I don’t use my card regularly. It continues to work when I do use it without incident. It is the only MicroSD card I trust on Temu.

Does the dongle you’re trying to pair have a little orange sun logo on it? If so, that is a unifying receiver. The video and utility referenced in that clip were specifically about pairing a non-unifying receiver to a compatible keyboard and mouse. It’s not possible to mix and match unifying and non-unifying receivers. I have a video on how to pair a unifying receiver. It’s a different utility that is downloaded, but pretty much the same process after that. That utility will certainly recognize the unifying USB receiver. I’m not sure that it will pair it with the keyboard and mouse because they were designed to communicate with the non-unifying receiver. Aside from the logo, a unifying receiver by design can be paired with multiple devices. While functional, it does make them more expensive and people don’t tend to use them as much. corporate America has really gone with the much cheaper and functional non-unifying receiver with its compatible, keyboard and mouse.

@@technologistonthego2377 Hello, firstl, thanks a ton for your prompt reply! No i do not have a unifying dongle. Its a normal one - my mouse is M221 silent logitech mouse. The dongle that I have is also for M221 logitech but for a different M221 mouse. and the utility software Iasks me to plug-in a wireless receiver but does not detect one when I connect it

Admittedly, I do not have your model to test out this feature. As per Microsoft, it’s supposed to work. How far into the process did it get? Did you see the circle of dots under the surface logo?

@@reneesquivel6449 its ok, the unexpected restart error, is an undocumented one. basically you go into regedit, and change the install value from 1 to 3, and then it works. there are other youtube videos explaining it. its more of installation error. the problem with the surface pro 1, is that there are no settings in the bios to make it boot from USB. it only has UEFI settings. also you can try to force it by pressing power on, and volume up, but there's no indicator if it works or not. complicating things are if you are using a docking station, or the port on the maching.

The MSI gaming monitors have a variety of crosshair you can use, but not one of them is customizable. As I commented in another post, my grandson likes using the small app, crosshair X because it allow it allows him to customize the size of his crosshairs. That is a software app that will run on your PC, but it carries a light footprint. The advantage of the monitor is that it’s generated at the display level with zero impact on PC resources.

It’s a feature of MSI gaming monitors. It’s accessible through the menu option. So the cost really boils down to the cost of the monitor.

Yes, I have found the Kodak brand to be reliable. I have purchased two of them so far.

Can you make the crosshair smaller

No, you have the identical sets of red and white cross hairs and they cannot be customized. My grandson doesn’t like that aspect of it. He goes with a small piece of software called crosshair X, as that is customizable.

@@technologistonthego2377 you need a Pc tho I think

I had replied but apparently did not send. My apologies for the late response. Yes, this has "pass-through", but only for the USB ports. You cannot both power a device from the AC outlet and charge it at the same time - it seems that is a safety feature. Have I found better? Maybe. I like a Basseus power bank that has an AC outlet on it. I would like to see if that gives longer lasting charge, but I believe it's pass-through power has the same limitation. I did get a Basseus power bank but without the AC outlet. It works as advertised: power a MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and iPhone Pro at the same time. I tried to power a Pocket PC with a Celeron N100 processor at a customer site hosting a WebEx for remote access to a switch. During the meeting, the Pocket PC powered down. It turns out the output of the USB-c ports on the Basseus power bank can experience brief interruptions. While this is not an issue for the devices it is spec'd to charge (as they have internal batteries), it was death for the Pocket PC. As you might have guessed, I quickly went to this portable power bank and had no issues at all. I powered a portable monitor and Mac mini M1 for over 4 hours never once losing power. I understand that is not an apples-to-apples comparison, but it does show that if you elect to go with a power bank that has to drive a devices lacking their own battery, go with one that has an AC outlet.

@technologistonthego2377 I'd like AC output with pass-through so that i can still keep my Mini M4 on the go the different places without power-off and restart applications

Interesting point. I haven’t ever seen an indicator for an oil change on the Nissan Frontier other then this light, and on my wife’s 2005 Frontier we clear it out after an oil change; it remains off until another oil change is due. I have thought it odd that it is the same light for a check engine, but given the convoluted process to clear the light, I figured it was a nutty Nissan thing.

Yes, the Kodak brand on Temu is legit. The 128GB MicroSD card I purchased delivered on storage and V30 speed, which can handle 4k reads/writes.

I would gladly, but I no longer have the laptop.

@technologistonthego2377 okay but do you think they will work well on it?

Same for us ;)

Yes. The crosshair is not handled by the Xbox or any host operating system; it is done directly through the menu of the monitor itself irrespective of the video source. Just find the jog dial on the monitor, it will likely be on the back bottom right corner, under the gaming menu option you will find screen assist - that is how the manufacturer refers to the crosshair.

My main use for them has been in my Apple AirTag. That may not be the best gauge because it doesn’t really use a lot of the charge. I have found that the AirTag runs about four months before I need to swap it out. It’s decent enough battery charge duration with the bonus being that it’s rechargeable.

@@technologistonthego2377 Awesome! Thank you very much for the quick reply. that is exactly what I wanted to know. Great video. Take care and have a great day! :)

Well, Barrier does not run on Android. You can use Windows built-in app called Phone Link. That lets you copy/paste through the Remote Desktop it creates of the phone on the Windows PC. It will accomplish what you want , but it will come with all the extra overhead of linking your phone to windows. It’d be a whole lot easier if Barrier were successfully ported to Android.

@@technologistonthego2377 My friend, I literally said in my message, "Microsoft Phone Link clipboard sharing isn't compatible with Google phones. It's only compatible with Samsung and a few other cellphone brands", and your response is, "You can use Windows built-in app called Phone Link"??

As a point of order, you are absolutely correct. Functionally, it doesn’t matter whether you connect the HDMI cable to the video source first or second. I use this procedure frequently and can say I do it both ways. Is it working for you?

It most certainly does have crosshairs. In MSI parlance, it’s called “screen assistance” and is under the Gaming menu option.

@@technologistonthego2377 thank you but may i also ask how do i put in the crosshair on console with the same monitor is it possible?(im using a xbox series s)

Have you fixed the problem yet

I totally understand the sentiment.

You’re welcome

Negative. It may be the case for your computer, but my wife’s gaming rig did not pitch this air until after the CPU cooling system had been replaced. It was in our case, and that many others, a false positive CPU fan error. Prior to us replacing the CPU cooling system, the computer was simply running very hot from the outset at 90°C, and within minutes would approach 100°C at which point the motherboard with power off to prevent heat damage at no time to ever pitch a CP fan error. Go figure.

I agree. This is the way remote should’ve been from the outset, but unfortunately consumers did not agree. Maybe they wanted this smart functionality at the same price point as one of those throwaway universal remotes that requires the EU to manually cycle through dozens of 3-digit codes.

Very likely, you are actually have a CPU fan error. If your computer is a gaming rig, you will need to replace the CPU cooling system, which is not difficult. They run between $80 and $150. If it’s just a fan, that will run between $15 and $30. You can get the exact model number off the fan itself and then find an equivalent on Amazon. That one’s even easier to replace. All this does assume the computer is worth the additional investment.

I’m glad your laptop was able to power back up. I don’t know what it is about Lenovo laptops, but I’ve been coming across this with them more and more.

Gern geschehen!

Well, that is really a separate task altogether different from just getting Siri to listen. That’s it, I am able to do voice dictation into Notes.
