AC Mirage DLCs

I'm about to order AC Mirage from Amazon. It comes as the basic game and the deluxe edition. But the deluxe edition does really tell me much about what additional content you get.

I see from the ubisoft store that there are 11 DLC packs. But again, it doesn't really tell me much about what in each pack.

Which packs have additional stories or missions? I'm not really interested in additional skins, outfits, weapons, or helix credits. Just the DLCs that additional play content.

Anyone know what's in the deluxe edition?

Cotsco: Phillips, Jabra, Rexton, Sonite

Taking my mother to Cotsco to get her first set of HAs. The choices of brands they're offering are Phillips, Jabra, Rexton, and Sonite. I understand that there's no "best brand" because some people do better with some brands than others. But for those that have used one of these brands; which did yo use and how did they perform for you? Anything we should take into consideration? What were your experiences with their chargers and cell phone apps? Anything we should be on the lookout for?

Best Calculation: List Settings v. Power Apps Form Card

Using SharePoint On line M365.

I have a list that will be populated with data from Microsoft Access. I'm customizing the data entry form via power apps. The calculation will be calculated when a user selects a choice on the form, not necessarily when the record item is created.

I'm having a hard time getting Access, SharePoint, and Power Apps to all play nice together with the calculation formula. That's fine, I'll figure it out.

But before resolving the existing issues, I'd like to ask: What are best practices when it comes to calculations? On previous versions of SharePoint, I placed the calculation either on the column in list settings or the form via InfoPath depending on if the calculation was based on user input or not.

So I figured I'd ask how best to to go about this before I tied myself up in knots doing it the wrong way.

FYI... I will not perform the calculation in Access, but I do need to be able to read the calculation in Access. If push comes to shove, I'll create a query in Access with the calculation.

Fingerprint Home Locks

What are your thoughts on fingerprint home locks? I'm thinking of getting the kind that does not have wifi, so that any data is kept locally. But they come with a usb-c port for recharging if needed. This is what concerns me. I can see someone plugging in and hacking it.

Our area has reported people going from home to home taking pictures of their front locks. I, of course, think that they're mapping out home they feel they can easily break into. So I'd like something that will automatically lock if left open.

Sharing Calendar with Google User

Before I begin, please know that I'm not a very techie person. I might be assuming and asking about some pretty ignorant stuff here.

I've switched to G-OS and am trying to figure out the best way to share a calendar with my wife who is a staunch Google on Samsung phone user. I was thinking of going with Tuta for my calendar, but honestly, does it even matter what service I use if my wife is still using that phone? I can't help but feel like I'm leaving the front door wide open by sharing it with her because I assume google will somehow still be able to read my calendar.

Is there a configuration that'll keep my calendar private? Or should I just keep using my google calendar as long as I want to share with my wife?

Recommendations for Alternate Texting app?

I wasn't getting messages from preexisting group chats after converting to G-OS on the default app. So I downloaded Google Messages to see if I'd start receiving texts in those group chats. That didn't work and it may turn out to be that the group chats are RCS. So I've uninstalled Google Messages.

Anyone have other text apps that they enjoy using more than the G-OS default text app?

*Please share why you prefer that app.

Sandboxing

Please bear with me, I've suffered the loss of a loved one yesterday. I'm grieving and am struggling to concentrate. Plus, I'm not techie at all, so please forgive any stupid questions

At first I thought in order to sandbox apps, all I had to do was create a new user and install the apps I want to sandbox there. But the usage guide states "The simplest approach is to only use the Owner user profile."

OK, so I started "well, maybe sandbox is an app." I went to the default app store and searched "sandbox" so I guess it's not an app.

I'm reading the Usage Guide and I'm not understanding this "compatibility layer" thing. Which, to be honest, I don't know if I need to understand it at it's most granular level right now.

Can someone ELI5 sandboxing on G-OS to me or point me to a simple (simpler) guide on how to do it?

Just to share, I need to be able to use google maps and my bank's app.

Some notes:

  1. I'd rather place google play services and the other apps on another user profile. I don't want that stuff running during daily use. Just during emergent situations that pop up every 6 - 9 months.
  2. The two apps I need to be able to use are google maps and my bank
  3. I searched G-OS's site for the term "bank" hoping to something helpful. I found the link to https://github.com/PrivSec-dev/banking-apps-compat-report But it didn't give me any information that I could work with except for the fact that my bank's app can be downloaded from Aurora (which apparently, from what I've can read, has it's own set of issues when it comes to google stuff.)
  4. I know there are alternatives to google maps. I used them all during my first go-round with G-OS years ago. But none of them worked well enough for me back then. This time I bought a Garmin Navigator. It worked well enough in my city until yesterdays emergency (of course) when I had to drive to another city. It didn't recognize the address. I had to drive to the city and ask someone to look up the address and give me directions. I'm sorry, I know I'm oversharing here. I'm just trying to head the well-meaning "you know there are alternative map apps comments.
  5. I also need access to my gmail account. Even though I've abandoned it, I still need to access it every one in a while. I haven't decided if I want to run gmail in the sand box yet. So I'm open to suggestions of alternative email accounts.

I'm grateful to those of you who made to the end of this post. And especially grateful to anyone who takes the time to offer any insight.

Wallpaper with Alexios, Kassandra, and Myrrine

I'm looking for a wallpaper with A, K, And M posing as a family, but I can't find it now.

I've tried googling "Assassin's Creed Odyssey Alexios Kassandra Myrrine wallpaper" but it doesn't come up in the results. I've also searched in this sub.

Can you kind redditors help me out by pointing me to it or suggest better prompts to search on?

