Nexus 7 Not Appearing Over the USB

    This should have been a easy setup but since I ran into a few problems that weren't simple nor obvious I thought I would share and record my notes. For much of my android development I use the ADT Bungle for Windows, I have the Android Studio Development but just playing out with it. Regardless the problem with my setup was my Nexus 7 not appearing. At this point I had already gotten the debugger mode enabled and the usb connected but still 'adb' is not seeing my device.
     Simply put the Nexus 7 by default (for me at least) was set to MTP and if you can see the connection mode notification can change it from there to PTP. The notification for me appeared briefly, so what I did was have the notification bar open as I plugged in my nexus.

Notification will appear below USB debug

Unchecked MTP and Check PTP

The first link you below holds the location where to install drivers for your windows setup which you might need to know for when you switch from MTP to PTP, but the last link is the most important. The two others are just a little reminder with how to find devices or make sure everything is working properly. Side note if you want to take a picture of your screen on any Android (4.0 and up) just press the power and volume down button at the same time.

Mongodb Cheatsheet

This cheat sheet is based on the latest version of mongodb, which initial had setup and didn't encounter any problems. However that all changed when I was working remote and forgot I disabled the port no my network, rather than with the server. So I went pointing around where I didn't need to and ended up messing things up. The Best tutorial out there is of course on digital ocean for my setup on ubuntu 16.04 , this articles isn't so much about getting setup. I just wanted to include it because I found myself looking back at it to see if I missed a step. Bugs/Problems Now comes all the messed up things I found and had to deal with. firewall - Port seems to be open, but connection refused try using 0.0.0.0 in the bin_ip for the /etc/mongo.conf try sudo ufw disable and check to see if it works without the firewall (probably still wont but worth a shot), then just sudo ufw enable. Make sure port 27017 is open. Then check this  linux - Connection refused to MongoDB e...

Installing Windows on Acer chromebook 15 cb3-532

Much of my notes are just small problems I faced (what's new!) haha. Either way this was a really fun project to do for a friend and I got excited once I research all the information. You can find instruction videos but what helped me the most was the coolstar website. Sadly they don't have parameters in the url so I can link the machine I used in this article. -  https://coolstar.org/chromebook/windows-install.html Scared of messing with the bios? Don't be!    So you need to first remove the screw to put a legacy bios on the machine. Its easy to backup the chrome os one and with the same steps to change it. You can go back in and revert to the chrome version bios. Its that last part that had me worried and its very easy to do.  Problems getting into Developer Mode?   Follow the instructions to the letter, during the step to disable the OS verification, press Ctrl-D to boot into os. If you hear two beeps I would go back to set one. I got in a loo...
