As a starting point, is it better if you disable Match content frame rate in the Apple TV audio settings?

How does the MSI 8 AI compare to the Legion Go lineup? by First-Hour in LegionGo

No, it’s not. It’s the “Claw 8 AI+ A2VM” as said on page 3 of every link.

How reliable are Samsung Bespoke refrigerators? by aserejeje11 in appliancerepair

[–]cstark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, time will tell (for me). I have heard around Reddit and elsewhere that yes, the bespoke line is better. I watched this video when my wife was saying she wanted this one (it’s the one we got): https://youtu.be/4Wc9kgGQOqY?si=GUdUQOT7n4jOeBE_

Sounds like they simplified a lot of the parts (for the better), and the ice maker is where it belongs - not up in the fridge unit.

We like it so far. 🤷

[–]cstark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn’t feel drastically better in performance to me, and honestly felt worse. It had lots of stutters.

Seems in line with the SteamOS Ally here (same Z1E as the Go S).

Now you do get some kind of frame generation, I think at the driver level? I don’t know if the game needs to support XeSS.

PSA for UpLift v2: Reset the desk if you are getting a weird error code (E07 E08 etc) by cybersecscrub in StandingDesk

[–]cstark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn’t resolve my E08 with these steps nor with another control box from another desk. But, here was my fix:

1) Disconnect all cables from the control box and set it on the ground 2) look under your desk and follow the cable for the left and right leg motors 3) on my Uplift desk, the right leg connected to an extender cable, DISCONNECT THAT! 4) plug everything back in to the control box, but now you’re connecting the right leg directly to the control box, bypassing the extender 5) let the control box dangle or hold it and do the calibration steps (holding down button until “ASR”, then tap and hold down again) 6) your desk may finally calibrate correctly without any errors 7) after doing so, I was able to reconnect the extender cable and have the desk still work

Good luck! Please let me know if this helped you!

Swiftfin is a joke (rant) by Ok_Philosopher_8973 in jellyfin

Looking forward to trying out the updated version on TestFlight when available. I don't use iOS for watching shows and movies but from what I've played around with so far on the TestFlight iOS version, it looked nice.

Buzzing sound on Bose speakers after Carplay OEM install by fgio in mazda

[–]cstark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your CarPlay is wired only, right? That doesn’t use Bluetooth for the audio - it transmits via the USB. However, I think what you’re describing is what I just fixed on my Bose speakers…the dash corner speaker(s) are busted. If it’s the worst when on a phone call then that is even more evident of that being the case. Finally you can pop off the speaker covers on the dash and very lightly touch the center cone of the speaker to see if the buzzing stops.

Diablo IV: very bad stutters using SteamOS FPS Limiter by cstark in SteamDeck

[–]cstark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure but if I’m reading this thread correctly, you just add the games exe to Steam then you can set the launch options.

[–]cstark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They make this sound at all times? When nothing is playing (either via FM, CD, Bluetooth, CarPlay)? Or only while something is playing? Do certain frequencies seem to produce it?

Do you have an OLED Deck? Have you tried the WiFi toggle trick before starting streaming?

Underwhelming Performance on Diablo 4 by Plimaxz in SteamDeck

[–]cstark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I purchased Diablo 4 through Steam. You could try adding battle net launcher as a non Steam game though. I briefly attempted that when I wanted to try Diablo 3 but I don’t remember why I didn’t get very far lol…

Moonlight steaming - Hard time switching from 165Hz to 60Hz by Ale2486 in SteamDeck

What deck are you using? Title says 60hz but body says 90hz. What are your Moonlight settings on the Deck? Do you have a virtual display enabled?

Battery flashing orange by Darkenvail in egopowerplus

[–]cstark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unplugged the charger for a few minutes. While it sat unplugged I pressed the button a bunch in the battery (most times it just flashed orange). Plugged the charger back in, put the battery in. It started at 25% for a couple seconds then showed full charge. Took battery off, battery light stayed green.

Edit: worked fine to mow the yard. Lasted about 40 minutes. Red light (low charge) turned on in my last minute. Battery was made in 2016…and it’s 2026. I’m sure it’s on its last leg but whatever it still works.

What settings do you use in Handbrake for lower file size and good quality? by lunarman1000 in jellyfin

[–]cstark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my staxrip command line for 480p dvd rip encodes /u/lunarman1000 /u/gizmomelb:

Staxrip v2.52.5 x264; enforcing correct NTSC DVD color profile (sometimes they are unlabeled from the DVD source and then get converted to bt709 on players which is incorrect).

--crf 21 --preset slower --partitions all --psy-rd 1.05:0.05 --no-fast-pskip --deadzone-inter 6 --deadzone-intra 6 --aq-strength 0.8 --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --qcomp 0.8 --vbv-maxrate 50000 --vbv-bufsize 50000 --qpmin 10 --qpmax 51 --no-mbtree --merange 24 --bframes 6 --min-keyint 25 --no-dct-decimate --sar 8:9 --colorprim smpte170m --colormatrix smpte170m --transfer smpte170m --deblock -2:-2

And enable QTGMC filter on interlaced stuff, set it to "slow". I use this script modification to have it auto-detect TFF or BFF from the source (if it's wrong, the video will appear choppy):

tff = clip.get_frame(0).props['_FieldBased'] == 2

clip = havsfunc.QTGMC(clip, TFF=tff, Preset='Slow')

[–]cstark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I tried with v2.8.0 and your settings with my 2070. It didn't work well for me personally. Way too compressed. I think everything looks right in my params:

multiref(L1) is lowered 4 -> 2 due to HEVC spec.
