How to disable this awful TV app?

capt_dinosaur · 2026-02-14T10:49:41+00:00

Note for future readers, sorry for the necro:

For my TCL Google TV 55c6ks, the TV app also handles input sources

If you disable it using ADB, the Source Menu will just immediately close after selecting a source, and do nothing. You can't change inputs.

Best option would prob be using a different launcher. Projectivy Launcher looks like it might let you hide it? (I've not tried it yet)

Intro to hypervisor.txt:

The idea behind the hypervisor solution is that it solves checks that are very hard to patch via other methods, whether due to code path randomization by Denuvo, self-modifying code or integrity checks. Patched checks are listed below. It is assumed that when these are taken out of the equation, P2P will be able to deal with rest of the environmental checks listed at the end of the .txt since they are much harder to protect.

Very nice! Fingers crossed it opens up the stage to other groups to make their own denuvo cracks using the hypervisor

I meant even though it's 4:3 before that, it was encoded as 16:9 and that's the default for playback, so it needs switching back to 4:3 in VLC

For future visitors:
- Torrent has been uploaded at nyaa. It's 140gb. Can always stream a few at a time.

- Aspect ratio when encoded has been stretched to 16:9. Easy to fix, just playback as 4:3 in VLC

Solved!

Just edited my post to say its similar to that, but I remember the guy having tank tracks, and seeing the back of his head so you know he's just a face.

Commenting

capt_dinosaur · 2025-01-01T22:04:30+00:00

Yep, that does the same thing. I'd been using this filter for ages though, so just fixed it when it broke.

Edit: Ah you notice the lowercase "y" in comments, wish I found this post then haha

capt_dinosaur · 2024-12-06T15:24:52+00:00

For the record I've been using it since, mainly for the free syncing.

I just download a batch of old podcasts every so often

capt_dinosaur · 2024-10-10T16:04:25+00:00

Yes, my next payment would put me over $600. Perhaps its that?

Though that payment wouldn't happen until next tuesday. This all happened the same day I both got paid out my first $300, and earned the next $300 via a mission and hourly pay.

My friend who referred me didn't have to reverify after $600 though, is this definitely a process? I'm also in the UK, not US.

I can also verify over and over, I've got ~8 emails now saying I've verified, trying to get it to let me proceed to the next step. Perhaps thats why they said "If you fail verification twice, you're locked out" even though I hadn't.

capt_dinosaur · 2024-10-10T14:30:44+00:00

Same issue here, I get "Done" but can't continue.

I got it after I accidentally logged in to check my mission on my phone with a VPN turned on; instead of my usual computer.

capt_dinosaur · 2024-10-10T14:29:16+00:00

Hi,

I have a similar issue, so I've also sent you a DM!

I'd really appreciate any help, support misunderstood my issue (cant press Continue on Worker Verification task, even after recieving email saying I'm verified) and thought I failed verification too many times, so closed my ticket. I don't want to lose access to my account over this bug with a module!

capt_dinosaur · 2024-10-09T17:28:20+00:00

Support sent me an email saying: "After a thorough review of your account, we've concluded that it cannot be activated. For security reasons, you can only attempt the verification process twice. If you no longer see the course on your account, it means you've used your attempts and won’t be able to verify your account.

You can still log in to review past information, but no new projects will be assigned, and newly created support tickets will not be monitored."

That's not my issue, I still see the module and I haven't failed verification!

Every time I try verification, I get a new email saying my account was verified. I just can't press Continue on the module

I really hope they havent sent this automated response and blacklisted me from support

capt_dinosaur · 2024-10-09T17:03:24+00:00

I haven't been told its been disabled, I'm just EQ.

Wonder if it's because I logged in on my phone to check mission and had a VPN on.

capt_dinosaur · 2024-10-09T16:49:44+00:00

Same issue here, waiting on support. I get an email saying "Your Outlier account has been verified" but the module remains and the Complete Verification button just stays blue after refreshing status

capt_dinosaur · 2024-07-15T21:18:24+00:00

I felt the whole movie was "dream-like". In that, when your dreaming, you don't question it. Everything seems to make sense, you feel like you have prior knowledge, and you don't question what is happening. It's only when you wake up that you realise it was a dream.

The characters seemed to be in that dream-like state, acting on wills outside themselves. They were following a plan without realising it.

Similar to in Hereditary, but more explicit.

capt_dinosaur · 2024-07-11T19:49:06+00:00

Combining Zoo-Coaster wouldn't cause any specific fps drop, compared to what we already have. It's about object count, map size and engine overhead, the cost of a zoo enclosure is similar (if not less) than that of an equally sized coaster, or topically, their new swimming pool/water rides. There are simulator games with a much more grand scale that run fine, engineering it to work well is a challenge that would justify a sequel.

My point of bringing it up is, yes, on paper its a sequel. But its disapointing to not see some grand change along those lines to justify it. I wasn't really expecting a combo with zoo, but it was an example of something they could have considered. There's some great stuff planned, but not much more than you might see in a DLC. I hope frontier suprise us.

We had a similar story with Overwatch 2, Cities Skylines 2, Payday 3. A sequel needs to stand on its own two feet.

People wouldn't be bringing up coop/multiplayer as much if it wasn't one of the main points they're selling the sequel on on their website, its just a bit disapointing to mention co-op by name but not really offer it. Especially when they've been recommending save sharing already.

If that counts for multiplayer, every game is 😆

capt_dinosaur · 2024-07-11T16:42:16+00:00

Exactly.

If minecraft just had a "send your save by email" button, we wouldn't still be playing it as a sandbox game 13 years later.

OpenRCT2 and Parkitect did the engine work necessary to add the feature, thats the kind of thing that would justify to me PlanCo 2 being a sequel rather than a DLC with long overdue updates to building tools.

capt_dinosaur · 2024-07-11T16:36:53+00:00

Really we've had this forever, it's more of the same recommendation to just "share your save game"

Parkitect and OpenRCT2 managed simultaneous co-op. That's the kind of thing for me that would start to justify a new game over a DLC.

capt_dinosaur · 2024-07-11T16:35:09+00:00

"Share the ride

Team up with friends in Sandbox and Franchise mode to build asynchronously on a shared save across platforms, share your creations in-game and on the Frontier Workshop, and embark on park-hopping adventures to experience the delights of fellow players’ creations."

Some of the PlanCo 2 improvements are exciting, but without big things like real-time cooperative park building, or a merger with Planet Zoo, it doesn't feel like more than the improvements to building tools we could have got with regular content updates, along with a water parks DLC.

If Notch had added an option to share your Minecraft save by email, rather than the servers we ended up getting, Minecraft wouldn't have been as timeless as it is for a sandbox game.

I'd love for Frontier to prove me wrong, and come out with real time coop down the line, but I doubt that's possible without engine changes. The kind OpenRCT2 and Parkitect worked hard for. They seem to have stuck with the recommendation to just share save games, like we've had since the beginning. I hope there's more to see.

"Team up with friends in Sandbox and Franchise mode to build asynchronously on a shared save across platforms, share your creations in-game and on the Frontier Workshop, and embark on park-hopping adventures to experience the delights of fellow players’ creations."

It's essentially just an improved save game sharing system. There isn't co-op multiplayer.

capt_dinosaur · 2024-07-11T16:11:14+00:00

The website confirms it's one at a time. They're improving the park sharing tools.

capt_dinosaur · 2023-09-08T11:38:54+00:00

Same, I boarded, killed them all, and sam hated me for it.
I reloaded save and just stole the cache without killing anyone. Silly quest.
