Chery (Great Australian Pods)<p>Happens a lot. There was a bug in the MedAdvisor Android app. It wouldn't accept photos of scripts for several weeks. I sent them an email explaining the problem we had encountered. I included the information that it didn't work on either my phone model or the husband's different model both running android version etc. Their first response was to ask what phone I was using. 🤦‍♀️<br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/TechHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechHelp</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Feedback" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Feedback</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/PleaseListen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PleaseListen</span></a></p>

Dr Pen<p>Please tell me how to get rid of this cross that shows up on Moshidon current version and opens emoji stuff as an option when you reply to a post. I really do not want this. It wasn't on the old Megalodon (which I still think is a pref UE). But, I think it's to do with mastodon.social settings bc it's not in my Mementomori account interface if I view that with Moshidon.

Mister Dave<p>I want to host media from an RPi4. I recognize that transcoding video on an RPi is likely to be very slow. Is it practical/possible to set up a system where I transcode on my main machine (iMac with discrete graphics, not in front of it now so idk details off hand) and then transfer them to Jellyfin (or some DLNA server?) for serving to clients? </p><p><a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/advice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>advice</span></a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/techHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>techHelp</span></a></p>

There have a vertical linearity issue on this CRT I picked up last weekend. It's a Magnavox "Computer Monitor 80" with no model # on the case anywhere, but I believe it's a Philips BM7500-series, or so.

(See the bottom 3-4 lines of text vs the rest of the text on screen - vertically squished.)

Here is the service manual as close as could be found,

archive.org/details/PhilipsBM7

Can anyone tell from the schematic if there is a V.LIN pot on the board somewhere that I would find upon opening the unit? I'd like to get it adjusted and use it.

If it's a caps issue, I wonder how many would need to be replaced to get it back to snuff? This display was manufactured in late 1986.

Here's an odd Linux question:

What 32bit Linux OS would you recommend? Being able to do most things with a GUI would be preferable.

What I'm working with here:

Windows tablet

CPU
Intel(R) Atom(TM) x5-Z8350 CPU @ 1.44GHz 1.44 GHz
RAM
2.00 GB
GPU
Intel(R) HD Graphics with 1GB
Storage
29.1 GB
System Type
X86-based PC
Chipset
AMI Cherry Trail CR

It is currently (barely) running Win10 and absolutely will not run Win11. I don't think it can run a 64bit OS. I'd like for it to still work. I'm hoping that will a Linux OS it would actually work better.
