Looking for basic Android TVbox mainly for using rumble and youtube apps.

I'm looking for a rooted android TV box to run a third party launcher like Nova or something similar so I can use my TV like an android tablet (with a home screen with icons), and use it with an MX3 air mouse. Mainly for the purpose of using regular android apps like Rumble and NewPipe/Youtube and something like AdAway.

Right now my 2017 T95Z Plus box (android 6) has reached it's limit. The latest .apk rumble app (v3.1.23) before going to .xapk)) no longer works as of a few days ago. The app loads but video windows are blank and says "something went wrong".

Can anyone recommend something similar, but updated and more powerful, with an ethernet and usb ports so I can connect my MX3 Air Mouse USB receiver and ethernet cable? Thanks

Bad batch of Espoma Potting Mix?

I bought a 2 cu ft bag of Espoma Potting Mix from esbenshades.com a while back and I just came to realize that everything I planted in it is not doing good. I've been buying this brand for a couple of decades but this is the first time I noticed something is wrong with it. I noticed the texture of the soil was different and when it's DRY in the pot, it's very spongy and tan in color. Almost reminds me of coconut coir or straight peat moss. I don't know.

What can be wrong with it? Thanks. I may just remove this potting mix from the few plants I recently potted and use a different brand. I'll post a picture if you guys request. Thanks.

How do I get old cards view back from v 148?

Just updated from v148 to 152 and the cards view is different. How do I get the old view back?Cards view border rules are bolder (lighter in dark mode), with square corners and a different size. The thread pane tint (around the cards) is now dark grey where before it was black (dark mode). Cards now don't break at a whole card at the bottom of the window. My star icon (and trash icon from an add-on) is very close to the border on the right. Updating is such a hassle at times. See v148 top and v152 bottom:

Ebay login prompted this from Windows Security

Never seen this before. After I entered my password for Ebay (which I enter manually- not stored in LW v149), I get this popup from Windows Security. It even had my email which is not my Ebay username. It's the email in my Ebay account but I don't use it to login. NEVER seen this before with any website because I have most of the Windows Security crap disabled.

How did it know my email? And how can I clear any info it saved and how can I stop this from coming up again. When I saw this, I immediately force closed it. Thanks.

EDIT: When I go into the Windows 11 settings -> Accounts, I can't even access Sign-in Options and Emails & Accounts because I have a lot of windows security crap disabled.

Bell peppers - bottom end rot and slow growth

I'm in zone 7b and last year we planted bell peppers and tomatoes with squash, eggplant, cucumbers. Also curly kale and romaine. Tomatoes (next to the bell peppers) got huge, but EVERY bell pepper had bottom end rot (or at least I think) when they were golf ball size and they seemed to ripen/ turn red when they were that small too. Same soil, same watering, same fertilizer (plant-tone at planting time and then tomato-tone in mid season)

Are tomatoes just more robust? It seems tomatoes (and everything else in my garden) grow at a rapid rate compared to bell peppers. This year, my tomato plants now are already 3 feet tall and pepper plants are about a foot and a lot of buds.

I have a feeling the BER will happen again this year. Anything I can do or look out for? Are peppers just more sensitive to overwatering than tomatoes? Maybe I'm watering too often (every 2-3 days) and for too long? Should I amend calcium to the soil only around the peppers? What about pruning or removing buds to encourage more plant growth? I'm at a loss and I'm no pro at this! Thanks.

Automobile forum websites not loading

When you guys visit these webpages, is it displaying properly? Since last nite, ALL OF A SUDDEN, without changing anything in my LW, I've had issues loading any of the automobile websites run by this type of host.

When I visit sites like this, the web address and tab text rapidly blinks and the website never loads. Are you guys finding the same? They load fine with a chromium browser. Didn't yet try it with a fresh install of LW or FF. Thanks.

https://www.crvownersclub.com/forums/

https://www.club4g.org

I'd greatly appreciate if anyone can say that these sites load fine (or not) with LW. Thanks.

--------------------

UPDATE: I read that something changed on these websites and I'm not the only one having issues with LW/FF.

What does a "reworked" MAW12AV1QWT-C really mean?

Are the "reworked" Midea U model AC units still BRAND NEW / UNUSED OR UNRETURNED units, with NO parts being carried-over from customer-returned recalled units- and boxes were only re-opened to supply new drain plugs, etc?

Is Costco currently ONLY selling the "reworked" MAW12AV1QWT-Cs?

Just curious because I just purchased the MAW12AV1QWT-C (12000 BTU Midea U AC) from Costco yesterday and then noticed other retail outlets were selling this at a much higher price, and then realized they're selling a later version of this model. I input the SN into Midea's website to find "This unit has been identified as previously reworked...". Then noticed on the box:

-Stickers with a UPC code and black dots are covering every original UPC code.
-The item number (2677429) on both sides of the box is covered with plain white stickers.
-One of the serial numbers on the box (one on each side) was covered by plain white sticker.
-The box was FILTHY. Looks like it was left on top of a diesel truck for about a year. All of them on the entire pallet at this particular Costco were dirty and all were opened and re-taped.

Thanks. I thought I was buying a brand new unit. Nothing from Costco about these being "reworked".

------------------------------

UPDATE:

One of my original questions was: Is Costco currently ONLY selling the "reworked" MAW12AV1QWT-Cs? Answer: NO. A few days ago, that's all they had on the floor (with the black dots, etc), but now, they also have a newer stock of MAW12AV1QWT-C fresh from the factory. Those boxes look brand new with no stickers covering anything and with a different item number- 1953205 instead of 2677429. I put one of those SNs into the Midea website and it says unaffected by the recall.

Can multiple successful Xfinity Logins then cause "wrong password"?

Can multiple successful Xfinity Logins then cause "wrong password"? I was helping somebody with their PC and we logged into Xfinity like 4 times to confirm the Edge Browser was synced their Microsoft account.

Can quick logins and logouts cause the Xfinity system to then lockout the login and say it's the wrong password? The Xfinity password has been stored in their Edge browser so there is no chance of it being changed. Thanks.

To make matters worse, the phone number associated with the account to reset the password (which I know is valid because we just logged-in) is no longer in service because the husband has passed away.
