I cannot figure out what is wrong with my voice typing feature for my Google account. I use the voice typing feature all the time and understand that if I say the word “period” or “comma” It adds the symbol. However, all of a sudden it stopped doing that. Now it just inserts the word or the word in brackets. I’ve tried everything I can think of to fix this problem with no luck. Even my tech department can’t figure this out. It seems to only be effecting me and my account.

Anyone out there experience something similar or have a possible solution? It seemed to started after I added some extensions, but I deleted those and there was no change.

For context, this is happing on my work pc and at home on Mac. I don’t usually use this feature on the Google app on my phone.

Question from someone who knows very little about this topic right now.

I want to set up a headless home server that I run through my desktop Mac. I know nothing about servers or terminal languages. Up to this point, I’ve been using ChatGPT to help me guide me through the process. I already have a mini PC, external hard drive, and a VPN. I’ve set up my mini PC with Linux, connected it to my Mac, and have been inputting commands and making changes via the terminal there. However, before I actually turned the thing loose and let it communicate on the web, I wanna make sure I’m doing things the right way, and not trusting an AI. My ultimate goal was to hook it up to you Usenet system.

Where should I go to get the information I need, regarding terms, inputs, coding, to finish the process? The last step I need in the process is a provider and indexer. I have choices in mind, just need to subscribe and hook up. As far as I know, everything else is working (but again, I don’t know enough to actually understand whether it’s working. I’m just trusting the chat bot)

I have a 2019 RAV4 that has 101,500 miles on it. I know I need an oil change but I looked up what other maintenance is recommended for a car with that many miles and one of the things that suggested was a coolant flush because the coolant becomes corrosive after a while. That’s expensive and before I start planning for it I wonder if it’s an actually necessary thing to do. Anything else I should be looking to do to maintain a car that has driven for this long? Anything qualify as a good idea but not mission critical?

Given how expensive hard drives are I’m trying to think of new ways to source storage.

I’m very new to this and I’m looking to set up a Plex server. Would the community recommend using a 16TB Recertified SATA Drive if I can find it cheaper than a brand new desktop external hard drive?

I am relatively recently diagnosed and I’m still trying to wrap my head around what NVLD is. But I’ve recently thought about describing it to others as autism, but only in half of my brain. I know it’s not technically correct but I feel like it gives people a frame of reference to start from. But I wanna know what the larger community thinks about it?

Questions from a green horn.

Given the run on components, how would someone who is interested in setting up a self hosted media hub go about sourcing things like mini PCs and external hard drives. Prices on those components seem to just keep going up. Is this something that one can just wait out and eventually become reasonably priced or is that still a long way off?
