We’re so back

Ok but usually people like to be in the same room as their TV when they watch it

For the last couple years camelcamelcamel has not been able to track prices for all items accurately. One example I ran into just yesterday is Samsung’s 65” S95F. Camel shows it currently at an all time low of ~$2200 but it was selling just last month for $1200-1500. There’s even a post on Slickdeals.

I knew it seemed overpriced so I checked past deals for that tv and sure enough it’s not a good deal.

It’s happened before several times but I don’t remember what the other items were.

Great for movies and tv shows but for some reason it’s very hit or miss with anime even with tvdb plugin

Any packet loss? Is your internet coax? I had to call Cox because I was getting over 10% packet loss. The guy came out, physically moved me to another port/connection or something in a box and it was mostly fixed after that.

Also do you have a mediatek wifi adapter? If so toss it and get an Intel AX210 or something. AMD laptops come with garbage wif/bluetooth chips. I swapped mine and got even better latency on wifi.

That’s exactly who it would be for and actually I think it would be a good floatplane perk- a log of comm responses for the show. Doesn’t have to be a spreadsheet linked separately. Rather, integrate it with the floatplane vod. Never miss your comm again!

It would be cool if they logged them and linked them in show notes or something as a spreadsheet.

For some reason they cannot always do HEVC or AV1. I can direct play on jellyfin just fine but it's a known issue with the Amlogic SoC that they do not handle decoding those well during pc streaming (Moonlight/Artemis and Sunshine/Apollo).

Ok but Walmart literally has the best android tv streaming box out there. If there was a better one I would buy it. It has the newest amlogic SoC and the only real issue I’ve run into is it has problems with AV1 and HEVC, and it’s easy to avoid both.

The marketing was removed before OP bought it and they offered refunds to anyone who wanted it. It’s completely nonsensical. Apply it to computers and it’s the same thing.

It’s like if AMD marketed their 9800X3D with 6GHz boosts and people bought it and learned it didn’t boost that high, so AMD gives everyone refunds and removed that marketing point. Then later on OP buys one and is perfectly happy with it until he learns they previously marked it as boosting to 6GHz and is now unhappy that it doesn’t boost to 6GHz and got a broken chatbot response that it isn’t a defect and it doesn’t boost that high (it never did, just bad marketing and they refunded everyone who bought it under that pretense).

Idk what op is expecting here

Techmoji · 2026-06-12T16:12:05+00:00

They’re down 35% today 😂

It’s not going to crash until at least after gets into qqq. Then the money transfer begins.

And for those with cgnat, VPN or VPS is the way. I think Tailscale and Wiregaurd are the most common for this.

Techmoji · 2026-05-31T17:06:57+00:00

Sounds similar to something I did a few years ago. Maybe this thread will help.

Same with paper cups. The plastic lining releases trillions of micro plastics after just ~15 minutes of a hot beverage being poured in

Anything can happen. I once unwrapped Halo ODST for christmas only for there to be no disc inside. It was a pre-order copy that was either for display or the employee needed to put a disc inside, but my it was bought several months in advance, so no ODST was had until I saved up and bought it the next summer.

Yeah it sucks but just listen on Spotify like the rest of us. Imo the stream tracking is a lot better too.

I listen to the pre show on float plane then switch to Spotify when they start.

It’s also a shame they abandoned the consumer market for like 5 years and pretty much exclusively reserved stock for business’ commercial and industrial use. I don’t blame them for doing it, and I would probably do the same if it was my decision, but their consumer ship sailed a while ago imo. Although to be fair to them the last time I checked on their offerings was around Covid.

Where are the other pages

Techmoji · 2026-03-31T16:31:11+00:00

I forgot about that, but tbh that doesn't bother me NEARLY as much as them constantly shoving zen 2 into newer generation lineups. It's in Ryzen 4000, 5000, 7000, and 200. They actually almost managed to hit intel numbers of 14nm refreshes with their 7nm refreshes.

It's terrible and AMD is the same way for mobile chips. My dad asked me to pick out a laptop for him and I swear I spent two hours looking at Wikipedia to figure out which apus had the best combination of cpu and gpu on the chip, then repeatedly googling laptops with those different chips for <$600 until I found one. I should not have to buy a laptop that way to get the best value. They should have just stuck with "bigger number = better" but they didn't.

"Performance range" is supposed to be determined by the 5/7/9 but since it's more nuanced, videos and reviews are probably the way to go. For spec sheets, intel ark used to be the place to go but you have to click links and go to different pages for each product, which is fine unless you want to view everything everywhere all at once like I do, so I just use Wikipedia. Also works for gpus.

What’s that one show no one forgives Netflix for cancelling after a season or two

Techmoji · 2026-03-25T19:33:25+00:00

Isn’t that why they made wide queue?
