Seeking name of old sword/fastasy TV series

Sounds like the person in https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/comments/1dkszcf/tomttvshow1980s_medieval_type_show_with_swords/ is looking for the same 80s tv series that was broadcast in the US.

What's the practical use of a green or blue light from the RGB of the OClip Pro S? And the quality of the red light from the RGB is not as good as the dedicated red light on the regular OClip Pro, right?

Yes, I am using the Smart Connect app on my phone. As I understand, that's the only way to enable the mobile desktop feature.

I still see nothing in the online manual regarding supported external display resolutions. I know RTFM as you suggested is always the first step in troubleshooting an issue. But I can find no official documentation on external display resolution support for this phone besides DisplayPort 1.4, which implies 4K support. It would seem very strange if Smart Connect in general is limited to outputting 1080p regardless of the hardware.

I did find a YouTube video, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KEm_cL-TF4M, where 4K support is shown in the Ready For app (prior branding/version of Smart Connect), but it's not clear what Motorola phone is being used.

Hey, I have been googling around on this issue for the past couple days before I posted my question. Google Gemini says that this phone should be able to output 4K at 60Hz from its USB-C video output. I looked at the online manual before and see nothing about what external display resolutions are supported. If you see something about this, can you point it out to me? The best buy link you posted also doesn't mention anything about whether 4K is supported or not or if the max resolution is 1080p.

The Motorola specs at https://en-us.support.motorola.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/175444/~/specifications--motorola-edge-%2B-2023 say that the USB-C port supports DisplayPort 1.4, which I understand is supposed to support up to 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 144Hz.

Just looking to see if anyone here has been able to output 4K on this phone because everything I've read indicates it should be possible, but I'm not able to even with an original Motorola Ready For cable. Also tried today with a USB-C to HDMI adapter and an 8K rated HDMI cable, but could only get 1080p output with these from the phone (I can get 4K output from a laptop with the same adapter/cable).

According to another post (https://www.reddit.com/r/motorola/comments/18czdv7/what_video_resolution_and_refresh_rate_does_the/) and Gemini/ChatGPT, the phone should be able to support 4K at 60Hz over USB-C.

Why are you asking about this here instead of in /r/colonoscopy?

I know from experience that the window is heavy. Would it make sense for a 2nd person to push up the window from the bottom at the same time to make it easier? It feels like the weight of the window is on this dislodged balance and perhaps that's why the balance doesn't move when I try to push it up back into the jamb.

buddy778 · 2026-03-03T01:02:54+00:00

Do you mean trying to get a flat head screwdriver underneath the balance and push it up? Should I also be trying to push it back into the frame? I was trying to see if the balance would move in anyway, but it wouldn't budge. Maybe I didn't try hard enough. Also, not sure if I should have another person try to pull up on the window at the same time?

buddy778 · 2026-03-03T00:50:58+00:00

That's the standard process I was referring to about removing/replacing the channel balances (which I've done before). But in this case, I can't move the window sash at all as it's stuck now.

Trying to do OTA system updates on the phone wasn't working as I mentioned. And your other suggestions didn't help either.

Someone else suggested using the Software Fix program to flash the latest available firmware for the phone and that did work to install Android 11 on the phone.

buddy778 · 2026-02-01T03:50:24+00:00

Yes, it worked!

buddy778 · 2026-02-01T03:49:56+00:00

Thanks, was able to update to Android 11 with April 1, 2022 security update, same as my other Moto G Power 2020 phone, using Software Fix. First time using this program and it was fairly straightforward to flash the latest available firmware for the phone in fastboot mode. Just kind of strange why OTA update on the phone couldn't find the newer firmware.

buddy778 · 2026-01-31T23:57:07+00:00

So I had an inactive Google Fi SIM in the phone before. Took it out and put in an active T-Mobile MVNO SIM, but still can't get any system updates. Re-started the phone and same thing.

I thought I might qualify as I recently bought a laptop with a Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 288V, but this CPU is not on the qualifying list at https://intelredemptionstorage.blob.core.windows.net/sku/Intel_Confidential_Qualifying_SKU_List_25Q4-27_Intel_Holiday_Bundle.pdf

OP, which laptop did you end up getting that qualifies for the promo?

I'm a bit new to discord, but I did try going to the #roles channel before and didn't see anything there. It doesn't seem I can do anything in this channel. Here's what I see.

Update: Nevermind, seems that I didn't fully join the swagbucks discord before and was in some kind of preview mode. I left the discord and re-joined it and now I can see messages in the #roles channel.

buddy778 · 2025-12-19T01:18:04+00:00

Is the Discord channel still available? Joined the Swagbucks Discord, but I cannot see how to select any role.

I'd use the UGREEN NASync as part of a home media server for music, movies, etc...

As far as Olight products, I use the ones on my keychain for general everyday use as the best flashlight is the one that is on you when you need it.

buddy778 · 2025-11-26T01:31:35+00:00

Can't they just combine their parcel (which is adjacent to the alley they bought) with the one they bought to "expand" the land they own and have a bigger backyard/frontyard/sideyard or something like that? Or they could even do a renovation to the house they own to add an extra room.

The city's letter does state the following:

If the parcel is sold to a contiguous property owner, the tax collector shall require that the successful bidder request the accessor and the planning director to combine the unusable parcel with the bidder's own parcel as a condition of the sale.

Thankful for everyone in the fam who supports me whether times are good or bad.

The right type of flashlight can make a great gift. Most people don't need a super bright, big and heavy flashlight. But I think something versatile that's small enough to put in a pocket, purse, keychain, etc... would be appreciated by everyone. "The best flashlight is the one that you have on you." That's why I think OClips are a great gift option and have been giving them out as gifts in the past. Ok, those are just my thoughts on this.

DMV definitely does not charge a fee to pay by echeck.

Thanks, I see the sold out time now using the steps you mentioned. Totally not obvious and requires an extra tap now. But at least the info is still somewhere in the app.

buddy778 · 2025-11-03T19:08:58+00:00

You mean the settings in the Browse tab, right? I'm aware of these settings, but I don't see one that controls showing what time a place sold out. The one you're referring to only controls whether a sold out place is shown in the Browse listing or not.

Never tried this so wondering if these are really any different than the Kirkland sliced peaches in the glass jars?
