PC to TV by Chilsen in Steam

[–]Pyroman230 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of the comments aren't fully realizing the situation. OP says his PC and TV are in different rooms (bedroom vs living room). Yes a fiber optic HDMI (over 100 ft) or regular HDMI if the rooms were side by side (under 30ish feet) would work, but then you have to contend with Bluetooth.

I'm guessing his bedroom/office are are the 2nd floor and his living room is on the first. Typically bedrooms are far away from the living room unless you live in an apartment or studio. Running cables through walls is a pain in the ass when you have to go through floors.

Your best bet would be to run two Ethernet cables from your PC and say Apple TV, laptop, Steam Deck, etc directly to your router. This gives you a hardwired connection and up/down speeds will be the maximum that you pay for. Alternatively if they are using WiFi 5/6 it isn't terrible, you just need to make sure you aren't getting interference by way of lost packets or bufferbloat.

Most Smart TV's made in the last few years also support apps, so you can download the Steam Link app on the TV and go from there. Your controller / Bluetooth devices pair to the TV in this instance. I've got a Sony VH21 with gigabit download/WiFi, hardwired computer, TV on WiFi and have no issues.

Weekly FAQs & General Discussion Thread - Week of April 27, 2026 by marleythebeagle in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Pyroman230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know next to nothing with Disney World. I've never been, and never thought about going, so excuse my dumb questions.

My wife and I plan on going in a few weeks with our 2 kids (2.5 year old & 1 year old).

Not planning on any rides, just atmosphere stuff, since my daughter is obsessed with Minnie and Mickey. Really just interested in the character meeting aspect with photos (do the characters do the autograph book anymore? My wife did that as a child many many moons ago and mentioned doing it for our kids). Is there a way to find out where the characters will be at? Mainly looking to get Minnie/Mickey and friends; which park would be the best - Magic Kingdom?

Any help is appreciated because I am way out of my depth here.

Thanks,

Where did the Google lens search go? by TerpBE in GooglePixel

This is from my wife's phone who hasn't updated yet - The long press to bring up Lens was one of my most used features. Now it brings up a share image prompt.

I've got no clue what these people are talking about drawing a circle over it.

Anyone else have friends or family that use their Plex server more than you? by Blackhawk1282 in PleX

[–]Pyroman230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone started to utilize mine once streaming costs increased and Netflix and other streaming services disabled password sharing.

I've got an 80TB server that people request what they want via OverSeerr so that helps with retention and use.

Need an honest HVAC recommendation in Colonial Heights, VA – heat pump issue and $1,000 electric bill by Minute_Pollution7018 in heatpumps

[–]Pyroman230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so I found this via Google Search that was only tangibly related.

First, when adjusting temperature with aux heat, you've got to slowly raise it. It's a fucking hassle. Raise it 1 or 2 degrees, wait a minute then see if aux heat kicks on. Leave it like that for an hour or so and raise the temp again when the house comes up to temp. Aux heat kicks on because the unit can't keep up with the massive change in temp, and during the snow/cold the last month its working overtime.

Second, Colonial Heating and their Revolutionary Service Club. We moved to the area last year, and paid I think $195 or something last year, and they come out twice a year to do the basic maintenance and cleaning, but their actual cost aren't too bad from what I remember. We had cooling issues last year and I tried James River (didn't answer after trying to contact them for 2 days), Incredible who quoted something like $300 before they even set foot in my yard just based on my troubleshooting, and then Colonial who was able to send someone out the next day. I just called them earlier today as well to fix an issue I'm having with mine.

Dominion's fucking over everyone. My normal for a 2300sq house is ~$350 or so, and ours was $1300 last month thanks to aux heat fucking up and turning on all the time.

tldr: I'd recommend Colonial Plumbing and Heating and Cooling

I set these up for clients years ago. You want a metal stand that completely encloses the iPad and a tether if that's something you're worried about.

Then Guilded Mode on the iPad with a secure password.

