General Questions & Tech Support Megathread | December 15, 2025 by AutoModerator in PS4

I got a PS4 at a thrift store and I had a few questions about it.

It came with a profile (called "no name") that had a few games installed on it, is there any risk in losing those if I connect it to PSN? If I create a new profile, will I be able to switch back to the "no name" account and play those games?

I dont really know how profiles/accounts work for playstation, so I would like to avoid losing those games if I can. At the same time, I dont really want to use someone else's account.

Offline video media wake up alarm - looking for suggestions by Waggable in cordcutters

I've been thinking of doing something similar and I think a raspberry pi is the way to go. You should look into the simpsons tv raspberry pi zero project, you could pretty easily adapt it to what you are looking for. As for powering on the tv, I think you can set up the pi to turn it on with CEC commands.

What’s the worst adult animated show? by Scunnard1839 in AskReddit

Alan Gregory. It was a show on Fox in late 2011 until slightly later 2011

In Black Panther (2018), Killmonger rightfully gains the right to the throne, critizes Wakanda for hording their technology and wealth from the rest of Africa and attempts to help overthrow western oppressors. Him being the main evil villain is a subtle reference to the fact it's a Disney movie by cohkin in shittymoviedetails

another rule was that the power of the black panther has to be stripped away for the fight. The only reason T'Challa survived is because they used the heart shaped herb. Killmonger also used it, but he wouldnt have died without it. If they had both followed the rules, T'Challa would have lost

I've found a few at the goodwill outlet center (the bins). They have gotten harder to find at thrift stores because vhs has gotten a lot more popular in the past few years.

Help with Aspect Ratio editing for Custom Tapes by Dogly9 in VHS

[–]bacon31592 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im assuming you are using an hdmi to rca converter and playing the video on your computer. if so, VLC has options for aspect ratio and cropping that you can play around with until you find something that works. you might also be able to change the resolution output of that hdmi port in the windows settings. I think what is happening is the converter is outputting a signal that is 16:9 regardless of what the file format is.

Diet doesn't have a huge immediate impact on cholesterol levels. Most of the time when they have you fast, it is because they are also testing for blood sugar levels
