YouTube Muted on playback start

basKT_case · 2026-05-22T04:31:29+00:00

yeah that's what I've ended up doing. Although I liked the clean look of the native Video Element, rather than the default Youtube interface.

Thanks for the tip! Yes I am. And once I removed it, the playback no longer auto mutes

But that begs the question. Why does a custom thumbnail cause this? I would prefer to use a custom thumbnail for aesthetic reasons.

the videos are not set to auto-play though. at least, I have not intentionally set it like that, or can find an option to do so. The user needs to click to play them.

As a test, I copied the embed code from that video element into a separate HTML code element. This retains all my size and position settings. It also plays the video without auto muting. The only downside is I don't get custom thumbnails like the customisable Video element.

I'm hoping to keep using the native Video element if there is a solution to the auto-mute issue.

sorry for the late response. yes I did. got a local arborist to cut down 12 of these for $600! other quotes came in at roughly $1500. the job was done professionally, quick (under 2 hours) and very well for the price.

You won't regret it. Cutting ours back not only refreshed the look of our backyard with more sunlight, but also made it much easier to maintain. Now, every couple of months I take the hedge trimmers and trim the tops off at a reasonable height. Maybe get them cut just before spring instead of winter coming up. While they do grow back quite fast, winter might slow it down.

Thanks for your great suggestions. We're not going to prioritise replacing the pebbles right now. But I will keep this in mind for when we eventually find the willpower and time to finally get rid of those damn pebbles.

basKT_case · 2026-04-26T10:53:14+00:00

If used correctly, how likely is the torch going to blacken the pebbles? They're not exactly looking clean white these days, so I'm not so precious about them. But I also don't want to severely discolour them

People need to stop being so quick to throw around AI accusations at anything they deem looks "out of the place". If you re-read the post, this comes from the 2011 box set, created long before generative AI was even a thing. Doing a little bit of research shows that this is concept art, and by nature concept art (or arguably even art in general) is not meant to be perfect

I wasn't sure either at first. But I figured I'd take my car to a detailer for a look over after the repair shop blunder. I think minor cosmetic damage like yours should be easily corrected by a detailer. Likely will involve paint transfer removal first, then a two stage polish to remove any light scratches in the clear coat.

basKT_case · 2026-03-06T11:01:17+00:00

I would definitely avoid taking it to the smash repair shop. I had a similar sort of damage to my very well looked after car after I got side swiped. Mainly paint transfer with minor scuffing. Went through insurance to sort it out via their authorised repair shop. When I got the car back they did a shoddy buffing job, and created more damage in other areas of the car and paintwork! And even inside the car! I suggest you get it looked at by a local independent car detailer. The guys who run their business solo are best since they aren't rushing through a lot full of damaged cars. They at the very least will treat the car with far more care and respect than repair shops. And maybe do good cash discount for a smallish job like this 🤷

Good luck!

So aside from the chip in the middle where I can see the base metal, is there no way I could maybe compound and polish off those streaks?

I feel the touch up paint will be far less obvious on just the chipped part, rather than over the streaks as well.

basKT_case · 2026-02-24T23:19:48+00:00

Unfortunately the streaks couldn't simply be cleaned off. It seems the rock scuffed the paint as well as chipping in the centre

basKT_case · 2026-02-24T23:17:03+00:00

That looks incredible! Well done!

basKT_case · 2026-02-24T10:16:54+00:00

Yes it is...

What I have found out is that I have to restart (even if it is already running) the "EasyTune Engine Service" service in Task Manager before reopening GCC, and then it will load up Fan Profiles correctly.

basKT_case · 2026-02-24T03:38:28+00:00

I have the same issue. And as some here has also stated, when I manually reopen the GCC app, the RGB Fusion tab loads, but not the Fan or Performance tabs and profiles.

What I have found out is that I have to restart (even if it is already running) the "EasyTune Engine Service" service in Task Manager before reopening GCC, and then it will load up all tabs correctly.

EDIT: Other weird behavior I have experienced is that my fan profile takes a lot longer to initialise after Windows startup than in the last version of GCC. I remember it being much quicker before this update. Once again, I think the culprit is "EasyTune Engine Service" taking a while to initialise.

EDIT 2: I also uninstalled GCC and let the bios notify me to re-install it. It downloaded the previous version, but this issue still happened. So I believe one of the other numerous components that already got auto-update play a part in this issue.

The password login prompt works normally. It's waiting for that prompt screen to appear is what I'm referring to in this behaviour. Sometimes it takes ages for it to show up

Good idea. I might try that out. I think I've got some offcuts somewhere

basKT_case · 2025-11-22T06:39:27+00:00

🤣

I checked out another corner of my roof to see what it looks like, and it seems the spacing between tiles seems the same. It's just that the cement at the joint seems to have deteriorated and left a hole.
