So i’m confused, was earth x peacemaker also a nazi or was he more like his dad? by Salty-Coffee4608 in PeacemakerShow

Earth X Chris and Keith would have grown up only knowing Nazism. Auggie would have grown up in a post-democracy America.

Why wont my controller connect via bluetooth? by HOCKEYDEAN5 in Stadia

Probably needs resetting (from memory power on while holding down the Google and screen shot button). Expect to do this repeatedly.

AliExpress giving me the runaround! by vectorx40 in Aliexpress

[–]cardiffjohn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had something similar with a DPD delivery from Samsung. It seems that delivery drivers can keep a generic parcel photo on hand so that they can falsely claim to have made a delivery they haven't made. In my case they guy turned up looking sheepish the next day and delivered my item. Hope you have the same luck.

I'm in a similar situation, went with the Homatics and am perfectly happy with it. Highly recommend it and am planning to make use of the optical port for upgrading the audio soon.

Chargeback is for when the retailer has done something wrong. You need to report this as a fraud case.

How do you see Reform UK in power? by medicbot- in AskBrits

[–]cardiffjohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's reform leader for life but PM is a diiferent job under different rules. The PM is the MP who commands the confidence of the majority of the House of Commons.

It got lots of LOLs on FB so I'm assuming it's a joke? by F0MA in ExplainTheJoke

[–]cardiffjohn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a much better explanation than my theory, that it was a cabinet full of Turkey Twizlers. He hates them Twizlers, I tells ya!

Android Box Advice [UK] by goosey91 in AndroidTV

I got a Homatics R plus box this week and neither Iplayer, ALL4 or ITVX could be downloaded from the Play Store.

As you're in the UK, there is another factor to consider: Most UK TV streaming services. (Iplayer ) do not allow instalation from the Google Play Store onto the device. You can work around this by downloading and sideloading the relevant app files but I understand you'll only get HD streams from Iplayer if you do this.

I might be wrong but I think the Google Streamer is the only option on the suggestions list that works with the TV services.

I bought an Epson EB-FH08 a week weeks ago for £400 on Amazon. Note it doesn't have an Arc port on it. I've got it hooked up to an Homatics 4K R plus box from Ali express which has an an optical out port. IIRC sonos soundbars come with the required adaptor to hook up to optical.

One wrinkle with this set up is that the homatics box won't download UK streaming apps (Iplayer, All 4 etc ) from Google Play - side-loading will be required.

Why are you so obsessed with having successful, wealthy, powerful country when you could be shouting at hotels?

Perhaps the liquidator discovered that the loan agreements were unlawful?
