after casting put the channel back to where it was on TV?

I don't know if this idea is technically possible , but i regularly chromecast from my laptop to my TV from youtube and it has no problem changing over to the HDMI input to the chromecast at the back of the TV - but I think when you press 'stop casting' from the laptop then the TV should go back to what input (in my case the other HDMI socket) it was before it started chrome-casting.

ring notification volume through the alexa dot speaker

ring notification volume through the alexa dot speaker

I cannot decide whether this is a ring issue or alexa issue or an alexa skill issue but what seems to be a design/function issue is that if you have the alexa dot on low volume you cannot hear the notifications from the ring doorbell and the chime sound when someone presses the doorbell button .

I think it should be designed so that even if the volume is low on the alexa dot when someone presses the doorbell button it should over-ride the alexa volume to mid-way and so you can hear the doorbell ring

why when you send an invite for someone in your family to share your ring doorbell have they got to have the log in details of username and password to log in to use it? - seems silly, you are only sharing the doorbell footage and motion detected, now with the log in details they can change settings on your ring doorbell account if they want to

I have just set up a new facebook group and I thought I would make it private until I had finished setting up the group properly.
I set it up properly and then went to go change it to Public and was greeted with:
Your group isn't currently eligible to change to public

don't say I cannot change it to 'Public' until 28 days later or maybe not ever at all?

Hi there , we have a car where to get the headlight main beams to stay on we have to push the steering wheel lighting stalk switch and keep it held there or it will spring back to the centre position and turn off the main beam lights.
Until I can source a new switch I want to temporarily wire up a workaround and I was thinking of some kind of relay but I dont know if its a latching or non-latching one I should order i am thinking a latching one?

So, really what it would need to do it once it gets first pulse of +12v DC from the beam stalk it needs to latch and close the connection (continuity) of the +12v DC feed to the high beam bulb but if the stalk is push forward again I then want it to unlatch the relay and break the connection of the +12v DC feed to the high beam bulb if that makes sense.

here is a rough Diagram of what I think I need to do

Hi, I am not having much luck with getting all my posts showing up on one page (homepage) on wordpress free version. it still only displays 10 posts maximum on the page and then says

I have set the 'Readings' setting to this to show 30 posts on the page but it still only shows 10 posts and the reader has to select Next to go to the next 10 lots of posts.
