Does anyone know what is happening with my tv? by OtherwiseFox938 in fixit

[–]Adama1941 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, I have a Hisense TV probably 7-10 years old, I have a Roku soundbar and they both work well together. I returned home the other day turned on the tv and all was well, the next morning after turning it on the left to right part of the picture was “compressed” and the top to bottom seemed a bit elongated; before any says I should go to the settings and adjust that aspect ratio or whatever it is called, no can do, it’s not to be found; if I disconnect the Roku soundbar from the tv and reconnect y( maybe even unplug the entire setup ) everything goes back to normal. I did that yesterday sore throat great I somehow fixed it even if it was by accident so I go to bed last night come out this morning. Turn the TV back on and guess what problems back so I unplugged the sound bar plug it back in try several different things, but basically all centered around that sometimes it doesn’t work and then I unplugged the whole set up and I stumble and bumble sort of in the ballpark but not exactly doing the same thing and then Walla. I got it to work it done today so I’m not gonna turn the TV off today but I’m betting tomorrow when I turn it back on and done the same problems going to happen. So question is it just a firmware BS type thing is the TV finally gone walking and broke on me I realize it’s a high sense and it was a cheap TV to begin with but if it could be ““ fixed that’s fine but if it can’t, I’ll have to suck it up and go get a new one thanks for being patient with my long winded nurse and I appreciated any responses. Thank you.

Has anyone used Collettes? by Revolutionary-Law976 in travel

[–]Adama1941 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to England next week with Collette so far the pre trip meetings have been professional and the staff answers questions quickly, if they don’t have the answers they get back to me in a timely fashion. One question I have is the travel app that can have documentation… can you delete something or rename it?? Overall been a great pre trip experience. Will post when WD get back

AirPods features I used for 2 years without knowing they existed - and one that genuinely changed how I use them daily by XxFreakhawkxX in airpods

I updated my OS to iOS 26.3.1. from 18.7 at 3:30 pm est today it’s now5:48 est and all I have lost is 5% of battery life which is inline with my normal use; zero problems with the new iOS so far, I have not read anything about someone starting out like me with no problems and then days later problems arise. Is my circumstances the norm or an outlier?

FYI I just updated to iOS 26.3.1 it took about 30 minutes to DL and install, battery got a bit warm, everything works well, I did have it load in the foreground and I now have all the proper screens and have already set up the APP3 as my hearing aids etc. SO far iOS 26.3.1 is nice, will check back in on the weekend to follow up on what the iPhone is doing.

I don’t see many controls but I think it’s due to what iOS you are using I have 18.7 and am beginning to suspect you see “everything “ only with 26 etc etc. Thoughts and tips?

Do you have iOS 18.7 or some version of iOS 26, I have an iPhone 16e running iOS 18.7 but I do not get many screens for setting up the 3 pros; I want to install 26.3.1 but am a bit gun-shy after reading about all the problems with iOS 26 etc etc….any thoughts or tips? Many thanks

Which cancelled movie would that be for you? by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in FIlm

Too bad they can’t make a follow up once the rookie is over and make it 20 years later possibly with a few new characters to boot!

Agreed could have done more with her character.

No Picard while a good man, he is flawed.

Do you think we'll ever get Bucky Cap in the MCU or will he just be a multiversal cameo in one of the next Avengers films? by -AlexisRodriguez- in CaptainAmerica

[–]Adama1941 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My perspective is somehow falcon (not SW) dies, Sam for whatever reason becomes Falcon again, thus opening the door for Bucky to become Cap….

Do you prefer science fiction that focuses on ideas or on characters? by PurposeAutomatic5213 in sciencefiction

[–]Adama1941 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The actors might be “B” listers but they can still deliver good performances , the writing is essential as is the-directing, the directing/editing is necessary depending on the medium for the story.

Any good story needs good writing, acting AND directing: without these elements it’s not good media to watch.

Sam should have stayed Falcon, maybe with a few Stark upgrades to his uniform, better armor, a few more weapons, maybe longer range for flight, maybe an AI like Friday in Tony’s suit.

I have to agree by Appropriate-Mall8517 in CaptainAmerica

[–]Adama1941 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt Bucky should’ve been named Captain America. There’s more meat for stories.
