stasis, which happens when they don't eat enough. They must ALWAYS have food available. If a rabbit ain't leaving a trail of coco puffs, seek a vet immediately!

Another reason to adopt and don't shop. A ton of bulldogs have lung issues. I've never known a single Bulldog that didn't breathe as if they had asthma. The creepy ways that breeders mutilate animals to produce 'pure-breeds' is horrendous.

All the books I've read about dogs as a child said they live to be 12-13 years, but we've had a couple that pushed 16+.

Could a dirty SIM card cause problem to the smartphone

Of course, anyone would have to agree with ocnbrze, but now here we are.

Anyway, a green residue is a strong indication of copper. My best guess at this point is that the green oxide is appearing on some parts with a high-copper substrate that might be reacting with some nearby corrosive element, possibly leaking from a deteriorating battery. If the corrosion is extreme then the watch may have been sitting for some time in an environment that may have accelerated it. On other electronic equipment, old capacitors on a motherboard can leak a caustic substance that might cause damage to other components.

So you're concerned there may be some of that green crud that could have sloughed off into the works? Copper salts are often conductive. It might be moist and pasty or dry and crystalline, but if you can gently remove it, you minimize the chance of damage. I've salvaged all kinds of electrical and electronic stuff that had gotten wet. You want to get it open quickly, flush it out quickly if it's been in saltwater or something corrosive or nasty, spray wd40 on anything that looks logical for it, and dry it as quickly as possible. You've already got this thing open in a dry, controlled place, so just dry brush as much as you can see, then swab it finally clean with alcohol of at least 70 percent. I've also submerged boards in alcohol when more extreme measures are needed.

Once you're sure it's absolutely dry, put a good battery in. If it works, use it. If not, save the battery and put the rest in the proper disposal stream.

How to fix non certified device? Thanks for help

I had this issue, it was from a malicious play store overlay/update. I went into settings, apps, playstore, disabled. Then clicked top right menu (3 dots). Clicked uninstall updates. Cleared storage, and proceeded to do same with Play Services app. Then re-enable both. Open play store, go into settings, click about, and under play store version, click update play store. Repeat until it says you're running current version. Last step is to go into Phone Settings, Security, and it should show Google Play System Update, check that and it should update play services and add security patch.
I'll try this. Thanks

Google pixel 6 cannot receive calls

For a month now my Google pixel 6 cannot receive calls. All calls immediately go to voicemail. I missed lots of important calls. I contact my carrier (Tmobile) and one agent was able to fix it for one call. Next day the issue comes back. The fix is using 'Reset Option' / 'Reset Wifi - mobile - Bluetooth' then immediately shutdown the phone. It's very annoying. When I google about the issue I found that many people experience the same symptom.
I consider Google pixel 6 the worse phone in the world, because it cannot perform the main goal of a phone.
Go into settings, Network and Internet, Internet, then click settings icon, scroll down, click access point names. Get APN info from Google. Can just search for it. Add apn's manually.

Hack proof my phone

Buy a new device. Look into GrapheneOS. Sandboxed OS, allows degoogling phone. Pixel devices work great. You can disable all apps then quickly enable again, without losing your data.
They prob have a persistent spyware, or have your google as an enterprise/managed device. Only way you can check is by system logs. Some kind of new backdoor that seems to follow all accounts made... I'm dealing with this on my normal phones. My GrapheneOS Pixel seems to be secure so far.

Suggestions on a Windows USB login Key

I frequently have to log into multiple laptops either using my regular AD acct or my Administrator account and both passwords are long and the Administrator password changes every 30 days.


I was hoping someone could suggest a USB key that I could use to enter these credentials, change change when needed and use it to enter either my regular or Administrator credentials instead of me needing to type them in myself.



I don't need mult factor authentication, just the username and password for either my regular AD account or my Administrator account.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you.
Most newer androids have an option for setting as security key for google, not sure if google is integrated in your laptops.

You can also buy USB keys. Just don't lose lol

Help My S5e has been restarted randomly in every 2-10 hours, what to do to fix it?

I got Tab S5e a month ago, I've ordered it from Amazon. It was a 128 GB/6 GB version. Okay, since the day I picked it up, it works great and functions very well but it restarts randomly like a few times a day. When my tablet is off and I'm not using it at the time, it restarts randomly as Tab S5e logo appeared on screen, meaning that it resets themselves.

The tablet also turns itself on while my tablet is off and on plug charging.

The battery is still good. Both volume and power buttons aren't sticky. The tablet also rubs faster and I had no problem with that.

Here are the things I tried to prevent this but didn't help.

- Switching to Safe Mode
- Wiping system cache
- Removing the plastic rubber case

Will you help me find the solution without even returning it?

Thank you.
Try doing sysdump through adb. you'll need to enable developer mode and enable USB. Be careful, if connected to a compromised computer it could affect your device. Sysdump should have the reason it's restarting. Another option is going a bug report. Both are going to be tedious, lots of reading.

remove work/personal sections

Hi all -

This isn't exactly a development question, but I couldn't find a more appropriate forum.

Somehow, in my setup of my Galaxy Tab A, I ended up with two sections to the main display: Personal and Work. I don't need this separation, and I find it inconvenient. Can someone please tell me how I can remove this feature?

Thanks...
Should be under Settings, then Accounts, or could be System or Security. Might vary on version.

How can I tell if a software update is legitimate?

No, not really. Many people jump to the conclusion that their phone has been hacked when something doesn't work the way the expect, or when they see things they don't understand. When phone does exhibit some form of security issue, 99.9% of the time it's because the user has installed something unsafe or the Google account has been cracked -- either by using easy passwords or sharing them with someone else.

A true hack into a mobile device is so rare, it can be considered non-existent.
Actually it's not rare at all. Unfortunately Android doesn't allow you to do much analysis without root. Root will then be detected by many malware types, then it hides and destroys itself or sometimes rewrites itself to seem normal.

Show me what I listen

1. I have always an app that is displayed. Nothing more, you can not start using it as a normal tablet. Even if you do when you turn on the display again you should see just the specific application on top
2. nice
3. Not being able easlily to select another app. For example kids to take the tablet to play games, they should see it as a device that is only for that specific media player
4. Now that I think of will be nice to even lock the touch screen for kids and have a special way to unlock it

Tablet + White case+ Hidden cable

Yeah you are not going to find something like from us here. It's too specific to your needs. You are not going to find a wooden case for your tablet. And since not all tablets are the same size, your going to need to find one that fits whatever device you have. You are better off finding a wooden stand.

And here google is your friend:

Another idea is to contract your local woodworker and have someone build you one specific for you.

Thumbtack is one of the best apps for that:
