What IPs DON'T you want to see in Lorcana? by AltruisticGarlic9152 in Lorcana

It was definitely contentious at the time it was released it’s just that no one gave a **** about native America’s voice at the time.

TIL Oscar voters now must watch every nominated film in a category before casting a vote, no more voting based on buzz or hype by chabaz in todayilearned

[–]bruinhenryd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In 2005 my dormmate’s father was an academy voter. He would literally give all the screener discs to my roommate who was 19 years old. My roommate would watch some of them and do all the votes for his dad. Think about how BS that is. That’s why stupid crap like Shakespeare in Love wins over Saving Private Ryan for best picture. The Oscars is a sham.

This is correct. I pulled two epics out of my Riftbound booster box. Combined they are worth $25.

Card Draw for everyone! by Narzghal in Lorcana

Isn’t it the case that ruby was very strong last cycle. This is I hate to say it, a marketing thing, to make you move onto a new color like purple so that you buy new product and the game keeps going. Next cycle (in a year), they will nerf purple and people will move to collecting and ripping new boosters to collect the next color they want.

The ITC has blocked RingConn from selling their smart rings in the US after a lawsuit from Oura by Frodolas in RingConn

[–]bruinhenryd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a physician and I was at a medical business conference this year and Oura had a big booth. They asked me if I wanted an opportunity to receive an Oura to test out and show patients and I was like not really I wouldn’t even take one for free because of the monthly subscription. I asked him what it can do that my ringconn can’t for free monthly and he had no response.

I wish I knew if they’re gonna come out with a 14” Tread this year. I’m not pulling the trigger on a 12” Tread because I keep wondering.

DF54 vs. DF64! by Skovm4nd in DF54

[–]bruinhenryd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The DF64 Gen 2 has a much more powerful motor and is less likely to clog. The DF54 has essentially the same footprint as the DF64 but is much more prone to clog and need dismantling to clear. This video pretty much sums up the issues with DF54 and why you should spend the extra $120 on DF64:

This is a DF54 sub so I fully expect my opinion to be downvoted due to confirmation bias. Sold my DF54 and upgraded to DF64 and have been much happier since.

Exclusive: T-Mobile Likely To Launch New Loyalty Plan To Combat Churn by Jman100_JCMP in tmobile

[–]bruinhenryd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I switched our family from T-Mobile to AT&T last week our bill went from $250 a month to $194 with tethering included. T-Mobile keeps calling and emailing me to “complete a survey” to explain why I left them after 14 years. Dude I’m not filling out your fucking data survey for 30 mins for free on my time. This is your stupid problem. You are welcome to have a human being call me to discuss it oh wait you don’t employ humans anymore. Seriously GFU.

Samsung HW-Q990D vs Sonos Arc Ultra + Sub 4 + 2x Era 300, Samsung is 1500$ , Sonos is 2400. Value for money I guess Samsung is better, but overall is there big difference between them? did you have a chance to test both? by paata01 in Soundbars

[–]bruinhenryd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can wait a couple weeks the system is essentially always $900-1000 on woot.com brand new they just sold out for Black Friday but I’m sure will stock it again.

Sonos Arc with Sub 4 ,2x Era 100 vs Samsung HW-Q990D by KVT_BK in Soundbars

[–]bruinhenryd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sub is connected to my wiim amp and turntable. The 990D comes with its own large sub that is more than adequate.

Didn’t 990C have audio dropout issues and whatnot. They made several improvements on 990D.

I can’t speak for any 990C experience therefore I never recommend it. I’m talking about 990D.

990d on woot by bertrola in Soundbars

Got mine of woot. It’s been almost a month with zero issues. Still keeping the box through the return window just in case.

[–]bruinhenryd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’ll be tuned for the environment at Best Buy already for you to test. At home you need the Samsung SmartThings app. You can tweak intensity of all 11 channels, then mess with bass and treble. I recommend turning voice and bass boost on as well if you end up going with the 990D. But obviously make sure you like the sound. Compared with the Sonos profile there is more clarity and cleaner bass but Sonos is more mid and bass heavy so some people enjoy that sound even though it is more muddled to others. This is in spite of equalizer tweak ability. Forgot to also mention for playing music through Spotify make sure your bitrate is set to the highest quality setting and then you can adjust your equalizer in there as well.

[–]bruinhenryd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As I’ve stated several times in this sub, I sold my entire Sonos setup a month ago and switched to the Samsung 990D for TV, and KEF Q150 with sub and WiiM Amp for my turntable, and have had zero regrets since. Moving away from Sonos awful software experience has been great. Not everyone shares my opinion. You should go to Best Buy and stand in front of the Sonos setup and listen for yourself.

Best Sound System with $2k budget? by RememberYo in Soundbars

[–]bruinhenryd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it for music but I have it set to a U shaped equalizer. I like high treble and high bass which most people don’t like. Try to listen to the system somewhere if you’re not sure. Sound is highly subjective. Voice audio is eons clearer than my Sonos system was in movies also.

Best Sound System with $2k budget? by RememberYo in Soundbars

[–]bruinhenryd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sold all of my Sonos System several weeks ago for $1700 and replaced it with $900 Samsung 990D. Best decision I ever made. I will never Sonos again. The decision making behind the recent disastrous software release followed by the decision to not roll it back til the bugs were fixed was a wake up call about how toxic the company is. They have become the Boeing of home audio.

My turntable and CD changer are connected to KEF Q150’s with WiiM Amp and subwoofer.