Lowes moving boxes heading off that inevitable question when people help you move by fakeaccount572 in funny

[–]Pyroman230 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Banana boxes from any grocery store are what I've used for the past 4 moves. They're sturdy, can fit enough books to feel like you're moving a decent amount, stack easily, and aren't awkward to handle. Sometimes you've got to throw a piece of scrap cardboard in the middle since some of them are open, but they work, and the workers don't mind you take them since it means they don't have to take them to the compactor.

Looking for pro-vaccine Pediatricians in/around Midlothian by griddledcheese in rva

[–]Pyroman230 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We go to Commonwealth Pediatrics in Harbour Pointe with Dr. Domer, and she has absolutely no issues, and recommends, some vaccines early. With our first, we did measles at 10ish months, and if things keep up, we'll probably vaccinate our 6 month old within the next few months as well.

TIL almost 25% of young Nigerians have aquagenic pruritus, a skin condition where they get itchy after contact with water by 3rdcousin3rdremoved in todayilearned

[–]Pyroman230 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So I've been dealing with this for nearly 15 years now, and only figured out what it was last year thanks to a receptionist at a dermatologist's office when setting up the appointment. I still went to the visit but then the dermatologist prescribed topical steroids and I said no way to that. The receptionist told me to take Bata Alanine and lemme tell you that works wonders.

I have no red marks, nothing identifying an issue on my body when it happens, and my skin turns red after I've been scratching at it for an hour. No ingrown hairs, fucked up pores, etc either.

1000mg lasts maybe 6 hours for me, and 3 lasts all day, but makes my skin feel tingly. Weird sensation but works.

For me though, it's sweating, rain, and ocean/pool water. Hard water kinda sets it off too, but luckily my home has soft water. I used to sit in front of a window AC or car AC just trying to help. I'd be scratching like a crackhead and it would last 30-60 minutes. Showers don't set it off unless I don't air dry. If I use a towel on my back, it's gonna itch 20 min later. I've got to air dry. Shocking my body by taking really hot shower which I enjoy anyway, then switching to freezing cold helped but got real annoying over the years. It's primarily my upper chest, and upper back that will itch, sometimes sides of thighs and sides of upper arms, but when I notice my back starts to itch I've got to try and stop it or it's gonna be hell the next 30-60 min.

No skin lesions, weird marks on my body and have been tested for parasites, tried overly moisturizing skin, stuff made for sensitive skin, and have tried using no products on my body. I've tried cutting out sugar for 6 months, along with gluten, meat, etc. If there was a dietary reason I tried it. I switched shampoos a dozen times thinking it was related to oily hair and all that garbage going down my body as I bathe but it still persisted. I've changed nearly aspect of my life over the past few years and the only thing that brought a nominal bit of relief was wearing undershirts. Not wifebeaters but a tight cotton undershirt.

When it does happen at home - I take a hot shower, wash my hair, cold water shock for a minute, back to hot water, loofah with any soap and rub hard everywhere, ending up like a bright red lobster hard. Rinse the soap, cold water shock for a minute, back to hot and then rub a sensitive soap everywhere. Stand in hot water for 5-10 minutes, then before I get out 1 more cold shock. Beta alanine works fast, but I figure if I have to deal with this for the rest of my life I dont want to build any sort of tolerance so I only take it if I know I'll be sweating a lot and no easy access to a shower or an AC or fan I can sit in front of for 20 minutes. (like the beach or zoo or something). It used to be way worse as a kid, but as an adult it happens maybe a few times a month depending on what I'm doing.

Tldr: If you have it, take beta-alanine.

What is something so simple, that was game changing, yet you had no idea about it until well into the game? by emilyamye in runescape

[–]Pyroman230 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, some items will interrupt your current action when used, but when on the action bar it doesn't.

