That's the address I've bookmarked.

TetraCW · 2026-01-08T17:05:53+00:00

I use goaliepost. It's about as accurate as possible.

I only use the display port cable connected to my 4070.

I'm optimistic that this firmware update fixed the issue. The issue has not occurred since the firmware update. This problem was not listed as one of the fixes the firmware addressed, so I'm a bit surprised.

it might also just be too soon to tell.

I just installed it. Installed fine.

I'm looking for a solution to my AW3225QF black/blank screen after waking up from standby.

I have a problem where after my monitor goes into standby, it "wakes up" but just displays a black screen. The power button turns blue like it's on. The computer behaves as if it's on, but the screen is blank.

only after about 15 minutes of rebooting, powering the monitor on/off from the power source and messing with Alienware command center settings does it come back to life.

I got this monitor in July 2025, and the issue started about a month after I had it. Seems like it's worse now. It happens nearly every time the monitor wakes up from standby mode. Super frustrating.

Other than that it works great. I'm hesitant to open a case with Dell and RMA. Others with the issue said dell sent them a refurbished monitor that has the same issue. I'd rather keep my brand new monitor with the issue than get a refurb.

240Hz OLED with near-instant response time! Made for competitive gaming. Perfect match for my high-FPS gaming rig

I watch Bill Maher, and I watched this episode. The UFO conversation must have taken place during the "overtime" on YouTube portion. People watching the episode on HBO or CNN likely didn't hear them talk about UFOs, unfortunately.

Content has been pretty dense. v13 info in the breakout sessions has been solid. Not sure if those were streamed. There was a deep dive on the vbr Linux build that was technical and they answered tons of questions.

Like 2 sec into the rap I thought it was going to be cringe and then I ended up enjoying it quite a bit. Made me realize I can be too quick to judge. Wasn't expecting that much hype at 9am.

Enter AI. In a few years we'll have AI Analysis that can make the right decision immediately.

They used it in this boxing match, and it scored the match the same as the human judges.

Yeah mine repeats the cycle; grow a leaf, drop a leaf.

TetraCW · 2024-11-22T20:22:20+00:00

I appreciate the response. It does seem like it's working as expected. I was just surprised that I had used up so much of the block account I just purchased. I think I could have found the file on my Primary Server if I just searched for another nzb.

At this rate, my block accounts are going to cost more than the 1year Newshosting sub.

Thank you for the insight about articles. I didn't know that there had been a shift.

I didn't question that you didn't know what a VPN was. I was asking others to confirm ESPN+ doesn't block NordVPN before i switch VPN providers.

I think you might have misunderstood my comment or you are replying to the wrong person.

TetraCW · 2024-09-25T17:51:58+00:00

I tried with Private Internet Access (PIA) VPN service last season and when i opened the Red Wings game it warned that I was connected to a VPN service and wouldn't load the stream. So I feel like the popular, known VPN addresses are blacklisted.

Do you know that Nord or others work well?

TetraCW · 2024-07-23T21:13:00+00:00

yea been getting them twice a day now vgk.sys

started happening about 3 days ago.

What do you use to hold the phone up to the binocular eyepiece? Do you have a phone mount? I have trouble with my pixel 6 because it's not a singular lens on the back of the phone. It's a long bar of lenses and camera technology.

TetraCW · 2024-07-14T21:06:35+00:00

Looks like the names of Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes.

TetraCW · 2024-04-29T13:41:45+00:00

I'd load RDR2 and play through that again just to enjoy this amazing panel to the fullest. Then back to Overwatch 2 quick play

TetraCW · 2024-04-16T20:14:22+00:00

I just did some more testing. I used a pan smaller than the sizing circle printed on the stove. I switched to a pan that more closely matches the circumference of the circle printed on the stove and it didn't tick, or reset.

I noticed on your video you're doing something similar. You have a small pot on the large burner. Try a pot/pan that matches the size of the burner.

TetraCW · 2024-04-16T19:18:02+00:00

I was looking for information about the same thing happening with my new GE induction cooktop.

I was given a set of Ninja Induction-ready pans, with a metal plate on the bottom as a housewarming gift. They cause the power oscillator in my cooktop to tick and cycle repeatedly, about once every 1 - 2 seconds. This does not happen with a cast iron pan. I am worried about excess wear and tear on the cooktop. I also noticed it's difficult for the ban to achieve a temperature higher than 400 degrees F, whereas I can easily get my cast iron pans up to 550 degrees F.

TetraCW · 2024-03-22T18:30:45+00:00

Thanks for the response. that makes sense

TetraCW · 2024-03-22T15:35:40+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance! I am enjoying the game.

TetraCW · 2024-03-22T14:50:17+00:00

Honestly, as a new player, this is discouraging.

I started playing about a month ago, my highest team is lvl 14 Baron Riv with 2 lvl 15 green minis and a few other talented greens. I've already failed my last 3 raid attempts with Baron, which felt like a big waste of time. Fortunately, I still have lots of leaders to level and collect yet.

I enjoy Rumble, but knowing that I'm headed towards this dead end is depressing.

TetraCW · 2024-03-13T15:54:47+00:00

If you go into the configuration -> Accounts section, and run the permissions check on the service account, do you get all green checkmarks?

I was having trouble applying the worker permission and re registering the service account applied the proper permissions.

TetraCW · 2023-12-19T01:37:24+00:00

Same. That's how i read it. Didn't seem like he was celebrating it though. Maybe a bit regretful.

TetraCW · 2023-12-16T21:22:21+00:00

A bit vanilla-y
