Ecobee3 Review - 6 Months Later


A review of the Ecobee3, how it compares to the Nest Learning Thermostat and why Ecobee's decision to bake Amazon's Alexa directly into the Ecobee4 could spell trouble for all of our smart homes. **Update** As of 11/14/17 Ecobee has now added Google Assistant Support: https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp... **Correction** I incorrectly stated that the remote sensors capture humidity data. Unfortunately only the thermostat itself captures indoor humidity data. For more information: Ecobee: https://www.ecobee.com

I wish Instagram would allow users to disable putting unwanted duplicate photos on Android phones

I wish Instagram would allow users to disable putting unwanted duplicate photos on Android phones
 
Thursday, Sept. 29, 2016

Keep calm. Test is only a test. I am trying to figure out how to stop my Instagram app from saving unwanted duplicate pictures on my S5 phone after I post a photograph.

I just researched how to stop Instagram from saving duplicate pictures on my S5 phone


Ms. Faustmann writes, “The Instagram app works very similarly on iPhones and Android phones. When it comes to saving the items you shoot with the Instagram camera to the phone, though, there are a few differences. Saving Instagram photos and videos is optional on iPhones and compulsory on Android devices. Hence, you can prevent an iPhone, but not an Android phone, from automatically saving Instagram photos.

[…]

… “As of January 2014, there’s no way to disable this feature,” on an Android phone.


Candidly, it is almost a good reason to remove the app from my phone. Just saying.

PCmag.com - Google Android 6.0 Marshmallow


Dec. 22, 2015 - So my ph is updating - Marshmallow 6.0 – will this be like the nonsensically maddening Microsoft updates to my pc which are not improvements

PCmag.com - Google Android 6.0 Marshmallow

October 27, 2015 from PC Mag… Retrieved Dec. 22, 2015


The latest version of Google's Android operating system, 6.0 Marshmallow, feels like it was written to address some things that annoyed users, and some things that irked Google. For users, it's a sensible update that banishes many of the real groan points about Android, such as its flawed way of handling microSD memory and overactive apps that devour battery life. For Google, meanwhile, it offers ways to encourage more people to search the Web more often, which is the company's ultimate goal. It's a worthy update, for sure, if not quite the sea change that Android 5.0 Lollipop was. That said, one big problem still remains: A persistent fragmentation problem makes it likely that you will never see Marshmallow on your current device. For that reason, Apple's iOS 9 remains our Editors' Choice for mobile operating systems.


And here a few other articles that I am reading in PC mag:

The awesome Theresa and Tom Bethune take a minute to answer a few questions about Freedom Broadband


The awesome Theresa and Tom Bethune take a minute
to answer a few questions about Freedom Broadband
at the 62nd St John ‪#Christmas Bazaar
43 Monroe St Westminster 8am-4pm Dec. 5, 2015

Freedom Broadband Overview and History

Freedom Broadband began as Freedom Wireless Broadband in January of 2007 to provide cost effective Internet service to under-served areas in Carroll County.  The company started with a location in Eldersburg, MD and a communications tower in Hampstead, MD, and grew by leveraging grain elevators, silos and homes to reach locations not served by wired providers available at that time.

From 2007 until February of 2015, the company expanded service to Manchester, Mt. Airy, Gamber, Woodbine, and Hampstead, adding (4) major communications towers, (4) municipal water towers, and numerous grain elevators, silos and roof mounted access points  serving approximately 185 customers, including 48 farms and commercial businesses.

In February of 2015, local resident Theresa Bethune purchased Freedom Wireless Broadband and renamed the company “Freedom Broadband.”  As a customer in an underserved part of Carroll County (ironically just 6 miles from Westminster, Hampstead and Manchester), Theresa realized how many areas of Carroll and the surrounding areas were left with few, if any viable broadband choices.  

As a mother to a 13 year old boy and wife of an Information technology professional, she also knew that life without broadband was not viable for most families.  The purchase enabled the business to fund major network upgrades, as well as to drive expansion into more areas throughout Carroll County and surrounding counties.

Since February, 2015, Freedom Broadband has doubled our available bandwidth and our customers send and receive more than 1 Terabyte (TB) of data per day (equal to  1,000 gigabytes-GB, or 1,000,000 megabytes-MB) to/from the Internet each day.  We have expanded capacity 400% at the Manchester Water Tower and Lippy Brothers towers, and added new locations to serve parts of Mayberry and the Jasontown/Uniontown Road areas.  We  have planned tower climbs to grow our service areas in Taneytown and Mt. Airy/Woodbine. 

