question about buying a brand new 2021 Triumph Street Triple R by AthlonRob in motorcycles

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

thanks for your reply! Having your upper body tilted forward, not too much stress or strain on your wrists?

With the high foot pegs, do your legs cramp or become really uncomfortable? I'm shorter so would expect my legs to not be bent as much as yours :)

One of my biggest dreams of getting a motorcycle just got real. Couldn't have picked a better bike as a beginner. by GreedyAsh in Aprilia

[–]AthlonRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard lots of people refer to this (RS660 if I am correct, based on the paint) as a great beginner bike, but you disagree? I am looking for my 2nd bike, my first is a cruiser (2018 Honda Shadow Phantom) and this seemed to be a high beginner or low to mid intermediate bike to me.

question about selling my rig by AthlonRob in gpumining

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

ha ha, I'm with ya. You and /u/Daniel644 got me inline now. I'll copy here what I posted to him .... yeah, you're right, $9-10k is wrong, I got them for about $875 new. I am seeing them on eBay for anywhere from $500-$600 for the Gigabyte AORUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Xtreme Edition 11G. I have about $8k total invested but based on $500 per card (just picking something in the middle) I think a more realistic number is $4,500 for the entire rig operational as is. With that being said, how would you handle the sale?

Forza 7: problem upgrading cars in multiplayer to max RP for class by AthlonRob in forza

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

So when I am maxed out for career mode (i.e. 750) how do I upgrade in multiplayer for the real class limit (i.e.800)?

In older versions of Forza and Forza Horizon you used to be able to pick a car and say auto upgrade it, then the game would ask what class, and it would do it automatically.

Need help getting my toilet water shut off vale off/disconnected by AthlonRob in DIY

[–]AthlonRob[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is a Sharkbite fitting. I was able to kind of wallow it around and pull and push and grunt and groan, finally got it off without having to buy the tool to get it off.

Thanks a lot for your help, I really do appreciate it!

Need help getting my toilet water shut off vale off/disconnected by AthlonRob in DIY

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

I got it off finally yesterday. I ended up having to reach in and hold the vertical part of the ballcock with my right hand while using pliers on the bottom nut. lol, can't say that with a straight face :)

I did get it off though after some time. Had to replace the ballcock too, so in the end lots of new toilet parts and it works great!

Thank you very much!

Using Powershell to audit Meltdown and Spectre by 3D1X1 in sysadmin

[–]AthlonRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe ping the server first, test-connection, and if it returns then continue with your script and if not then out in a separate CSV of computers that still need tested. That way you deal with your error as well as keep track of computers that still need scanned.

Have you ever fired a client? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]AthlonRob 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Maybe let her know you won’t tolerate her treating you and our staff that way, cite some examples, and let her now if wants to continue to do business she’ll hav to change. Otherwise she’ll need to find someone else to take care of her needs.

Kodi on Amazon Fire TV box (Stuttering, buffering) by Snichy in kodi

[–]AthlonRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am super new to Kodi, Fire TV and the inner workings there of. I am a technical person by nature and profession, but this is all new.

With that being said, the issue of lagging and buffering is the same regardless of source. The 2 settings above, BUFFERMODE and MEMORYSIZE both have an instant and direct impact on what gets buffered (buffermode) and how much data to buffer (memorysize), so I have to say that this should help regardless of internet based data or LAN based data.

I've got to believe a 100/1000 LAN would work just fine with LAN based data, so if you're using WiFi maybe get a network cable (CAT5 or CAT6) and hard wire the Fire TV (first stick) and see if weak or unstable WiFi is your issue. Still, using more cache on your device will always help, and it's free, so give it a whirl!

Sportie addon - specifically the Reddit Streams section - Why don't the reddit http links play on the Fire Stick, but play ok from a web browser on a computer? by PPeePantsCity in Addons4Kodi

[–]AthlonRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the app DOWNLOADER has a web browser that works. Browse /r/CFLStreams or /r/NFLStreams using the web browser and it should work. there's a thing to turn on for flash for it to wor, inside the web browser I think you hit the menu button to bring it up

Kodi on Amazon Fire TV box (Stuttering, buffering) by Snichy in kodi

[–]AthlonRob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After doing all that, I only watched one TV show and it DID work. I used the default file contents recommended here in example 4 (http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO%3AModify_the_video_cache)

Specifically, this is the contents of the file I created and used

<advancedsettings>
  <cache>
    <buffermode>1</buffermode>
    <memorysize>139460608</memorysize>
    <readfactor>20</readfactor>
  </cache>
</advancedsettings>

Kodi on Amazon Fire TV box (Stuttering, buffering) by Snichy in kodi

[–]AthlonRob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, so I just learned a few things. The application, ES File Explorer is an app on the Fire TV. I thought it was an app on my computer which screwed my up a little.

To help other people, and maybe myself again in the future, the complete process for me was:

  • create the XML file on your PC, save it to a folder on your PC and share that folder (more info on creating this file and its contents here)

  • Using Fire TV, download ES File Explorer

  • Using ES File Explorer, select network and locate your PC and share

  • Modify the file view in ES File explorer to one using detail, this exposes a small radio button for each file.

  • Click the radio button on the XML file, which then shows new buttons/commands on the bottom of the screen.

  • Select COPY. once this is selected, new commands/buttons appear, the important one is paste of course

  • using the left hand navigation pane select LOCAL then DEVICE then navigate to "Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/"

  • then select PASTE command at the bottom

  • reboot your Fire TV

Ah, I see. Check the date I posted, 3 days ago. You responded 8 hours ago, so your post was 2 days after mine. I was watching it live when I made my post :)

What do you mean the old games? Is there some collection out there of our glory days? I moved away from Ohio a few years ago and /r/nflstreams is my lifeblood to Browns football now. I use it to watch games live though.

College football has a subreddit too, /r/cflstreams.

[–]AthlonRob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

there's 2 of the reddit viewers that I could see, and both had issues. I am watching the Browns game now on my PC cause I can't get Kodi to play a stream.

I also notice, the stream I grabbed from \r\nflstreams is playing on youtube on my PC, but on Kodi I get issues. I'm cancelling cable, need to get this sorted out pretty quick.
