mirroring pc to tv

I used to be able to mirror my Dell PC to my Samsung smart TV. Both were purchased since covid 19 isolation. What changed? Upgraded from Windows 10 to 11.  Verizon router upgraded and moved. 
(I am able to youtube cast from my phone.)

I tried on my own. I tried with support from PC Richards.  On windows win+p win+k mirroring, devices, network, wifi, bluetooth. This is just a blur of experiments.

samsung had me considering easy connect, but before I got there I realized  manual adjust tv inputs (sources) seems to be required now. There is an option Remote Access. From there Screen Sharing (Wireless), seems to be the option I want as I am not trying to hook a keyboard to my TV. Did not dig into Samsung DeX. Win+P > Mirroring; Win+K>"my TV"  and there was cheering.

Shortly there I paused my familytreewebinar so I could adult and found it disconnected.  It did not reconnect seamlessly. Turned off the TV and started again. Got connected again. My audio quality got poor and I got disconnected again. My theory is internet quality.

Other avenues
zoom is not on tv.
Mac - not tried
Samsung browser (pid?)
Phone - battery usage a concern and can't print agendas from

digitizing dad's slides and old home movies

Around Thanksgiving 2023 there was a slew of advertising for weeks. One of the things on TV was a discount for LegacyBox. I have an assortment of momentos from my folks and myself, that I have yet to make easily sharable or to help tell a story. (In addition I have been attempting to help my uncle organize his google pictures with tags and captions and share them. The multiple cloud issue is something I have yet to research.)  In googling LegacyBox I came across Everpresent in Highland Park, NJ. I like that I did not have to mail stuff. Everpresent I had a fine phone conversation with Hillary at Everpresent.com about my best guess about the slides and movies at dad's house. She sent me an estimate for smaller numbers and a bulk discount, USB.... During the conversation she mentioned that thier processing is done in Massachusetts and they have trucks pick up from partners and customers. They are accustomed to cleaning, scanning, adjusting....  Apparently I can get DVD/USB. They hav

Can of worms - one thing leading to so many others

Some genealogists have research plans and suggest writing notes to come back to distractions later. I can see where that makes sense with trying to finish off anything. Thomas McEntee, of genealogybargains and do over fame (these catch names span social media and help me find people again). described these as Bright Shiny Objects or BSOs. This tickled my fancy. I often chase them, as I do this for my amusement.The same group seems to also suggest setting down a regular scheduled time to research. Hah! This is not my job. Nor is it necessarily my life style. I like that I can sometimes go out and play on a nice day. Considering  organizing time and information is not limited to to my genealogy. You may have noticed Facebook posts on Bullet Journalling (#bujo). A friend helped guide me in finding a form which mimics some of what I have done. On Sunday nights, I tend to look at what is happening in the week ahead and what has to get done. I may do a revisit going into the weekend too. Thi

Transferring GEDCOM from familysearch to gramps - setup

 Back to that python script for exporting GEDCOM from familysearch mentioned in an earlier blog https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/GEDCOM GitHub Desktop After following a couple of links one sees it under source control with git. I have never used it with Windows before. https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git shows 3 options.  The last, desktop https://desktop.github.com/ , mentions CRLF handling and 64 bit installs. Run the GitHub Desktop installer. Approve permissions. log in. Bonus: my password manager even remembers my credentials from my last job. Luckily my personal email was in the list of for verification. Configure it for URL https://github.com/Linekio/getmyancestors and get errors. :( Failed to execute getStatus: ENOENT Git could not be found at the expected path: 'C:\Users\karen\AppData\Local\GitHubDesktop\app-2.6.3\resources\app\git\cmd\git.exe'. This might be a problem with how the application is packaged, so confirm this folder hasn't
