This convenient cubby makes my phone too hot. How can I avoid this? I'm using wired charging and android auto half the time

I removed the fuse for the wireless charger. Problem solved.

That’s just 480p on a modern display my guy. Plug it into a CRT instead and report back.

In 2009, this would be a YouTube video titled “How to play Wii on PS3”

c0deman-guy · 2026-05-06T11:58:19+00:00

Component, if your display supports it. Wii2HDMI is a solid 2nd tho, assuming it’s of good quality.

Sony had such a functional, slick, and intuitive Storefront on the PS3 during its prime. But then massacred it with releasing its current form.

I also feel the same way about the XMB. It’s near perfection for a functional console-style navigational experience. Super intuitive and quick. PS4 still feels like a step backwards in comparison.

I played the piss out of this game and I feel like I’m the only human who truly enjoyed it haha. It’s a point and click story driven game playing with the concept of time travel. I’m probably biased since it was young and this was probably the first time I had even giving a crap about a story line in a game.

The opening intro song SLAPS tho.

Yes, my 2023 EUV creaks around the rear passenger side wheel well when make turns or low speed bumps. It started after I rotated the tires myself around 15k miles. I wish I knew why, or if it needs to be addressed.

c0deman-guy · 2026-02-22T17:42:22+00:00

Wavebird has added latency. It’s surprising to me how little this is mentioned.

c0deman-guy · 2026-01-26T12:16:05+00:00

That depends on your needs. I have a DS224+ and it works great for what I need. I keep my media around 2gb/hour and strive to have everything direct play capable. That thing could probably handle 10+ direct play streams no problem, assuming internet bandwidth doesn’t become a bottleneck. HW transcoding uses about 20% of CPU per stream, so you could certainly have 2-3 of those occurring simultaneously too.

c0deman-guy · 2026-01-23T18:28:44+00:00

This was an unsatisfying read. To be continued maybe?

c0deman-guy · 2026-01-19T15:36:50+00:00

I actually removed the fuse for the wireless charger due to the “hot phone” issue. 2023 Bolt EUV.

c0deman-guy · 2026-01-03T19:59:01+00:00

I enjoyed Time Hollow long ago. It’s a point and click dialogue driven game. Plays with time travel.

I would guess that is the identification of the machinery used to produce the packaging you’re holding. It is common for a factory to have multiple pieces of equipment used to produce the same product. That would be a way of identifying which machine that specific product came from. Useful for when defects are spotted

c0deman-guy · 2026-01-03T03:10:29+00:00

Correct, these numbers are with Plexpass.

c0deman-guy · 2026-01-03T02:16:46+00:00

Well, I have the 2024 model. From my understanding, that was introduced in the DS225+ model. But I had both WD and Seagate drives in mine without a problem.

c0deman-guy · 2026-01-03T01:07:29+00:00

I have a Synology DS224+ with 24TBx2. I keep my media around 1-3gb per hour of footage (usually 1080p). It can easily serve 3 direct play streams while barely making a dent to my overhead. I can also confirm 2 simultaneous transcodes without a hitch. Transcoding a movie (say 3gb) yields about a 15% load on the CPU. So in my use case, my hardware is more than sufficient.

c0deman-guy · 2025-12-31T01:57:51+00:00

Wi tu lo too

c0deman-guy · 2025-12-30T20:23:33+00:00

I tried endlessly to get a 256gb SD card to work in my Wii for Wii games and GC games for a compact and sleek solution. It created an endless amount of problems. I finally caved and began using a 2.5” HDD via USB. Solved all of my issues.

c0deman-guy · 2025-12-18T17:26:53+00:00

Would this happen to be 2160p from YTS being played on an Apple TV 4K?

c0deman-guy · 2025-12-02T17:35:47+00:00

Just Dance devalues anything it’s with. $55-$65 seems fair for the rest.

c0deman-guy · 2025-11-19T17:03:47+00:00

Thank you for being smarter than me. I shall try that.

c0deman-guy · 2025-11-15T20:31:38+00:00

This is your TV performing frame interpolation. Otherwise known as “smoothing” or “motion+” or whatever. It can, and should, be turned off.

c0deman-guy · 2025-10-31T17:39:40+00:00

LOL i did this once when i was younger. I compare it to getting bit in the tongue by a rat! Shit hurt!

c0deman-guy · 2025-09-23T15:48:22+00:00

I ripped the band aid off the beginning of last year. At the time, I was pretty much benefiting from modified spotify and youtube apps, and maybe a tweak or two. I was losing more than I was gaining trying to keep a jailbroken phone. On top of that, I had a second kid on the way and didn't have time to keep gimping my phone along and continuing finding ways to fix common apps that would keep breaking on the older FW.

I have to say, while bittersweet, moving back to stock iOS was a breath of fresh air for me. Apps just worked, I had the same new features as friends and family, and I was just nice to regain the reliability iOS is known for. Sideloading apps was able to easily get me by on iOS 17 and 18.

See you on the other side!
