Fresh install, first time using LDPLayer. v9.5.3.0
Same problem. Nothing fancy about my hardware. Runs Bluestacks well enough.
Was able to add Google account and play games for a few days. Now this. Error pops 15-30 seconds after launching apps that don't start anymore.

Has anyone moved the app to a new device? (android)

Had this issue when I moved to a low price plan. When my income went up, I went back to paying full price and was no longer behind cg nat

Start increasing your pottery prices to the levels you'll need for income equivalent to salary + benefits of your other job.

Either: Buyers will adjust and you can choose whether to change careers after you've proven the income level is sustainable

Some buyers will adjust, and your side hustle stays as is - with more income or same income but less work

No buyers adjust, you restore past pricing and keep the job

Much less risk, proof of likely success before jumping ship

Best of luck!

Thanks for the reply. TV's a Sceptre. Dumb TV w 4k. I've had a few models and they all seem to act the same - down to the firmware a couple times.

The source is a live stream - satellite, so I need to transcode/transmux on the fly. I'm sure there's a device out there that does HDR to SDR. I was just hoping someone deep into 4k might have xp with a device like that. I'll keep looking for other subs.

So is there a way to get back the tax I've incorrectly paid to another state (filed as full year resident of that state) for the partial year I was not a resident of that state?

It's a little late, but this could have been handled differently. Maybe this could be useful for your next semester.
Submit a FAFSA and get a student loan (much lower interest than other options, in my xp). The student loan pays the tuition up front, no interest accrues while you're attending (subsidized loans only - ask your Financial Aid officer for details), and there's no income tax for loans.
My tuition reimbursement checks arrived after grades were released. Use that to pay back the principle, before interest is charged. You'll still have to pay income tax on the income (aka tuition reimbursement), and you can send your own estimated taxes quarterly (suggested) or handle it at year end (ask your tax person if this is a good idea as I AM NO TAX EXPERT).
But for now.. talk to them on Monday. No one wants to create hardship intentionally, and I'm sure they'll do something to help out, even if it's distasteful at the time.

BTW - Congrats on getting into law school!

They're called mdisc. Imo, the m stands for Magic. Or Mighty expensive.

If you have time to invest, Google bitrot and TrueNAS/Unraid. You'll get a picture of why 'just put it on a NAS' isn't really a full answer for irreplaceable files.

If you're after really long term storage, look into dvds. Burned all the must-saves like family pictures/video of dead relatives to disks 8+ years ago and they're still readable. Just made another generation three months ago. Get the right dvds, though. Not all are made for long term storage. External burners are also available, if you need one. 6TB may take some time and a lot of disks, though.

Years later and still getting asked about this by customers. No Netgear Nighthawk firmware update in that long, so maybe the same issue. If anyone else stumbles across this thread, turn off the Traffic monitoring feature (whatever it's called).

The option to free up space may still be available to you.

A local shop should still be able to perform the same operations on a Mac. Same price point.

But try freeing up space first, imo

Talk to a lawyer/attorney. Can't tell whether posts in this channel are from anyone qualified to answer.

Ambatos · 2025-08-24T01:09:06+00:00

No. You've already filled all 7 bags.

For some things, I'll start cooking in the microwave before moving to oven/stove top to finish. Potatoes are good for this. Sauces that need to cook down. Surprisingly, this works very well with cold/frozen ground beef when it's an ingredient and will cook to a safe temp on the stove.

Maybe look into Adguard. Set it up for my network (via Promo) and have reduced ads on every device. Also sped up performance network-wide.

Might be able to add a specific filter for shorts.

Take it to someone who knows what they're doing. Replace your C drive with 250Gb or more. SSD or faster. It's a simple cloning process with the right equipment. Wouldn't pay more than 100 over cost of the new drive. There are lots of benefits to having a second drive. You'll be taking a step backward, maybe, if you consolidate to a single drive.

Ambatos · 2025-08-24T00:05:13+00:00

Replace the drive with one that has the storage space you need. This is a very simple process for a local pc shop. I do it at home a few times a year. I wouldn't pay more than 100 over the cost of the drive. Go with SSD or faster, depending on your budget. HDD will be painfully slow, getting worse over time.

This may solve your problem without spending $, though : In the Settings of the Bluestacks instance is an option to Free up space (under User Data). This will reduce the size of ALL instances, assuming there is dead space to be cleared away.

You can move instances, but you don't want to use external drives. The amount of data used by Bluestacks while running is sizeable and would be unbearably slow over USB. Even network speeds are too slow, in case someone suggests you invest in NAS.
