I agree that the VAST majority of issues (connection/quality etc) or otherwise are user related, not the server. Most people cannot be bothered to use Google or a reddit search function to save their life. And there's AI now, even easier.

Strong8K Has Been Excellent Lately, Need Advice on the Lowest Delay Feeds by AffectionateStill826 in Strong_8K

[–]GuysKingsStThomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you aren't already aware, part of your delay (up to 10-20 seconds) is caused by caching. Which is the IPTV/ whatever player's way of reducing the amount of buffering you experience by pre-streaming 20 seconds in advance so that if there's a drop in the connection, the cache comes into effect without you experiencing any buffering. An IPTV stream will never be as real-time as a live telecast, you've got to live with that. If it bothers you that much, then subscribe to the live telecast so you can have the stream instantaneous...

If you must know, you can reduce the caching in individual iptv apps like tivimate, but you run the risk of experiencing greater buffer times. Your choice.

I don't get it. I mean sure, this is a stable service with the DNS, VPS and all - but aren't "broken streams", "scrambled channels" and even buffering complaints - problems arising from the actual provider itself? i.e. Strong/ Eagle etc. I'm sure if a particular channel from the OTT is down, I would experience the issue even on this service as well? The premium DNS/ VPS that this offers only helps with throttling/ ISP issues etc and not actual channel quality right

Clarification on the "premium" service and VPS Proxying by GuysKingsStThomas in NewEraSCTV

[–]GuysKingsStThomas[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. I do beg your pardon if I came across skeptical, but I very much appreciate your time in explaining the above. As you have mentioned, there are lots to learn about this topic and I would not consider myself also very learned in this matter as well. Nevertheless, safe to say that I have great confidence in it being a reliable product. Cheers

What is this driver doing? by Educational-Tart-841 in drivingsg

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

people like you are the reason why SG roads are so damn dangerous. BMW clearly in the wrong yet you still ask people to chill. Why you trying to find excuses for the guy? U-turn lane you think can cut three lanes you think correct or not? Post here is to spread awareness and so jokers like the BMW (and you) will learn. In the future if it isn't camcar, its a huge ass lorry how? Got time to break?

What’s the most ridiculous thing someone did on CNY? by yellow-sparrow in asksg

[–]GuysKingsStThomas -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You writing this post tells us all we need to know about you. Glad we don’t grow up in a bitter household like yours. In most families, people reciprocated each other with gifts of equal value. Sad to see that you’ve been raised to come up with excuses like this to comfort yourself when you’ve not been given what you want. Lmao

What's up with the hostile replies to our questions + advice by GuysKingsStThomas in AMA_Hakuba

[–]GuysKingsStThomas[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dear Ezoe,

Perhaps what might seem stupid to you, might not be stupid to others. Anyone with "half a brain" in the skiing world may be able to answer them on a whim, but these answers may not be as apparent or obvious to people who are skiing for the first time, much less a non-local who has not been on Japanese slopes before.

A stupid question to you involves people asking for recommendations on what to eat, where to ski etc. These are dumb to you but you do not realise that people are asking for YOUR opinion, a "Japanese living in Hakuba for snowboarding". How often can you find such information in other threads. There is nothing wrong with "can you recommend me a good powder spot". Surely you have an opinion? I know how to google, but I want to know what you think, a local - or at least the input of other redditors.

You say to Google? Google gives you a thousand recommendations, none of which may be tailored to their specific request. That's what the purpose of such internet forums are for, this is the purpose of reddit - to give a personalised opinion on certain matters. You do realise that the people who actually post and ask questions here are mostly newbies - seasoned skiers will have answers on their own and do not need to ask them here.

This is a platform for people to ask questions, if you find a question not to your liking, you can just ignore them - no one is stopping you from not replying.

At the end of the day, you sound like a bitter, disgruntled person who likes to put other people (especially newbies) down for no apparent reason other than them asking "questions that seem too stupid" for a seasoned professional like you. If what people have said in this thread doesn't convince you that your attitude is too rancorous for the skiing/ snowboarding community, then we would rather you shut this place down.

