Living Room / Disaster plan
« Last post by kalos on March 15, 2017, 05:04 PM »
Hello!

Which would be the best software/service in case something really bad happens, such as the hard disk crashes or my laptop is stolen?

I want to have my important (or all if possible) files in a secure cloud.

1) I also need the backup to occur automatically whenever there is a change in my files
2) I want to specify which folders/files to backup
3) I want to keep versions of the files

Any suggestion? Which would be the most reliable?

thanks!

I think I said already that my model is Xiaomi Redmi Pro 3 International Version.
I flashed to MIUI 8.1 but still very buggy, apps make it crash and when in silent mode apps are not heard, while switching back to normal mode apps are still not heard.

I had all the good intent, but how can they ship something in such a buggy state?

OK, then if hardware is fine, will these EU roms be the solution?

Living Room / Prevent screen lock
« Last post by kalos on February 11, 2017, 06:27 AM »
Hello!

I am using a remote computer with very limited abilities due to strict administration and I want to prevent it from locking its screen.

Is there a way to do that?

I was thinking to open Internet Explorer and visit a website that will somehow do something periodically to prevent standby?

Or is there any other solution?

Thanks

Sorry but your recommendation to buy the Xiaomi seems not good.
-kalos (February 02, 2017, 06:16 AM)

I suggest you read the thread again, I mentioned a particular model of phone that I was interested in, I didn't recommend it one way or another - I said multiple times that you need to do the research before getting anything.
I also mentioned that the MIUI OS is crap and that you should walk into a store and buy a phone because:
a) You're using the phone for business purposes. Why the hell are you buying something that is apparently a critical use item by mail order from another country where you'll have limited immediate repair/replacement options?
b) You were unwilling to do any research on the subject.

And we still have no idea exactly what phone you've bought or the OS version it's running because of your consistent lack of providing information.

I never trusted anything chinese and this comes to justify my opinion. Chinese companies, people, technology, etc are decades back, their quality is not just low, it's absolute crap.

Then why didn't you get a Samsung S6 or S7 with optional bonus firelighter and be secure in the knowledge that you've bought quality?
-4wd (February 02, 2017, 04:24 PM)


It has MIUI 8.0.5.0 and Android 6.

It freezes very often, Google maps voice is not heard, sometimes I don't receive the call when people are caling me.

Is there a solution to this before sending this crap back to its vendor?

The phone somehow disconnects from the network in the mornings after I leave it charging next to by bed. It has been a couple of mornings that they tried to call me and the phone didn't ring at all and they said that the call could not go through. However, there is no miss call on my phone. Then, I restart the phone and I get message for missed calls.

This is so crucial problem, not to be able to receive calls. I never trusted anything chinese and this comes to justify my opinion. Chinese companies, people, technology, etc are decades back, their quality is not just low, it's absolute crap.

General Software Discussion / Record sound with a portable application
« Last post by kalos on January 23, 2017, 02:29 PM »
Hello!

I need a portable application (since my laptop admin has disabled installing of software) that will record webex sessions.

Is there a portable app that will help me record sound from webex directly and not from my mic?

thanks!

How can I transfer my data from my current Samsung Note 3?
-kalos (January 10, 2017, 03:48 PM)

  • Phone to PC and then from PC to Phone
  • Google Drive
  • Flash drive via OTG
  • AirDroid
  • FTP server
  • Unplug uSD from old phone, plug into new phone
  • Turn on Backup data and Automatic Restore
  • Root phone, back up apps with Titanium Backup ★ root, restore on (rooted) new phone

Be more specific: What "data" ?
-4wd (January 10, 2017, 05:58 PM)

By data, I mean not really files like photos and videos that I can just copy to the new phone.

I mean for example my YMail app that has been set up with my accounts, my settings etc. My Tasker app, that has scripts and settings. My Sleipnir browser that has bookmarks and opened tabs that it remembers.

Is there a way to transfer these or I have to manually install them and set them up from the begining?

Also, I don't quite understand the list you said, are these steps of the procedure? Will that procedure do what I need?
thanks!

Thanks IainB

however:

1) the definitions you posted are not very comprehensible, is there a resource with definitions in simple terms?
2) I cannot find definitions of terms I may come across, I need a complete table of the ALL the relevant terms and their definitions and how they work etc, that's why I need a complete reference, is there any?

Hello!

Can you tell me please an introductory book that will cover things like:

debt and equity markets
fixed income
securities
derivatives
etc?

I have no idea what these terms mean and I don't want to just google them, because I want to have a complete introduction, instead of sporadic dictionary searches

thanks!

Guys! I am really stuck!

JDownloader has no option do delay between downloads and GetRight is trialware with who knows limitations!

Isnt there any real free solution?

I need to load a text file of urls, grab the cookie from Firefox or other browser, and download the links with some delay one after the other!

The World has moved on since you started your quest, a dollar less than your first link gets you 1GB more RAM and the Snapdragon 820.

https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/280965 - US$20 off coupon

-kalos (December 11, 2016, 05:30 PM)

thanks but smaller battery

Much more efficient and powerful CPU, by benchmarks, battery life is equivalent to a phone with the Snapdragon 650 even if the 820 is using a 1000mAh less capacity battery.

and smaller screen 5" !

Less efficient eyesight, get glasses.
-4wd (December 11, 2016, 05:51 PM)

oh ok but is the screen any good?
and how about SAR?

Redmi Pro 3, ticks all the boxes!

@4wd smart!

But why it cannot be simple and cheap as a bluetooth dongle that will sit on the car and when the pda or even a small dongle in the keychain of the car's key pairs with it, a signal will be generated in the pda?

Bluetooth has 1m range, in contrast with wifi that has several meters range (and the cars must be quite close together at the depot)!

I read online for JDownloader that it doesnt support delay between downloads or it needs a script or something.

I went to download GetRight but is it payware/spyware?
349
Living Room / Re: grab urls
« Last post by kalos on December 09, 2016, 02:04 PM »
anyone please?

I need a download manager that will use my Firefox cookie / form authentication and that will download a list of urls I will feed to it delaying between each!

wget may work but I need to read the manual to make it work and I don't have the capacity to do tests!

sorry but the driver will not remember to put the phone on the surface

that's why I need a wireless way, that will detect that the specific pda is inside the car, is there a way?

thanks!
