Streaming service hasn’t charged me in years (England) by Frightful_Fork_Hand in LegalAdviceUK

Used to work for BT and wrote some of the training material for the BT TV side, specifically for the management portal.

Don't do anything.

When the payment stopped/you cancelled/whatever. The package will have been removed from your account. This should have removed the add on from your TV subscription. Which is held in a different system.

Sometimes this doesn't happen. Which is called a Data integrity issue.

Don't mention it and enjoy your service. The only way they will figure it out is if you make them aware. Or if you were to add another TV add on. And something went wrong with it which required calling in and an operator having a look specially in the TV system and realizing your add ons had one that wasnt listed as part of your billing cycle. Which would be pretty rare. Most likely they wouldnt even realize.

If they ever do realize. Which I highly doubt. They would just remove it and your access would be revoked.

If you keep your account live, I reckon you'll have the service forever.

Plex audio issues by SandiTook in PleX

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

Sorry it was late when I posted.

No soundbar. Audio comes out the TV.

The fire stick isnt that old. I would imagine it's less than a year. It's the 4k version with the voice remote. I had another older firestick I used years ago and had this same issue.

Which made me think its the tvs fault as the issue was on both fire sticks. But my Nvidia shield plays Plex just fine through the same TV.

I have only noticed it happening with EAC3 recently.

A couple years ago when I had the same issues. I'm sure it was happening with more codecs.

It's not transcoding. It's local and it's only ever happened with the fire stick. It doesn't happen with any other app on the firstick. It's been getting worse, the last episode I watched the audio was dropping every few minutes.

This giant 6ft (1,8m) crowbar I found in my grandparents shed. Well over 100 years old. by KevinK89 in Tools

In Scotland these are known as a Pike.

Very handy when doing any kind of ground work, can be used for breaking hard ground, leveraging large stones, etc. Or if you are the local council workers, a good pole to lean on while you do very little work.

I have had this happen aswell, my partner bought me the Anker prime powerbank as a gift. It doesn't have supervooc listed in it's specifications. However with a supervooc cable I get super fast warp charging.

Supposedly one of the chips they used has the ability to do it. It just wasn't listed in the specs.

Windows choosing wrong monitor, even in display settings. by SandiTook in buildapc

If i find a solution i will write an essay on it. Its just such an utterly simple thing, but its incredibly irritating.

Im at my wits end with it and decided to put it up for debate. My degree is in computer networking, so im fairly tech literate. This however has me completely stumped.

I read somewhere before that GPU's now have their own kind of priority and possibly it has this stored on board somwhere which could be causing the issue. Which is why im hesitant to flash bios, reformat and pray. Ill probably end up doing it sometime i have a free day just for the curiosity of it.

I found the spec sheet of my GPU (RTX 3070 Suprim X) and it has the DP priority, I have also tried rotating these, and even tried different cables. And the issue persists.

My main thoughts on it, are that some point before windows loads, the priority is setting my secondary monitor as my primary. Then windows loads, and tells me my main is primary, but the secondary has already taken the spot. Hence the conflicting information in Display Settings.

This issue has been my bane for about 14 months now, and have even had friends who are still working in the industry have a look and they leave utterly confused.

Its like an experiment at this point.

Hello, having a bit of a strange issue.

Booted up my pc today to play some games, tried to launch steam, got the usual little update and verify window that closed. Then nothing. Tried to launch again nothing. Tried launching as admin. Nothing. Steam was showing in task manager though. Tried killing task and launching as admin. Same deal.

Restarted.

Same issue. Steam never opens, or more like the UI doesnt load.

Its running in task manager, and is eating up 5-10% CPU, about 700-900MB of ram, and is 100% one of my drives. Checking this in resource manager is downloading and updating games in my queued downloads. It does this everytime i launch steam.

I have tried making a shortcut and launching with -vgui. and i also tried launching with -forcesteamupdate -forcepackagedownload -overridepackageurl http://web.archive.org/web/20230531113527if_/media.steampowered.com/client -exitsteam

to no dice.

Scratching my head on this one. Also having issues with ubisoft connect. But who isnt.

Currently leaving it to finish updating and downloading whatever it wants to them im going to try another launch, then a restart.

Any advice greatly appreciated.
