Hi all, my mother got a tablet (Samsung) for Xmas. I have tried hotspotting internet on it from her mobile phone (Samsung Galaxy A10 bought June 2020) but although she has 4G on her phone, the tablet keeps saying that there is no internet connection despite being connected (indicated by a connection symbol with an exclamation mark beside it). However, I have successfully hotspotted on the tablet from my own phone (Redmi). We are both on the same Network and she can use her internet on her phone without any problems.
Has anyone any idea why this is? What can I do to get around this or will I have to get a SIM for the tablet (luckily the tablet will take a SIM)

Have you tried jamming your thumb up her arse and vice versa?

Joking aside, could be with her phone provider/contract. If limited data, think some prevent hotspotting but can be changed with a call to the provider/upgraded data plan

She might need to turn off wifi to enable the hotspot.

What the fuck is going on at google

Our CI/CD pipeline for GCP broke today - they’ve released a public centos image without NTP and broken YUM repositories

I found myself nodding my head in agreement there

Pleased I figured this one out. The iPhone was becoming difficult to charge. Figured it was lint in the socket. But didn’t want to scratch it out with a needle and possibly damage the socket without a back up. So I bought a chargepad. Grand plugged it in put the phone on it. The charge indicator comes on but the phone is not charging. In fact it’s going backwards. Did a bit of digging on line and it transpired that the bog standard Apple plug that I plugged the usb into is a 1 amp plug and won’t give enough power to have a charge pad charge a phone. So I rooted around and found a 2 amp plug which worked.

Then I cleaned a mountain of lint out of the socket and that works now too. :+1::+1:

Question for the parents out there,does anybody have any recommendations for an app to control the wifi for the kids tablets etc. I sick of asking them to turn of these things and it would be handier if I could do it with my phone.

Screentime app. Have to downloaded but not setup yet.
