A question about a roomba

Kay Malmquist
 

Does anyone know about the iRobot Roombai3plus3550 wi-fi connected robot vacuum with automatic dirt disposal.  I have had Roomba's before, but wondered if anyone could tell me if this is a decent one or where I might find reviews on it.  I found it at a really good price and would really like to know.  Thanks much.

This is the opposite of what is wanted.  What is wanted is an adapter that will plug into a standard 3.5 headphone jack and ;provide out;put for headphones that connect directly to a lightning port.

Hi all,


I'm wondering if there's an adapter that could be plugged into the earphone jack on my second generation Victor reader stream that has a lightning port on the other end that would allow me to use the earbuds I use with my iPhone in the Victor reader? If there is such an adapter what words would I use in a search to find it?

Re: Keystrokes to edit name of file or folder in Windows 10?

Gene
 

I disagree about specifically backing up a file or folder before changing the name.  If you are just learning to do this, you may want to but it is very unlikely you will lose a file or folder  by changing its name.  However, you should have anything you don’t want to lose backed up in the first place so this shouldn’t be an issue unless you are working with a file you don’t intend to keep long..

USB stick issue/question

Madison Martin
 

I have a USB stick that I leave plugged into my laptop, but lately I've been
noticing that it just randomely comes up. I'll be writing an email or something
and all of a sudden it just pops up when I haven't touched it or anything, it
used to only open up when I'd plug it into my laptop. I find this rather
annoying, I'm perfectly capable of opening it whenever I need/want to, I don't
need/want it opening up for no reason. Any idea why this is happening and what I
can do to stop it (other then not having it plugged into my laptop all the
time)? Using latest versions of Jaws and Windows 10. Thanks for any help,

When you are focused on the name of the file or folder press Alt then
the letter H then the letter R which will put you in an edit field for
the name.

First make a copy of whatever it is you want to edit just in case something goes wrong, now do the following:
Highlight the file or folder, but do not open it.  Now press the, F2 key, to open the edit field.  Do your editing and press enter to save / close.
If everything is the way you want it you can now delete the backup copy you made.

I am curious about this topic, so I did some research.

1. natively iphone or IOS does not come with an app or interface to accomplish what you want to do. they can only scan out of the camera itself. like on another QR code on another surface like on another screen, paper or whatever. they need the camera to look at first before they can go into the internet and retrieve what  the code wants you to do.

2. you can download a free app call qr code scanner, you can find something similar  on the appstore and accomplish  what you want to do. They allow you to take the screenshot from the photo gallery and scan from the picture itself.

Re: problem with outlook 2016

Outlook doesn’t close or outlook.exe process keeps running

Close Outlook button

It isn’t very common that Outlook doesn’t close on its own. Practically always this is caused by an add-in or another application which integrates with

Outlook. At that time, you’d usually see the outlook.exe process still running in Task Manager as well.

Once this troublesome add-in is disabled or updated or the other application is closed, the problem will be gone and Outlook will close normally again.

Outlook 2016 after sending an email, it sits in the outbox and will not send until I reboot and launch outlook.

2.

Speaking of launching outlook, when I alt f 4, when I try to go back into outlook via the taskbar or any other method, it doesn't open so I will need to reboot my system and then it will launch.

Using jfw 2020 and windows 10.
