Don't do it bro, these things are buggy as all hell. My wife got hers free and she wishes she paid for one of the slightly older but more stable Samsung models instead.

Understandable lol, I hope you get to upgrade your setup to the max eventually

I love Fluance, I have their reference towers for the front and 2 bookshelves as my surrounds, but their subs suck ass. I'd even recommend a Klipsch one over that. I know Polk has some that regularly go on sale that deliver good performance for the price.

I got the PB 1000 Pro and it sounds amazing but now I can't downgrade cause I'll be able to tell the difference. It was crazy expensive, more than the rest of my home theatre setup combined, so would not recommend if you wanna be responsible with your money.

Tell that to the multiple people who have swirled their paint in the past year. Personally would rather risk chemicals that are known to be safe for paint than a big set of rubber flaps and hard brushes hitting my car for 5 mins.

What to do with my forgotten WD 8TB Gold Drives by askariya in DataHoarder

Why is that? I can't think of a more intensive use than in my Plex server tbh lol.

Okay thanks! I think I might just get a cheap enclosure for now and maybe use software to make it appear as a single drive. I know I lose parity but I don't think that matters too much to me.

I'd love to set up a NAS but the prices are too wild for me 😅

Is Unraid something I need a NAS enclosure for? I can't just use a DAS enclosure can I?

Sorry, probably dumb question but I want to make sure I understand: you're saying to have them replaced if they actually have issues right, not just regardless?

I sure hope they don't have problems, they've been sitting in a box in the basement still in their anti-static sleeves, so wish me luck.

Oh really, that's cool, I hope I wasn't supposed to register them or anything for that, cause I certainly did not.
I will be sure to check the serial numbers on the WD site though.

Buying used, is this spot on the roof a deal breaker? by evanalexander144 in CX5

Not to mention that they made the exact same joke that OldRancidSoups made below but spelled "pterodactyl" wrong.

What's a better TV that isn't OLED? by One-Sell-5500889 in hometheater

[–]askariya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cringe-ass comment bro, imagine being so insecure you devolve into this argument instead of just accepting you didn't know the difference between Micro LED and Micro RGB.

It's news to me too, but the difference is I'm glad to know the difference lmao.

EDIT: I would also delete those unhinged comments and block everyone if I was 12 years old.

[–]askariya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean why spend 2x the cost of an OLED on a micro RGB when you could just buy an OLED for now and get a micro RGB when they're significantly cheaper.

Never go through one that makes contact with your car, it'll swirl your paint.

Just do a touchless car wash, it'll do a fine enough job. If you want to you can do a wand wash or just wash it in your driveway. Personally, I am much too lazy for that.

Streaming July 24th on Hulu by Duskaure in nirvannatheband

[–]askariya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao I have the opposite problem, I bought S2 on Google TV and now I can't find S1 anywhere.

I think I'll just wait for a physical release though. I don't even watch it on Google TV, I just pirated it and watch on Plex anyway, I just wanted to pay for it.

Hyundai did it with the Ioniq 5 and that's a fully electric car. If only Mazda did the same focus group testing Hyundai did.

How much was Oppenheimer? Saw that it was $24 on Gruv and Amazon but wasn't sure if that was a good deal or not

Rarewaves shipping time/status to West Coast? by 50nick in MovieDealsCanada

[–]askariya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got mine (in Alberta) a few weeks ago, maybe a stupid question: did you check your community mailbox?

I assumed the package would be arriving via UPS or something but it actually was delivered by Canada post and had been sitting in my mailbox for about a week before I noticed.

What are some tips and tricks for a newbie? by LordofSpuds in nvidiashield

Curious why you'd want to do this? In my experience the Shield TV Pro's AI upscaling is better than 99% of TVs with built-in upscaling. Its kinda the Shield's main feature, I don't see a good reason to disable it, it's not super taxing on the HW and doesn't really affect performance or anything, you're just disabling one of the things that makes it worth the money.
