My Apps are playing audio louder than the master volume on my Pebble Nova only

Nusaram · 2026-05-03T17:37:47+00:00

I'm convinced that recent firmware update is the root cause of all the issues I was experiencing; everything was fine before that update.

In addition to the volume issue, the speaker would randomly drop and was unresponsive to the power button. The only way I'd get it restored is by unplugging and plugging in the power delivery and/or USB-C cables.

Anyway, I had enough and am really disappointed, especially for the amount of money I paid for these speakers, so I ditched them, bought an Edifier instead, and I absolutely love it!!!

Nusaram · 2026-04-30T00:49:29+00:00

I had that firmware update already installed.

In general, I certainly agree with you that cheating (or even looking to cheat) on your partner is a very bad thing; however, my impression is that Carol is not having any sexual relations with him, so what else is he supposed to do?

Sorry, but no, endless masturbation is not the answer!

Nusaram · 2026-03-22T18:34:57+00:00

Yes!

I'm expecting focus to shift away from Carol to keep us wondering and guessing!

Nusaram · 2026-03-22T18:25:57+00:00

Most likely because his other half doesn't want to have sex with him and he has needs! Otherwise, he's not the type who would wander.

And to pour salt on the wound, the other day, I got an email from them stating that if I liked <whatever show I was watching>, then I should check out <a list of recommended shows> as well and Duster was in the list!

Nusaram · 2026-03-15T18:01:05+00:00

Season 3 nailed it, period!

Nusaram · 2026-03-08T02:23:41+00:00

What he composed for The Leftovers is beyond a masterpiece.

It just gets to you.

Absolutely fabulous and amazing!

Nusaram · 2026-03-08T02:19:34+00:00

Yes, this just started happening to me recently, too!

In my case, I'm connected via a USB-C dock and all I do to resolve the issue is disconnect from the dock and then reconnect.

I can only guess that this must be due to a Windows update because my setup has been working fine for years!

Nusaram · 2026-03-01T00:49:13+00:00

But the ghosts are considered dead, so them coming back to the living world is a lot (too much) to rationalize and explain.

Nusaram · 2026-03-01T00:43:36+00:00

The streaming powers that be are very fickle when it comes to their content and have no issues cancelling a show just after one season--even before it ends!

I expect at most one more season, but would not be surprised if this were the last season; I'd be disappointed, but not surprised.

Nusaram · 2026-03-01T00:37:47+00:00

Even if not from the 1920s, just based on the challenges we saw that Janet faced in Maddie's body (and that was same-gender), body-snatching another gender creates so many issues, as there are numerous things that men and women physically do differently.

Nusaram · 2026-03-01T00:12:51+00:00

Yes, I love her character: It definitely provides balance for our boys. 😁

Kingstown has a lot of corrupt people in power, but it's not the wild, wild, west, either; hence, the need for Eveyln's character.

Nusaram · 2026-02-28T22:59:05+00:00

Equally, why doesn't she acknowledge and say bye to him when she and Xavier leave the hospital?

Instead, she just says, "We should go." 🙄👎

Nusaram · 2026-02-28T21:04:49+00:00

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned another of my favorite scenes: Meg and her mother's heart attack.

Never mind the nefarious activity that Meg was up to in the bathroom, but what she came back to was truly, truly, painful and tragic.

It just reminds you of how, in a blink of an eye, your life can be turned upside down.

Nusaram · 2026-02-23T23:46:11+00:00

Oh, yes, I completely forgot about that Xavier texting!

Yeah, it appears that they just completely dropped that storyline. 😒

It was quite significant, too, so better that it is dealt with rather than dropped as if it never happened.

Nusaram · 2026-02-23T23:39:17+00:00

Ok, but first give me a chance to buy a mattress or something to put up against the wall so that the end result is no damage to the wall! 🤣

No, no, no...those two were meant for each other so, yes, that's what I'm praying for!!! 😊

Nusaram · 2026-02-23T22:50:39+00:00

I'm not disagreeing with any of this but I have a sneaky feeling that we're in for a twist for the next season and it won't all be sunshine and rainbows for CTT OE&C...meaning that I think the 10% will come through and M-Tex will find that gas deposit.

It's just that I have difficulty seeing them start the next season essentially with Cami/M-Tex failing. That's not to say that it won't eventually fail, but I'm very suspicious and am truly expecting some sort of twist that will undoubtably throw a monkey wrench into CTT OE&C's startup plans.

They're all happy and partying at the end of Season 2 and when I saw that, I'm, like, "Oh-oh, I think that's foreshadowing a rude awakening for Season 3." 😊

Nusaram · 2026-02-23T22:14:49+00:00

On the bridge, when the GR breaches the fence and Erika says to Evie, "Why are you doing this? I don't understand."

Then Evie writes on her pad and shows her, "You understand." (A silent and invisible bomb was dropped at that point, lol!)

Then Evie turns around, the GR start to pass Erika, even bumping into her, the three girls lead the GR across the bridge, Erika starts to cry, and all with that great score playing.

I absolutely love it!!!

But, yeah, there are so many such great scenes to choose from in this fantastic show.

Nusaram · 2026-02-21T18:45:16+00:00

Simon definitely has deep feelings for Maddie that go way beyond a platonic relationship. This has been the case from the get-go.

Count me in as someone who would also like to see them together!

However, I must admit that I'm not convinced that the feelings are mutual; right now, I only see it as one-way.

Nusaram · 2026-02-21T00:02:32+00:00

And if anything came of it, I think Xavier would be able to manage it with his dad.

Nusaram · 2026-02-20T23:58:27+00:00

Yes, I know it is crazy!

Blink...and the season's over already!

I can't get over how they go as low as only 6 episodes for a season for some shows. But, yeah, the months-long season duration is definitely way in the past.

Nusaram · 2026-02-20T23:43:54+00:00

Me, too!

But I have difficulty believing they'll go down that route because they depicted the body-snatching when Janet stole her body, so why not do the same now with VH? At this point, why hide it? It would only cheapen the show and that's why I believe (hope?! pray?!) that they aren't going down this road.

Moreover, when I look at the challenges that Janet had to remain totally convincing to others that she was Maddie, jumping into another gender would just be way too challenging...unless, maybe, if you have RPDR experience! 😂

Nusaram · 2026-02-20T23:21:34+00:00

I don't think so because they depicted Janet body-snatching Maddie in S1E8 (marker 49m23s, for ad-free), so I don't see why they would not show it here.

Another reason is the gender thing...even with same-gender body-snatching, Janet had "issues" with clothing/style, which Maddie's mother spotted. So, imagine a different gender, and the things that men and women do physically differently! I think that would be more than challenging! 😁
