new dropbox rules
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Data: Saturday, April13, 2019 17:09:32 +1200 De: Shaun Everiss <sm.everiss@...> Hi all. This is a small warning to everyone that uses dropbox. From march this year, all basic accounts are limited to 3 devices. What does that mean? Nothing, except that dropbox remembers every device and session ever made. So you reformat your computer or change your account name, or get another computer and don't unlink first, your device becomes a ghost device same with app programs, and brouser sessions. 1. sign into dropbox. The easiest way to do this is to login with your own client, click the tray icon and launch dropbox. Now near the top of the page is a menu called my account hit space on that, scroll down to settings, hit shift space to exit forms mode then hit enter. Don't move about else things will just not work right. Now dropbox settings load. hit control home for the top of the page then h. 2. select security tab, in the same way, enter forms mode once you scroll down to the list of tabs, and locate security. get out of forms mode and hit enter. Next control home again. then hit t. 3. The next thing to do is locate every session in the first table which has an end session button it and hit the space bar till they are all gone. Next locate the device tree which is directly below the brouser treeview. The first device in the list is your device. scroll to the end of that list. Every device you have ever linked including every ghost device linked in the past will exist, I had 6, my dad had 2. Hit unlink button on all the devices bar the one that says its been modified in the last hour. Every other device will have a time when it was last valid. Finally go through the steps of going to my account, then settingss however next select the connected apps view. Then disconnect every app you don't use and service. If you need to link devices take note of the devices you want to connect. A basic user can connect up to 3 devices. Those can be a computer, a phone and one other device or 3 computers. You can buy, but to be honest, if you get this warning and are only using 1 device, then you probably have a lot of ghost devices. I'd also update your password at this time if you have forgotten it if you haven't already.

Re: Laptop Battery Use
Smiling?
Li-Ion (Lithium Ion) which is what type of battery I'm sure is within this laptop, is best never completely drained nor completely charged to 100% and keep in mind, this is what professionals are saying and have been saying for several years about Lithium-Ion batteries not just myself.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
One of the best articles I've read on this particular issue regarding Li-Ion batteries, was not to completely charge these types of batteries to 100% and, try to not allow it to go below 40%. Definitely never try to allow to completely and fully drain either. With Lithium-Ion batteries, I guess the hardest things is either charging all the way up to 100% or allow the battery to completely discharge to 0%, just not at all good for these types of batteries. They would typically say try and keep your Li-Ipon batteries between 40% to 80% and this is many professionals opinions regarding this matter, but by all means continue to do whatever it is that you do (which is what most of us do anyways).

To me, it seems like there are only 2 options. Run the laptop plugged directly into a wall outlet all the time, or run the laptop only off battery power. until it is totally discharged and then use it plugged in until the battery is charged again...then switch back to Battery power.

How to use Google Maps Detailed Voice Guidance
-
Yesterday, we wrote about how Google is adding a new visual accessibility tool to Chrome. In honor of World Sight Day, Google continues to
champion tech accessibility with its latest addition to Google Maps: a "Detailed Voice Guidance" feature that makes it easier for the blind and visually impaired to navigate on foot. Here's how it works and how to use it. https://www.androidauthority.com/google-maps-detailed-voice-guidance-1039816/-- XB

Re: captcha be gone status
Gerald Levy
As I mentioned previously, this guy tried to pull a fast one. Initially, this Chrome captcha solving extension was free, but about two weeks later, he decided that he would start charging $140 a year, basing this on the Barnum precept that there's a sucker born every minute, especially blind succkers. Of course, he got no takers, and I think he just gave up, much like the developer of Captcha Be Gone. Plus, it was never listed in the Chrome apps store, which means that it was probably never an officially approved extension in the first place.  Gerald

Hi,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I think there are a number of such services, but that assumes, at minimum, two prerequisites: A smartphone and a monitor. Depending on how independent you feel you want or ought to be, you might also need the will power to sit through the embarrassment and humiliation of having yet another task that you have to rely on help for. I know I, for one, have none of those. Luckily I haven't had to solve a visual-only CAPTCHA in a while now, and if I do, until I can find a decent independent way of doing it, I don't use them. Especially if they involve ASCII art which even most solvers can't recognise as a CAPTCHA. Cheers, Damien.

Re: captcha be gone status

Yeah, the Dev’s got a personal Twitter account as well as one for his company (Accessible Apps), but don’t think he actively monitors it. Probably the best you can do is reach out to him documenting your attempts to stop the charge then reach out to your card company to try to kill that recurring charge or dispute it.  Â
