Re: Google Users Suddenly Find Themselves Signed Out Of Their Accounts

uberMike — Sat, 25 Feb 2017 09:36:04 -0000

I got it to sync now. The resolution, for me, was to turn off the Google "2-steps verification", authenticate from the Note3. Once that worked, I turned the "2-steps verification" back on.

The issue that I have is my Note3 won't sync with my Google account. It started around 4pm on thursday 2/23/2017. As of now, it won't sync.

The restriction should be based on the billing address. As a US paid subscriber, I should not be restricted based on my physical location.

I believe he would get the same graph had he been in more favorable context, Joy vs Sadness.

I have not tried with Windows 10...could you be more specific about the "cannot get it to work"? Error message? What does it NOT do?

Interesting. It is still not available on Samsung site "http://www.samsung.com/glob...". I will check it out. Thanks Fr3dY.

Re: How To: DVD Rip

I was able to duplicate the behavior you mentioned.
After you select the source, you must wait for the scanning process to complete before clicking "Start".
That was the only time I was able to duplication the issue, by not waiting for the HB to finish scanning the disc.

And you cannot get to the homepage from the chromebook?
What URL format did you use on the chromebook, e.g. http://ip.address/folder/subfolder/?
Can you browse to the content from the host?

Can you browse to the webpage from another computer?
Another way to test connectivity is to telnet to the webserver port from another PC.
When dealing with server/client, issues can be broken down to 3 categories, configuration, connectivity and permissions.

Try to pull the site from your host computer first.
"500 - Internal Server Error" message is not about firewall. It's a generic error about the IIS configuration, not a connectivity issue.

I can't agree with you more on the multi-screen support!

Re: How To: DVD Rip

uberMike — Sun, 22 Jun 2014 10:02:28 -0000

Sorry to hear that SJPOneill. The fact that it makes no difference "with our without the libdvdcss.dll" is a bit puzzling. It should make a difference if the DLL file is present or not. Without the DLL file, the "Title" box will not populate. I tested it this morning.

To troubleshoot this, I would start with the HB and the DLL file.
Check the HB version, start the application, in the menu, click "Help" then "About". I am running version 0.9.9.5530, 64Bit version. Make sure that the DLL matches your HB version (32Bit or 64Bit).

If is still does not work, come back with more specifics about your setup, Operating System, 32 or 64Bit, what title are you trying to rip (BR or DVD). May be one of our savy readers could help out.

As note, if you are ripping a single track, there is no need to "Add to Queue", just click "Start" when you are done with the settings.

Good point. I doubt it is functional. 50 units worlwide for only $900 a pop, it cannot be functional.

I totally agree with you, for the money the Chromecast is a winner, especially when it came with 3 months of free Netflix!

Re: Chrome Remote Desktop Hits Mobile Devices

Even on the the 5.7" Note3 display, it is too small to be productive. You'd spend most of your time zooming in and out or scrolling around to find your icons or "start" button. Like VNC, if you happen to have dual monitors or more, all screens will be displayed on your Chrome Remote Desktop. I wish CRD has the same display options as Teamviewer, where you can select the individual monitor to work on.

While I do like having the option to remote into my home PCs from my Samsung Note3. It has to be the last, last resort.

There is no native support for what you are looking for. A DYI solution would be to setup a VPN (point-to-point) between you and your friend. Keep in consideration bandwidth usage and ISP cap.

Re: Australian Supermarket Giant Drops Windows In Favor Of Chrome OS

uberMike — Thu, 27 Feb 2014 10:00:55 -0000

I would not say "INFINITELY" more secure. Chrome OS, in the hands of the average user, is more secure than Windows and Mac. However Chrome OS has less functionalities than both of the two other Operating Systems mentioned.
You can have a Windows or a Mac OS as secured as a Chrome OS, if you want to spend the time to do so.

Re: New Samsung ARM Chromebook With Exynos 5 Octa Processor Expected In 2014

uberMike — Wed, 01 Jan 2014 08:58:20 -0000

Happy New Year Lizard!

Chromebooks have always been missing something to make it the ideal package. For example, Samsung Series 3 is the most balanced from a price/performance/battery/design or appeal standpoint and in that order, to me anyway. Pixel is gorgeous, great performance but the battery life is subpar and the price tag is too high. The HP 11 lacks of punch and battery capacity. Otherwise the price is right and the design is very fun. To me the IPS display is the selling point.

So far, the specs of the new Samsung chromebooks have set my expectations very high. It is like cooking, the ingredients are on the counter, let's see how the dish will come out of the oven.

Great news. I love the specs, 12in, 2560×1600, 3GB, 4 cores. Question marks are: battery capacity and pricing.

Re: Stolen Target Credit Cards Start Appearing In The Black Market For $20-$100

@noYoBiz. My understanding is the credit card data is not "kept" by Target. The data was intercepted (and stored) by a malicious 3rd party during the authorization process between the vendor and the bank.

Re: Smokio Is The First Connected E-Cigarette

It looks like a good alternative. I know a few hard core smokers, (2+ pack a day) who transitioned to e-cig. They are very happy with the "smell" and the cost saving.
