Recently I bought a 2019 Nissan Sentra, it has Android Auto. I thought to myslef "Cool now I can plug in my cellphone and use the Google Assistant to talk to my can."
So I plug in my phone and start messing around with the settings on the app on my phone, the Android Auto app and the in dash display. 
BUT...
It does not appear to be working correctly. I know because I set up my friends 2020 Kia and her's worked perfect.
Well I messed around until I got frustrated and told my wife I need to have my friends help me set mine up. Something was most different an odd, it was not working.
So like all people today I Googled the issue.
Let's see..."Android Auto not working with my email"...legacy g-suite?
"Google Assistant not working with Legacy g-suite"

I started seeing some very sad returns. In my dismay I learned that Google/Gmail stopped support of the old FREE g-suite testers. If you were one you know what I mean.
Back in the day Google Rolled ut gmail, yep I was a Beta tester, then Google rolled out the FREE DOMAINE MAIL account. Yep i was a beta tester of that as well. Listen all that awesome freeness and I get to use gregory@tasana-studios.com of course I will test it. 
BUT...
Google went and saw how awesome it was and started charged a fee for NEW customers, at first us old testers were enjoying the same new candy, but then, no warning, no notice, some features were "paid account only, upgrade NOW!"

Google then stopped all support of the free now called Legacy G-Suite accounts. Yep we can enjoy our domain email accounts but that's about the limit of it, no Google Assist, no Android Auto, no Calender, no, no, no...

So I saw in some forums people resetting their cellphones and creating a free gmail account just to just Google Assist/Android Auto.

STOP!

DO NOT wipe you phone to do that. There is an easier way.
Leave your phone as it is, leave your old forgotten legacy G-Suite account on your phone as the main account. 

Did you know you can add as many email/gmail accounts to ONE phone as you want? I have 3 on mine.

Well I did have 2 now I have 3.
I created an all new email account, a gmail one, I added that account to my phone and then synced/mirrored my Lagacy G-Suite to it. 100% of everything on my Legacy account flows over to that gmail account and I still get all the perks of my Legacy G-Suite account. I turned off all notifications of the gmail account since it is just a mirror, but when I plug it into my car that gmail account takes over and Google Assistant/Android Auto work fine, so does my calender etc.

See since my Lagacy G-Suite account is synced/mirrored to my gmail account all my appointments, calender, everything flows into that gmail account. Now I never check that email, never use it, never access it, it is there to allow me to use Google Assist while enjoying all the benifits of my Legacy G-Suite account.

So in summary I only use the Lagacy G-Suite and use the gmail as a synced/mirror that allows me to use Google Assist and Android Auto with all the features of the calander, appointments, maps, and on and on. 

I will create another post as a step x step how to use both as one.

First I have 5 IT Certs and degrees and my son works for a large printer/business machine company.

Now...
The Epson XP-446 has to be the worst printer produced. I have done my best as a tech to work out the Gremlins and bugs, but IF I can get it to function correctly long enough to use up my ink, I will enjoy destroying this most frustrating machine.

CONS: The first think a user will notice is the lines in color printing, I did all the task required to remove them and ran print head alignment. If the printer is left unused for several days the print head alignment must be ran before use. Changing ink and with some different types of paper.
Epson prided itself of its cheap ink, however running print head alignment uses a lot of ink and I have already change the cartridges twice and printed very little.

Its paper feed is a terrible mess.  I attempted to print on 5x7  matte foto paper, EVERY sheet was a jam, Insert about 10, jam, one at a time, jam, manually separate the paper, jam. Using 5x7 foto paper the printer jammed 100% of the time. And Yes Epson I did set the printer up for printing in 5x7 and use the paper alignment gauge. 

The low cost of the Epson is a grab, the high cost of frustration and ink is robbery. Avoid this printer at all COST, it's too costly.

Before the mobile age, there were desktops and laptops, you ran Windows or Apple and the geeks played with Linux. Then it happened, the enlightenment of a mobile OS. Google beget Android and Android beget Samsung, then Microsoft Beget the first Windows fone and it died, then Apple beget their first fone and they sued Android , keep in mind Android was out of the gate first.

With all this begetting it was hoped among us users that the 3 giants that somehow an agreement would be reached to play nice and share across platforms, and for a short time in 2019 that appeared to be the case. At the end of 2018 and start of 2019 it really looked like a peace and secure cyberworld.

THEN....Apple announced...they dropped all their lawsuits against Samsung/Android, wait what? In one case settling for a few dollars? Why? Then Apple announced they were dropping iTunes, and and and...adding features that surely look a lot like...Android. Yes Apple was adopting many Android ideas and features, can't sue them if you are going to look like them.

Then Microsoft announces changes to its Windows 10 OS? What? Wait Microsoft you said Windows 10 was the last. Yes it is the last but...we are going to make a few changes so it works across platform. There will be features like,...cough cough Android.

So there it is. Apple and Microsoft are now in a race to catch up to Android in some areas.

