TURNING ON ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT FOR WINDOWS 10

Well it may become handy to activate the Administrator account on Windows 10 at some point in time. Being that the account is not on by default (even when it says your administrator, you're not). You have to turn it on at the command line level.

Turn on administrator account
Right click windows logo and run PowerShell as administrator
Type: net user administrator /active:yes

Turn off administrator account
Right click windows logo and run PowerShell as administrator
net user administrator /active:no

Moka Pot 2 Months Later

Image
The lid on my inexpensive Moka pot does not fit perfectly, so I get splatter. I do love this thing however, I did not know how good coffee could be at home until I got one. It's made by Zulay and was about $25. I'm expecting it will last me a year or a bit more then it will die. It's 2 months old and there is a bit of discoloration that looks like some kind of rust in the bottom of it already. It's very highly rated, but that rust is bothering me. I do take care of it and when it is cooled down I take it apart and clean it and dry it properly, so no idea why it's doing this. Also being it's a pressure vestal, it's a bit worrying to see rust. Kind of don't want boiling hot water shooting out a hole in the side on me any time soon. But it does make awesome coffee.

2 Annoying Bugs on My Samsung A50

Image
This is Samsung Gallery on my A50. There are two glairing bugs since the phone upgraded to Android 11, and UI 3, and all the native apps updated. First is not evident from the screencap - It does not always show all the images on the phone but sometimes does. At times it only shows those in the camera folder on the SD card, other folders are random if they show up. It has a very big problem not showing Instagram photos all the time. The other thing is, I thought it was corrupting photos, but it's not. There is a long time bug with Android phones where old deleted photos will come back to life. Well it's doing that with photos that are old enough after being deleted, they are no longer valid image files. It's rather annoying . The other thing it's been doing since update has nothing to do with the photos, but the spellchecker. As you can see, it things a word that is spelled correct is wrong. It's not always auto-correcting words it used to. It also seems to think wo

4 Beers from District Brewing Co. Rated

Image
The Pilsner was a good crisp drink. It's average for a Pilsner made in Canada. It's better than a lot of them in it's price range. I'm giving it a 6/10 for price and quality. It's light alright, a bit too light. But it's not bad and a good drink on a hot day I'm sure. It went well with some YouTube videos and a bit of music. I'm giving it a 6/10 for price and quality. To be honest I have extremely low expectations from a Wheat Lager. This however did not make me wonder why the hell I'm bothering to drink it. It was as enjoyable a Wheat Lager as I've ever had, that being said, I still don't love them. 5/10 for Price and quality. Note: this is the first Wheat beer that got over a 2 in my mind. The Lemon Ginger Radler rocked. This is a heck of a tasty thing to put in your mouth. I'm certain after a long hot day, this would be the thing to drink. I can imagine being by the fire at night and having a few of these with friends. I'm giving i

Make Your Samsung Phone Upload Photos to OneDrive

Image
A while back Samsung stopped syncing several things to it's cloud. Among this was photos, videos and music. If your phone was not programmed after the cut off date, then it will still be linked to your OneDrive account if you added it to the list in your Samsung account. It did this automatically when the time to switch came about. However, it really does not work at all. I've tried a lot of the tricks I've found to get it to actually upload my photos to the Samsung folder on OneDrive and it just won't do it. Here's how to fix it. Hit settings. Search "Linked Accounts" and when it comes up under the heading "Samsung Account", tap on it. At the bottle is the linked account with the Samsung logo and the Microsoft logo. Tap it. Tap unlink and say yes. Restart your phone. Open one drive and tap the person icon in the lower right corner. Tap settings. Tap Camera Upload. Tap camera upload account. Tap your account (should be the only one). Tap the slid

A BIT OF PHOTO FUN AND SOME POSITIVE VIBES

Image
It's been of them really great days and I decided to have some fun and post it just for the heck of it. The sun almost came out and I had a blast playing puzzles. I got into several episodes of Bojack Horsman and just had fun texting with a couple friends. The pain was to this point low, then I sneezed and my back hurts now. But I'll still be smiling when I go to bed tonight. Enjoy life when you can. It can be a drag at times and crushing at times, but the moments you are enjoying it, make the most of it. Always just be you and don't let the world get you down. Love and happiness to you always - Dave.
