First of all I want to say that I'm far from a Crypto expert, I buy some Crypto maybe like once a year. Pretty much always to make some purchase, I don't know if it's the same for people from the US. But from amounts higher then a 1000 euros you can only send it to a private wallet, which for me is Exodus.

Also, I've been registered and validated for everything on Coinbase for years so I can buy, trade and sell without any restrictions (expect for a financial limit). Despite that I had a extremely frustrating experience today with Coinbase.

I just bought the 'crypto' I wanted (USDC) and then I wanted to transfer it to my Exodus wallet so I could transfer it from there to where I wanted. But then I got 3 options for verification: Connect to Coinbase Wallet, Message signing or Small deposit test. I choose the first option and had to scan a QR code with the app, so I downloaded the app. Then I needed the 'Base' app, followed all instructions but I couldn't complete the steps for multiple reasons.

I tried the 'Message signing' option, also no luck. I just kept ending up to the start screen of the app without anything seemingly happening. I then tried the 'Small deposit test', because I had some ETH in my Exodus wallet. Waited for the transaction to complete, got an e-mail. Something was wrong, I needed to check the transaction in the app and verify something. Can't find the transaction anywhere and can't complete the steps required.

Now I already hate all these apps, I just want to do these thing on my computer and not on a phone. Add the endless sms messages and e-mails to verify this and that on top of it. I tried for 90 minutes, mostly repeating the first two options to verify with the apps, but no luck...

Is it me or has Coinbase become unneeded complicated for such a basic action?? In the end I got so frustrated that I just gave up (I had a deadline, so I had to make the payment today) and just sold the crypto and send it back to my bank account.

So, is there another good platform where I can just buy crypto and send it to my personal wallet without apps, verification's (not the one to register to a platform) and all this other nonsense?

I hope somebody can help me out.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everybody,

I have a Duo Mini 3 litres (3.2 Quart ?) and I want to stew some meat. I have 'Meat | Stew' function, but I never used it before. I pretty much only use it for pressure cooking.

So in my mini I put 125ml (0.5 cup or 4.2 fluid ounce) water for pressure cooking. How many water or broth should I be using for the stew function? And how much time would you advise? I read for cubes it could be around 20-25 minutes, but for whole thicker pieces about 45-50 minutes.

And should I use the metal tray? I always use it with pressure cooking, but with the stew function would it be better (or even necessary) to put it directly in the liquid?

Any insight is welcome, thank you in advance! :)

So now I just have EmulationStation-DE that has all the emulators and for some games (ROMS) I have a separate 'entry/launcher'. Sorry, I'm not sure how to word this in English but I hope you know what I mean.

But I would like to have the emulators show up separately. Is this possible, because I haven't found a way to do this so far...

Thanks in advance! :)

So recently I noticed the action 'Empty all Recycle Bins' didn't reclaim any space while deleting tons of data.

So I went to my multimedia share and saw a /.Trash-1000/ folder containing my deleted files, I believe there wasn't a #recycle folder present so I checked my shared folder settings. Recycle Bin for that share was disabled, which is weird because I always have Recycle Bins enabled for all of my shares (with maybe the odd exception).

I've setup countless Synology devices and this is not something I forget, then I remembered that like two weeks ago there was an update for my device so I wondered if was possible the update somehow disabled my Recycle Bins for my shares?

Anyway, deleted files now end up in /.Trash-1000/files/ and when I do 'Empty all Recycle Bins' nothing happens. I have to delete the files from that folder manually, then they will end up in /#recycle/.Trash-1000/files/ and then the action 'Empty all Recycle Bins' will actually delete the files which makes sense.

So I deleted the /.Trash-1000/ folder, but when I deleted files after that this folder was recreated (while Recycle Bins are enabled now for my shares) and files end up there again. So I need to delete them manually again for them to end up in the Recycle Bin, so that I can successfully perform 'Delete all Recycle Bins'.

Am I doing something wrong, has anybody encountered this problem as well and is there a fix?

Thanks in advance! :)
