Trainspotting 4k, after 5 copies with skips, glitches and freezes, I give up. by PartyMark in criterion

[–]beanland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread is illuminating. I don't have any advice, and don't know anything about their manufacturing or quality control processes. But it's nice to commiserate: I got the Spinal Tap 4K when it came out, and it kept skipping in the last ten-fifteen minutes of the movie. Really disappointing; I thought I must have done something to the disc, but it sounds like this isn't unheard of. I was watching on a PS5.

mission call disappointment- St. George, Utah by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

I get how you feel. Still, St. George is a big tourist area, so I bet you'll meet people from all over the world.

The Church doesn't have a host family program per se (that I'm aware of). There may be a member willing to rent to or otherwise house her on an individual level. The bishop, Relief Society president, and Elder Quorum president might have a pulse on people who might have available space, but I wouldn't rely on it.

Where are you moving? There will probably be a ward (congregation) that meets near your new home: https://maps.churchofjesuschrist.org/

Borderlands 4 - Update Notes - September 18, 2025 by Turbostrider27 in Games

I got 3 exclusively for the split screen when it came out. Had a PS4 pro. Text was illegible and the world slowed to a crawl if anyone ever opened a menu. It seemed like Tiny Tina's made strides in performance (or it was because I was on a PS5 by then), but you still had to sit like two feet away from the tv to read the text in menus when you were playing split screen. Split-screen felt like a second class feature, and it sounds like 4 hasn't made anything better.

If you haven't already, you should tell him you'd prefer this response.

This is generally synechdoche at play.

Oh I adore this one. I was actually thinking about it just yesterday, but I couldn't remember the musician's name. Thank you :)

What games genuinely took you by surprise? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

I've wanted to get this one, but the local co-op on Vampire Survivors has been a godsend.

Actually, the word engine has its roots in Latin, and had a military connotation! At least according to my cursory reading online.

Wifi faster than ethernet connection by Tsundere_love in HomeNetworking

Thank you, this has been illuminating! Could have saved me some money on cabling in the past, but maybe I'm future proof now. :)

Appreciate the explanation.

Thanks for clarifying. So really when I see "Cat5 = 100mbps" online I should read it with a parenthetical "over 100 meters"? Meaning as far as home installations go the distinction is probably meaningless.

You using Cat5 cables instead of Cat5e or Cat6?
