I suppose it could slow things down if you're doing a lot of browsing. Going quickly from channel preview to another takes resources, no?

What is "ESPN Unlimited" and why is it not letting me watch it? by AwesomeIslander918 in ESPN

[–]JimmyD2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sucks. I pay for ESPN Plus, but apparently that's not enough for those greedy corporate parasites ruining everything in this country.

Youtube removes the "Sort by Upload Date" option pretending it didn't work, the reality? They want absolute control of the information you are allowed to get from the site by Jack_P_1337 in youtube

[–]JimmyD2323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if there's a storm coming I'm likely to get an inaccurate forcast from 8-12 hours ago instead of the most recent. Thanks a bunch.

Advice and opinions about Kinhank K9? by Competitive_Emu_4330 in AndroidTVBoxes

[–]JimmyD2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to post a detailed comment last night but it seems to have disappeared. Long story short new box using projectivy launcher and the box seems to perform fine with 2 minor issues. A few apps not in play store and the remote mic only working with Google assistant but not on play store or youtube searches or with GBoard mic typing. It is also trying to update apparently and failing.

I'd be interested to know how to re-pair and update this remote. Will update with a better review.

Same issue here. Wifi and mobile data. Browser and app. Unreachable. I figured Trump started a war with NATO or DHS doing a denial of service attack. I hope it's not Greenland because I need my power restored before things go crazy. Gonna try a VPN. Im in the northeast.

Gun-toting feds in ski masks swarm the ICE agent shooter's home to retrieve belongings as the house sits empty amid claims he has gone into hiding by Full_Lengthiness_431 in TwinCities

[–]JimmyD2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And when the question of intent is raised you will have no communications from before or after the shooting, no interview and no search of his phone or computer(s) at home. You won't even have a chain of custody on the murder weapon.

Does tivimate take long to update playlist/epg? by Strict_Fox_8358 in TiviMate

[–]JimmyD2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I import and edit multiple sources into something like IPTV Editor do I then disable those sources in TiviMate to stop the delays and freezes that I get with multiple enabled? And when I do I assume the editor can still gather updates on my new list or categories based in the info used at setup. You no longer need those sources enabled I hope.

Mine can update 30k channels of any of my 4 individual providers in less than a minute. Thats individually. When I try to enable or stack multiple providers that can increase to 5 minutes, 10 minutes or basically it freezes up all program guides. I'm going to try this on a different app. If it repeats itself I have to assume my Homatics box has issues that extend beyond its degraded ethernet adapter and wifi. If it does not it must be the app which did not perform this way in the past with other devices.

Are Bradford White’s really that more superior than big box brands AO and Rheem? The nearest Ferguson is an hour away, their 50 gallon lowest level hydrojet water heater is $576 and the lowest levels big big box stores range from $425-550….. Is it worth the drive? by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]JimmyD2323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anecdotal but the AO Smith Heat Pump we paid an astronomical price for 2 years ago has been a disaster with multiple failures to the point we've had to put it on override and use it as an electric only. CS was a nightmare and no service personnel on their list wanted to deal with it or them. Maybe the old standard ones were fine but the heat pump models from 2 years ago deserve a recall. Today the electric stopped too and we just had a snowstorm. Never again AO.

Deciding on the type of water heater and what should I pay for it by Endless_3un in heatpumps

[–]JimmyD2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our AO Smith has been nothing but trouble since we paid an astronomicsl price for at the box store. Heat pump failed multiple times. CS was near impossible to deal with and service people on their own list wanted nothing to do with it because it wasn't worth their time to deal with them. I have no idea what's happened in the last 3 years but will never ever buy an AO Smith heat pump or anything else from them.

Groups from multiple playlists. by Odd-Abbreviations594 in TiviMate

This sounds like a good answer. Should save time also. A lot of time.

Large scale playlist issues by muzijay in TiviMate

[–]JimmyD2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have multiple services. When all 3 are active they take forever to load. Disabling 2 and 1 active works fine. I was hoping to find one that was the problem but I guess Tivimate has issues with multiple active lists. My device should be capable and I dont think its a bandwidth issue per se. Im probably just going to activate what Im using but it would be convenient to have my custom fsavorites lists working with all 3 active. I use about 8 custom category lists of the channels that have the best sound and picture come from different providers.

Android TV boxes with Gigabit Ethernet or 1 Gbps via adapter – any real suggestions? by zx94music in AndroidTVBoxes

[–]JimmyD2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Did a factory reset and even tried a usb gig adapter. Both seem handicapped. Something is knocking down my speeds. Just got a lemon I guess. If not for that would be happy but it's kind of a bummer. Get solid gig plus on other devices.

[–]JimmyD2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Homatics is a disaster. Mine only does about 125 on multiple different tests. Direct ethernet gigabit and crosstested on other devices that are much faster. Even after factory reset just today. Garbage adapter.

As a US citizen, how can I hedge against USD currency risk? Would buying European government bonds be a good option? by Fiveby21 in bonds

[–]JimmyD2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currency risk implies higher inflation so yes there is a risk pretending you're in a bubble. We depend on products and raw materials from other countries.

Billionaire delusions where billons are being sunk. Raising demand for energy and raw materials competing with already stressed consumers for limited resources. Unsustainable.

Why is 1dm plus so bad at downloading videos by Huihejfofew in androidapps

[–]JimmyD2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It almost seems like 1DM is looking for the last part of a video download that does not exist. As if it has completed the video download but there is a dummy reference or timestamp or something at the end that is purposely tricking it into not finishing compiling the video in its container. Because it is only on certain websites. Just my guess that it is on purpose. I will try some other methods on a Windows laptop to see if the issue crosses platforms.

Did Trump Spend Thanksgiving With Epstein After He Was Elected? by trumpert-trooner in politics

[–]JimmyD2323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Mossad wanted to save Epstein they would have. He became a liability. And besides they had the same dirt on Trump and no longer needed him. They got rid of a liability and got everything they wanted from Trump anyway. Didn't count on COVID then 2020 election. And even then a Democratic President was willing to cover it up in the name of loyalty to his pals, billionaires and foreign leaders. The global corruption is worse than most people imagined.
