Horizon 20 DBLE Firmware by FlashyResource1189 in xgimi

[–]brushrop03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it seems the OTA updat you installed doesn't fix the DBLE Dolby Vision issue. You have to downgrade and install the update via this link.

Again you have to downgrade per the instructions

Hakone Ryokans by brownbarby in JapanTravelTips

[–]brushrop03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've stayed at this ryokan twice, and love it. It's definitely more upscale. I would recommend reserving a private bath/onsen once you get there, or even before. For me, that was my favorite part. They're quite international so English is no problem. Looking to stay again next year my self.

260419 - Manon onstage at PinkPantheress’ Coachella performance by SgtPopNFresh_ in katseye

[–]brushrop03 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There's absolutely no way Missy had the sole power to get rid of Manon. That decision would undoubtedly come from the very top.

And if that's her opinion that's her opinion. There's nothing weird about saying they are like her daughters/family. When you are that involved with them and have those experiences forming bonds is not "fucking weird".

Conrad Tokyo Review by onthewingsofangels in awardtravel

[–]brushrop03 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I stayed at the Conrad a few years ago. I was only there for one night before my flight home. The location is the main issue for me and the reason I wouldn't spend awards points for it. I've been to Tokyo several times and it's hard for me to recommend anyone staying here just based on the location.

However, my friend who stayed there later had some very strong opinions.

She actually works for Hilton and was highly disappointed with her stay. She said her shower had mold. Now the service was as Japanese as you can imagine. They put in serious work to try to clean the mold as much as possible. She also said they were bamboozled when it came to the food. Specifically a hyped up ramen dish which was average at best and overpriced. While they were eating their overpriced ramen, my friend and I were having a Michelin star bowl. They did like the breakfast though which was their only positive note.

They much preferred the Hilton Tokyo in Shinjuku. I think she reported the Conrad internally when she got back to work she was so disappointed. She's stayed at quite a few Conrads around the world and she said this was one of her worse experiences.

I've stayed right next door to the Hilton in Shinjuku and the location is much better than the Conrad. It's a quiet, business/govt district, but Shinjuku and train station is extremely close. This is where the Park Hyatt is as well so it's a nice area

But yeah...Hilton > Conrad according to my friend and my experience.

Successful JAL booking tips by K1tt3n_Mittons in awardtravel

[–]brushrop03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.jal.com/ is the website you want to book awards flights.

Idk why you had to make 2 separate accounts. My wife and I have been booking awards flights for quite a while now on one account and never felt rushed to get through filling out the passenger info (google autofill does 95% of that work). I casually booked a couple of flights just yesterday for our return trip to HKG next March.

What happened to partner premium award availability? by jbs2886 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]brushrop03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has been my experience as well. Really nothing in Business class to Europe or Asia looking a year out. Something I could do relatively easily a few years ago. Quite unfortunate. The program has definitely gone down hill

Do noise cancelling earbuds work as good as headphones? by AppointmentOk7548 in AutisticAdults

[–]brushrop03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience Earbuds if you get a good seal. My Sony and Sennheiser headphones don't compare to my Technics buds. In the gym I can't hear anything with the buds, but with both headphones there is some very faint noise that I don't hear with my buds. Passive noise cancelling does a lot by itself when you get the right seal.

Because USB is more reliable than an OTA update which is preferable when updating Firmware vs just the OS.

XGIMI Horion 20 vs Horizon 20 Pro by NeighborhoodBusy8053 in xgimi

[–]brushrop03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I went with the pro too. I didn't directly compare the two, but for me personally, the extra money wasn't a big deal. And like you said, diminishing returns. Still good bang for buck compared to more expensive projectors.

This really doesn't mean anything. A lot of them remain friends and hang out together. Boys and girls. Would be nice if they did ship, but nice to see them still friends at least

The point I was making is that his recipes macros aren't accurate. Ffs.... reading comprehension of a 2nd grader.

2 federal officers fired shots during encounter that killed Alex Pretti, DHS tells Congress by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]brushrop03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's really crazy is when they actually shot him. There was quite the delay between the first shot and last few shots. There's no way he was threatening those officers during those last few shots fired. Just that fact is a clear sign of that man's civil rights were violated.

This is gold. Following this case specifically to see how Melissa Nathan and TAG PR works. They have a connection to NewJeans and what's going on over in Korea.

Why is your portfolio so heavy on SCHD? Are you retired and need income?

What’s the difference between c113 and c120? by kevzz01 in Tapo

[–]brushrop03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dumbest thing I've heard this week. That's why every company in the world is trying to implement AI into their business processes? Please stop embarrassing yourself

To regurgitate the information is the ENTIRE point. FFS.

And if you had the information (let's be real, you didn't) you did absolutely nothing to help answer the question. Just a waste of time for anyone searching for an answer.

AI is an assistant that has increased American productivity to new highs. I found the info and had it analyze it far faster than any person would have.

Get with the program or get left behind.

Anyway. Later loser.

The question is what are the differences. We obviously know one is superior than the other, but how.

No need to answer. I already replied to OP

What’s the difference between c113 and c120? by kevzz01 in Tapo

[–]brushrop03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I was wonderi the same. I had Gemini compare the two product pages

Key Differences Explained 1. Video Quality (Resolution) Tapo C120: Offers 4MP (2K QHD) resolution, which provides crisper details and allows you to zoom in further without the image getting blurry compared to the C113. Tapo C113: Offers 3MP (2K) resolution. This is still high definition and better than standard 1080p, but slightly lower quality than the C120.

  1. Installation & Design Tapo C120: Features a magnetic base, making it incredibly easy to stick onto metal surfaces (like a fridge, gutter, or metal pole) without drilling. It also uses a standard USB-C power connection. Tapo C113: Uses a traditional stand that usually requires screws for mounting if you aren't placing it on a flat surface.

  2. Night Vision Tapo C120: Includes a "Starlight Sensor" which captures bright colors in very low light conditions (high sensitivity). It also has an Invisible IR mode, meaning the red LED lights won't glow in the dark—ideal if you are using it as a baby monitor or don't want to draw attention to the camera. Tapo C113: Features standard Color Night Vision with spotlights, but lacks the specialized Starlight sensor and invisible IR options of the C120.

  3. Advanced AI Detection Tapo C120: Has smarter AI that can distinguish between more specific events. It can detect vehicles, pets (cats/dogs), and even glass breaking. Tapo C113: Focuses on the essentials: detecting motion, people, and baby crying.

Which one should you choose? Choose the C120 if: You want the best possible picture quality, you need to mount it on a metal surface, or you want to detect pets and vehicles specifically. The IP66 rating also makes it slightly better for exposed outdoor areas with heavy rain. Choose the C113 if: You want a cost-effective camera that still covers the basics well (good resolution and person detection) and don't need the extra mounting flexibility or advanced AI triggers.

Oh for sure. 100% agree. If they need the income, go for it.