Here is my prediction for 2020. There are very few new converts out there for Microsoft, Apple and Android to try and win over, therefore they have to focus on keeping their own flock from converting.  How can they do that? 
Total platform control of the family

1) Fone
2) TV
3) Tablet
4) Laptop
5) Computer
6) Smart-home system
7) Car
etc
all either Android, Windows or Apple.

Mom and dad will use either ALL Apple, Android or Windows and raise their kids as such, being true believers in their OS-Religion. Their kids will raise their kids in the same OS- Religion. And so it goes.

Microsoft plans on a new Windows Fone, and is currently making their OS far more cross platform user friendly, like Android as is Apple.

For the car, GM, Ford, and all others will have to stop one sided contracts, such as "JUST APPLE" in a car or "JUST GOOGLE". Instead at the time of purchase a "family" will tell the dealer their OS-Religious choice and then the car will be flashed to that OS.

Homes will be likewise.

The 3 different OS's will in the end become the only options, and it is my prediction that the  three will see the value in ensuring every digital device a family uses has their OS on it and that family is raised in that OS-Religion so it can be passed on to their kids. There is simply no new blood left, focus will be turned inward.

Will bridges be built between the OS's. At first I think there will be talk between Microsoft, Apple and Android. Yeah let's do this or that to make it easier for the user. But then one will speak up and say, "if we build bridges our user may just cross over to the other side."
"Let's burn the bridge."

In the end, no cross platform, no bridges, no peace and cyber security just 3 divided OS-Religions. 

Remember the day you brought home your Retail copy of Microsoft Office 2007, 2010 or 2013? You were excited and quickly opened the box and installed it right away. After a few computer upgrades the install process got a bit boring, but when you tried to install it on your latest rig you got this message.

"Your copy of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 cannot be activated because the specified Product Key has already been activated the maximum number of times for your software license"

Place your version of Office in the product tag. So what is going on? Microsoft is intentionally  not allowing buyers who legally bought a multi hundred dollar program activate it anymore. Microsoft has created a "activation kill" switch on all non 365 versions. It appears like me many were continuing to use their 2007-2013 versions and were happy to do so.

But Microsoft was not happy, they are losing money, their solution, an activation kill switch. Yes Microsoft is NOW STEALING copies of Office, your copy. In effect Microsoft is now stealing Office from buyers to force them to buy the 365 version. What did Microsoft do to ones who stole copies? Here is the thing, Microsoft "upgrade" it's license agreement without telling buyers then used the activation kill switch.

So what can Office Users do?

1) Abide by Microsoft and buy their latest version of Office 365, of course it's a forever monthly payment.

2) Buy Corel Wordperfect >https://www.wordperfect.com/en/< It's not like Microsoft Office and I'm used to that. Yes but at some point you did not know how to use Office and you learned. Wordperfect will open ALL DOCX and other Office files. Also WordPerfect does not have an activation kill switch. Just ensure you are connected to the Internet when Installing AND Uninstalling. It is important to be connected when uninstalling. If the current version is too much to pay then use eBay to find older versions at a reduced cost, install and use the upgrade route it is much cheaper. Just ensure you purchase a brand new older version off eBay.

3)  Download and use Open Office. Open Office is 100% free and has the same features as Microsoft Office and will open DOCX files and all other Microsoft Office Files. Open Office is safe, always free and will give free updates forever. You will never get an activation kill switch or be asked to pay.

The end point is Microsoft is killing programs that buyers spent hundreds on and forcing buyers to pay monthly forever, they are about to start the same approach with Windows 10. If Microsoft is going to charge a monthly fee for Office, Windows and all their products a user will end up paying nearly $50 a month to Microsoft to turn on their own computer.
It is time to break free of Microsoft, they give enough to get users hooked then force users to pay.

​Remember at some point you had to get used to how Office worked, you can adjust to another type of program.

I had posted earlier the facts regarding the John Denver rumor about JD asking JW's to leave his concerts, but I had left out some important information. As part of the story people add that JD appeared on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and Carson asked about it and then asked JD to stand and leave. This part is also false. There is a searchable database of every Carson Tonight Show by subject and word
https://www.johnnycarson.com/
On this site you can search the contents of every episode. It appears John Denver appeared on the show 8 times. Consider would Carson have asked JD to stand and leave and then JD come back time after time? You can watch JD on Carson on YouTube.

So if you are one that continues to spread the false rumor about John Denver use this self-check list.

Ask Yourself

1) Was I present at any concert of John Denver's where he supposedly said this?
2) Do I personally know 2 eye witnesses that were present at a concert where JD supposedly have said this?
3) Have I seen actual un-altered video footage of a concert or Carson show where this was supposed to have occurred?

You have answered NO to all 3 questions, now ask yourself
Why am I spreading an unfounded rumor that I have no facts about?
Then consider the impact it has on you being truthful, trustworthy and a reliable source of information.
