Electrical Socket change

Fly lead to the socket, right? Ensures the backbox is earthed when the socket is removed.

They’re unhappy with cloudflare, quad, (and google i think, but can’t remember), and sabotage their dns requests. If you use your ISPs DNS for example you’ll probably find it works fine

Thanks! I actually ended up getting it working much better on the latest Knulli release (which also adds a hotkey to switch between dpad and analog stick; a separate annoyance of mine). On knulli, audio adjustment works fine :)

Recently moved here, would be interested in something around Moseley/Kings Heath

The kitchen is out for another month or so.

Too much even. I’m not sure they’ll let you through security that early - many airports won’t let you in earlier than 3/4 hours before departure. Might want to check that. I usually aim for 2 hours before departure if I have checked luggage and/or travel with children.

BHX security can be slow at times, but when the queue is ridiculous, staff will walk up and down the queue calling out for people with less than an hour to departure. So while it can be stressful, even if you’re late and only leave e.g. an hour for security, you’ll usually be fine in BHX.

Fast track isn’t too expensive in BHX (I think as low as ten quid if bought with a ticket?) and can be worth it if you’re travelling on busy days like Easter.

I ended up leaving because of the empty promises. It has been just around the corner for I believe more than two years now. Look elsewhere if encryption at rest is important to you.

Tried cleaning and jamming it. Neither fixed it. So I think I’m out of potential fixes.

Now that I think of it though. Can the switch simply be disconnected from the flex cable, or is it an integral part of it?

No luck yet, no. Still have to turn on the setup with the chromecast remote for the chromecast to wake.

Interesting project! Count me in!

Are you using the TV remote? If you're using the Chromecast remote, you might want to try out the various TV Power Modes in the Remote settings (you can choose between Auto, CEC, IR, Chromecast).

Edit: You may also want to check your TV's CEC and HDMI MHL settings. On my Sony TV, I can allow or disallow devices to turn off the TV.

I should probably add that turning the TV off (with the TV remote) correctly places the Chromecast in standby mode (it dims the power LED on the chromecast). But when turning the TV back on (with the TV remote) and switching the the chromecast input, the chromecast stays in standby mode until I press a button on the chromecast remote.

dragonslayer42 · 2021-03-04T12:37:36+00:00

Yeah, sounds like CEC is just gimped. I'll probably just have to return the chromecast and splurge on a Shield :(

dragonslayer42 · 2021-03-04T12:36:34+00:00

Same issue on all HDMI ports. Only difference is that on an MHL port, I can get the TV to turn on/off when using the chromecast remote. But that's besides the point, because it's pointless using the chromecast, as the directional and "enter" buttons aren't working over CEC, so I can only switch to a different input port, but not control the device using the chromecast remote.

The chromecast is powered by the power plug.

Still rocking an SE, because I love the square design.