Together with our sister company, InfoPathways, Freedom Broadband established a broadband connection to River Valley Ranch, and deployed wireless infrastructure to improve their communications both on and off the Ranch.  

We are proud to support 4H and the Community Media Center, and provided both wireless infrastructure and bandwidth to enable live streaming of 4H events.

Why do we do it?  Because we love Carroll County.  We enjoy the rolling countryside and beautiful farm lands.  We want to connect people to each other and the world at large, without forcing them to sacrifice their wooded retreats and family homesteads.  Every time we connect someone new, we feel an amazing sense of accomplishment.

Our customers are our neighbors and friends – people we see at our local Farmer’s markets, at school or on the athletic fields, at our local restaurants, businesses and events that make our community a great place to live and work.

Remove the Register Photoshop Prompt

Remove the Register Photoshop Prompt

Lance’s Journal of Simple Solutions

Retrieved August 10, 2015


Photoshop keeps asking me to register every time I start it, even though I have already registered Photoshop. This recurring "Register Photoshop" problem is a known issue with Photoshop CS2 when installed on Windows Vista. In the following simple solution, I'll show you how to remove the Register Photoshop prompt or notice once and for all and get you working again without the annoying nag to register.



I tried it on my computer and it works fine – easy, simple and quick.

Do not like new Gmail contacts preview Revert to google contacts old version Left-hand menu, click “more” then “leave the contacts preview”



I do not care for the new Gmail “contacts preview.” How revert to google contacts old version… In the left-hand menu, click “more” and then “leave the contacts preview”

It seems that when Google Gmail “helps me” and automatically puts information in the name fields – it invariably puts the first, middle, and last name in the incorrect fields – and then when I look it up in my Droid phone, I cannot easily find the contact alphabetically – by last name… The new contacts preview does not seem to allow the user to input the name fields.

In the end, the Windows 10 upgrade failed. No surprise here.



Update: One Win 10 upgrade fail. One success. Fail probably due to a drive failure... On a different computer, the success is working great.

Update 2 August 5, 2015: Two successes. One Win 10 upgrade fail. One success. Fail probably due to a drive failure... On a different computers, the successes are working great.

A friend suggested, “Get an Apple.” I have an Apple and I was a pathetic Apple immigrant. Threw my hands up the air and went back to PC. But Caroline gets along with the Apple just great. Me, not so much. In the end, I gotta get my work finished... My editors do not care what I use to write stories - they just care that I get them written.

4 Gmail Hacks That Will Change The Way You Work | Fast Company | Business + Innovation

4 Gmail Hacks That Will Change The Way You Work | Fast Company | Business + Innovation:

IF OPENING YOUR INBOX GIVES YOU A PANIC ATTACK, TRY THESE SIMPLE MOVES TO MAKE GMAIL FEEL MORE MANAGEABLE.

BY MADISON FELLER, LEVO LEAGUE


I’ll be honest—I’ve had mixed feelings about Gmail. Sometimes it’s fantastic, like when my best friend and I send each other cool links all morning while simultaneously talking on Gchat. But other times, as I’m watching my inbox fill up at the speed of light, it can just be overwhelming. Gmail and I have finally come to a mutually respectful relationship (think Kanye’s post-VMA apology to T-Swift), but it’s been a long road. These four hacks have paved the way, and once you’ve got them down, I promise Gmail will feel like a whole new ball game...

Rediscover Gmail Labels and Finally Tame Your Inbox Written by Mihir Patkar February 18, 2015

Rediscover Gmail Labels and Finally Tame Your Inbox


Written by Mihir Patkar February 18, 2015 @mihirpatkar http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/author/mihir/


From one freelancer to another; I really appreciate your work on http://www.makeuseof.com/ Thanks

Sooner or later, everyone’s Gmail inbox becomes an overwhelming mess. There are plenty of tricks to deal with email overload, but there’s one right under your nose that you might not be using: good old Gmail labels.

Labels have been around for a long time now, so they have almost become blind spots for many of us. I’ve been a Gmail user since its inception, but I never used labels till recently. It has entirely changed how I approach email, finally helping me tame my inbox.

Using labels successfully depends on a few core productivity principles, just like any to-do management system. Here are the tricks that helped me and can help you too.


Read more here: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/rediscover-gmail-labels-finally-tame-inbox/ I routinely read many pieces on technology tips and hacks – and I really appreciate the approach of Mr. Patkar.
