I'm experiencing sporadic/intermittent issues with Google while VPN'd into Atlanta. It's strange. I might go a week with no issues then, like this morning, could not access anything on google.com (except mail) unless I disconnected VPN, despite the connection location.

Anyone seeing this?

The app no longer allows me to select the Pizza Hut store from which I receive deliveries. The store to which it defaults has horrible service, poor product quality, and is not dependable. There is another store which is almost the same distance from my home but in the other direction.

How can I get my default store changed?

My presumption was that turning off Silent Mode for updates wouldn't just completely shut down the update process until there is user interaction. When Silent Mode is off, you display a dialog requiring users to click a button to proceed. The expectation was that the user would just be able to see the update occurring - not having to interact.

This is a design flaw. Please fix.

Hearing watercooler talk that Kristall Klar is about the best windshield washer concentrate out there. Having trouble finding it, though. Any tips on where it can be bought?

The deer devour our flowers. I've long searched for some sort of motion sensor that would integrate with my smart irrigation controller. Today, another user suggested creating a routine that triggers on camera motion and turns on the irrigation. Fortunately, my Orbit B-Hyve controller is Alexa-integrated.

Setup the routine and continued to have issues. After a bit of Googling, I discovered that Alexa has trouble with "B-Hyve" in the routine and must be spelled fonetically </lame humor>.

Spelled as "beehive" in the routine seems to work fine. Hope this saves someone some time when doing the same.

So, tonight I begin handing out unsolicited face sprays to the wildlife.

I have a 5-zone irrigation system with an Orbit smart controller. Two of the zones are flower beds. I would like to add a motion sensor which I could configure to be enabled at specific times at night to kick on the irrigation to shoo away deer.

Do any products like this exist?

I have what appears to be an older duplicate installed from 2025 and am attempting to uninstall it. The uninstall prompts for the file IntelGraphicsSoftware_25.6.1152.1_Release.exe which is not found on my system.

Not found on Intel site.

Any tips on finding this file or removing it without the file?

Hi, Mods.

I've reported this many times over the years to both humans via website chat and through the website feedback form. I'm beginning to lose faith that the problem will be addressed due to it falling upon deaf ears or some product manager or dev having absolute zero understanding of the issue.

When a user clicks Trade on the website, the popup trade form will malform an amount pasted into the Amount field when amount type is set to Dollars. For example, you copy the value $10,000.00 from any source...Fidelity website, Excel spreadsheet, whatever...and paste it into that field then tab away from that field causing it to lose focus. The value validation code in the background which executes upon focus loss will convert that pasted value to $10.00 due to not properly interpreting the comma due to not properly using the code's function for converting a string to a number. I will happily provide a video demonstrating the issue if desired.

This has been happening for years and is incredibly annoying. Please report this with some measure of importance.

Thank you.

With patio umbrella poles typically being thin aluminum these days, they're easily damaged by most umbrella bases I've seen available. They secure the umbrella by one bold that just tightens into the side of the pole. This will eventually puncture the pole if over-tightened.

Is anyone aware of an umbrella base product that uses a different form of securing rather than just one bolt pressing into the pole?

Is there an option/setting I'm missing to hide these zoom buttons?

Bought the Calendar 2 with the arrogant assumption that the product added, at the least, a minimal amount of privacy. Without the ability to add a lock code then anyone - friend, visitor, whomever - may tap the screen and see your calendar, among other things.

This will likely be the reason this product is returned.

I want the ability to create macros or some similar shortcut that would:

1. With one click, buy a ticker with all available-to-trade funds - market or limit.
2. With one click, sell all shares held of a ticker - market or limit.

Ideally, I would be able to setup this macro to do this for several accounts at one time.

In other words, all-in with one click. All-out with one click.

Does the Skylight Calendar 2 permit access to streaming services like ESPN, e.g.?

My local bank does not allow me to setup Fidelity as a transfer recipient for the convenience of initiating an EFT transfer to Fidelity using the bank's mobile app or website. I can do this via wire transfer for a $25 fee and have to physically do so at the bank branch. My only option then, to avoid the wire fee, is to initiate the transfer at Fidelity and "pull" the funds from my checking account. The funds, however, are on hold for up to 7 days - a fraud/laundering prevention measure, I suppose.

So, I'm shopping around for a bank that allows a bank-initiated EFT to Fidelity and I'm not finding one which does - not even American Express.

Does financial industry governance forbid a bank-initiated transfer (not a wire) to investment accounts?

• Need a shortcut that will "Buy in dollars the security XXX at market with all remaining available-to-trade funds in account ZZZ."
• Need a shortcut that will "Sell all shares of XXX at market in account ZZZ."

Will it currently do this? I'm not seeing that it's currently possible.

I'm shopping around. What's your go-to site for trustworthy reviews?

I tried my usual go-to (PCMag), but didn't see much there.

Is there a term for moving your eyes side-to-side without moving your head?

Is it "sodder" your eyes?

May 28 will be one year since the pain started in my left buttock (said in Forest Gump voice) which also radiates down the left leg. Curiously, it skips my quad and hamstring - just the left butt, calf, and foot. I'm left-butthurt. Leg is on fire even standing. Sitting is worse.

Saw an ortho. MRI of spine. Said nothing wrong with spine. Sent me to PT. Did PT for some months. No improvement. Ortho suggested injection into piriformis. Did that. Zero benefit. More months of PT. No improvement. Went to different ortho. More MRIs and x-rays. Says he wants to be absolutely certain it's not the spine. Sends me to spine dude. More x-rays. Tons of questions about how and when it hurts. Spine dude says he is 99.9% certain it's not spinal.

I go back to the other ortho tomorrow morning to discuss the possibility of a piriformis release procedure. I have a litany of questions written down with which to pepper him.

If you have had this procedure performed, I would greatly appreciate hearing your story...recovery time & difficulty, pain relief effectiveness, etc.
