How to format text on the new facebook 2020

Before I was forced into the new Facebook layout in 2020, I used to be able to make some formatted posts by simply copying some text like Bold text, links with their own title etc.

But now we are forced into the new Layout, and I can't just simply cut and paste formatted text into the new layout.

To get around this, the new Facebook layout in 2020 allows you to use Markdown.

To add formatting with Markdown to a post:

Format	Action
Bold	**text**
Italics	*text*
List	- item
Link	[title](https://facebook.com)
Numbered list	1. first item
Quote	> quote
H1	# Heading
H2	## Heading
Inline code	`code` // your code here

This might take a little bit of getting used to, but now I can continue to have posts with my own style of formatting.

How to fix the Garmin vívofit jr 2 sync

I recently bought two garmin vívofit JR 2 watches, the first one was set up correctly, but then the second one had some issues as I selected "pair new device" instead of adding a new child account.

Who knew there was a difference, but what happened next introduced me to a world of sync pain.

I eventually got 1 Garmin watch synced correctly. But the second watch had all sorts of issues.

The main problem that would occur is :

If I go into Device Settings is says : "There is no device set up for this child"

I press and hold the button to sync, then the watch displays the number (my number), and the app says sound (my number)

I click "yes"

It goes "Connecting"

But then it fails

"Kid Band Disconnected" 

"It looks like the band disconnected. Make sure the band is in range and show the sync icon."

So now, I cannot set up the second Account.

Everything I do, when the phone tries to connect, it times out with that "Kid Band Disconnected"  error.

So what did I try :

I found a way to hard reset the watch :

Hold the button, going to the Info (i) screen, hold for 10 seconds till the "nv rst" message appears.

A big triangle appears, and then the wifi looking icon appears with my number, and try to sync with the phone

This didn't work, same problem with the sync as it wouldn't connect and time out.

Next thing I tried was deleting the app, installing it again and trying it once more.

Still the same problem.

I was going to try to contact Garmin support, but it was after hours and I was about to pull my hair out until.....

On my phone, I went to Bluetooth.

Then looked for "Paired Devices"

I saw "vivofit jr. 2" listed there.

Click the setting icon.

click "Unpair"

Now I went back into the vivofit jr. app again, and now it finally connected.

So the solution to the problem with the Garmin vivofit Jr 2 not connecting /. syncing.

Just unpair the Bluetooth connection from your phone and try again.

Hopefully this helps somebody else out there, as this is a couple of hours I am never going to get back...

[SOLVED] Unable to connect to Synology Shared folders

Problem : Multiple Windows 10 machines can connect to the Synology shared folders, but one machine wouldn't.

I had 1 machine that couldn't connect to my Sunology NAS shared folders.

Under Windows File Explorer, then checking on "Network", I could see the synology but I couldn't connect to it.

I went down the following rabbit hole trying to find a solution

• synology diskstation is not accessible you might not have permission "the network is not present or not started"
• windows 10 unable to turn on file and printer sharing
• windows 10 workstation error 1075 
• windows 10 cannot connect to network drive
• Cannot start the Computer Browser and Workstation services

This takes you down a bad google rabbit hole, with solutions on registry edit, downloading 3rd party tools, re-installing network drivers etc.. Heck some website "experts" just tell you to re-install windows.

Several hours later, you want to pull out your hair.

At the end of the day the solution is to do with SMB, and I didn't have the feature installed.

Solution :

---

To enable SMB2 on Windows 10, you need to press the Windows Key + S and start typing and click on Turn Windows features on or off. You can also search the same phrase in Start, Settings.

Now scroll down till you see :
[    ] SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support
[    ] SMB Direct

Select those two options, let windows install the files, and then reboot.
Thanks to : Your System Requires SMB2 or Higher Error on Windows 10
