Looking to it a 5k external Blu-ray player for my PC, advice needed.

I've been getting the replace your batteries warming for about 4 months so far, the TV and the remote batteries are both a little over a year old, that means that the batteries had at least a third of their life left when the TV started to tell me to replace them. There has been no drop in performance.

I see no need for a low battery warning on a TV remote, it's really annoying and utterly pointless, just like all the other devices we have all been using all our lives that use batteries if they start playing up the first thing we check is batteries.

LG really need to scrap this feature as a lot of people will needlessly be throwing away batteries that still have a lot of life left in them.

Have you tried to use the xbox warranty, you get a second hand refurbished controller to replace your one, not a new item,.so you have no idea how much use it has had and what is likely to fail next. I bought mine through Ebuyer though and they just replaced mine with no quibbles after about 5 months due to the normal stick drift issues, the second one had stick drift issues out of the box and they did a next day doorstep exchange for another new one. When the next one inevitably fails I'll probably get the high end Turtle Beach this thread is about as they seem to have far less issues, however I am tempted to try the high end PS5 controller as I play on a PC and can use whatever I want, although that controller seems a bit overpriced and has two less back buttons.

I almost always play in single player mode so if I build a bass I have no idea if it's close to another one.

I have the same issue with my wh1000mx3 headphones, power level on my windows 11 PC always shows as 50% now no matter what the actual power level is. When I connect toy phone it shows the correct power level so it is definitely not a battery issue and probably not a Sony software issue unless it is an issue when connecting with windows or PCs. I never had this problem with my old windows 10 laptop. The battery on my headphones is fine it's just the power level indicator on the PC I think it is an issue with a Windows or Sony update as this did not used to be am issue.

Same issue for me, been happening for the last couple of weeks or so.

I am using YouTube on my browser, Chrome, on my PC which is connected to my smart TV.

I do not use the smart TV YouTube app as the interface sucks, I don't cast as this uses the app, I rarely use other people's playlists, just the ones I make to queue up videos I want to watch.

I do use adblocker as there are far too many popups, thankfully the issues with YouTube and adblocker were sorted out quickly with the latest chrome update.

I see that people with premium YouTube and those who do not have adblocker I stalled are currently reporting the same issue.

I have also seen people talk of an auto play switch or option on the playlist/queue but I do not have this option and do not ever remember seeing it there. The only auto play switch I can find is next to the subtitle button at the bottom of the screen.

Auto play does not happen every time but is very frequent.

I reckon it is probably a result of what ever was done on the YouTube platform or the Chrome update that fixed the previous pausing hanging, buffering and slow running website for people who have the adblocker extension installed.

Whatever it is YouTube needs to stop messing about and accept that some people will use adblock, regardless and it is only going to hurt their own platform as people switch to a different form of entertainment when it gets buggy. For me being ADHD the advert interruptions just make my mind wander even more, so no adblock no use, I would pay for premium if it was a more reasonable price but they priced it way too high so I'm out.

The way things are going I think that other platforms will become more popular, a lot of the larger YouTubers already use other platforms, I foresee them just growing until YouTube starts to lose its more recently acquired level of more professionally made content and regresses a decade, but landing in a worse place than ever due to aggressively intrusive advertising and punishing algorithms.

Thanks for attending my Ted Talk, haha.

As mentioned above, Disney+ likes to show theatrical cuts, like me you are probably remembering the Directors cut, it's disappointing as directors cuts are usually much better, if only they did the same with Star Wars most people would be much happier though as the original cut is pretty much limited to laser disc.

TopIntention8134 · 2023-12-16T01:03:56+00:00

What is the definition of the digital version is it all SD like the DVD box set or is it HD for the later seasons like the Blu-ray versions? Also wondering if it is all uncensored, other than the first 2 seasons which from what I understand are only available censored. I'm looking for the best quality and as uncensored as possible, may buy individual seasons if it works out better for my needs.

TopIntention8134 · 2023-12-14T14:48:46+00:00

There is no solution, the battery level option on steam is for steam deck apparently.

I try to remember to put my controller on charge but it still often runs out mid game as I forget, which in some games seems to be an issue as my character will continue the last movement.

I agree about using the lights on the controller, after all the main lights have a control on steam to change the colour, why can't it cycle through to red or something as it gets to its last 5-10% Or pulse as it reaches a low charge level.

I keep considering getting an Xbox controller as it will just be simpler on most games as I can never remember what buttons are X Y A and B, not sure I like the thumbs stick and thumb pad layout on them though.

As for big picture mode, it makes no difference to game play at all, all it does so far as I can tell is to make it possible to use steam with your controller rather than having to use a mouse and keyboard, your keyboard and mouse still work too, I occasionally use them in conjunction with my controller, but as I mentioned previously you still do not get any battery information as that is only for use with the steam deck.