Hopefully, it's out there in high resolution.

TIA

Edit: A search on "family" in this sub generated a few. I can't remember if any of the results is the exact one I was looking for, but a few came close. I'm still open to suggestions.~

Atlantis Forge

First time playing through. I'm at this point, but I haven't chosen which weapons to forge in the Atlantis Forge yet.

I'm worried that if I proceed, I'll destroy Atlantis and not be able to forge the weapons.

Will I be able to come back and forge them if I select "there's only one way to stop the experiments"?

is there any point in the story where I won't be able to come back and forge them?

Blacksmith Inventory at Level 99

Do the inventories in the blacksmith stores stop refreshing at level 99?

Nothing I do to refresh their inventories works. Not Quick Save > Talk > Exit > Reload, not jumping meditating and then jumping back, not even a few other tricks I found on line. So they only thing I can think of is that they just stop refreshing at L99.

Fire Resistance

Cerebros is absolutely kicking my ass, even on easy. I'm looking to build up my fire resistance, but I don't see anything related to that. I read that Herakles torso gives you +40% resistance to fire, but I I'm not in Hades yet. I don't see any engraving for that, and I think the only ability I saw was "elemental resistance."

I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

Voice Recorded Notes

Can anyone recommend and app where I can record notes by speaking into my phone?

I don't need voice-to-text, so I don't need AI.

I'd like to click an icon, say "pick up milk after work", and scroll through my recordings and hear that reminder.

Appreciate any suggestions.

Trailer Record with only one pipe delimiter

I need to export a table to a flat txt file with pipe delimiters. The requirements want a trailer record with a record count. No problem so far. When access exports the file, it creates pipe delimiters for every column, including in the trailer record. (Ex. "999||||||||||") This has never been a problem with any entity I've worked with before, including the government. But this particular dev team wants only one pipe delimiter after the count (ex. "999|").

Is there a way I can accomplish this?

Edit, they're willing to accept .psv and .dat files as well, if that helps.

Edit2: Screen prints that will hopefully help explain.

Access Table with 10 records.

Export to .txt..... Devs say the pipes in yellow are problematic.

Devs want no pipes after the count in the trailer record:

Edit 3.

I'm toying with the idea of have two table. One with the records, and one with count (last row above.) If I can export the header and records only and then figure out how to export the record from "count" table and *insert or append* the sole "Trailer" record from the count table into the text file, hopefully the trailer record would keep it's formatting.

Can I export from Access and insert/append to a pre-existing text file?

Edit 4

Trying to do this with Access as much as possible. This will be run by a clerk in my absence, so I need to keep the steps to a minimum and make it as idiot-proof as possible.

Are Nation Treasures one-and-done?

I've picked every fort and leader house in the game clean. But I have contracts to loot nation treasures all over Greece. I've flipped regions from Spartan to Athenian and killed leaders. But I can't seem to find any treasures anywhere. I figure they have to regenerate somehow, otherwise I would have those quests.

For example, I just flipped Phokis from Spartan to Athenian. But there's no treasure in Desphina Fort.

Unless, maybe I didn't accept those quests until after I had mopped up all of Greece?

How can I prompt them to regenerate?

Edit, OK, going to go over Desphinas with a fine tooth comb again.

Edit2. Yep, sho 'nuff it was there. Albeit, in a different location than what I remember. Do they respawn in different locations?

Location Settings

Just logged into my ThinkPad after six months of letting my daughter tool around with Linux.

I fired up Mozilla Firefox and see a new weather widget displaying the weather in my city.

I'm in the process of researching how to block location in Firefox. But more importantly, can I block location sharing at the OS level?

Not only am I annoyed Firefox pinged my location without my expressed consent, but now I'm wondering how many other applications on Kubuntu are doing it as well.

Is there a statute of limitations on bank theft?

Three years ago my mother received a $50K settlement. When she went to deposit the check at her bank, Wells Fargo, someone at the bank talked her into this putting it into a long term, high yielding account. I had assumed she bought a CD and had been rolling it over.

Now she needs hearing aids, which can be quite expensive. So ask asked about the money. She tells me "it's gone." the money disappeared from the account and according to her, the bank looked into it and can't account for where it went. She says she was too embarrassed to tell me.

She says she never told anyone about the account and never discussed it with anyone. She's convinced an employee at the bank took it.

Is it too late to have this investigated? Can she somehow be whole on this?

Ps, is there a better sub for this?

How do you folks spend your ability points? Do you target specific abilities and max them out so you have a few specificly over-powered abilities? Or do you spread them out amongst a bunch of abilities so that you get a smaller bump throughout many skills?

Tips for finding a good audiologist?

Need to get my mom a set of hearing aids. I don't mind spending a good amount for a really good set. Be i don't really have so much money that I can by another set of the first don't work out.

So I came hear to ask "what the best brand." But after reading quite a few posts, I see that it depends and that what matters is having a good audiologist.

So the question becomes, how do I find and recognize a good audiologist? The only common theme I've seen is that it's good if the audiologist wears hearing aids. Cotsco seems to be popular as well.

We'd greatly appreciate any tips. I'm dying to get my Mom back into the world of the hearing.

Recommendations for Map/Driving app and Photo back up

I'd like to return to G-OS, but the last time I installed it, I couldn't fine a suitable replacement for Google Maps. I couldn't get any of the map apps to accept addresses let alone provide driving directions. I'm hoping the apps have improved. Which ones would you recommend?

Another issue I had was the constant worry of backing up my pictures and any new contacts. I'm figure I'll use Proton Cloud this time around. Does anyone have an other recommendations?
