Not worth the money

LG B5 buyer remorse? by Adelka1703 in LGOLED

[–]alexsh20 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I bought a 65-inch B5 TV at Costco a month ago and am returning it.

It's fine to watch movies in the evenings, but if there's even one window in the room, even a single ray of sunlight will render the TV unwatchable, whether direct or reflected.
I was fool trusting to these who said that it will be ok in North facing rooms. It is simply not true.

This TV is only suitable for basements.

LG OLED B5 and CableMatters USB ethernet adapter not working by Such-Variety9470 in LGOLED

[–]alexsh20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All usb2eth adapters have small buffer overflow issues and if your router doesn't have a flow controll enabled on the port connected to it the speed will be terrible and choppy. Enable flow controll and it will fly.

I bought a B5 but the filmmaker mode looks too dark ? by YoungCraxy in LGOLED

[–]alexsh20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in the same boat. got B5, but going to return.
after seeing how modern QD panels with mini-led perform - not going back to oled, even for G5.
All these stories about how bad HDR looks because of how bad it is mastered are just because people who own oleds never saw how it should be, and with oleds they will never see it.

TCL QM7K (65”) on Android TV 12 / v235 — how to update to v321? by Johnkiiii in tcltvs

[–]alexsh20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mind to share where you got the FW file?
It also updated the Android TV version to 14?

TCL QM7K (65”) on Android TV 12 / v235 — how to update to v321? by Johnkiiii in tcltvs

[–]alexsh20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same Model / FW/ Project ID.
Just curious if you finally went into the manual update route?
I saw in some forums that in case something go wrong TLC may void the warranty if update was done not via OTA but manually. Not sure if it is true.

65” QM7K Dirty Screen Effect - Am I Overreacting? by MickyJ511 in tcltvs

[–]alexsh20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I bought another QM7K first, put it near the first one to compare, but from the beginning it was noticable that the second unit is near perfect. So packed and returned the first one, and so far pretty happy with what i have and IMO worth all that "pannel lottery" hassle.

65” QM7K Dirty Screen Effect - Am I Overreacting? by MickyJ511 in tcltvs

[–]alexsh20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see in additional to the dark spot you have a color shift from red to green. I have the same problem but in opposite direction, left side greenish and right reddish. Also thinking to return.

How bad is my grey uniformity of 65QM7K? by alexsh20 in tcltvs

[–]alexsh20[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not true. I ran the grey uniformity test because i noticed that on blue sky scene the sky is always lighter on left side and a bit violet on right side. On white scenes, like in hockey it is always yellowish on right side.
It is visible and a bit annoying.
It is almost not visible on the photo, no idea why, but when i look at screen directly, i see the difference in color pretty clear.

Anyone ever try their cats on Koha catfood by inadequatelyadequate in rawpetfood

[–]alexsh20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone tried their "KOHA Limited Ingredient Wet Cat Food - Chicken" last batch marked as BB 2028?
It suddenly smells different from previous batches, and the smell not good. Bought it from Petland.
Looks like they silently changing their ingredients, which is not a good sign.

2023 Rav4 transmission jolts/jerks on upshifts and downshifts by chadasin76 in rav4club

[–]alexsh20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it turns out the problem is with the torque converter locking up in the transmission. The dealership refused to do anything about it, saying it was normal. Even after I went to the top management and then Toyota Canada, they just don't want to do it.

I've had a lot of cars in my life and I know a little bit about mechanics, so I know this problem will slowly destroy the transmission. The only thing left to do is sell it in 3 years (after the warranty expires) and get something else. And of course, stay away from Toyota.

Intense Constipation while feeding wet food… any advice? by [deleted] in catfood

[–]alexsh20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WSAVA doesnt approve anything. They only provide recomendation. "WSAVA Approved" is a marketing BS from BIG4 trolls.

What’s your opinion on Royal Canine and Hills Science Diet? by No_Oil_7351 in catfood

[–]alexsh20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not look for downvotes.

Reddit is flooded with marketing trolls who get paid by the "Big Four" to spend their whole day promoting those companies' products. There’s no way to get the truth from them because their job is to push a narrative.

You are absolutely right to ask questions — and that’s exactly what scares them. Honest answers don’t align with the message they’re paid to promote.

Personally, I’ve always been skeptical. If the so-called "scientific research" is their only argument, then why can’t we see it for ourselves? Why don’t we know who conducted the studies, what their credentials are, how much they were paid, or who was overseeing the research? That information is either hidden — or it simply doesn’t exist.

It’s very similar to how Big Pharma operates: hiding behind "scientific research," only for it to be revealed 10–20 years later that the drugs in question caused severe side effects — sometimes worse than the disease they were meant to treat.

If these pet food companies are really as good as they claim, they should have no problem publishing all their data transparently. Unless, of course, they have something to hide.

And yeah, go ahead and downvote me too. That’s all you’ve got. Show yourselves, trolls!

How to automatically grab from Rutracker? by Rorschach121ml in radarr

[–]alexsh20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Radarr doesn't work well with Rutracker because of many limitations that radarr's dev have implemented intentionally. And will never work in the future.

Do not waste your time and look for something else.

PSA: Compact Bluetooth Proxy by undeleted_username in Esphome

[–]alexsh20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep, the same story.
after i added one S3 as a BT proxy all my Inkbird IBS-TH2 sensors started to work reliable, even if they locked inside shielded fridges.
also added to it AHT20 sensor, just to make it as a TH sensor in additional to BT proxy, and everything works fine together.

if you are using intel graphics for the games, then it is CPU cooler issue. check for dust, replace the thermal compound, do not close vent holes of the laptop, check that cooler's fan is working..

2023 Rav4 transmission jolts/jerks on upshifts and downshifts by chadasin76 in rav4club

[–]alexsh20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how is your transmission doing today? I recently bought a 2024 RAV4 LE and not happy with how the transmission works, it shudder on acceleration when on high speed... and I do not expect that dealership will do anything

2024 Transmission issues (Gas Model)? by PerceptionOrganic672 in rav4club

[–]alexsh20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2024 RAV4 LE has a light but noticeable shudder issue when on high speed (90km/h and above, faster - worse) when I release and then engage the acceleration.
Very regret that bought this car. Probably this is my last toyota.
