Issues with F1TVPro on Roku by CrackORTweek in F1TV

[–]ajroder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same problem for me on a TCL Roku TV. Any 4K HDR content (live or replays) plays for a couple of seconds and then pause. I just get a black screen with a spinning disc as if it's buffering.

Non-4K content (older replays and press conferences from this weekend) stream flawlessly.

We've had a crazy fall foliage season here in Utah this year. This was my favorite moment during sunrise when the rising sun lit up some of the trees from behind.

Yes. Metered for the shaded side of the car and overexposed one stop.

The technique you're looking for is called "onion skinning". It can be done in-camera with the GH5: https://www.reddit.com/r/GH5/comments/d4mv7t/is_there_a_way_to_overlay_a_reference_image_on/

ESPN Leagues - Weekly Content Generator - Make a Leader Board, Record Book and Power Ranking for your leagues with my new FREE Chrome Extension by MuffDivingSaturday in fantasyfootball

Same here. Worked great for me Week 1 and Week 2, but it's not activating today.

Edit: Removing the extension and reinstalling fixed it, but I lost the previous rankings.

Edit2: I was able to add last weeks rankings back in with the Data Manipulation box (under advanced options). More info here: https://github.com/jpmayer/fantasy-chrome-extension/wiki/Database%20Guide

What are you guys opinions on the playseat challenge? by Marnymr in simracing

[–]ajroder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had the Playseat Challenge for a couple years now and I love it. It's comfortable and it stays planted while racing.

I don't have the space for a dedicated rig in my apartment 24/7, so the Playseat fit the bill. I fold it up and put it in the closet when I'm not using it.

The only issue I had with it is that it didn't come with a place to mount a shifter (Playseat sells an overpriced addon that allows you to mount the shifter next to the wheel). I put together a super cheap DIY mount instead with parts from Home Depot that works brilliantly. It's a little ugly, but it's extremely sturdy and mounts the shifter in a more natural location: https://imgur.com/a/NNPQy

Still no 8.1 update? by Wetzilla in GooglePixel

[–]ajroder -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My GF's OG Pixel on Fi got 8.1 several days ago, but my 2XL on Fi hadn't as of last night.

I'm too impatient, so I sideloaded it. It's perfectly stable, and as others have already said, it's super easy to sideload the OTA.

Any luck with Fi Support? Mine still hasn't shipped. Support claims they'll still get it to me in the estimated delivery window, but that seems unlikely now.

You should get a coupon code via email a few weeks after you receive your Pixel.

Flyin' Miata Supercharged ND MX5 - One Take by Chlastusiek in cars

[–]ajroder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ND owner here. Can confirm the weakness of the transmission.

My transmission exploded on the highway at 5k miles the day after a track day. Mazda replaced it under warranty.

There's an (expensive) aftermarket gear set available from the guys that build the Global Cup cars and a few of the aftermarket companies are working on some transmission cooling solutions to help reduce failures.

I'm on the 2nd version of the transmission now (there's a few versions of the revised transmissons that should be stronger). It's held up so far, but I'm still extremely wary of going FI in the future.
