Remove ReCAPTCHA recaptcha__en.js from all pages except Contact Form 7

biddleUncategorizedLeave a Comment

If you are like me, you looked for a solution to remove the Google Recaptcha javascript from all pages except your pages that have Contact Form 7 forms. For SEO you don’t need reCAPTCHA to load on your home page unless you have a form there so you can use the following code in your functions.php to remove the recaptcha__en.js from all pages except those with ContactForm 7!

add_action('wp_print_scripts', function () { global $post; if ( is_a( $post, 'WP_Post' ) && !has_shortcode( $post->post_content, 'contact-form-7') ) { wp_dequeue_script( 'google-recaptcha' ); wp_dequeue_script( 'wpcf7-recaptcha' ); } });

If you want to hide the reCAPTCHA badge on your website use this code in your CSS:

.grecaptcha-badge { visibility: hidden;
}

To add a confirmation page to your contact form 7 page add those snippet code:

<script> document.addEventListener( 'wpcf7mailsent', function( event ) { location = '/thank-you/'; }, false ); </script>

LionChief App does not work on Android 11 crashes Bluetooth not connecting on versions 2.6.20 – 2.6.22 – 2.6.25

biddleUncategorizedLeave a Comment

If you are experiencing problems with connecting your Lionel O Scale train using the current version of Lionel’s Lionchief app 2.6.22 or 2.6.20, it does not work. They have been made aware of the problem via email and also months’ worth of negative reviews on the Google Play store. I’m not sure what the plan of action is to resolve it, if there even is one.

The only workaround is to uninstall the lionchief app and then download and install an older working version such as 2.5.05. You will need to allow app installations from unknown sources to do this and also disable auto-update for this app, or it will just update and install the broken version again.

You can also purchase a new universal remote if you do not have one. Use this Amazon.com Link to help support my blog and videos! I get a small commission and it doesn’t cost you an extra cent!

Update 12/12/2021: After 12 weeks of negative reviews, the app still does not work. Now there is a new problem that users are reporting that prevents the train from staying connected via Bluetooth. Your best option is to use the directions above and roll the app back to an older version.

Sengled Smart Bulbs Outage 11-2021

biddleUncategorizedLeave a Comment

If you are using the Sengled Smart Bulbs with the hub, they’ve had an outage for over 12 hours today that they notified users about via social media. This is a disturbing development knowing that our entire lighting system is codependent on Sengled USA.

Update December 2021- After some research, I discovered the cheesy Sengled hub can be replaced with a Samsung Smart Things hub, however, this is confusing because Samsung has quit making the v3 hub and handed it over to Aeotec Smart Hub. In short, they have taken over and it’s the same exact hub the equivalent to a Samsung Smart Things Hub v4. You can buy it on Amazon here- https://amzn.to/3rVpDGP

This is definitely your best course of action and will work with the Sengled Zigbee bulbs!

This Summer during my warranty issue, I discovered that the CEO Johnson Shen was no longer with the company via a phone call to the corporate office in Georgia. Also, the firmware on my bulbs has not been updated in years, making me wonder if they are not just riding the wave on old product development.

Currently, there are no updates or explanations of why the outage occurred as of 1:00 pm EST.

Here are some alternative smart bulbs- https://amzn.to/3qU3rfI

UPDATE: It’s 6am EST on 11/19/2021. Sengled never updated social media as promised, but my hub is working again. If yours is not, I suggest unplugging it to restart it. On a side note, I suggested they add a reboot feature to the app years ago, which makes good sense, and they never did it, so you will need to do a hard reset by unplugging it. If some of your bulbs do not work after the restart, you may need to flip the light switch on/off 5 times to restart them. Note, if you do it 10 times, it will reset the bulb and you will need to add it to your hub again.

My experience overall with the product is that it’s very quirky and unreliable. I am definitely moving away from Sengled products after this widespread outage today! Any recommendations? Comment below!

NBMiner 39.6 up to 90 MH/s on 3080Ti is closer to full unlock! 3060 3060Ti 3070ti

biddleUncategorizedLeave a Comment

NBminer released an update last night per my Reddit post. I ran overnight and got an extra 10 MH/s between my 3060 & 3080ti Founder’s edition and reports of 45.5 MH/s on 3060Ti. Users in the thread are reporting up to 90MH/s on the 3070Ti & 3080Ti! This is a definite improvement and one step closer to a full unlock. See my video below. Please comment below with your findings.

Here is a newer video to answer questions about voltage/overclock settings and also show how to set the RGB colors on the 3080TI

Don’t forget to check the boxes for voltage control so you can see your voltage and use the curve editor!

Note: Below is the first video I posted early this morning to let everyone know about the NBMiner 39.6 update. The video above has more information.

Update November 2021- My current OC settings in Afterburner are:

Core Clock +0 / Memory Clock +1350 / Voltage locked at 756mV using Curve Editor, Power Limit 79%, Fan 80%

Every card is different the main things you will need to adjust are the MC and Power/Voltage. I’m getting 91-92 MHs with these settings now!

Gmail Delivery delayed Remote Server returned: ‘421 4.7.0

biddleUncategorizedLeave a Comment

In July 2021 messages I sent to @gmail.com started being returned. It took a little troubleshooting but I realized my signature was causing the problem. Apparently, Google has started blocking all emails that use bit.ly short links. I removed “Twitter: https://bit.ly/TweetMikeBiddle LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/MikeBiddleLinkedIn” from my signature and immediately messages were delivered without any problems.

I’m not sure if this has been reported yet, but I hope this helps someone out there with the same issue! I first noticed Google was blocking bit.ly links on 7/10/2021.

Delivery has been delayed to these recipients:

Page actions are temporarily disabled- Google Webmaster Tools

When using Google’s Webmaster Tools for URL submission, you will now see a message that says Page actions are temporarily disabled and Indexing requests are currently suspended. This is temporary. Try back later or the next day. This started on October 15th 2020. One may assume this was being abused, which is why it was abruptly removed.
