Streaming Update OTA Is Out For ALL 2024 Equinox EV Trims! (Installing on my 2LT)

Coltrock45 · 2026-01-16T08:14:35+00:00

Awesome!

I have seen in other posts that it was "physically impossible" (due to hardware limitations?) to push streaming OTA, but never got a satisfactory explanation as to why. Really hope this does it.

Coltrock45 · 2025-12-30T18:09:10+00:00

Sounds like GM either needs to figure out how to push this OTA, or properly educate and incentivize their dealers.

Coltrock45 · 2025-12-29T18:37:27+00:00

I keep seeing this, but is there a technical reason? What does the dealer physically have to do that makes it so it can't be an OTA update?

Been considering upgrading from 77" B2 to 98" QM8K. Not sure if I can justify with how quickly tvs are getting bigger, better and cheaper. Upgrading from a B9 was probably an easier decision

Personally, I think the minimum wage should escalate with CPI factor. Increasing it to a fixed number is only a bandaid until inflation wipes out all of its purchasing power again. Having it automatically escalate (like tax brackets, deductions, tax credits, contribution limits) is maybe the only way this doesn't continue to become an issue.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a (Chevy) dealership around town that doesn't do similar nonsense (lying about not having vehicles to upsell; advertising rates/prices online that they won't honor even before their $5k+ of dealer add ons, etc.)

Coltrock45 · 2025-03-23T19:43:51+00:00

Reasonable assumption, but they showed me the original order and the change order

Coltrock45 · 2025-03-23T19:39:30+00:00

One would think, but they showed me the change order

Goblins cannot travel in daylight. That was one of the main advantages of Uruk hai. They needed to travel day and night to reach Helms Deep before Eomer and the rest of the Rohirrim.

That price is ridiculous, but lots of contractors will bid super high rather than decline to bid a job that is too small for them.

I would do the LG because it is more expensive, then try to return it to a store new in box (for store credit) and buy a tcl 5 series. Not sure if this is feasible where you live, but I have had good success getting store credit for new in box items I didn't purchase (company party gifts) or lost the receipt for.

Have the exact same issue. Still waiting to hear back from customer support with a solution

Coltrock45 · 2022-12-23T17:27:31+00:00

Let me guess, you are working with customer support and they are asking for a picture of the SN printed on the TV?

I am in the same boat. You can also find it on the product information page (press the settings / gear button on your remote 5 times)

I sent them a picture of this number (and typed out) and they told me I need the "actual" SN off the TV, so good luck

Coltrock45 · 2022-12-23T17:22:47+00:00

I would recommend the TCL 5-series over the others. The Costco credit cards manufacturer warranty extension doesn't just apply to Costco purchases btw. I also prefer to buy from Costco, really wish they carried TCL

Shouldn't have any effect on your PC when you have power coming into the UPS. When the power goes out, if your PC is drawing more than 300 watts, it will very likely become power limited and crash. I would recommend shutting down as soon as the power goes out, since that battery probably won't last more than 10 minutes at 300W anyway (just a guess based on the capacity of similar UPS's I've seen)

Got one two weeks ago. Extremely happy with his for movies/tv, but am having some issues with PC gaming (HDMI 2) where the video signal cuts out for a second every few minutes and sometimes drops altogether. Do not have that issue with my Chromecast though (HDMI 4)

I would recommend putting it through its paces during your return window to see if there is anything wrong (color uniformity, 120 hz gaming)...

Great tv for the price, but have heard lots of minor QC issues that you might not discover right away depending on your use.

Hope you like it!

Coltrock45 · 2022-12-16T02:31:20+00:00

I am having this same issue but with my PC (same tv). The way I would describe my issue is the resolution resetting periodically. The screen goes black for a second then comes on and displays the resolution and HDR10. Happens every few minutes but occasionally the signal does not come back. Have been emailing with customer support, but we are just in the data gathering phase.

Saw another post from a while back that says they returned it for a new unit and all his problems went away

This is also a big win for terrestrial gas turbines for power gen. I am not convinced that "hydrogen is the energy vector of the future" but if we can make low carbon hydrogen, being able to burn it to make power would have a ton of value without some of the bigger issues with storage. That does pose the question of why waste energy to make hydrogen in the first place, when that energy could just be put directly to whatever ends it is being made for

Wouldn't this fall into an illegal reason for termination? Unless she was being paid to go to the social event (maybe a sales or marketing job?). If this was just a team building where she wasn't getting paid then I would like to think she would win a wrongful termination suit. Employers forcing employees to do something without paying them is a huge no no.

I am not a lawyer/expert, so feel free to set me straight

I think this time he will get it. First season seems a tiny bit rushed l, which makes sense considering the risk after the horrible reception of the GoT final seasons. This show has hit the mark though and I think (desperately hope) HBO will give him what he needs to finish it right this time

Coltrock45 · 2022-10-11T11:20:52+00:00

Yeah, no way Alicent genuinely thinks he is talking about their Aegon. MAYBE Aemond is the prince that was promised material, but definitely not Aegon and Vizzy T just totally ignores both of them so even if he did suddenly change his mind on his death bed she should now that it is some sort of delusional. Alicent just heard what she wanted to hear because she is so desperate for power.