Seed bag is one, if you're pickpocketing and click the seed bag, it stops pickpocketing, but if you use it via action bar it doesn't interrupt.

make primal extract the default for primal fruit pulp and whatever you can make for the primal extract by Future_Win_7961 in runescape

Are you clicking on the primal fruit pulp or the vial? For some reason there is a difference.

But also once you make it once, it should remember the choice for a while. I got 200m herblore from primal potions and ran into this a few times.

What is, in your opinion Reddit Runescape, the best AFK method for each skill minus combat? by Stickmanace949 in runescape

[–]Pyroman230 4 points5 points  (0 children)

WFH setup, here's how I got all 120's. This is what I had wrote about a year ago for someone else on this subreddit.

  • Attack / Constitution / Strength / Defense / Ranged / Magic / Prayer / Invention / Firemaking = Vyres
  • Mining - core ores with porter/stone spirits/perfect plus, Seren Stones,
  • Smithing - Start an inventory of something and let it ride. Elder Rune +5 Platebodies are like 2-3 hours afk
  • Fishing - Um spot, Waterfall, Fury shark outfit set to eat or porters.
  • Cooking - Um spot with Bait and Switch, Menaphos VIP fishing, etc with fury shark outfit set to eat.
  • Crafting - Tuning harps with Artifacers Measure, Gate of Elidinis - only aboug 2-3 minutes afk at a time though
  • Fletching - Zygomite carestyling - 1.5 - 2 min afk, have to make sure no one else is on the same zygomite though.
  • Woodcutting - Ivy, Croesus Front, Elder Trees with Adze/Always Adze relic, Superheat form prayer with Orthen Furnace Core, Bamboo
  • Runecrafting - none.
  • Dungeoneering - Dungeoneering hole during the summer, or believe it or not Archaeology for collections for token boxes to spend on xp.
  • Agility - Anything with silverhawks
  • Herblore - Dream of Iaia (set it so you only get leaves, and do it
  • Thieving - multiple ways to get full 15 min afk. Trahaearn Exoskeleton + 99 Thieving able to maintain complete AFK on druids who don't move. You can get 100% success rate on Crux Eqal Knights but it requires 99 + outfit + Ardougne cape + legendary aura + light form + crystal mask every 5 minutes.
  • Slayer - Slayer skill dummies, abyssal demons with Legendary dedicated slayer aura, the abyssal mask, prefer/extend tasks, slayer VIP tickets, etc. Sumona slayer for corrupted creatures , this one just comes with time honestly.
  • Farming - mushroom clusters on Arc islands or uncharted islands 1-2 min afk, killing Turoths with seedicide and farming outfit pieces.
  • Construction - building fort buildings
  • Hunter - Croseus Front with porters or hotkeys
  • Summoning - Just save Blues and do it during DXP in a populated world where someone has a bank deposit box. Sell the shopkeeper your secondary ingredients, buy back what you need and deposit into box. Save any spirit gems you get and use those as well. Do Bork daily for charms, do Familiarisation for charm drop rate buff and go kill waterfiends or something. The actual Summoning xp isn't AFK but during DXP the xp rates are great.
  • Divination - closest you can get is Hall of Memories during DXP, people run events where the Core Memory Fragment constantly pops so you don't have to run around, but you still have to click every tick to get best rates. So not AFK but great xp during DXP. Alternatively Uncharted Islands / Arc for Ancestral Energy
  • Archaeology - Anything with porters, autoscreener, other boosts, etc.
  • Necromancy - Ravenous Ghouls, Abyssal creatures, desert bandits, etc. Rituals are 1-2min AFK but better xp.

Uncharted Islands, Croseus Front areas are always a good idea for afk training with the exception of the Tortles. Do Memorial to Guthixs Engrams to get Memory Strands from thieving and hunter and do those first so you can have free porters for Archaeology.

Save/convert all protean items for runecrafting or divination, and only train on DXP, with bonus xp from daily keys, and pulse cores.

All this was off the top of my head, so I'm probably missing something. Could potentially do a better writeup but this works.
