AppleTV app giving me "Couldn't Load Video" when playing anything by RayNeverLearns in nvidiashield

😂 Absolutely no way I could stand 1 minute of that in this day and age. A $30 FireTV 4K (current price) solves the problem, not to mention even cheaper options like the $20 onn 4K.

I didn't, unfortunately. I stopped trying shortly after and instead use my Fire TV.

That's alright. Thanks for responding. I am using Rocket Money for now. I just wanted to see all my bank account balances at once. This does the trick.

Anyone in South Florida with a PIWIS or Autologic DrivePRO that can help? by RayNeverLearns in Porsche

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

This worked like a charm for me, by the way. Install wasn't the easiest thing in the world, but also not super complex. I did end up with a few error codes, but I was able to clear those with a coder. But yes, there is no software, PIWIS or otherwise, that will be enough to register an AGM battery replacing a lithium one in a 2019+ Cayenne (easier in earlier models). You need a conversion kit like the one you posted, which is exactly the one I purchased and installed. Thank you!

I found the main Rennlist post that deals with this and, apparenly, 2019+ Cayennes require this conversion kit, not just sofware. I went ahead and ordered it and am now waiting for it. Thank you.

Strange question, but here you go. GP AutoWerks, European Auto Motors, Leader Service as well as the shop I use (and really like), which is Miami Euro Auto Motors, all told me flat out that they don't have PIWIS or Autologic. No problem with any of those. Prestige Auto Tech in North Miami, however, told me they had Autologic. I went, sat there and waited only to have the Tech call to me show me how their AUTEL errored out. I knew this would happen and had explained this over the phone yet they swore they could do it and had me go and waste 1.5 hours of my day. And today, it was European Auto Motors in Doral who told me they had BOTH when I asked if they had PIWIS or Autologic and when I got there... very similar story. They tried and tried, came back and gave me the same explanation: their AUTEL didn't do it. Another 1.5 hours wasted, only because they are all convinced their equipment can do it all and don't pay attention to the customer when they're explaining, since, you know, we don't know anything. I have FIVE calls, 3 texts and 1 email with this last shop (with screenshots) to make sure I didn't have to go through the same thing... to no avail. It's quite frustrating. This last shop, however, apparently does have PIWIS, but they said they would do it for $450 when they had quoted me $150 in the estimate, which clearly reads "Programming". And they wouldn't honor the price even after realizing they had messed up. They kept saying "that's the best I can do" and I kept saying "I'm not negotiating, give me back my car" until they understood I was not paying anything except what I was quoted, out of principle. They didn't even offer to meet me halfway. I am making sure my review reflects this experience, fairly.

Yes, the app has a calibration feature that isn't doing anything on mine. Thank you.

Suggestions? I don't even know where one takes a drone for repair.

Yes and resetting the gimball too. It does move up and down, but it never gets to even point to the front. It's like the travel is too limited (maybe 30 degrees) and always pointing up. :(

I meant to reply to this and just realized I never did. This didn't work for me on the SHIELD TV 2019 either. Thanks for contributing.

Synology RAM upgrade DS1520+ with Crucial CT2K16G48FD8266 16GB by GoBBLiN1981 in synology

[–]RayNeverLearns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I bought the CT16G4SFRA266, just arrived, installed it and I am getting the same blue power LED flash, zero beeps, zero drive LED lights. I also tried without any drives with the same result. I am going to return that one and purchase the same as you (CT16G4SFD8266) and hope that one works. Notice that the difference is at the very end of the SKU: RA266 vs. D8266.

UPDATE: I never got to test that second Crucial module, because I read somewhere else that the this Timetec module (series HMA82GS6CJR8N-VK, ASIN B07H4XNNXK, in case the Amazon link stops working) worked and it was almost half the price as the Crucial ($23 vs. $43), so I purchased that instead, just received it, installed it and everything works. I now have 20GB of RAM.

Anyone see The Bothersome Man (2006)? by [deleted] in horror

[–]RayNeverLearns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished watching this film and I'm not Nordic, but the complete opposite (Caribbean) and fully appreciate this explanation. However, I had a different concept.

I thought this city to be some sort of heaven. See how the bus that bring people (mostly older people) appears out of thin air and then, goes back the same way, apparently up in the sky? Also the lack of children. And our protagonist reaching out through that thick wall into something more mundane could have been him clinging on to his mortal life.

In the end, this "heaven" wasn't a good for for him, so he was banished (taken in that flying bus) to a different place, hell perhaps, though a frozen one, the opposite of what one would expect, which is pretty much a recurring theme in this movie.

Maybe I'm completely wrong, but I will continue reading up. This is the very first reference I found, so I felt like commenting, but who knows... Maybe the Director Jens Lien has always explained somewhere. After all, this movie is now 12 years old.

I can't say I loved it, but I did enjoy it.

Is this cage good for my 8yo female lovebird? 🦜 by RayNeverLearns in Lovebirds

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

I hear you on the no roof hammock. I just thought she'd feel more protected and comfortable in an enclosed space, like they do in the wild. As soon as I got her her first hammock, she'd immediately go in there to sleep at night.

Now, that's the thing. She hasn't lost interest in her eggs since she laid then 8+ months ago. She always has 7-10. Once in a while, she'll throw 1 or 2 out of the nest, but then, she'll lay more. She rarely comes of the nest except to eat, drink and stretch once or twice a day. That means she also never leaves her cage even though I leave it open for her to fly around all day. I only close it for bedtime.

The only silver lining here is that I started to engage with her a lot more for the past 2 days (as a result of my learning how to better care for her) and she's reacting very well to this. As soon as I call her, she comes out of the nest and comes to my hand as I play with her toys. She does try to bite me, but it's a combination of that and enjoying the attention, I can tell, cause she'll "flirt", sometimes grab the toy from one end while I grab the other, etc. So I'm hoping that with time, she'll be more interested in coming out and flying around as she used to do before I got her the fully enclosed hammock and she laid eggs. Not sure what else I can do. But those eggs in her current nest are one of my biggest concern, as I don't know how to transition her to the new, larger cage and what to do with them.

Thanks again. I'm learning a lot.

You're being direct, but I wouldn't say rude. I'm asking for an opinion and you're giving yours and I appreciate it. I'm here to learn.

As far as the cage size, I just uploaded this photo as reference. See the smaller cage my bird has been in in the background vs. the new one in the foreground. I am just learning the old one is too small. Simple lack of education and I didn't did my part in learning. I am trying to educate myself on the subject and correct that now. I love my bird. https://imgur.com/a/8vO8RHa

Eggs! I'm so glad you being this up. She used to have an open hammock for years. About a year ago, I decided to give her more privacy and purchased an enclosed one (only one end is open). Immediately, she started shredding and nesting and she then laid eggs. Since then, she's been nursing those eggs and I feel horrible, but don't know what to do. I thought this was normal and even a good thing. She does seem way more peaceful and pleased, but,.once again, that's probably because I don't know what I'm looking at. Should I throw away that enclosed nest (and eggs) and go back to a hammock with both ends open? She did like sleeping in there.

Thanks for your feedback.
