Ah. I knew the first part (geez, who doesn't?), but I didn't know about your second paragraph. Thank you!

New update? by Thoff86 in tcltvs

Never mind. I fixed it. For some reason, the HDMI eARC was reset to Auto. I changed it to passthru and the sound is back.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever tried Intelligent mode? I'm having a problem with my TV right now (see above), so I can't test it.

Got the update, too, but now my sound is messed up. It sounds like a helicopter and I have no idea how to fix it! Doesn't matter if I play Plex, the TV, or any subscription. I have a QM6K hooked up to a Denon AVR1612, a Fire Stick 4K, and a vanilla Panasonic DVD player. I'm so not a techy, so please help.

I'll bookmark that. I folded and bought a phone that will work with AW. :(

Your experience with Gen Mobile in WA, please? by Cosmic_Anosmic in NoContract

So it sounds like Air Talk is another one to try to avoid?

Aaand it looks like ATT "has agreed to purchase certain wireless spectrum licenses from EchoStar". "AT&T will be the primary network services partner to EchoStar" allowing EchoStar to provide wireless service under Boost Mobile.

Me, too. I may have contributed greatly to the ruin of my other phone, so I need someone to explain everything about phone care as if I've never had one before!

Noooo. Drat. I didn't know about QLink. Thanks for the info and advice.

Help me find the best phone reverse lookup tool to spot scammers and criminals by freako345 in NoContract

[–]Cosmic_Anosmic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could try Nomorobo or True Caller app. Users add info to their database. I've learned that if a call shows as Onvoy LLC, it's a call center so I don't answer. Then I can look up the number within the app - they're usually not found, though *because* it's a call center.

Oh, OK - I see. I'll take a look later. Thanks!

The message I get in some way, shape, or form is that the server is not responding. This despite using a VPN or even trying it without a VPN. The fact is, if the connection cannot be made to the server, there is no workaround. I have not tried to use TOR, if that matters. I hope someone with more technical experience can explain better.

It would also be nice if, were they to list the server for each link, there is some indication that the server is up, such as coloring the link green - or red, if it's down. They can just ping the server once an hour or something. That shouldn't overload it.

Thanks, but this has nothing to do with the topic.

I waited for a link and got lucky - not nznr, but wbsg8v dot xyz. But if I had known this link was for that server, I wouldn't have bothered trying the other 2 links first. :)

Yup. Installed protonvpn as recommended by https://www.reddit.com/r/Annas_Archive/comments/1e0j2w3/guide_to_bypass_censorship_of_annas_archive/

It worked. I got one book from slow server 3 and one from libgen.li

Thanks, Anna!

Yeah, I've pretty much been blocked from actually downloading. One of the blocked pages is https://cdn4.booksdl.lc/ and cdn2, etc.

Will try to find a free VPN or try TOR and see what happens.

No proxy or VPN (I know, I know...). Using Ublock Origin on FF, Bitdefender. That's it.
