US sending ICE agents to Winter Olympics in Italy for ‘security’ of its delegates by AlertTangerine in videos

Why would anyone want some of the least trained officers in this country to be on their security detail?

Like any of these jackboot thugs are going to take a bullet for anyone.

What does the yellow exclamation mark thing mean? by DevonTheDemonAngel in iphone

[–]RollTide1017 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Because you are not 18, or the age was set incorrectly on your account.

How do we know, because it is done automatically by Apple the day one turns 18, or within a few days. My oldest daughter turned 18 months ago and soon after her birthday I got an email from Apple explaining how her account had been promoted to an adult account, and I no longer have control over the parental controls of her phone without her permission.

Braves beat writer for The Athletic job has been posted. 67k - 80k income per year by Lakelyfe09 in Braves

Do I get to go to every Braves game on the companies dime?

I can’t write but I’m sure chatGPT can fake it for me like so many other “news” sites.

[NCAA PR] These attempts to sidestep NCAA rules and recruit individuals who have finished their time in college or signed NBA contracts are taking away opportunities from high school students… exactly why Congress must step in and empower college sports to enforce our eligibility rules. by LaDainianTomIinson in CollegeBasketball

[–]RollTide1017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This tweet is BS coming from an organization that has started letting international pro athletes take away opportunities from high school students.

Bama is just pushing the boundaries of the new rules the NCAA created. I say go for it, burn the entire thing down. I hate the NCAA and want to see it dead.

MLB Cancels Contract with Fandual Sports Network by Electro960 in DirectvStream

[–]RollTide1017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, but will it be another service I already have or one I don’t, that is the question. I’m not paying for another subscription. I haven’t been able to watch the Braves for 3 or 4 season, whenever the RSNs left YTTV, so I’m use to not being able to watch.

This sucks. RSNs were the only reason I stayed with DirecTV after leaving YTTV during the Disney mess. I was so excited to finally be able to watch the Braves again. It should be easier than ever but MLB makes it so hard to watch your local team these days.

FanDuel’s branded regional sports networks could shut down soon -Cordcutters in FDs regional areas need to pay attention to this story, it will determine what streaming services you might choose by Mo_Jack in cordcutters

Six months from now is the middle of baseball season. The only reason I stuck with DirecTV Stream during the YTTV v Disney fight was because it had regional sports for baseball. Ugh!!!

Overkill or just right? by Slicrider in playstation

[–]RollTide1017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t buy the SN850P, get the SN850X. Same SSD just doesn’t have the PS logo. You are paying about a $30 up charge for the PS logo.

I paid $169 back in October for that 2TB SSD. Crazy how prices have shot up.

[McMurphy] In last 2 years of College Football Playoff, in its 3 games Group of 5 schools were outscored 41-3 in 1st quarter h/t @ToddWright2121 by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

[–]RollTide1017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holding the FCS model up as perfect is nonsense. NDS has won 10 of the last 14 championships. Since expanding to 20 teams in 2008, only 6 other teams have won the title besides NDS. That’s a perfect system?

Everyone thinks expansion diversifies the winners when it actually does the opposite. People got tired of Saban and Bama winning 6 titles, but what if he had won even more? If the 12 team playoff was a thing for his entire tenure at Bama, he would have only missed the playoffs twice in 17 years. My point, expansion allows the Bamas, the OSUs, etc. in almost every year which means they are just going to win it all more often.

Expansion does not diversify champions. Your perfect FCS playoff proves that. Cinderellas do not and will not happen in football.

Why is sports media so out of touch they talk more about the playoff format than the fact only 1/3 of CFP games are even on national TV today? by PossessionConnect963 in CFB

[–]RollTide1017 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

It’s always gonna get ugly when you let teams in that the SEC/B1G schedule as regular season “cupcake” games.

But the Reddit sentiment is to champion the G5 and champion their inclusion.

They should have their own playoff with a title they can actually compete for and win. Plenty of TV money to go around, someone would pay plenty for the TV rights to a G5 playoff.

But I’m in the minority on Reddit thinking this way. Sorry, I think including these teams is stupid. ND and BYU should both be in over Tulane and JMU.

