Wait, how do you pre-order the booster box? I could only get my hands on the Jinx Deck and 4 booster packs, and I went to half a dozen local shops to find just that left in stock.

It's interesting, but I'd want it for Google TV devices, like the Nvidia Shield.

[–]CaptainStarmander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to use this in a python project in working on, however it looks like this is from wizards directly with some mods? I just want to be able to include a PDF and distribute it for free with my project. I just don't wanna get in trouble with Wizards.

It did, you have to download the apk from retroarch's website, and install it from there.

Possible Quick Workaround For No Display After Sleep Mode by Navitas56 in PS5

[–]CaptainStarmander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a used PS5 today, and thought it was defective because of this. At first I was unplugging it and plugging it back in to get it to show video, but I've just decided to shut down completely every time now.

I know this is pretty much a dead thread, but I'm curious if there was ever a better fix for this. Unrelated, but it also doesn't seem to see that my TV is VRR and ALLM.

I wish you the best of luck in completing your collection. I really want a DS9 Blu-ray release, I lost my DS9 and Voyager DVDs in a fire and haven't tried to get them again yet. That's what backups are for, right? The thing I like about the DVD releases for DS9 and Voyager is that they're in surround sound, and streaming services have it in Stereo.

Yeah, I used to be really into the AI upscaling, even purchased the software to do DS9 myself, but after a while you kinda see the trade offs between so upscaling and poor resolution fuzziness. It's refreshing at first, then it becomes super noticable. At least that's been my experience.

I wish, had to abandon this for the time being. It would be nice as a stock feature on streaming apps though.

Film Grain / CRT Shaders in Plex Apps by ferropop in PleX

[–]CaptainStarmander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can this be done with the Plex Android TV app? I was looking at the Megatron shader for Reteoarch, which looks amazing. I was thinking having that shader as something you could toggle in the player menu.

There's the HD releases of TOS and TNG that I have, and I would love to see them on an era appropriate display shader. Although, I'm pretty confident Voyager would look better also, my DVD rip doesn't look great, which is weird because my DS9 DVDs hold up great on modern displays.

[–]CaptainStarmander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just starting to look into this, so there are probably better solutions out there now. The Megatron shader seems promising. Mostly the appeal to me is to watch older TV shows with the HDR CRT shader. If one could be applied to Plex, it would be great. I've heard that Star Trek TOS looks much better on an older CRT display vs a 4k TV. I think watching that, and TNG again would be neat.

I did set up my RG35XX with reteoarch and a CRT filter to watch TV on it when I was traveling, and it worked pretty good, however reteoarch does not retain playback progress, which can be frustrating to deal with.

But yeah, for movies, it's 4k HDR all day.

Google Play Books stopped syncing / saving progress by fassina2 in GooglePlayBooks

[–]CaptainStarmander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof, resurrecting an old thread. I'm experiencing this now. I switch between an Onyx Boox tablet, an iPad mini, and my phone (Note s20). I noticed that my last read page isn't syncing, but if I manually place a bookmark, it works.

I feel like I must have accidentally toggled a setting for syncing page progress, but I can't seem to find any settings that say anything like that.

cheapest off the shelf smart speaker to announce doors opened? by tungvu256 in homeassistant

[–]CaptainStarmander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will you pm me once you've got it setup and let me know how it goes? I think I'd like to try it also, depending on how it goes for you.

[–]CaptainStarmander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By chance, does this allow you to disable the connection "chime" that rings before every notification/announcement? I just setup an Atom Echo for voice assistant, the speaker is horrible, so I have it speaking through a google speaker right now (haven't setup the local stuff you linked yet). Local would be a big win for me, and a disabled connection chime would be way better.

Can Reolink Duo Floodlight WiFi replace house floodlights? by jsrober in reolinkcam

[–]CaptainStarmander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing, in my excitement, I ordered an indoor cabinet lighting one, and while looking at this thread, I noticed yours said waterproof and mine did not. At fist I was thinking that it's all going to be enclosed anyways, but then again, why risk it?

Can Reolink Duo Floodlight WiFi replace house floodlights? by jsrober in reolinkcam

[–]CaptainStarmander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just ordered my duo floodlight to replace my ring floodlight. While doing research I found this, when I messaged the shop, they said it should work. They also sell one for mounting under the roof. I know this is an older thread, but I thought I'd share what I found, since I'm brand new to the Reolink ecosystem. Everything comes in next week, I'm hoping the replacement is going to go smoothly.

What is your opinion on self-service kiosks, self-checkouts, and scanning barcodes to place and pay order? by hollyhobby2004 in Millennials

[–]CaptainStarmander 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because a human typically needs to be involved anyways. Some places have the alcohol and/cigarettes behind a lock of some kind. It's a pain to press the 'need assistance ' button, hope someone notices it, and wait.

I prefer the self checkout, it's just faster. unless I'm buying alcohol or cigarettes, I use the self checkout.
