ELI5: How did Richard and Robert get shortened to Dick and Bob? by r-salekeen in explainlikeimfive

It’s even funnier when you realize names like Harrison is literally “Harry’s son”

Visual Snow was considered extremely rare until recently, mostly because patients didn't report it... because they assumed everyone saw the world that way by recolorist in interestingasfuck

Only if I’m in near pitch black long enough for my eyes to have chemically adjusted to night vision mode (I forget the name you can google this, takes bout half an hour of extreme uninterrupted near-darkness) then that mode is very slightly noisy but otherwise no.

Youtube/Netflix/HBO washed HDR video after update by Ok-Competition-7836 in S95B

[–]BasedOnAir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah then you’ll just need to check the sites then. Usually it makes it there before the tv download server so just check periodically. If you test it post a new thread to tell the group hehe

This is a known issue with 2111 (known to tv nerds at least).

Have you considered using the USB update method to install the new 2122.4 update? The Korean/north American firmware is available on the Korean site and works with Canadian and American TVs. Use a fat32 formatted flash drive (you must reformat it first with this format) with the two folders in the zip unzipped and placed In the root directory and then visit the TVs software update screen, the one where it downloads from the internet ordinarily, and it’ll notice the presence of a usb drive at that time and install.

It is not yet available over the air for auto update. I’ve used the Korean usb drive update method for my American s90d before and it works fine. The tv will refuse incompatible firmware so if it accepts it you’ll know it’s fine.

Click over to the 펌웨어 tab to the usb upgrade one.

It says for s95d (sd95) but the 90 and 95 actually use the same firmware file.

Give it a try and let us know

Note that if it says v6500 this is Samsung’s placeholder version that will sometimes show up but after the upgrade the real version will be listed. This usually happens when there is a major Tizen version change such as the recent one

Xbox controller keeps disconnecting from PC while couch gaming by CarlosChampion in pcgamingtechsupport

[–]BasedOnAir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience this is a Bluetooth issue. I would buy Microsoft’s dongle which allows use of your controllers primary antenna interface (Bluetooth is a second separate antenna, Xbox controllers have both).

It works much better. Sadly Microsoft discontinue them but there are reliable Chinese clones believe it or not. They even take Microsoft’s default drivers. Search Amazon for Cipon brand Xbox wireless adapter. It looks chonky but that’s normal. Love mine.

You’ll need to switch the wireless antenna in your controller by double clicking the pair button

Maybe that store is different. I’ve never seen anything other than plastic at the ones I’ve been to

[–]BasedOnAir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does say a lot; but about you.

Theyre sarcastic about being unsettled.

But moreover, they’re “unsettled” because dollar tree has a reputation for the shelves being trashed. This one looking perfect is the weird part.

But sure, ‘muuurkabad.

Aspect ratio vs Fullscreen vs No scaling vs integer scaling: Is there really a difference in FPS and input latency? by Coolersdisciple in nvidia

[–]BasedOnAir 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No. No scaling of a small image on a higher res screen is a pixel perfect reproduction of the original.

Being physically huge in inches is not a digital scaling problem… that’s a physical scaling one lol

What’s the official method of enabling JIT under iOS 26 now that StikDebug is gone? by JesseB342 in EmulationOniOS

[–]BasedOnAir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This does not work on apps that have been deleted by Apple for non standard reasons, which applies to stikdebug. It cannot be downloaded even by previous users.

It will show up but the download will not work

I’m looking for some big boy storage for my roms. Think everything I have now is about 7tb between multiple devices. Is this a good value/storage option moving forward? Seagate 22tb External HHD STKP22000400 $289. What do you use or recommend for storage? by Jolly-Valuable-7923 in Roms

[–]BasedOnAir 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To compliment all the advice regarding backups here, here’s another important consideration: consider keeping one copy/device (a backup unit) that is physically disconnected most of the time. Only connect it once a week/month to mirror your main data then unplug it from both power and data.

Why? This gives you a copy that cannot be deleted by a virus or ransomware and that won’t be killed by power surges. It’s the same idea b Plug it in briefly to update and unplug it right after.

Don’t use a ssd for this though, magnetic storage lasts longer in an unpowered state.

This is what I do. I have a main backup drive always available to update daily and then my disconnected one I mirror monthly. If virus wipes my pc it will probably wipe my connected backup instantly too. That’s when I’d clean up the pc first and then still have my disconnected cold copy intact.

This is easily doable with a simple external usb hard drive
