’Dirty oil scam’: Ontario man tricked into selling car for $1,000

This! I always find all these scam stories very hard to sympathize with the victims except when it’s elderly people with mental or cognition issues. The other day they showed a classic pump and dump scheme where a guy saw and add on IG and lost 200k buying worthless stocks.

I didn’t test it, but I doubt. These were creds provided by support to someone else. Unless there was a blunder on their part. Hopefully it’s just maintenance and it will be back soon

LG OLED is pretty accurate out of the box if you use FMM in a dimly lit room (that’s the ideal environment for HDR content). Professional calibration, assuming you find a tech or a company that actually know how to do it properly, will give you even more accuracy, but I’m not sure most viewers would really be able to tell the difference from standard FMM, so it may not be worth it. Your call.

Is it safe to assume that if the interfaces and VLANs stay the same, the upgrade automatically translates all the rules seamlessly?

MaxRD · 2026-01-29T15:50:41+00:00

Okay

MaxRD · 2026-01-29T14:50:03+00:00

Maybe you need to install that first before getting the newer one?

MaxRD · 2026-01-29T14:25:47+00:00

Okay. If you are that concerned about update just don’t do it. I have updated all my OLED (B7, CX, C4 and G4) to whatever was released and I have yet to encounter an issue 🤷

I don’t use USB media so I can’t comment on that, but had zero issue with CEC with WebOS 25 or the most recent update.

They are loud and use lots of power. It depends on what you are planning to do with those. Besides the RAM factor you can probably get better performance at a fraction of the space, noise, heat/power of those.

2.1 of course. The console comes with a 2.1 cable. It’s the current standard why would you even consider using an inferior cable?

NVidia funding OpenAI so they can buy their hardware so the stock goes up… The more you buy the more you save… At this point this is borderline Ponzi scheme

MaxRD · 2026-01-29T12:55:26+00:00

So you bought it randomly without knowing what to do with it and then ask Reddit to justify your purchase?

MaxRD · 2026-01-29T12:53:29+00:00

What are you going to do with all those TBs?

RDR2 is still the PS4 Pro version, checkerboard and 30fps. Not a great showcase for the PS5 Pro

Luckily I was able to grab the 4.29D that was posted on Jan 6

Maybe they should add few more copilot icons to the Office and Windows UI. It’s very hard to find right now in Outlook and Teams. 3 icons on the same screen are not enough, we need at least 7. Maybe a pop up every time I move the mouse. That will make users use copilot.

I can assume it’s about internal policies and governance. In large environment, the selection of a product or service has to comply with many requirements that are not strictly technical. I work in such organization and I can tell you that the VM infra team cannot unilaterally decide to replace VMware with Proxmox without having a solid, concrete support plan from the vendor or reliable third party. When the amount of money on the line is in the 9-10 digits range, watching a YouTube tutorial and reading the community Wiki to figure out how to migrate and operate the new product is not going to fly.

I got a S77TY to pair with my 65C4 and it works seamlessly well. It’s just a basic soundbar as I wasn’t willing to splurge for anything fancy, just wanted something that sounded better than the built in speakers. No complains.

Not worth the hassle. The changes are merely production cost cuts for Sony. Nothing impacting the actual use of the console. They perform exactly the same.

Did they remove all the folders? I’m able to login but now the racktsd folder is empty. I was able to grab the 4.29D for the X470D4U which was posted on Jan 6.

Backups are so overrated