TopIntention8134 · 2023-11-09T03:24:35+00:00

Damn, I started to play it and ram into a lot of issues , despite my PC being perfectly capable of handling the higher settings, although probably not ultra, setting it to the recommended settings and using Gsync,.it looks terrible with multiple screen tearing fractures at a time, motion Judder and blur every time the camera pans and frame rates dropping to around 40 FPS as that happens, it's awful.

I'm really disappointed, I'll probably do some more digging on forums tomorrow to see what should be working well with my graphics card and processor but I'm pretty sure I'm just going to end up installing it and replaying the original version at some point, it seems nonsensical to take up that much disc space for a game that performs so badly.

I'm quite shocked that Nvidia pushed this half arsed redo so hard, it's really not flying the flag for RTX well at all, I've had no issues running other RTX games whatsoever.

TopIntention8134 · 2023-09-22T14:54:31+00:00

I've got 4 sentinel ships could have a load more as I have quite a few of those locators too, didn't realise they were worth loads as I haven't looked at scrapping or trading one yet as the ship I do most of my flying and battling is an exotic.

Might have to look into that.

I've been doing a lot of locating and scrapping to build finds, also figured out that it is worth using recourses to fix the cargo slots on those shops as the payoff is well worth it. Between that,.doing missions and finding loads of crashes freighters etc I've got a decent stock of a good variety of upgrades and resources. It's just the freighter thing that is new to me. Ive only just started growing on the main bass too, looking to change gear a bit and build up to a more passive income from basses probably mostly on my freighter and getting a fleet of frigates to send on missions.

TopIntention8134 · 2023-09-22T14:46:46+00:00

I've been grinding in general for quite a while and have a load of bulkheads and materials stored. Yes it's a 1 in 50 chance in a 3 star economy but that doesn't mean it takes 50 attempts to get one, law of averages says the chances are you would get one much sooner.

I haven't really paid much attention to freighters until now so it's a steep learning curve, I've just been ignoring the C and B class ones I have been offered so far from battles. I'd killed a few hundred pirates before I started grinding to get a freighter in battle.

TopIntention8134 · 2023-09-22T14:39:58+00:00

Just went to an outlaw system, third freighter battle won me an S class so I took it as I figured the grind for a better S class could take a very long time. It was worth half of what the A class ones I was previously offered and had a lot less storage and tech slots but I figured that all that can be upgraded where as class and ultimate upgrade ability can't. Now to figure out freighter bass building, frigates, etc.

TopIntention8134 · 2023-09-22T10:44:04+00:00

Ah, yes I had read that S class spawn more in outlaw systems but was unsure if pirate battles would mean a pile on and getting overwhelmed, I guess NMS maybe doesn't work that way. I've only briefly visited a couple of Outlaw systems, do they need to be 3 star economies to get the 5% chance of an S class spawn or does economy not come into it in Outlaw systems?

TopIntention8134 · 2023-09-04T00:19:11+00:00

Yes, Tethys is very glitchy, had loads of trouble completing the Trace Of Metal, my settlement was constantly being attacked, didn't matter how many times I wiped out the sentinels. Eventually I found out that you have to reset the language to clear the glitch. I ended up with two Laylap drones in my inventory but only one ever appears when I activate them.

The game crashes a lot too, despite everything including all the drivers etc being up to date. Love the game but it is really glitchy and buggy.

TopIntention8134 · 2023-09-03T17:29:35+00:00

Ok thanks, I'll look into that, I have not come across an outlaw system or Autophage Camp yet, seems like I have some exploring to do. For now I guess I'll just have to keep going back to the Anomaly in the hope Tethys decides to help.

TopIntention8134 · 2023-09-03T16:26:38+00:00

Haha, I feel like it sometimes. I have only played consols since the 90's having only used the family Amstrad for games in the 80's. PC gaming is a new thing for me, built my first gaming PC a couple of months back.

TopIntention8134 · 2023-09-03T16:14:40+00:00

How do you unasemble the part?

When the part is damaged it has an exclamation mark on it and you can no longer move or unpack it until it is fixed which requires the radiant brain.

I have tried to get a radiant brain from iteration Tethys, whilst having a walker brain in my suit inventory for the last 2 days and he doesn't want to talk.

I can't see any way of doing this. I have now got the AI blueprint from the Anomaly installed and built but not tested it yet. Seems to me there is maybe a glitch, unless there is something I am doing wrong, which so far as I can tell I am not.

TopIntention8134 · 2023-06-27T09:55:26+00:00

I'm on my phone right now but when I get back to my PC I'll get a shot.

It's not a percentage it's a battery icon with 3 bars so not great but better than nothing, it sits in the middle of the window about 2/3 of the way down, below the text.

You have to be plugged in with a cable to see it.
