  1. Last night, neighbours out, wanted some loud music.
    Soundbar was on, but it would not respond to the remote or the flipper zero.
    Just now went to do a better check. New batteries in the remote, flipperzero fully charged.
    Nothing - just a solid red LED showing it had power.
    Unplugged it.
    Plugged it back in.
    NOW it works.

    I never thought the ‘turn it off, turn it on’ would apply to a soundbar…..

    (Majority Snowden II it is)

  3. the solution was to restart mtail, causing the numbers to not need the `e+6` and hence each second has a different number.

  5. So, two years ago I bought a new vehicle to replace a 15-year-old one that had been written off after a collision. It's my first brand-new #vehicle I've ever owned. And being from the 2020s, it has a lot more #tech in it than any previous vehicle I've owned.

    A week or so ago, the rear hatch (which is powered) stopped closing. It gets to about a foot open, then stops and #beeps and backs up a bit, behaving as if it's obstructed. I don't see any sensors it would use for detecting objects (but maybe they exist, just hidden), so I assume it's sensing motor current or something.

    I booked an #appointment at the #dealer to have it checked and fixed. It was a 3-week wait. The #service manager said in the meantime to try a " #reset " of the car - just drop by and let them disconnect the battery for half an hour. I told them I could do that myself, and did.

    So they really did just tell me "Did you try turning it off and turning it on again?"

    It didn't fix the #problem. But it did give me a new one! Now two of the four side windows no longer support the automatic-all-the-way-up-or-down feature you normally get by pressing the window control buttons to the second stop. And it's not even both on one side, or both front or both rear...

  7. Dnes je ten den, kdy jsem se musel odhlásit z bankovní webové aplikace a zase přihlásit, aby se mi ukázal správný zůstatek na účtu. Jen reload stránky nepomohl.

    Chtěl bych znát tu architekturu zevnitř.

  8. Well that was super weird!

    Couldn't make a phone call from my #iPhone. Every attempt, no matter the number, just triggered an instant "Call Failed" error.

    Tried toggling Aeroplane Mode, didn't help.

    Do a full reboot and of course it now works…

  15. @suganthan ah the latency I had was 5 mins or so, not hours!

    I've checked and the link is in your server response fine in the main doc. Doesn't seem to work with iframes/js rendering. But you don't have that problem.

    Try removing the link and then re-adding to your profile if you haven't already?
