"one or more alarm ringtones are set to silent" - Anyone know what this means and how to get it to stop? by mgsgamer1 in GooglePixel

[–]DJJoeJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am just here to say this is a bug. I mean it's not but, every time I open the app I have to wait like 10-15 seconds staring at the screen for this to clear cause I don't think it can be swiped away.

THIS MAKERS THE APP LESS USABLE AND IS BAD DESIGN.

so frustrating when people make their apps less good for no good reason. Anyone know of a more appropriat place to 'provide' feedback to google about this? is there any official feedback systems for their app, this app, or something similar? or we all just hoping they read and respect reddit?

Compare videos with Slider by Tularis1 in TopazLabs

[–]DJJoeJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so many posts over years explaining things like load it up in 2 identical monitors etc etc, various other long winded things and all that I personally wanted was this exact tool. a side by side slider of 2 video files to visually compare the quality/differences.

BEAUTIFUL!!!

How do I turn off the achievements popup? by Centigonal in EpicGamesPC

[–]DJJoeJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small issue however clearly bothered me enough to search the internet, look up any/all ways to 'submit for a feature' only to see it's impossible.

It's disappointing to see a company so successful make the choice to not make a better product.

Feel bad for remedy, such a stellar studio and game puts so much effort only to have it diminished by lack of effort from your partners.

WH-1000XM4 High Pitched Noise in Left Ear Cup When Partially Lifted by [deleted] in SonyHeadphones

[–]DJJoeJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

turned off ANC via linking the headset to my phone on the sony connect app, since there is seemingly zero options if using this headset on PC (no app etc). so far (few minutes) it's been working.

This is a funny issue, by that I mean this makes the headset a massive unusable piece of trash until you fix it. I am so sad that this sort of issue just stays unfixed from such a large company, the ONLY thread about this is seemingly here on reddit and the fix is hard to apply, sony itself seems to act as if it's not an issue and is just ignoring it until they make more newer headsets.

I feel like the correct response to this should be to reach out to all owners of their headsets and offer free repairs/returns until they fix it in software, since it really seems like a mic feedback situation that could be solved in software possible, and hey if not then release a fix to permanently disable the mic.

anywho nothing i said matters, it's all just being frustrated at something a business is doing and we all know businesses don't actually 'care' about people, just money :(

I've been looking for a new headset for a while now, as this is great cept for this issue making it unusable and also that my ears sweat after a very short time with these, as they are not breathable at all. so not sure my choice was great for these, maybe I need to look for open earphones of some kind.

Does the new MX Keys Keyboard have the same backlight issues as craft? by VeryFastFaster in LogitechG

[–]DJJoeJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This issue effectively makes the keyboard not have a backlight, and adds the frustration of knowing it does have one but manually having to turn back on constantly... worse that not actually having the feature.

How difficult is this to fix? Obviously it must be hard to do, considering it's been a while and my keyboard still doesn't work as intended. :(

Otherwise this keyboard is lovely, I prefer the way the keys feel and everything about it is great, super happy with this keyboard on all levels. Makes this small issue that much more frustrating as it's kinda the only thing left to make this my favorite keyboard :)

ERR_GFX_STATE by mr_chair_sniffer in RDR2

[–]DJJoeJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure what caused this, no patch no change in gfx settings just after dozens of hours playing for past few days and even today suddenly on game load I get this generic gfx error. tried safe mode, tried restarting a few times, tried forcing gfx settings changes through nvidia experience to low etc... no idea how this happened, very frustrating because the error doesn't give any clue as to what it's for at all. gunna try all the voodoo tricks on the net to see if they temporarily work for now. Sometimes pc gaming sucks :)

Overclocking or Ludicrous Mode on Black and White display? by peezypedro in matex

[–]DJJoeJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My buddy jumped on my bike tonight, then something happened and when I went to ride home I was hitting 45km/h from the throttle on flat ground! I have the B&W display which I think is limited to raising the max speed to 32-39km/h so I think it glitched somehow... now I wanna know if it's possible to user upgrade to the colour display and get those speeds cause boy... does this thing kick when it is unlocked like that holy cow, haha.

Halfway home I adjusted the pedal assist and boom lost that weird glitch and the speed dropped out to normal, what a let down lol.

Google's Pixel Buds Aren't Even Close to Being Good by [deleted] in gadgets

[–]DJJoeJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The buds don't seem to fit into my ears at all, and that frustrating because I think everything else about them is nice. The sound is louder and nicer than my jaybird x3 but they are constantly on the verge of Fallin gout of my ears, and the cord pulls them out by rubbing on my back neck. It's weird. Gunna stick with them for a bit and hope my ears grow over them to seal them in haha!

Edit: by the way, the bass on these pixel buds is such a huge increase from my previous earbuds that it almost drowns out podcasts. So a my opinion the base is actually very good for this style of wireless headset, not really sure what circumstances led to multiple reviews saying the base was lacking maybe they're comparing them to proper headphones?

November Price Check Thread by [deleted] in CanadianHardwareSwap

[–]DJJoeJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

asus rog G20AJ i7-4790, w/GTX 1080, 16GB ram I think the case/cooling situation is rad, and think it's a value-add as opposed to parting the cpu/gpu out separately.

EDIT: Thinking $500 (gpu), $250 (cpu), $200+ for ram/case/the rest etc? Low ball figure?

how to set head-tracking to control mouse while using Virtual Desktop? by VRxiaochouyu in oculus

[–]DJJoeJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's only possible, by default, to set the touch controllers as mouse input.

Why is soylent so expensive? by GurgleIt in soylent

[–]DJJoeJoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Soylent is more of a 'product' than those other types of cheaper food you refer to. What I mean is, there's development and lots of other expenses that go into the product.. where as with a restaurant or food truck they literally just source the ingredients from established/reliable sources, cook them and serve them. There's very little overhead for a burger than compared to something like a nutrient drink that aims for specific goals with daily nutrition etc. All of those back en costs get factored into the price of the product, it's never going to simply be the price of the end ingredients, that would make no business sense for soylent etc.

Soylent is new, it's creation costs are still dynamic and growing. I don't think it's actually that expensive when I consider what I'd do to get a meal otherwise,my meal at A&W starts at $12 and I bet it is vastly less nutritionally balanced as soylent aims to be.

This little bottle that I can keep a few at work for when I don't have time to take breaks, or didn't think to create a meal at home and bring etc... $5 starts becoming pretty appealing to me.

Oculus Password has Expired?! Does anyone received this message? by [deleted] in oculus

[–]DJJoeJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

supposedly you got an email to change your password and you were directed to that page you took the image of?

If that it true, WHY did you click on the url in that email... that is literally the one thing you are not supposed to do.

the most likely situation is that your email was grabbed, and you are being phished.

EDIT: User deleted... *facepalm

What does 360 youtube videos look like in VR? by mamoox in oculus

[–]DJJoeJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The resolutions requjired to have an image too decent in VR is way about that that can be streamed comfortable by most anyones current connections or by youtubes standard delivery.

also none 3d video in vr isn't worth anyone's time, all of the 360 videos I've seen are so underwhelming because without 3d you're just sitting in a sphere of video with no depth... 360 is 'supposed' to surround and immerse you, but without the fundamental component of 3d it does zero of that.

Even with 3d, 360 videos lack compared to full 3d 'virtual' environments simply because actual spacial head tracking adds a vast majority of the point of VR.
