Iheart, is dumb on my phone, I dont know how to use it

How to get Gemini to play the news feed that I setup in AA

Gemini kept saying it could not play my selected news feed in AA, but could read the news headlines, so I opened the news app and clicked one of the news apps in the list and then it played.

Is there some format I have to tell it.

Signed up for 12 month $15 month introductory plan but accidently chose 6gb on wife's phone

I clicked too fast, I was thinking 50gb but screwed it up.

I suppose nothing can be done to go to 50gb now except wait a year?

She is not mad. We cam from Verizon and 2gb a month

trial sim in a Note 9, set things up, but had to do reset network connections to make calls work

I thought it was a no go, but that then allowed it to make calls. Formerly on Verizon Wireless, phone is unlocked

Drove down road and mobile data was working but calls not working, odd? Plus when phone was restarting kept showing Verizon, Not Mint Banner. And was getting notification saying Verizon Sim card not found.

Been on mint unlimited 1 year plan a week and so far been great, used only 600mb so far

It is all good. Tmobile network is as good or better than Verizon. I was on Verizon for decades. I had some angst and worry but it all came together without a glitch once I paid and followed the setup and port number transfer process. Your biggest concern is phone compatibility and unlock status.

In Verizon logged in you can see your unlock-lock status. See I had 2 Mint techs tell me my s23FE was locked to Verizon after giving them my IMEI, and that was bad info, it was not locked, it is actually a Factory unlocked Samsung phone. So I did not move to Mint because of Mint Tech support, but in spite of it.

I chose eSIM cause did not want to get a physical SIM, I think eSim is better all around.

The one setup glitch I had was setting a password, and when I called Mint tech, they said problem was on their end.

Also in the Mint Mobile setup with eSim, email from Mint was slow to arrive. so I put it in manually, copy and past, you goto eSim in settings, and click scan QR code, and then since you dont have one, click enter manually.

Also then the Mint Mobile app kind of drops you, and you looking at settings, and wonder where is the app? So I closed everything, reopened Mint Mobile app, and t took me to setup your password. So it picks up where it left off.

what size is 1/2" solid metal conduit tubing? 5/8" outside, 1/8" inside?

I was wondering if I can create a wood core drill with the tube. I am trying to remove a 1/2" steel bolt rusted in a slab of douglas fir wood. I used a 5/8" bimetal hole saw 2" long which easily ran down creating space between wood and bolt, but it is too short. I need to cut another 4". Cant drill from other side. I was thinking cut some saw teeth into tube end and mount pipe into a drill somehow. It would be nice to get rid of the old bolt. I can't hit it out. not enough room. See when I tried to remove that bolt, I whacked top with a heavy hammer, and seemed to loosen up, then when turning the head about a 1/2" inch down in the wood, it snapped. I had not loosened it, all I did was twist off the top of the bolt.

All I need is a short piece of tube to try and create this. Alternatively buy something, but cant find anything.

older Note 8 on Mint. everything works except for mobile data

I have a LTE 4G data symbol. Mint support says everything on their end is good. I have no mobile data icon showing to even toggle it off and on. What do you suppose is the phone locked? It was Sprint Phone I use on Verizon, and everything works on Verizon. Verizon tech swears they did not lock phone. But from reading web info, phone may be carrier locked long ago. I called Tmobile with IMEI, and they have no record of this phone. I have ordered an unlocked S23 from Amazon refurbished which they say is excellent condition.

Have you thought how a car could detect a person in a hot car left alone

Easy to say do something with technology, hard to figure out what.

We need more intelligent warning for kids in a seat so they dont get left behind. People who are not thinking properly, only takes once for a tragedy.

Maybe computer monitor temperature and internal cameras could ID a person in a car and open the door then send a notification. etc... And if nothing happens like a rescue, the car computer can up the game to a higher level.

27" Older bike, I redid the brake handles, needs longer pads for improved braking.

I am thinking the new shimano control handles dont develop the same force to these little pads. I think longer pads will help a lot front and rear. Does anyone have a part number to look at?

Bike really has a hard time stopping.

Remove axle nut and screw on a peg, so that the peg is then the nut.

Or is there something besides getting a longer axle. Other side the peg fits fine with nut in place. Can axle be slid over

Finished up 2" lift kit on rear today on our 2016 SE

I like it. Car feels much higher up , drives great, no more scraping curbs when parking or the driveway when pulling in. The rear did not have a drop bracket for rear shock, but I went over some big bumps and no noises. I put in adjustable upper control arms for camber, and put the lower control arm inner eccentric toe adjust bolts back to where they were, meaning mark them before removal. I made a change to the OEM bump stop deign. Honda used a hollow rear bump stop and the end of it tears itself apart over time and cracks. I cut off about an inch to solid rubber. Then used energy suspension red poly bushings bolted to control arm spring perch. Centered on the marks embedded in the paint., drilled a 3/8 mount hole. What it will do is come up with control arm and hit the OEM cut down bump stop if needed.

Doing this is a lot cheaper than buying OEM style stops that rot and fall apart.

Lower control arms, nut fits on inside and a deep socket with big pliers to hold red cushion tightens them down. An existing drain hole exists, so a single 3/8 hole on top is all that is needed

new slider roller upper bracket too short, door rubs paint, added 2 washers, now no rubing

Bought a new roller as I thought door was dragging, but the old Honda one was ok.

However it was made wrong, it is a little too short, enough that as the door finishes closing, part of the door hit the rear quarter panel scraping by it. Not enough to hear anything, but it has transferred black paint from bracket to white car. The fix is simple, either get a new genuine Honda roller, put old roller back on, or, easiest thing is, use 2 galvanized washers under the black support bracket. That pushes door far enough away it gives a 1/8" clearance to car body on closing, which is same as the other sliding door.

Door still lines up perfectly.

When I replaced this 2 weeks ago I had not noticed. Also I removed bracket to put new roller on it. Marked door with marker for alignment when bolting bracket back on

Offending bracket was I thought superior with steel rollers, does run smooth. If you used one like this, take a look and see if it rubs on your car.

2016se left slide door on close pulls in too far at rear, 2 seconds later it pushes back out, door alarms in drive

I took apart the inner handle lock actuator assembly and verified that works.

Now I wonder if this other part is the defective one. It bolts in at door rear and is the power latch.

Two cables run down to door latch motor assembly. Why does this thing pull rear of door in to far, then it knows it did and it partially releases rear of door into proper position

I cut out long 9" aluminum seat post sing bimetal hole saws 7/8 and 1 inch in steel bike frame

Cut down twice. Aluminum being softer kept it centered and did not cut through the steel bike seat tube. Stuck aluminum post was deep in the seat tube a full 9 inches deep. Definitely got the steel hot enough it was smoking the paint. I would cut and then withdraw and let it cool a little, then cut down some more.

I switched to a 1/2 gear reduction Bosch drill as the smaller Dewalt got overloaded.

The extension, made sure the allen bolt was locked into the mandrel where it cuts down, and always drill clockwise, meaning do not reverse or it could unscrew from holt saw.

drilled out all the way down. I would drill, then fip bike to dump out the cuttings.

also this frame, seat tube does not connect to the bearings, when made was welded shut, no metal bits got into them. I am going to eventually buy a 26.2mm chrome steel bike seat post, not going back to aluminum. Old post I cut will still be used. Will place seat close to frame and good fit for the grandkids to ride.

lots of shavings. Hole saw with steady pressure ate up the entire seat post and preserved steel frame.
