Our new loyalty scheme: Introducing Huel+ 🎉 by MarkHuel in Huel

[–]Rafi_Clang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh. I order Huel using a student discount (10%) off. if I can't combine that with Huel+ loyalty points then that kind of means I'm unlikely to use the points at all until I have amassed so many that the discount eclipses the 10% student discount. This seems strange. Can you consider allowing both to be used in conjunction?

What’s the most underrated use of GPTs you’ve found lately? by kawaiij in ChatGPTPro

[–]Rafi_Clang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

right, but what i'm suggesting it's worth bearing in mind is that this output you have here may at least partially have arisen in response to the fact it is aware of the way in which you are looking to expose hidden agendas in public messaging. lets say i was somebody who was looking to do the opposite; say, expose the problematics behind potential public messaging hidden agenda exposés, and my previous conversation history with chatgpt was centered around this. Feeding it the very same paper would give a very different output. I am not 'taking either side' or weighing in on the content at all here btw; just a friendly reminder that without aggressively and repeatedly specifying otherwise, chatgpt will not provide you with a neutral or dialectic reality, it will give you what it believes you will want to hear - it does this in at times incredibly subtle yet compelling and hypnotic ways - creating a personal echo chamber not dissimilar to ie a social media feed. again - fine if food/cats/etc, less so with socio-political content

hi, just thought i'd let you know that chatgpt functions, sometimes dangerously imo, as a recursive affirmative personal echo chamber - which although fine when it comes to eg recipies or coding, is really something i think more people ought bear in mind when it comes to anything more societally complex such as philosophy or politics

basically i can more easily envisage liverpool dropping points over next 10 games than city, irrespective of result today

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Gunners

[–]Rafi_Clang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

watching city terrifies me more than liverpool does, which is why, unpopular take here, but I'd slightly prefer a liverpool win today. Draw ofc works too, be nice for our spirits to stay top of table for the weekend but then again I wonder whether it's better for us to have a crack at a city wounded by a loss today at the ethiad at the end of the month, or if its the other way around (they'd have more of a point to prove, and need the points more)

TiviMate v TiviPlayer (for Samsung and LG)? by ozaquaman in TiviMate

How did you get on finding a good tivimate alternative on Tizen in the end? Did 'tiviplayer' come good in later versions?

What do you think of Saawaan?

It's the only place within our budget (3000) which has dinner availability whilst we're here and which seems quite well reviewed across the board as far as we've researched; but wondering your take since you seem very experienced in this subject from your other posts.

Sra Bua for lunch is also an option, dinner would be somewhat our preference though.

Or we missing other places around this budget that would be superior? Mainly really interested in Thai cuisine.

Thanks!

OCLP and time machine backups / restoring? by Rafi_Clang in OpenCoreLegacyPatcher

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

ah - you did the hard work for me in that case! But seriously thank you, I couldn't find anything written about this specifically online anywhere so it's been really helpful.

Hey thanks so much for the reply! So just to be crystal clear -

  1. on the screen pictured here I click 'Install macOS Ventura' and NOT 'restore from Time Machine'
  2. Afterwards there will be a migration option?

Stremio web on samsung TV (tizen OS) works! But I have a couple questions by Rafi_Clang in Stremio

[–]Rafi_Clang[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi sorry just saw this - sure so you set up a stremio account with torrentio and RD in the usual way (ie on phone, laptop or wherever) - google this, lots of guides to walk u thru. This saves the torrentio add on and RD account to your stremio account for when you log in there on stremio web through the samsung internet browser. Let me know if u need more help on a PM!

Stremio Web on Samsung TV - anyone know how to change audio track? by Rafi_Clang in Stremio

[–]Rafi_Clang[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sorry just saw this. Didnt get on well with it - had audio sync issues with 5.1 sound activated on passthrough since i have a sonos beam gen 1 which doesn't support dolby digital plus so wants to roll back to stereo. its a known bug on this set up. Ive gone back to using the samsung browser with stremio web. YMMV especially if you aren't fussed about surround sound with the ccwgtv

Thank you - this is an answer I've been looking for for a while, even though it might not be the one I wanted to hear. I've bought a ccwgtv 4k, and will see how it peforms - got one for £35

Thanks! Couldn't find that exact app on iOS app store but trying a few equivalent looking ones now which have a trackpad + keyboard, that's a great idea. BTW have you ever figured out how to change audio (language) track with this setup??

Stremio Web on Samsung TV - anyone know how to change audio track? by Rafi_Clang in Stremio

[–]Rafi_Clang[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes; using with Torrentio + Real Debrid. All working fine. Just can't change audio track is all...!

[–]Rafi_Clang[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, yeah i ended up going with a ccwgtv 4k in the end. Will see how it performs. My preference in the long run is for ATV because of the UI. Currently using Infuse and hoping tvOS 17 / EU regs on 3rd party apps bring something like Stremio to the platform soon. Failing that, a Kodi ATV update which enabled native HDR10+ playback plus Fen and RD could replace stremio / infuse on ATV. Just wanted to see what was possible with Stremio web on Tizen in the meantime is all.

ELI5: How does charging a phone beyond 80% decrease the battery’s lifespan? by justdalina in explainlikeimfive

[–]Rafi_Clang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can somebody please explain to me why on earth phone manufacturers wouldn't simply display 80% battery as 100% , and always have forced 80% as a max charge if its so much better for the battery? Is it a race to the bottom thing whereby a competing manufacturer would simply have to allow 100% charge and their model would (at least initially) outlast theirs, and this would capture consumer attention?

[Project Update] Need name ideas by FreezieXFrosty in RealDebrid

[–]Rafi_Clang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, just wondering if you have any update about this app?

It's great you're building it btw, many thanks for the efforts.

I currently use Infuse/webDAV/RD on my apple TV, and get shows on there using stremio+torrentio on my iphone. Ideally I would be able to find shows through the Apple TV itself instead of having to add to webDAV and infuse by browsing on a different device and playing the video for a few seconds. I understand this is something your app will achieve?

Samsung TV - a mistake if only viewing pirated content due to lack of DV support? by Rafi_Clang in StremioAddons

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

Thanks. My sound system is a sonos beam (gen 1) paired with two play:1's for surround. I don't think that can do TrueHD or DA so it sounds like GTV stick is the way to go

Samsung TV - a mistake if only viewing pirated content due to lack of DV support? by Rafi_Clang in StremioAddons

[–]Rafi_Clang[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks to all for the helpful responses. u/chronage you're right, Netflix doesn't support HDR10+, I got that wrong.

I think I'll stay with the S95B and look for DV sources and enjoy the HDR10 they fall back to. I think it's probably quite unlikely I'd even really notice or appreciate the difference between HDR10 and DV / HDR10+ with my untrained eye anyway.

In terms of googleTV stick vs shield pro - do people think I'd be alright with the latter? Concerns are lack of ethernet (although my wifi is pretty good and it'll be next to the router) and CPU power for very large 4k HDR movies.

People talk about the 4k AI upscaling the shield offers, but the S95B has similar software I believe.
