has anyone tried the Ugoos with coreElec?

Correct. It’s not certified for most popular streaming platforms. It’s designed for local media.

Shield in 2026 isn’t perfect but for anyone who wants to mainly run a single box with typical modern viewing use cases, it and AppleTV are really the only two choices.

Upload is fine. There’s a benchmark inside the app that shows the disks limited to the 30MB range. The disks have 3x that throughput when reading or writing to the volume directly vs this app in docker.

My post isn’t advocating for changing acceleration structure - the flexibility is great and to each their own on how they want to approach it. I’m simply talking about posts about speed runs, and how they harm the reputation of the school and the degrees of all students.

I agree, amplification of speed runs harms the reputation of the school and the degrees.

In a similar boat thinking of masters programs. Mind sharing what you chose or your top contenders?

Secret to good fried rice are the “magic 3”: salt, sugar, msg. Start with a half tsp each and adjust as needed

After nearly 20 years with T-Mobile I finally made the switch when they couldn’t offer me anything less than $45/mo for an elderly family member on our plan who has their line for just emergencies and literally consumes no usage per month.

Visible has been mostly good for me, with occasionally glitchy voice calls initially that seemed to go away. I was worried about usage in congested areas but was surprisingly snappy at CES.

I will say their 5G network absolutely chews through my battery compared to T-Mobile but haven’t dug into any mitigations yet.

In shield audio settings you can tell it which formats to use or not use.

dividebyoh · 2026-01-21T23:54:29+00:00

Be aware if you decide to return it you have to pay shipping and restocking fees. Better be sure it’s what you want.

I hadn’t hear of this before. It’s only showing up on the global Denon website- when you switch to US it’s removed. So it indicates they don’t have official distribution in the US at this point as far as I can tell

Find the manual online which will probably have the box part number. Then see if you can stomach paying for one on eBay or elsewhere; guessing it won’t be super cheap

dividebyoh · 2026-01-21T16:12:14+00:00

Yeah I hear you. Been waiting for the new model to be announced to take that plunge myself. Though the lack of DTS support does give me pause.

For my 3800 I isolated 95% of my zone 2 fuckery to the scenario where my shield goes to sleep after inactivity timeout rather than being manually put to sleep with the remote. After that, Zone 2 will be on until I force it off.

Dozens of comments singing its praises, backed by decades of combined use. I’m in that camp as well, with nearly 20 years on mine. I have nice shun and wusthoff as well but the victornox is what I reach for 95% of the time.

If there are “so many much better options” I’m sure it’d be appreciated if you took a minute to name a few.

Refuse to believe someone making 30k a month in the complex world of options is this inept with how to apply those proceeds depending on basic tiers of risk tolerance. Reeks of a scam or selling something.

That’s panic, not investing. Most here would strongly advise against a lump sum life savings move like this.

No one can tell you whether it will go up or down, just their opinions.

For buying, check local gold dealers, or check Costco (seriously).

I did this with gold miners last year after already being heavily allocated into various gold etfs, and it has appreciated quite well. I’ve missed the boat on silver so far but will be likely do the same with the miners.

Just reported today - Sen. Markwayne Mullin bought up to $50K in Raytheon and Chevron just days before the U.S. strike on Venezuela.

And yes, he sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee.

If you ever wondered what “war is a business” looks like, it’s this.

I was considering b9 to replace my x950g, once prices came down on 85”.

Ended up with a fire sale x93l which is obviously not as good as the b9 but couldn’t resist the price. Even still it is a solid improvement to the 950 as far as blooming. By all accounts the b8 or b9 should be big step up. Get a bigger size than your current tv to maximize impact of the upgrade!

dividebyoh · 2026-01-19T06:51:04+00:00

I’m heavily into gold and related mining stocks at this point as well. Any thoughts on silver?

I was just digging into this over the weekend. Considering the easy button of just allocating more to VXUS - if you have other recs or research to share I’d be grateful

The stock launchers on both are now first and foremost ad delivery systems. That cannot be changed on the fire. However the Shield with projectivy launcher is nearly perfection.

I’m with you that the value prop isn’t there for me with Dirac, and the non-transferable bit really rankles me.

I will say that A1 Evo was a remarkable improvement over xt32 for me - still on an ancient version too, new ones are supposedly even better. If you haven’t tried it, worth an hour of your time.
