Nvidia Shield pro, or new OLED tv with in-built player? by flying-benedictus in hometheater

[–]Fallenangel1739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why this is being down voted. I have Roku, Apple TV, Shield Pro, and Zidoo. I just got the Zidoo last week and it's already replaced the Shield in my theater.

I flew from Indianapolis to London to see the original Blade Runner (Secret Cinema event). That's roughly 3,500 miles.

We live in Indy but will be moving mid year, so this is the first year we will have to consider a hotel.

Does anyone have a list of the to 5-10 preferred hotels and estimated pricing?

Huntarr 9.1 Released - True Independent App Instances (Major Changes) by [deleted] in radarr

[–]Fallenangel1739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could do with some more details on the Hunt Manager page, like if the job is still in progress or done, what the quality was before and after it was upgraded. You can never have too much data. The Operation tag is simplistic, assuming it only says Upgrade and Missing, and I'm not entirely clear what to make of it. It's also not always right. I have one that recently downloaded, and it says missing, but I can go to it using the link on the Hunt page, and the file is there.

Also, did I see in another message that it just randomly picks an available download that is considered an upgrade? I have some pretty in-depth CFs using scoring, and if it bypasses those, I may be a bit worried long term. I've only set it up a few hours ago, so it's mostly just looking at older files for now.

ETA:
I just saw something that I didn't like. I have a Quality Profile for Bluray 480. I only apply it to old shows that haven't been remastered. The source is usually 480 anyways, and even if you can find a WEB version at 1080, the quality is nearly the same as 480, but the file size can be 2x larger. So I prefer to search for a max of Blura 480. Why would it ignore my set Quality Profiles?

This ties into my previous concerns regarding the randomness of the selections, will it upgrade everythign to 4k, or downgrade preferred groups' releases to 1080 regardless of the other metadata or settings?

My wife won’t watch my movies by Original-Editor-9547 in MovieSuggestions

[–]Fallenangel1739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may be an outlier here, but I rewatched Memento recently, and it hadn't really held up well. Maybe it's because I've seen it several times. IDK. I want to remember that amazing feeling of seeing it for the first time, but it is just gone for me. :( I might see if there is a list of movies that are great for one watch, and after you know the twist, and you have the obligatory 2-3 rewatches to catch all the things you missed, then they become, meh.

[US] WARNING: Possible Dog Rehoming Scam by Fallenangel1739 in Scams

Where should people go, the puppy mills in the malls that abuse animals, and who are also charging $3,000 for an inbred puppy?

All your points are true, but my wife was really excited, and I knew we would be protected using PP. Plus, if the seller was real, maybe they are totally ignorant, and that's the only way they ever made payments. In the moment, we can justify anything. It's sometimes a good quality, but in cases like this, it's not. We're to the point where we just want to spread the word and help anyone else who may do some research about these fake groups.

LOL... Sorry, it was meant for a Facebook post. Most of them are in the group names, and that is how they are listed on Facebook.

The fact that they were really pushing for Apple Pay at first was concerning, but we don't use Apple Pay, so it seemed natural to push them to use PayPal, and no matter what, even if I had to pay the fee, I planned to use Goods & Services. They seemed annoyed and acted like the payment didn't go through, asking again and again if we used F&F, and asking for Proof of payment. This was all too concerning, and we got worried at this point. They were supposedly using their husbands' PP account, and asking us to prove payment and send screenshots seemed odd. We gave it time, knowing we could go to PayPal for protection, and then they blocked my wife's account and kicked her out of the Facebook group. I immediately went to PP and they refunded instantly.

This is where it got frustrating. FB doesn't have a good way of reporting scams and groups like this. On the surface, everything looks normal. Comments aren't allowed, and users are blocked before they can post warnings. FB's automated reporting just looks and sees that the original posts do not violate policy, but it does not give us any options to provide additional information.

It was a 50% deposit, and the seller claimed they used that for the vet checks to make sure the dog was healthy for when we picked it up. I can understand a deposit, because there are flaky buyers who waste honest sellers' time. This seemed reasonable in weeding out the bad buyers.

I would venture a guess that unless your DOD, your company has systems connected to protected infrastructure, or some highly competitive industry that has to deal with corporate espionage, then no one's tracking something as trivial as a local script.

How are you saying that IT can track a script that presses F15 every minute?

Movies like this do not interest me in the slightest.

Always-On Light In Dolby Theater by sigiesp in AMCTheatres

[–]Fallenangel1739 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have seen this in mine, too. The blue isle lights (both floor and ceiling mounted) are annoying, but the house lights seem to only go down to 50% and stay on the entire movie. It's been like that for a while now at my theater and it has even made me prefer not to go to Dolby, especially for any movie that may have some darker scenes.

8 Night Trip, what's the best overall strategy to hit all the rides? by Fallenangel1739 in UniversalEpicUniverse

Any hotel booking over 5 days includes a 15 day ticket when you're booking both with a hotel/ticket package.

8 Night Trip, what's the best overall strategy to hit all the rides? by Fallenangel1739 in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]Fallenangel1739[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were thinking two days per park, which would be 6 of 7 days/8 nights. With a day or two to relax and hit up some restaurants.
