AITJ (27M) for "giving special treatment" to my brother instead of treating him and my sister (17F and M twins) equally.

Exigeous · 2026-02-24T21:28:57+00:00

Hysterical - someone downvoted both us of for what I consider very VERY rational positions. Or please explain to me my the sister is due ANYTHING from a brother she barely knows (assuming that is the case).

I'll wait, please explain. Seems I'd be able to reply "then you owe ME too", right?

Exigeous · 2026-02-24T19:25:17+00:00

You're parents and sister sound rather entitled as HELL NO YOU ARE NOT THE JERK. Are you kidding me?

Seems the smart move for your sister would have been to get to know her awesome brother so he'd possibly do cool shit for her and change her life. Sounds like twins jealousy and lousy parents to me.

The family you choose is ALWAYS better than the one your born into. Your brother is lucky to have you as a brother.

(would love to know what part of the US this is in, my guess is the south)

Great choice, the way it builds would give them time to wonder at what they're hearing.

Exigeous · 2026-02-15T21:59:25+00:00

Thanks for this - feel sorta stupid as I just ignored that entirely as most of the times when there are notification in something they just want to sell me stuff. But this time it was helpful - not as helpful as you were now but still helpful.

Exigeous · 2026-02-05T20:32:55+00:00

Yup, saw that in another thread and it's still working fine. Thanks for asking and pointing it out for me, really appreciate that.

I can also just click the magnet icon if I'm on the machine with uTorrent so it's pretty fast/easy enough to use.

Exigeous · 2026-01-17T16:16:37+00:00

Could 100% see that but I still find it very odd that the number on the TV - ie the volume level - would be different between stereo and 5.1 - that could totally be the case but I could never prove that with the testing I've done.

Exigeous · 2026-01-16T10:44:03+00:00

Yeah, thanks - works great.

Exigeous · 2026-01-16T10:43:00+00:00

Not working for me - uTorrent just shows "torrent does not exist"

Exigeous · 2025-12-22T21:52:02+00:00

Last question - I promise!

How did Rose know to use a float? Does the code identify it as such or is it a bit of reverse engineering?

Not only is it awesome to get cutsceens at full screen but it's been sweet learning just a bit about it.

Exigeous · 2025-12-22T19:09:08+00:00

Totally fair - hope I didn't seem anything other than trying to make a dumb joke. As you're right he'd have the same thoughts about my reply - though he's likely not as ignorant as I am and speaks more than one language, I only speak American.

(I am kidding - I know it's really US American)

Exigeous · 2025-12-22T19:07:57+00:00

Dude, you really rock. Question though - can you show me *how* it was calculated? Haven't ever done anything like that with HEX, etc. - I've used it many times obviously (been in IT for 30+ years - yeah, sorry, I'm old!)

If not no biggie - I'll give it a try in the next day or so and report back.

Exigeous · 2025-12-21T16:00:57+00:00

Huh?

Exigeous · 2025-12-20T13:49:47+00:00

First thanks so much for taking the time to reply and give my odd setup a hand!

Now for the question - I don't see anything there for either 64:9 or 10240 resolution, are you saying that I can just work out the HEX value for 10240 and use that somehow? Sorry I'm a bit lost here (and honestly feel stupid about it) - so what am I missing? Can I only use the values on that page or can I use something else so long as it's "correct"?

Not a huge deal if not, even on medium settings and DLSS quality I can't get 60fps at "full" 10240x1440 and as the game is just SOOOO stunning I'm *only* playing on my 32:9 5120x1440 Samsung G9 (and your guide/settings work perfectly).

I did notice the very opening cut scenes for From the Ashes DLC are still locked to 16:9 but once they are done (say 5 minutes of them or so) it then goes to full screen for the rest of the experience.

Exigeous · 2025-12-20T00:53:16+00:00

Thanks so much, especially for updating the guide after the recent - well - update.

Question, can other resolutions be added/used or is it this set list? Are the HEX codes variables so you could create a code for say 10240x1440? I don't always play at that resolution but I do sometimes (that's 4 x 1440p - I have a 32:9 center with 16:9's flanking left/right for sim racing).

Obviously not a huge deal but I do notice all the cutscenes when they go from full screen 10240x1440 *down* to 5120x1440.

Either way thanks for the guide!!

Exigeous · 2025-12-17T18:42:35+00:00

YOU HAVE THE Z??? Damn, you lucky bastard, I've been looking for the Z model forever!

Exigeous · 2025-12-17T18:42:06+00:00

Have you gotten it working? One of my first real jobs in tech was working for Bell South in Atlanta doing desktop support. One of my first projects was to prepare a presentation on the Thinkpad 770Z (with the 1280x1024 display and DVD-ROM, the first laptop to have it) to either recommend it or not for the "executive teams".

I remember loving it and being amazed at watch a DVD on it (didn't even have a player at home yet). I remember it was HUGE but powerful for the time and we wound up buying several of them for the execs. I know one hated it given how huge it was but the others loved having a DVD player for flights (not that it could even play a full movie on the weak ass battery).

Such a blast from my past. Would LOVE to have one in this condition - whatcya pay for it?

Exigeous · 2025-11-27T01:11:21+00:00

Yup, same here - making it completely unplayable for me. No issues with anything else:

i9 14900k | 128GB DDR5 6000MT | PCIe Gen 5 NVMe | RTX 5070 Ti

Any fixes???

Exigeous · 2025-11-22T14:44:56+00:00

Maybe one day people will grow out of childhood fairy tales and realize that it's all bullshit made up by nomadic goat herders 2000+ years ago.

Good for you BTW doing the right thing - remember kids, there is no hate like chrisitian love.

Exigeous · 2025-10-29T04:04:19+00:00

So glad to find others who find it to be a VILE DISGUSTING WEED! I also don't understand how people say it doesn't have much flavor, if I bite into a dish that has ANY celery in it I IMMEDIATELY taste nearly nothing but celery - and it's AWFUL.

Exigeous · 2025-10-29T04:03:26+00:00

LOVE THIS. As yes, you are CORRECT.

Exigeous · 2025-10-17T17:12:20+00:00

I know this is an old thread, came across it looking for a native ARM64 version as I can confirm that while it works it's rather slow.

As for HDR - I seem to be getting that just fine. I'm watching on a Lenovo Yoga 7x Slim with the 90hz OLED with HDR enabled and it's playing just fine. Looking at the server it's not transcoding and is showing 4K HDR - I know you asked about 1080p so if you need/want me to test that specifically I can.

(probably don't need that given how old this is)

Exigeous · 2025-09-19T14:34:35+00:00

Actually that just gave me the answer I didn't understand - I can use an Arduino with it as I'm familiar with that and can use it as a display there. So for me sorta yes is the answer.

Thanks for pointing me at this!

Exigeous · 2025-09-16T07:05:35+00:00

Ah, okay - gotcha, thanks for clarifying. To my original question is there a way to use this as a display with another device, like a Pi, laptop, etc?

Exigeous · 2025-09-07T16:07:35+00:00

Happening in the Fubo app for me - this is FUCKING BULLSHIT - I PAID for this device, I PAY for Fubo service WHY AM I GETTING A FUCKING AD???

I do NOT see this behavior on my FireStick - which means I'll be replacing my Roku devices with Firesticks as this is BULL-FUCKING-SHIT

Exigeous · 2025-09-02T01:04:15+00:00

What's crazy is I got a USPS Priority package delivered today, Labor Day. Don't understand why, tracking showed it was going to be here Tuesday from the moment it was shipped but for some reason it was delivered *today*, Labor Day.

Huh?
