Technically, it’s not adding, it’s “moving” to another Home. We like using voice commands through Google assistant to turn the television off (via Chromecast) – too lazy to reach for the television remote. However, we had unknowingly created a new home entity on a different Google account. Where we add our Chromecast seems to matter. […]
We decided to post this one for posterity, in case we have to get another SIM. Background: we discovered that SMS sent from one network, let’s call it “O”, to another network, called “T” can sometimes be delayed by up to an hour. Not good during urgent correspondence. We wanted to verify our suspicions so

Two images of the same subject, yet different colour tones. The irritating result of using different lighting sources or different cameras. Sometimes it’s the automatic light metering or automatic white balance within the same camera. Nevertheless, we want some consistency and we’d like to do it using PaintShop Pro. Corel PaintShop Pro 2019 Ultimate, in

Can’t remember precisely how this error came about. So in typical brute force fashion, we threw everything at it to get it to go away. While we succeeded, we couldn’t pin down what we did to make it happen. Things we tried (on our Lenovo X201) included: putting the WWAN adapter card back in (we’d

The Windows 10 volume indicator alone doesn’t bother us much, but the giant overlay to the right of the volume indicator does. It takes forever to fade and covers important screen real estate, obscuring buttons and menus. Furthermore, it regains focus upon mousing over it. Seems there’s nothing we can do about the volume indicator;

We’ve clicked repair countless times. It does its thing, reinstalling Creative Cloud and yet it keeps prompting us with the same annoying dialog box. Googling told us to uninstall the whole thing, and put it all back in. Hard pass. We suspect this is some kind of glitch which will simply crop up again. Frankly,

“Your Dropbox is full and is no longer syncing files.” That’s because we’re using the Dropbox Basic (free account) and didn’t know how the quota works. We assumed: we had 2GB of our own to play with, to put in a folder of our own; should a colleague share a folder in their Dropbox with us, it
It’s an intricate device. We’ve always accepted that, but never knew how much so. Our adventures began when we clumsily dropped our V8 and cracked the top part of the housing. Must have landed on its head. On YouTube we watched two disassembly videos (one, two) before proceeding. We had our trusty tamper-free tool set
This one is rather simple. In fact, we had seen the solution in passing but forgot about it. The option to download captured video doesn’t exist in the Image Transfer Utility 2 software. It’s actually on the camera. Navigate within the camera menu as follows: Wi-Fi settings -> Enable Auto send images to computer Image

We recently (December 2020) hopped on the Premier Pro bandwagon, shelling out for the higher end subscription based software – in spite of our utter disdain for subscriptions. So guess how surprised we were to run into this error trying to install it? Just mere seconds after paying for it. As it turns out, we
