How To insert a SIM Card on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 GT-P3100

To insert the SIM Card, locate the SIM card slot on the left-hand-side of the device. There is a cover on the SIM card slot that you need to open before you’re able to insert the SIM card. Use the tiny gap between the cover and the edge of slot compartment to pull out the cover with your finger nail.

Then, with gold-coloured contacts of your SIM card facing downwards, just push it into the slot until it reaches the end. It should make a click sound when fully inserted. Remember to position the cut-edge of the SIM card exactly like it’s shown in the picture. NOTE that after you've inserted the SIM, the device has to be rebooted (same when it's taken out).

Based on experience, I DO NOT recommend using a plastic  adapter to make an iPhone micro SIM larger as this may jam in the SIM card bay possibly requiring disassembly to remove.

How to retain your GUI settings in Kodi

When you restore Kodi or copy your existing Kodi userdata folder to another device it will always default the guisettings.xml, always. Even if you drop your previous settings into Kodi via a network folder, it will still reload it to default upon restart. This is because the guisettings.xml can't be written into the userdata folder when Kodi is running. To prevent this from happening, overwrite the guisettings.xml with SSH using two programs. One to stop and start the Kodi process and one to copy over the backed up guisettings.xml file that contains all your GUI goodness.

How to check what entities are filling up your Home Assistant database

If you use the Home Assistant MariaDB add-on, this tip will show you how to query the database so see what Home Assistant entity states are triggering the most, filling up your database. What were going to do: Install the phMyAdmin add-on for MariaDB. Query the MariaDB database. See what entity state changes have the most action. Paste the code below into the SQL query box:  select entity_id,count( * ) from states group by entity_id order by count ( * ) desc; And if you're using the internal home-assistant_v2.db instead, you can use the SQLite Web add-on to achieve the same thing.