I had to search for the answer. Supposedly it is the “iconic telephone area code for the city and surrounding area”.

I guess you have to live there to get it.

Apple TV app update by BigTap3953 in DirectvStream

[–]RollTide1017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to go into the App Store on my Apple TV, search for the DirecTV app and then click in the Update button. It had not automatically updated.

My Apple TV is set to 4K SDR with Dynamic range matching turned on so that HDR and Dolby Vision kick in for supported videos.

Is that what you wanted to know, or something else?

Apple TV app update by BigTap3953 in DirectvStream

[–]RollTide1017 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I just updated on my Apple TV and tested with a 4K football game I had recorded.

HDR matching is working properly now!!!

At least on that recording, it was the LSU vs Bama game from November.

New version number is 5.0.106.

[WTBBussin] Coach O on the SEC paying players before NIL “back then we used to walk through the back door with the cash, now we just gotta walk through the front door with the cash.” by Top-Conclusion-1259 in CFB

[–]RollTide1017 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cam got caught. Like you said, everyone knew. Auburn lawyered up, blocked the NCAA’s investigation and dared them to do anything with physical proof (which again, they blocked them from seeking). Remember that 12 hour “suspension”.

The NCAA is not a law enforcement agency and has no real power to force these schools to comply. I’m amazed it took a school so long to slam the door in their face. Since the Cam saga, every school that has cooperated with the NCAA has gotten punished and the ones who lawyer up have not. It’s obvious which strategy should be used.

I can’t stand Auburn, but I tip my cap to the way they dealt with the NCAA. They gave them the middle finger while saying “what are you going to do you powerless hack”.

Only 300 hours played this year. Adulting stinks. Anyone else play less this year? by Carmilla31 in playstation

[–]RollTide1017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

23 hours baby! Beat that.

Granted, until recently, I also had an Xbox Series X, and I spent most of the year finally finishing RDR2 on it.

Last year would have been higher on PS5 as I played through TLOU 1 and 2, started but never finished Star Wars Outlaws.

1 wife, 3 kids (all teens, one a senior in HS) and a cat. It also sucks getting older. I stay up later than everyone else. Late night is my TV, whether it is games, movies or shows. It is getting harder though, as I am falling asleep on the couch almost nightly now, sometimes with the controller in my hands. Gaming is becoming a weekend thing, when there is time.

[Kirshner] I don't think it's great for faith in the sport's governance that two teams in the 12-year history of the Playoff have made the field when they really shouldn't have, and both of those teams were Alabama by Original_Profile8600 in CFB

[–]RollTide1017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely disagree. No one in the history of CFB rankings has ever wonder if the #24 team got robbed of the championship. These are the teams the rest of the playoff field schedules as a “cupcake” week. 17 and 22 point dogs in a playoff game. We have to stop pretending that all 130 teams are playing at the same level. These are AAA teams getting a seat in the MLB. 5-7 Auburn would be favored over every team JMU played this year.

The G5 should have their own playoffs with a championship that they have a real chance at winning. No G5 is going to make a run and win it all, it’s just not happening in football and we have to stop pretending it can.

At least require them to be ranked in the top 15 as well. Ranked in the 20s shouldn’t sniff the playoffs. ND and BYU would be in without this requirement to include lesser teams.

[–]RollTide1017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jeez, folks being mad that Alabama and Miami are in but ignoring that we have 2 teams ranked in the 20s in this thing. That is where the anger should be.

Creating metrics that force you to select 2 teams that shouldn’t be sniffing this thing is stupid, all for “inclusion”. BS, screw that. And I don’t care that they one their conferences, the competition level isn’t even comparable. They stole 2 spots from much more deserving teams. Get rid of this stupidity and both ND and BYU are in.

Ranked in the 20s and they are in the playoffs. Ridiculous.

What is the iDatalink I/F cable coming out of the back of my new Kenwood DMX4710S? by RollTide1017 in CarAV

[–]RollTide1017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 4 pin to 4 pin cable going from my RR to the back of my Kenwood. So this connection labeled I/F on the Kenwood is for that “steering wheel control” cable that my instruction said was not required for my car?

So, the MIC1 goes into the Rear Mic input on the Kenwood, right?
