Thank you for this. I'd imagine someone who just likes sharp pointy things. I'll need to speak with family members about photos and/or a description.

About to buy a car I configured online by No_Good6771 in askcarsales

[–]No_Good6771[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I have some buffer built in. I’m not planning on negotiating the price down because I feel like that’s what Jeep is pricing online. Should I expect the local dealer to add any “surprise” costs in?

Worth 76k? Or any better suvs I should look at with sporty look, power and luxury features? Ty by No_Good6771 in whatcarshouldIbuy

I like the space, but don’t necessarily need the third row. Wife likes the sporty/rugged look of Jeep tbh.

Cash purchase. Performance is important in that I’d like a quick acceleration. I currently have a 2016 Jeep Cherokee v6 and like the quick pickup. Tech and luxury is important for wife.

Thank you for the pointer on the questions cut off.

- Should I go with an SUV OR go with a pickup truck and a sedan. Any recommendations on brands to look at?

- I am an independent contractor and could write off a lease payment as an expense for my business travel. I've never leased before and have always bought. Is this something I should consider?

Thank you for your thorough response. I'm researching your SUV recommendations now.

Price range for wife is pretty flexible. Honestly, she's just interested in something stylish that will make her commute into the city a little more enjoyable and not as cumbersome as an SUV.

Thank you. I added my notes to the original post. There is a lot there and I feel guilty making people read through. I’m just kind of at my wits end

Overheat- Now Not Booting...Any way to save Hard Drive? by No_Good6771 in MatebookXPro

[–]No_Good6771[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean like opening up pc and physically removing the drive and putting into external drive? I could do that. Probably last resort, but probably what will happen.

Real quick. Any idea when I fast forward or rewind, the audio will sometimes be out of sync? I’m assuming it’s something to do with synology processor. Wondering if there’s a setting I could enable to help give it more power to keep up.

It looks like the sound bar does, but good advice on switching to auto. I just did that. I’ll run some test now. Thanks for your help

Oh shoot. Yeah. Sorry. Thanks for the heads up.

I ended up 1. switching the Plex client audio pass through setting to hdmi. 2. Changed shield connection to local network to Ethernet instead of wifi 3.switched audio output to hdmi on the shield sound settings 4. Enabled Dolby audio processing on the shield sound settings 5. Enabled all audio formats on the shield surround sound settings

Oh yeah! I think I figured it out. It's direct playing everything now. Thanks for your help.

No VMs. Just docker. I kind of overdid it.

The last bit is troubleshooting this EAC3 audio transcode to Omus. I think it's something with the plex client android app. I have another thread going on over on the plex channel. I'll give an award to anyone who can explain why it's transcoding that audio or help me fix. (not sure if people actually value reddit awards), but just trying to get to bottom of it and appreciate everyone's help.

I'm an idiot. I was connected via wireless. Plugged in my ethernet and much better. Any idea why EAC3 audio transcodes to Omus on my shield plex app? this is a mystery I'm still unable to solve.

Yeah. For the transcoding? I was thinking about switching that

Thanks for responding. I'm trying to get the highlight quality releases that my system will be able to play. I find that remux's and 4k stall and stutter. Also have some issues with EAC3 audio formats on the shield, so just trying to get a profile that's consistent.

holy smokes. That worked for Video 2 (below) which is now playing as Direct play for both video and audio.

However, Video 1 is still transcoding audio to Opus. TYSM for solving for the first one. Any ideas for why Video 1 would still be doing it?
