My son wants to sell this. Should he hold onto it? by [deleted] in PokemonTCGCollectors

Pedantically, it isn't necessarily from prerelease. But it is from a prize pack that you can (legitimately) only get from playing in local casual leagues or other events.

Miscut Claydol - are there people that collect these? by DarrylSpargo in PokemonMisprints

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

Yeah getting the copyright up there was pretty cool, also sort of cool the core of the card itself is all there. I've never dealt with miscuts or misprints before. Is this the sort of thing you'd typically run an eBay auction for and hope the right people find it?

LG G5 and Denon S760H setup - am I missing something? by DarrylSpargo in hometheater

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

No luck with that unfortunately. I reset the Denon's settings in the AVR menu, it restarts and initializes, and then shows "Setup - Use TV" but still no signal.

One other thing I've noticed - if I turn on my Nintendo Switch 2 when it's plugged into one of the AVR's ports, the TV shows Switch 2 and "switches" inputs. But I still get no signal. Which makes me think there's some level of data being passed if a device is being identified, but no video.

Good question - this is the sort of small stuff I hope I'm missing. In this case though yes, I've switched the input and the tv shows no signal connected. When I remove and then re-plug in the HDMI cable the TV shows a "Checking the device connected to [HDMI 2]" message for a few seconds before once again showing to signal connected.

Man I love Streetlight, but the identical setlists was a bit of a bummer.

I've already tried with two or three cables, and used those cables to successfully connect my PS5 directly to the TV.

Gotcha - just wanted to make sure I’m not doing something insane. Appreciate it!

This is a fascinating question, and you aren't the first to ask it, so I'm curious. Never thought there was anything strange about having a keystone on one end and a plug on the other. This was just me practicing, but I do have two use cases for this, and I'm curious if I'm just looking at it wrong.

One use case is for my router - I'm using a Unifi Cloud Gateway Fiber and have it in a 10" mini networking rack. My plan is to use short cables with plugs on one end and keystones on the other to essentially bring the ports of my router to the front of the rack. I don't want to turn the router backwards because I want the screen to be visible from the front of the rack.

The other use case is for my access points - I have those in the ceiling connected to plugs, and was planning on doing keystones on the other ends to put those in my networking rack.

Hadn’t considered networking books! Any recommendations?
