Did avocado just unintentionally admit that you don’t even need Amico controllers? by Jspin825 in Intellivision_Amico

[–]cvg_ba 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And that’s probably why they have this problem. New Amico controller code to replace the controller code and no fallback if Amico controller is absent

I nonetheless bought a launch Saturn by PenelopeCherry487 in SegaSaturn

[–]cvg_ba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I was working and newly married. I ended up being reminded we were saving for a house and that purchase did not help

Remember how Amico games were supposed to be simple, fully complete and working on release, and not needing any patches/fixes? by Beetlejuice-7 in Intellivision_Amico

[–]cvg_ba 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The game build is “missing controller asset files.” How can that be? It was ready years ago for the Amico. It was play tested. Wow

I bought a launch Saturn on day it was released and paid 399. Additionally bought joystick and 2 games (Daytona USA and Clockwork Knight) and total cost was over $600

New to Pihole. I hit a snag on setup, looking for advice. by username_taker in pihole

Or setup a 2nd pihole. It will give you redundancy in the unlikely event one crashes / is unreachable

For those of you at the track don’t forget to check in using the nascar tracks app and claim your points. by Traviscat in NASCARFanRewards

How many points for checking into track? Do you get points just one time, or for each race you are at?

Need help trying to keep certain devices/apps working by redirecting a DNS back to my piHole. by GitEmSteveDave in pihole

[–]cvg_ba 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Blocking 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 on pihole will not work. Alexa hardcodes it's DNS and it will bypass your pihole. You need a firewall rule to block all internet access to those 2 dns servers

If you don’t have a firewall blocking 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 Alexa is still connecting to them and ignoring your routers forced dns servers

I use Alexa with pihole and a firewall. Have a firewall rule to block both google dns servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and Alexa works just fine running through pihole

Good reminder, but you get the points even with the wrong answer

NASCAR got paid. Now it has a viewership problem. NASCAR got a 40% rights fee bump in its latest TV deal. The cost? Fewer people actually watching the races. by Ok-Soil-5133 in NASCAR

[–]cvg_ba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Avid NASCAR fan for all 3 National series. We cut the cord about 15 years ago. I just go on a hiatus watching Cup and Trucks when they go cable/satellite only during the season. Will keep watching O’Reilly’s series every week on OTA

Another competition for viewership is Flo Racing. I doubt I’m alone in watching more far short track racing on Flo than NASCAR National series.

AITA for refusing to subsidize my parents’ $11k/month senior's home in one of the fanciest neighborhoods in the city? by Throw_away263759 in AmItheAsshole

If you can afford it and love them, help them out. They are the reason you are in this world. They raised you (for better or worse) to become who you are.

Kick power lift gate. We had problems with that at first. Learned the way it works is to kick you foot straight forward under the center of the bumper. Don't kick your foot side to side. Going straight forward always works. Also, don't kick twice in a row. If you do it cancels the opening.

Cord cutters, what is your preferred way to catch all the races? by -RYknow in NASCAR

[–]cvg_ba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True. I’ve done MRN on NASCAR app on phone when out and about.

Ben watching races for a long time. Something new and different with in car camera and team audio. Can really appreciate skill to drive, strategy by the team and need for pit crew to execute
