Epson ET-5800 Scan skipping pages

 

I cleaned the ADF rollers (top left door). And I also went in to the Epson scan software on my laptop to change a hidden setting to be "quality" scan. Now it's not skipping pages.

Sideloading to my Fire tablet with the help of AI

I asked ChatGPT for the actual links. That worked, except the Google Play Store took a few tries to get the right link. I had to back level it a bit.

I created my gmail account on my virgin fire tablet so I could send the four links by email. This made it much easier. I just had to click each link, in order, to download from Silk. Then once all four were

Here are the four APKs you need to sideload Google Play on your Fire 7 (12th gen) running Fire OS 8.3.3.4: 

 Download & Install (in this exact order)

1. **Google Account Manager 7.1.2**
   Needed for Google account authentication on Android 6.0+.
   Download from APKMirror 

2. **Google Services Framework 10 (for Android 10+)**
   Required framework on Fire OS 8 (based on Android 11).
   Grab version 10 (29) APK from APKMirror  

3. **Google Play services**
   Use a recent “nodpi” arm64-v8a build for Android 11+.
   Example: Google Play services 24.28.x (ARM64, nodpi), downloadable on APKMirror  

4. Google Play Store (Android 10+)
   Version 46.3.21‑29 (nodpi, universal) from APKMirror (this is the one that is older but stable -- it works)

The four links:

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-services-framework/google-services-framework-10-release/google-services-framework-10-2-android-apk-download/

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-25-20-37-release/google-play-services-25-20-37-150400-766884605-android-apk-download/

Final Setup Checklist:

Just to confirm your setup is complete:

1. Google Account Manager 7.1.2 ✔️

2. Google Services Framework 10 ✔️

3. Google Play Services (ARM64, nodpi) ✔️

4. Google Play Store 46.3.21‑29 ✅

And you’ve already:

• Enabled unknown sources ✔️

• Installed in correct order ✔️

• Rebooted ✔️

• Logged into the Play Store ✔️ (or about to)

---

If you ever need to update the Play Store in the future:

• Let it auto-update in the background (usually safe)

• But if you sideload again, aim for another Android 10+ nodpi universal version

10. Make sure your choice of high quality is still selected
11. Click ok

Fastest way to switch speakers when using Windows 11

 

I sometimes project my display to the big screen tv using wireless HDMI. That's when I need to switch to using the tv speaker instead of the laptop speaker. I found out the easiest way.

Quick Settings (Quickest Method):

• Click the volume icon: Locate the volume icon on your taskbar and click it.
• Select the audio output: Click the arrow next to the volume bar to reveal a dropdown menu of available audio devices.
• Choose your desired device: Select either your computer's speakers or the TV's output depending on which you want to use. 

Or, maybe even faster, is to the shortcut: Windows-->Ctrl-V

YNAB losing settings

I found out for sure that YNAB is not storing "show reconciled transactions, running balance and flags" in cookies. Instead it's in local storage. Right click on YNAB, select Inspect, Application, and then local storage. That's where the key value pairs are stored. 

While there, click on storage which is at the top under Application. To prove this to myself, I tried unchecking everything under storage except cookies and cache storage, and then I selected clear site data. 

The results were, happily, what I expected. I did have to sign back in to YNAB because I had cleared cookies. But all three settings were still intact for each account. So, each account still shows reconciled transactions, running balance, and flags under "view options."

Below is a snapshot of my test, and then below that is my correspondence with YNAB. I found my correspondence with YNAB to be impressive. I believe they chose the best strategy for fastracking my questions -- they're actually storing a note in my account to clue in their service rep that the question I'm asking might be more technical than they are expecting.

Hello, Linda! This is Matthew from the registers and accounts team. We use local storage key-value pairs to store filter info in your browser—not cookies. The syntax for the key is something like {budget_id}_{account_id}. You can find these ids in the URL in the location bar. Here's how you browse local storage in Chrome: Looking at my own data, I have tons and tons of local storage entries, but presumably this is because I look at a huge number of YNAB plans—far more than any user would be likely to do. I hope this helps you track down why your filter settings are sometimes getting cleared, and let me know if you have any other questions!

They are stored locally on your device in your cookies. When those cookies are deleted or removed in some way, your filters are also removed. This can also be the case if you're using a VPN or incognito browser of some sort. Those filters then wouldn't last from session to session. As for the correspondence not being read carefully, I'd like to apologize on behalf of the team. We strive to read each message carefully, but sometimes in attempting to also be speedy, things can get overlooked. That's something for us to work on and I appreciate you bringing it to our attention! As for how to get more technical answers, we tend to default towards not assuming any particular level of technical skill, so sometimes our answers may seem overly simplified. I've added a note to your account that you're a technically savvy YNABer and that you prefer more technical responses.  I hope all this is helpful, but please don't hesitate to reach back out with more questions.

My comment wasn't about how to set them up. What I said is that these settings sometimes get turned off. I cannot find where you are STORING those settings. Are they stored client-side or are they server-side? If they are client-side, please tell me where in my browser I can see them, so I can figure out how to stop them from getting turned off. They don't appear to be stored in cookies but maybe I'm overlooking something. And if they are server-side, please figure out why they sometimes get turned off when I have not requested they be turned off. Something else I have, indeed noticed about YNAB, is that my correspondence is sometimes not read carefully. Maybe you can tell me how to more directly contact your technical folks when I have a technical question such as this current one.

Chrome vs. Google Meet

 

The problem with Google Meet in Chrome

A few minutes in, my Windows 11 freezes, crashes, and sometimes reboots.

Two solutions

Either turn off graphics acceleration in Chrome or use Google Meet in Firefox. If I turn off graphics acceleration in Chrome, then google maps 3D won't work, but I can use Google maps in Firefox.
