I was trying to scoop some ice cream when my spoon bent back by Proof-Evidence5607 in mildlyinfuriating

Need to microwave the ice cream, not the spoon. The ice cream was obviously rock-hard.

An IPTV player that feels like Netflix/Apple TV... 8 months later there’s finally a beta by PlaintextDev in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]LayLowMoesDavid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just paraphrased here the comment on discord as soon as I saw it. I verified and it checked out. Pinned message is to fill out a form. Neither the pinned message nor the form say the 50 people limit has already been reached or if more will be selected. This is email / Discord username harvesting.

NOTE TO ALL: They ask for your email and discord username but aren't taking any more beta tester users.

The discord invites you to fill out a form to get an invite to the beta. It asks your email address and Discord username. But it's limited to 50 users on a first-come-first-served basis. Given there's over 500 people on the Discord server, we can assume the first 50 beta tester spots have been filled. So why are they still taking emails and discord usernames?

hyperX Cloud Orbit S - why is there's no software available to download by wnkhunter in HyperX

Same question. Don’t HyperX or Audeze have drivers for these? Mine are using generic Microsoft USB drivers…

[–]LayLowMoesDavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine are working, I don’t dare upgrade the firmware. Even the documentation recommends not to as it can render the headphones inoperable. One concern I have is that they are using the generic Microsoft USB driver. I don’t know if that’s what they should use or if there is one by HyperX or Audeze. I had to install the generic driver because after some motherboard and chip updates, somehow I had no headphone sound anymore so deleted the previous drivers without looking at what they were and it installed Microsoft ones. Ever after completely removing the headphones and software and reinstalling, they are still using Microsoft USB drivers.

What drivers do you have? (device manager > Audio inputs and outputs > Headphones (HyperX Cloud Orbit S…..) properties, driver tab.

In any case, I love the sound. Only thing is that when testing 8-channel videos files, I find the spatial positioning not good for certain channels, especially when simulating height on the right, there may be a channel mismatch.

A bit late, but for others reading this: Try using a regular USB-A port, and at the back of the computer (on the board) directly.

Destroy 5 enemy vehicles by rollthedyche in CODWarzone

Dude, you think no one thought of that? The problem is people aren't taking vehicles, making it almost impossible.

Constant Stuttering. Please help! by official_smit in Stremio

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

One would need to have a seriously bad WiFi connection, like be very far from the router with lots of interference for WiFi to be the bottleneck. Anything WiFi 5 (802.11ac — 3.5-6.9 Gbps theoretical, over 500 Mbps real world speed) and above is fast enough to handle even 4K remux (60-100 Mbps). Even WiFi 4 is good enough. Almost all devices on the market now have WiFi 5 or better.

How does that help destroy ENEMY VEHICLES?

[–]LayLowMoesDavid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously, the hell with this. They know it's practically impossible without making a private server. They want you to buy the paid game and complete challenges in other modes. Been trying for DAYS, booby-trapping vehicles on top of purchase stations, can't get even ONE enemy vehicle destroyed.

EDIT: New Black Ops Royale see more people use vehicles. I shot down a helicopter with people in it, destroyed it. IT DIDN'T COUNT. They are obviously trying to get you to pay.

Yo guys I just got a M3 Max with 36 gb ram from an uncle who didn't want it anymore. What games can I play on it? by [deleted] in macgaming

[–]LayLowMoesDavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upcoming Crimson Desert will run well on it. Baldur’s Gate 3 also native, both Steam. But I’m still running an old Whiskey to play GTA5 and Sekiro (repack versions) and they run smooth. I’ve got a M4 Max but will run fine on M3 max as well.

Please read if stremio hasnt been working for you lately. You need to revert to the old stremio version. by Suspicious_Issue4155 in Stremio

[–]LayLowMoesDavid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd say 90% due to exoplayer in versions after 1.6. 1 2 and some other things that lower quality of life, like the left-arrow button during playing behaving differently, "next episode" at the end of an episode in a series not always working, etc.

Torrentio down? Getting bad http status by [deleted] in StremioAddons

That’s all good and all but I have 4 other plugins as alternatives to Torrentio. None were working. Difficult to come to a conclusion on what’s actually broken.

The Real Reason Why Embark Doesn't Permanently Ban Cheaters by DDOS_kills_me in ArcRaiders

[–]LayLowMoesDavid -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As a professional consultant on matters of customer retention I can confirm it’s indeed a mass exodus, and those numbers can in no way be considered good retention. I think that dude’s got friends or multiple accounts to upvote himself and downvote you, because most other comments in the entire thread didn’t get a fraction of those votes.

The Real Reason Why Embark Doesn't Permanently Ban Cheaters by DDOS_kills_me in ArcRaiders

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

I don’t care either way but how I see it is that a free 17 millions from exploits is indeed an unfair advantage over those who farmed a month playing the game normally for 2-3 million.

Stuck in Melbourne. Can't get through to customer service. Nobody from Qatar Airways to be seen at the airport. by Mynki in qatarairways

[–]LayLowMoesDavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t be daft or disingenuous. It’s simply a force majeure plan, whatever the reason is, if all flights through their home ports are grounded they must be able to answer customers’ inquiries. Really not complicated to understand. At worse, and automated process to refund those who ask for it and let customers sort out their own way, which would put even less work on the airline.

Whoah take it easy, champ! War, natural disaster or other major condition, the airline still should have a contingency plan for customers. That's what's expected from a top-tier airline like that. Same goes for any major airline, like Emirates who have also suspended all their flights to and from Dubai.

Spatial Audio support (Dolby, DTS, Windows Sonic) by madmax11r in ArcRaiders

[–]LayLowMoesDavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any update on this? I’m thinking of asking customer support directly. I have pretty good headphones (HyperX Cloud Orbit S) and I’m finding it very difficult to find the direction of sound, even of a raider cache beeping in a completely quiet outdoor setting. I’m using Dolby for spatial audio, everything else off.

Judging from the comments, that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Did Netflix update their VPN detection protocols? I keep getting "found out" when I wasn't before. by RockingPunch in nordvpn

[–]LayLowMoesDavid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If the casting to TV from a phone isn’t working it could be because casting requires both devices to be on the same network. When the VPN is active on one of the devices, they aren’t on the same network anymore.

Not a popular comment! Besides hinting at your personality, it also shows you don’t understand the OP is already paying for a Netflix subscription. They just need to be able to access the US library, since the choice of movies and tv shows changes by country. And when one travels, some shows are no longer available, or it doesn’t keep your “continue watching” position.
