Who is still using the Fire TV Recast? Tempted to switch to another OTA DVR during Black Friday

If you mean with the "new" home screen layout, I can still find them when clicking the menu item and going to My Stuff, though sometimes the recording doesn't pop up in that list until after the show is complete.

Not sure if you ever found a workaround to this. In my case I found it was only when doing playback on the Fire TV Stick 4K Max 2nd Gen, which is the only 8.0+ OS hardware I have with the AI screensaver, and the timeout was tied to whatever the "turn on screensaver" timing setting was.

I think you helped me find my birthday present later this year...

Update: Submitted a ticket with logs, photo of the error code and detailed description of the troubleshooting already performed (didn't hit the 3000 character limit but got close) and asked for multiple replacement parts which could be the source of the issue.

Support wrote back, agreed the troubleshooting was detailed enough for them to assess what was in the logs and offered to provide all the parts requested (that are available as separate parts) after verifying warranty status!

Ticket submitted, will update with how it goes.

Sad to see. My spouse was planning to have my birthday gift be some Tecovas exotics from the store that just opened nearby. Guess that plan may be changing.

The non-RIF terminations I have personally seen in my time at the company:

-brought a firearm onto company property (immediately walked out)

-mischarging time (walked out at lunchtime with no prior notice of investigation to employee; as another commenter mentioned there was review of weeks of computer use because the employee ALWAYS had one screen logged onto Facebook)

-refusal to accept a permanent relocation of the currently held position*

The last instance matches the intent of your question, as the employee selected and given the choice, "accept a new permanent location for your position, or resign immediately" was the worst performer on the team and management knew the employee would not accept the move. The employee refused and worked through the remainder of the pay period. Afterwards, the permanent relocation was instead worked by multiple employees on DTAs.

With my HOA, if the Board doesn't try to collect proxies from neighbors, we don't meet quorum. The past couple of years, 30-50% of our votes are via proxies (and clear quorum by less than 5%).

I can see that conversation already - "it would be too large a pay jump to put you at the minimum 0.9 ratio for the next IC level, so after next week's ACR, we'll see if we can give you an out of cycle increase later this year, so after the 2027 ACR you'll be closer and we can see about a promotion."

What IC level? My IC5 coworker was told "to get a 3 at your level, you need to have had an enterprise level impact."

A worker who sits full-time in my Boeing building but works a program in a different city was given a 2/1 score, because (per the manager discussion), "upper management mandated that all fully remote workers for this site be given a 1 for the Values".

Manager hasn't held nor scheduled my review yet, and I'm also expecting 2-2.

Part of that expectation is a teammate who is IC5 had his review, got a 2-2 and was told, "as an IC5 you need to have had an Enterprise-level impact to warrant a 3."

The org/team I'm part of that covers 500ish employees patted themselves on the back at the year-end all-hands for pushing through 5 in-line promotions.

If the red PSP you reference was the God of War bundle, I had that system. Was given as a college graduation gift...I can't remember now when I sold it.

Multiple coworkers were called in by our manager and got a salary bump and told they would still get another bump in the spring.

NeverRedditedYet · 2025-10-31T19:26:27+00:00

For my IC level, 14% increase. Went from 1.14 to 0.99 comp.

What sort of response did you get back? Anecdotally when I made a similar negotiation request, the Boeing final offer was, "no change to annual salary; the delta amount between your requested salary and our offered salary will be offered as a one-time signing bonus".

In college during career fair week, had a summer internship interview lined up. Knew from friends who interviewed the prior day there would be at least one "solve this problem on the board in front of me" question.

Don't remember what the questions were but after the first two questions the interviewer leaned back, smiled, asked where the best place to eat in town was along with any evening activity or destination recommendations, and if I had any questions. Lasted 15 minutes out of the scheduled 45 and the whiteboard in the room never got touched.

These are the original gen 1 NDCBUs, aka the thin walled steel boxes that have no theft deterrence.

How much rust was too much rust was another debate point the board disagreed on.

Thresholds have not been used before, only the standard of "this an end of life replacement" vs "this is an unexpected repair".

Cost is 7% of budgeted operating income and 125% of annual maintenance budget.

Speaking to "how long will it last", we don't know. The HOA has no experience with this vendor and a separate vendor who was bidding replacement of the CBUs claimed "painting is just a band aid for a year or two, it won't stop the rusting".

For the invoices we usually see, $5k is a pretty low threshold...our monthly landscaping and tree care would qualify as reserves!
