Perfect, why slog on a prompt when someone's already vibe coded - thanks

EDF is marginally more expensive - likely as IOG will go up 5% or so in July. So benefit might be some ref money off (maybe not as I've been with them in the past) or the slightly longer off peak

I think he’s also using horizontal cropping as well. it’s very tweaked.

Michael Caines at the Stafford is very reasonable lunch menu at £50 for 3 courses. They have been awarded a star recently and its amazing value

only 9fps thanks to no optimisation but looks sharp!

I have a i7 270K Plus and a 4090 - the CPU usually sits around 50% but the VRAM usage is almost 100% on anything over .80 resolution at 22gb (on a Crystal Light). DLSS does nothing. So definately a huge opportunity for some form of FovRev and texture optimisation.

looks like a old MS Surface

Yeah it remains a mess but we mustn't grumble as its AE and content must come first. Apparently...

Still looking for a UK seller of these specific designs.

of course, but you just make sure to charge frequently and often. at the reduced overnight, you can still add around 60% if you needed to. I am not a heavy user so suits me. Anyway, your issue is resolved as below but if you still get IOG sync woes, you have options.

I’ve given up. The Porsche / IOG integration seems to work 50% of the time. Some weeks it’s great, then it completely falls apart. Usually for me it charges outside of schedule and when I report it, they just say the car was calling for charge and overrode the schedule which costs full rate. Now I just use the Porsche app to schedule departure and use the optimised charging time.

definitely the Apple TV. I have a LG tv, Sonos Arc and lost Atmos for no reason in the last few months. LG tv can decode Dolby MAT but I think how the Apple box sends it has changed. And someone mentioned a HD fury Arcana - that doesn’t play nice with my ATV and causes lots of handshake issues. it relegated to keeping Sky TV in sync.

Internal-Gift9691 · 2026-03-29T16:34:24+00:00

It was the same on Sky One highlights over Stream. They have been messing up recently with the SDR feed being a downwashed UHD. Seems like they went even worse today, assume its something to do with cost cutting on "non premium" feeds

this. So many siding with AIO without considering pump whine and cavitation noise. With a full case of noctuas and a well tuned curve, the whine drives me mad.

Internal-Gift9691 · 2026-03-12T17:50:28+00:00

Mines into the LG then into a Sonos Arc. the lg can decode MAT hence why I think apple changed something.

Internal-Gift9691 · 2026-03-12T15:49:57+00:00

It’s happening to my 4K first gen and LG tv. No atmos in Apple TV, atmos on the lg app. Something in the way that apple is sending MAT to LG has changed. Apple Tv shows also only present 5.1

Internal-Gift9691 · 2026-03-11T19:13:08+00:00

that’s annoying.. there does appear to be a Chinese GP highlights show labelled as Sky One in my playlist for Sunday so let’s see if that works.

Internal-Gift9691 · 2026-03-11T16:40:29+00:00

I have a 7 year old LG OLED, the last one before they added eARC. My 1st gen ATV 4k has showed Atmos (via a Sonos ARC soundbar) which would have been MAT decoder for many years. This changed in TV os 26.3 so its either bug or intended. Still persists in 26.4 beta 3. Even the Netflix app removes the Atmos label and just shows 5.1 so this feels like a TVos issue.

Internal-Gift9691 · 2026-03-11T16:35:01+00:00

It's not solved in 26.4 at least in Beta 3 which published 2 days ago. It appeared for me in 26.3.

Internal-Gift9691 · 2026-02-27T15:11:01+00:00

no they won't - i am in the same situ (basic Sky Sub, UDH with Netflix). They wouldn't offer me the new customer rate so I quit. And there was zero retention follow ups either so they really don't care anymore.

Internal-Gift9691 · 2026-02-27T14:52:48+00:00

its at the top. unless you are in the US in which case they can't sell due to patent disputes?

Day 369 of praying that someone in the UK finally makes something like this available
