Misc: Navien NPE-240A Navilink App missing scheduling function

Image
NPE-240A Summary: Just had a new tankless water heater installed in my house to replace a failing 22 year-old 50 gallon tank.  Couldn't be happier w/ my new tankless, but was dealing with weirdness on the Navilink app to control/view my new Navien .  The app's scheduling function (for the recirculation pump) was missing. Solution: NR-20DU Disconnect NR-20DU remote controller. (if you want to schedule via App) *DIP Switches need to be set properly as well. In my case, w/ a bridge valve in my furthest faucet, is considered "External Recirculation". Check w/ your plumber for proper settings, they set mine properly. If you are in the Atlanta area, I highly recommend Plumbing Express LLC . Ask for Jonathan DeWeese. For reference only, these were set correctly by my plumber for my setup. DIP Switch 1 Off, 2 On.  (Internal Recirculation would be the opposite) Parameter 18 set to On (This is to enable Navilink ) These settings are detailed out in t

I thought because Sprint did not provide software to tether my blackberry to my mac, I would not be able to use it as a modem. Well, it's not exactly real easy like most things on the mac, but not terribly difficult either. What follows is instructions on how to make this happen w/ a Sprint Blackberry 8830.

Next, click the bluetooth icon. Now click the plus (+) button. A setup wizard should start. Follow the wizard's instructions to pair your phone.

Misc: Fire TV Stick 2 Screen Cut Off, no display adjustment option

Summary: Long story short, Fire TV Stick (2nd Generation) doesn't allow you to calibrate the screen, software wise, forcing you to use your TV settings (if available) to fit the screens content within it's borders.  Super annoying for some apps, but you can fix this dumb issue as I was able to. If your TV allows you to adjust its settings, then you'd be fine as well, but the Vizio I have, has no such setting. Solution: Get the Amazon Fire TV instead.  It's only slightly more expensive, but doesn't suffer the problems the Fire Stick does. Workaround: First you have to enable ADB debugging ( step 1 here ) on your fire stick. Next you'll need the ADB provided w/ Android Studio , or you can install w/ brew on the Mac . I prefer brew cause it's easier, keep following steps described by Amazon page if you are using Windows. Open Terminal brew cask install android-platform-tools Next find the IP address of your Firestick Settings --&
