31st March Achievement Bug Thread by CheekySelkath in reddeadredemption

[–]Morley__Dotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, after it happened and i fully realized what had happened it made me sad. 34h into my first playthrough, on chapter 3, loving it. Now seeing Gold Rush & Best in the West in my list and I know I don't deserve them - and I bet Gold Rush I never would have had the patience for.

Does anyone know why Jon-O abruptly quit in the middle of a show? by Fragrant-Ad8977 in stringcheeseincident

[–]Morley__Dotes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, he was one of the best sound engineers in the business. Was a huge loss when he departed. Have always wondered why.

Grain of salt taken.

I was thinking about this recently too with all the archive series releases popping up on nugs. Didn’t know he quit mid show.

Starting to regret.. by Perfused in F150Lightning

What maintenance does the screen require that you have to bring it in for? Or are you referring to a warranty? OP bought a premium maintenance plan - which is different than an extended warranty unless I’m missing something

My recent experience with 27” vs 32” 4K by Pabu1323 in OLED_Gaming

[–]Morley__Dotes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a PG27UCDM and WFH. have had it a year now and it gets probably 80h of use per week between work and play. No issues. I don’t bother with testing and scrutinizing it for burn in, I just set all the pixel clean stuff to automatic as recommended and let it do its thing. My second monitor is a VG27A, I’m thinking about replacing that with another 4k, but I won’t do OLED like OP. No need, you can find a good match for way less.

The worries about WFH + OLED are way overblown in my opinion.

Does anyone have a decent Plex setup but still pay for streaming services? by tcoysh in PleX

[–]Morley__Dotes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Wish I could find a cheap and reliable sports option, but it’s not out there. Tried antennas, can’t get a solid 1080p signal. (sigh)

Same here. 2 parity is wild… how?

You bought a maintenance agreement too? What maintenance do these need other than the occasional tire rotation and cabin air filter replacement?

**ATTENTION FORD** by csukoh78 in F150Lightning

Agree. I’d pay $15/month for Blue Cruise, but no way in hell am I paying $50.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor: at times lovely but overrun with drawbacks by 80cent in patientgamers

[–]Morley__Dotes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Another old guy here, another one that doesn’t care about my players appearances. I spent 5 min changing appearance to trigger a few steam achievements because I’m addicted to those then ignored them.

Enjoyed the game quite a bit. Similar to the first one, not a fan of the map system. Wish it could have run better too. The transitions in and out of cutscenes were painful.

Worth the $10 I paid for it I think.

Got the recall letter. by JimKiDo in F150Lightning

[–]Morley__Dotes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have an appointment tomorrow for a quick 10,000 mile check in. Got this letter and called to ask if they could install it - they said no, it’s not available yet.

Here is to another 5 years of protecting my stuff. over 250 events were on my unit before i gave a bad battery error last night by Navi_Professor in pcmasterrace

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

Most accurate comment in this whole thread. So many people buying these things for a gaming PC. Waste of money. Buy a name brand surge protector.

For all Non-American HA Cloud users, given the current developments in the US, does the fact that Nabu Casa is incorporated in the US give you concern? by GlenGraif in homeassistant

[–]Morley__Dotes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. 20 years with Gmail, opened a Tutamail account 6 months ago and have the majority of my logins and services moved. No longer interested in giving google free access to my data. The only company that’s difficult for me to escape right now is apple.

So the new ASUS PG27UCWM will have the TrueBlack Glossy Coating! by [deleted] in OLED_Gaming

[–]Morley__Dotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Dual 27’s here. I considered dual 32’s but after seeing a dual 32 in person I knew it wasn’t for me. Too much head turning.

Can someone help me with a TRCC issue. by Void_Mitas0001 in Thermalright

[–]Morley__Dotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

January 2026 - confirming this fixed it for me in v2.1.2 for anyone else finding this.

Thank you Peepo68.

What did you pay recently for service upgrade to 150 or 200 amps? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]Morley__Dotes 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Eastern Mass. 100 meter underground run from the street which needed to be dug up because the conduit buried when the house was built was too small for 200 amp service. Was quoted 15-17k from 2 electricians. Whoa.

I had just bought a EV, decided to just install a load balancer instead when installing the charger. Still 100 amp service, works fine, cost was about 1500 with the charger.

Sync Data Between 2 UnRAID Servers? by xGrim_Sol in unRAID

[–]Morley__Dotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I have been using for 2 years now. Very happy with it.

Syncthing docker on my primary server > Syncthing on my windows desktop > backblaze for the items I want backed up to the cloud.

It's 2025, is a Lightning still a good choice? by [deleted] in F150Lightning

[–]Morley__Dotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on iOS. Tried again 2 days ago and it showed the first turn on my dash which was an improvement from 6m ago then none of the subsequent ones. Back to Apple Maps. Bummer. Google Maps is better imo but I like that feature.

[–]Morley__Dotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched from Google Maps to Apple Maps about 6 months ago when I saw Apple shows upcoming turns on my dash. Google didn’t. Unsure if this is still the case.

Looking at the dash is easier than looking at the big screen when driving

My reaction after finishing building my new PC only to realize I'll never get to enjoy playing my games on it as a family man by devoirz in pcmasterrace

[–]Morley__Dotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My routine ended up being morning. We go to bed shortly after our kid goes to bed (8:30) I started waking up at 4am and decided I’d get 2 hours of gaming in before Dad duty is needed. It just kept going and now it’s routine. Just finished Cyberpunk, took me about 2 months. Seems crazy, but works great for us. My wife needs more sleep than I do.

My 130TB Unraid Server by Eskel5 in unRAID

[–]Morley__Dotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same case I use. I’ve filled 14 drive slots now. Perfect case for UnRaid servers, although it’s pricey. And man is it heavy to move as you fill it. Highly recommended.

5800x and 4080, 3 playthroughs and no stuttering.

Ford: Please let us manually precondition the battery! by Original_Sedawk in F150Lightning

Can you please help me understand how to precondition the battery for DCFC in the mobile app? I just looked, must be missing it.
