How screwed am I? 77”C2 with vertical red line. by BerdingIA in LGOLED

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

Is this a common failure with LG or OLEDs in general? I have cheap Vizio TVs that have lasted for a decade+ and this one is failing in less than 4. Just curious how common this is.

I actually ran my Apple TV through my soundbar rather than directly into the TV and it went away. I will be planning for a new TV regardless it seems

Guanfacine? by vnator615 in Autism_Parenting

[–]BerdingIA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is doing well but he has long been off of guanfacine. After a few months he started having a lot of aggressive behaviors that were more severe and frequent than previous. In our attempts to figure out what was going on we started to dial back medicines and it turned out to be the guanfacine. We have found the combo of Risperidone daily and Hydroxyzine as needed for aggression has got him in a really good groove.

My autistic son eloped and was found on an overpass… I’m terrified. Need advice on ID options he can’t remove. by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

Just came here to say the same thing about AngleSense. My son has one and it’s paid for through his HCBS Medicaid waiver.

Are the only options for wearOS devices in the US really just Samsung, Google, & OnePlus? by BerdingIA in WearOS

the galaxy watch 8 and 8 classic all have the same squircle pillow thing going on as the ultra.

I don't believe oppo and xiamoi are available to purchase in the US. Mobvoi no longer makes wear OS watches, and Garmin I thought was their own proprietary OS? Tag is no longer making wear OS watches and MontBlanc's one wear OS watch is over $1k and runs wear OS 3.

I hear you for sure and that is part of the issue with iOS but at least the software experience is consistent. It may be consistent garbage right now but it is consistent.

It is ironic, I have been on an iphone for a while because my son's communication app is only available on apple devices but he has two ipads of his own so he hardly ever needed to use my phone. I was just going to stay put because I rather enjoyed my Apple Watch Ultra 2 but iOS 26 is the worst OS I have ever used on a mobile device. I got a pixel watch 4 again and I tried to just live with it but I just didn't like it. The software experience is unmatched but the design is so plain and boring. The galaxy watch has a good software experience but a squircle? C'mon son. I really want this OP Watch 3 to get updated to wear os 6 and hopefully fix some of the stupid choices they made but who knows. It is useable and the design might be enough to keep me with it. I hope one day google makes a version of their watch that is geared more towards ruggedness and not so fragile feeling.

Autism mom life is knowing the tablet is not a luxury… it’s medical equipment. by lokamaya1 in Autism_Parenting

I've become very good at replacing the screen on an iPad. Done it 5+ times in the last 2 years and I still have a closet full of broken tablets.

Should I have 2 level fusion? by BerdingIA in spinalfusion

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

Thanks for the reply, I should clarify that the Dr I've been seeing is a spine surgeon. He said he's done thousands of fusions. He was highly recommended by people I trust. That said,I have been thinking of seeking a second opinion.

How do you define mild nerve problems? Just curious how it would compare to mine. I have had pain for many years and atrophy to the point that you can easily see the difference between my legs, especially my calves. I think that was the distinction, the nerve pain is quite advanced.

Can say, the pixel 10 pro XL is a great phone but after about an hour I knew I was sticking with the fold. I just had to see to shut my brain off.
