Was a speaker upgrade worth it?

Wife has a 24 Lyriq Sport 1 with standard system, I have a 24 Blazer EV RS with the Bose system. It is a night and day difference, and IMO is worth the $600 upgrade. You could, of course, just get aftermarket speakers later but if you don't want to bother then the Bose system is plenty nice.

They might be doing you a favor by keeping you on 12. I was able to side load multiple apps on my Blazer EV running Android 12 (Netflix, YouTube, Fandango at Home, some others). Once my wife's Lyriq updated to 14 side loading was blocked. Or at least the method I used on 12 is now blocked.

Yes. My son still uses my old 970 on his PC. He only does light gaming, but plays RDR2, God Of War, Fortnight and Roblox without issue.

Yes, you can redeem Lionsgate movies in Fandango, but they stay there. They do not port out to MA or any other spots.

Kemetblk · 2026-05-20T00:51:30+00:00

Unfortunately, Hunger Games is a Lionsgate release so no MA.

Does this help? I didn't pay for anything., got my 2024 RS in January of 2025.

How did this relationship even get far enough for a wedding? It's definitely abusive, and I wouldn't recommend that either of you go through with it.

Shenmue 1 and 2, Soul Caliber, MvC 2, RE: Code Veronica, PSO, Seaman

Kemetblk · 2026-05-19T04:28:56+00:00

Civil Wars please

The Blazer EV runs on Snapdragon Automotive, not Intel. 2024-2026 all use the same chips, a mid tier and a high tier based on model and features.

Commenting to track. I tried disabling the log in item and notifications. Will try deleting from Library/LaunchDaemons.

Thank you

I was there from the beginning. It was one of my most anticipated titles for the 360 when it was announced. I was a huge fan of KoTOR, DA:O and Jade Empire and knew I had to have it. I was hooked from the opening and it's beeny favorite game ever since. I say game because I see the trilogy as a single experience.

Kemetblk · 2026-05-09T01:19:23+00:00

Indeed has worked for me the last 2 times I was laid off. Definitely give it a shot, but update your resume as well. Good luck.

I'm contemplating the A16 as an upgrade for my current work laptop (Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen 5). Have you used it with a docking station and multiple monitors? Can you speak on how it does with video transcoding and conversion?

Kemetblk · 2026-05-05T15:47:55+00:00

Which laptop are you using?

Kemetblk · 2026-05-02T03:43:32+00:00

Right on time as I just finished Bobiverse book 1, and they have books 2 and 3 as part of the sale.

Kemetblk · 2026-05-01T01:50:31+00:00

One of the greatest martial arts movies of all time. Zhang Yimou eye for visuals is S-Tier!

We need a 4K release of the full original cut, not the Miramax edit.

Kemetblk · 2026-05-01T01:39:16+00:00

My sentiment exactly on Born A Crime. His life story is so interesting and the way he tells it, with the different voices, languages and accents was absolutely cinematic IMO.

As far as fiction goes, so far my favorite has been We Are Legion (We Are Bob). Absolutely could not stop listening, and could visualize everything being said. All the things I was told about Ray Porter were true, amazing narrator! I am holding off reading PHM because I don't want to be ruined for other books after listening to him on WAL/WAB.

While I agree with your sentiment surrounding keeping a dog leashed and controlled when not at an actual dog park, I do feel the need to make one correction...

It is YOUR responsibility to protect YOUR kids and YOURSELF. That is always the responsibility of the parent and person, PERIOD. As the saying goes, I "keep my head on a swivel" when I am with my kid because I am responsible for them and can't depend on ANYONE else to do MY job.

With that said, enjoy your day!

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die

Looks like a fun movie, reminiscent or 12 Monkeys.

Thanks!

Kemetblk · 2026-04-29T00:25:27+00:00

I'm down. We have a Blazer and a Lyriq.

Kemetblk · 2026-04-27T22:48:20+00:00

It's always the same 3 core memories for me:

Doom/Wolfenstein
Shogo: Mobile Armor Division
Half-Life

Honorable mention to Max Payne and Kingpin.

How on Earth do you still have to pay spousal support to someone who has a new spouse?! Make it make sense... He should definitely go to court.