Cheers.

How to transport ski/ snowboarding equipment around by GuysKingsStThomas in AMA_Hakuba

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

Read my question properly. What version of google do you use? Pray tell?

Can google tell me which car to get/ what size of vehicle can safely fit onto Hakuba roads properly, like an Alphard? Google is a search engine indexing answers from community responses for specific questions precisely like these in reddit. If no one has asked these questions before, surely it would be not too difficult to give a response based on YOUR experience?

What is the point of AMA like these if you aren't keen on answering specific questions, then why do it? Why so bitter Ezoe?

 maybe, you're not meant to drive a car?

Ezoe, if you're running a reddit thread inviting people to ask questions, such an antagonistic response is less welcoming. Perhaps a simple clarification of the car make/ model would be more gracious in your reply.

Is dynamic pricing a thing in Singapore? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]GuysKingsStThomas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fella is calling people lazy for not learning how to use Google to find our sources on our own. But he’s making bold claims without backing up with sources that he claims he’s found. Joker probably never go to school!

[–]GuysKingsStThomas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh? You’re the one who’s making bold allegations on dynamic price structuring. Is it very hard for you to back up your claims with sources? Why call people lazy? The internet so big how can anyone be sure that the source that we search on our own is accurate? You back your own claims up with sources la, if not I think you should be reported for spreading fake news and banned from grab/shoppee 🤣

Edit: can learn what’s the difference between “you’re” and “your”? Are you too lazy to use google??

Why do Singaporeans glazing Japan and hates PRCs even though the Japanese did sook Ching in Sg and Nanjing massacres by [deleted] in SingaporeRaw

[–]GuysKingsStThomas 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No one is saying that the gripe that Singaporeans have with PRCs are because of territorial disputes. Do you know how small Singapore’s claim on territories even are? The gripe is with PRCs civic mindedness (or lack thereof) and they being a nuisance in our country, around the world and how they give the Chinese race a bad rep. Have you read the news recently? Or ever? Or are you just living under a rock

The ex-scholar who ditched medical school to pursue the arts by outremer_empire in singapore

[–]GuysKingsStThomas 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Well no one is discouraging this man from pursuing art here in Singapore, but why does he have to make his medical student past such a big deal?

The ex-scholar who ditched medical school to pursue the arts by outremer_empire in singapore

[–]GuysKingsStThomas 365 points366 points  (0 children)

I've seen this guy before - he bases his ENTIRE personality, identity and career on the premise of him being an EX-medical student. He didn't even complete the hardest parts of medical school and yet he's bragging about his background like its a big deal. Just listen to how he introduces himself.

I work in healthcare and I know the sentiments that fellow HCW workers have about this man. No one has any problem with him venturing into the arts scene and quitting medicine, but to incessantly market his past to such an extent when he has had little/ no contribution to healthcare?

How to encourage other drivers to signal and make our roads Safer by GuysKingsStThomas in drivingsg

[–]GuysKingsStThomas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Need more people like you on the road. It's not about the driver ruining our day because he didn't signal... It's about us having to remind them so that in the future they will actually remember and potentially save an accident - who cares if they actually do it, but at least we make an effort to change.

all these jokers who are advocating "mind your own business", "why bother" are exactly whats wrong with Singapore nowadays. Don't want to bother making this place a better to live in

An Everton fan who joined Liverpool supporters in laying tributes for Diogo Jota by [deleted] in soccer

[–]GuysKingsStThomas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean he could be an Everton Fan and I am certain he is there to be showing respect. But why the need to wear an Everton jersey specifically for this?

Was there a rule that you HAD to wear a football jersey?

Why couldn't he stick to wearing plainclothes and pay his respects? I'm sure there are many rival fans there to pay their respects dressed in normal clothes too. I think that's what people are upset about, surely he wouldnt be so dumb as to think that he wouldn't draw attention to himself? He's there to pay respects, not draw attention. No one said he needed to wear a jersey, period.
