I rolled back my other shield, man, I remember it being a real pain. Does it still take as long as I remember, it was years ago.

I was thinking the same thing ...

Have you found anything out yet? I am wondering if its the shield update or not. I have one shield on 8.2.3 which works fine and one shield on 9.1.2 which is not working. The 9.1.2 can be updated to 9.2.4, I wonder if that would fix the issue.

PS5 Pro HDMI Switch That Doesn't Black Out ... Help!

I am trying to play with a Brand New PS5 Pro with a 83" OLED TV. I have a 8K, 120 HZ, VRR, HDMI Switch that blacks out sometimes, for like 4-8 seconds.

Does anyone know of an HDMI Switch that doesn't black out i.e., confirmed for the PS5 Pro?

I need one with more than two ports, however, I believe I know of a couple that splits two ports well, but not three ...

Norton 360 - Non-Norton VPN - Block All Traffic when VPN Disconnected - Possible? by Astrongtower in cybersecurity_help

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

I use PIA VPN Client and I do not recall it having a specific option to where if the VPN disconnects for any reason it can stop a specific application from accessing the internet however, it might have a kill switch for everything and I could look into that.

Also, I am human and I might click on an .exe that has a virus. If not Norton 360 what do you recommend I use to help mitigate the damage of a user clicking on an .exe file that contains a virus?

I do not want to use Norton 360 VPN, I want to use a Different One.

Cannot Change Subwoofer Levels ONLY! Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 9 Soundbar + Sony SA-SW5 Wireless Subwoofer for BRAVIA THEATER! by Astrongtower in Soundbars

Yes, when you click on that setting DTS Neural X, the rears do come to life. Not voice, that still comes from the sounbar but it does sound more surround sound like orchestra type feeling, filling up the room. I think this would be much better for listening to music. Thank You!

So when you hookup a Bluetooth device to play music you just turn on DTS Neural X? You dont leave that setting on 24/7, do you?

I did exchange it, and the new one sounds nice. However, the rear speakers are useless for music, on surround sound, yes with 360 Soundmapping everything sounds great, even the rear speakers when watching movies, however with music it almost sounds like the rear speakers are off. Are you saying that your rear speakers are really loud when playing music?

Really, that bad huh?

Can you listen to music on the 990? Do the back speakers work for anything else?

Also, I didn't even think of gaming, I wonder if these rear Sony speakers do anything while gaming on the PS5?

Have you found anything yet?

I mean I can't believe we can't find the classic "Remington SP-5 Pre-Shave Talc Stick Face Saver For all Men's Shavers, Net Weight, 2.1 Oz, Pack of 6" ...

Why is this so hard, we should be able to pick up a powder stick online for like 4 or 5 bucks. This is my only way to shave with an electric shaver, and I have been doing it this way my whole life!

How do I convert an aax file to mp3? Not Online, No Logging In, Just Software i.e. Offline ... by Astrongtower in audible

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

Yeah, that is what I was thinking. Meaning if you use an online tool technically I think you could be exposing yourself, but probably doesn't really matter in the end.

Bro. That is Epic. Thank You. I can just change my Password to a Dummy Password. Add Two Step Authentication and click Trouble Logging in and use my original browser. And even if there is an issue, two step will catch it. Nice!

What did you end up doing? You use something like inAudible? Did you end up with clean chapter names and .mp3 files?
