Fighting Notifications and Mailing Lists

 So far I've tried to unsubscribe from any unwanted update (in practise most of them are unwanted). After three months I only have to unsubscribe once or twice a week. Probably I'm having a windmill fight like Don Q.

Game: Age of Conquest IV - buggy

 Tried for three hours to attack with troops. No success. Conclusion: the game is a buggy waste of time.

MacOS: no USB connection to Rioch Theta 360-degree photos

 The Rioch Theta works with a Ext file system. You can mount it on Windows, but for some reason you're not allowed to do so on my MacOs.

  • OS: macOS 12.0.1 21A559 x86_64
  • Host: MacBookPro16,2
  • Kernel: 21.1.0
I asume that you have to add the ability to mount Ext drives on the MacOS somehow. Then it should be possible to use the device. If this is not an option add a virtual Linux to the Mac - and share the drives. In theory that is possible. 

(To be done ... wait and see ...)  


Concerning Linux

USB connection is OK on Ubuntu 21.10 x86_64

Concerning the Wifi Connection
  • Remove the USB Cable
  • The Wifi icon will appear as soon as you push the Bluetooth button
  • Now you can use the Theta app downloaded via Google Play
Since we can use the app the problem is sort of solved. At least if you posess a Linuxu system.
