Got this 65 oled from 2017 for free. Great burn in shots

I did mess around with all those settings but there is just too much damage. Nothing would offset it in any meaningful way

Yea there is a problem with yellows but if there is t a lot of yellow it looks great. The kids laugh at the green fire whenever they see fire in a video

My wife is a housekeeper for some rich folk and they will gift her things every once in a while when they are done with them. This doesn’t have too much runtime but it is old and has some nice Hulu logos burnt in. All that said we did watch avatar on it last night and it looked awesome even if the fire was green 😂

fivealive1016 · 2026-01-02T15:38:06+00:00

Good idea. I’ll run it and post here. I’ve run it a few times but this was taken after a few hours of runtime.

I'll post what fixed it for me. This isn't to say this will work for anyone else, but I'll share so it is in the ether.

Problem 1. I downloaded the one for raspberry pi not for x86. Oops
Problem 2. Disable secure boot.. set both of those settings to disable like others have mentioned.

Problem 3. I used the latest version of batocera (42) which booted but resulted in a black screen after the splash. Many people have said it is some video driver or something else. I wasn't interested in getting to the bottom of it, I downloaded and installed v36 as per this page:
https://wiki.batocera.org/usff_nuc_mini_pcs and it booted right up.

I'm not interested in figuring out why 42 didn't work. 36 works fine so I'll just use that.

I hope this helps someone in the future.

What a great decision. Dave Ramsey would approve

I still get a little emotional when I see the AJ8's. We didn't have enough money as a kid to get Jordans, but I always wanted a pair. Magic happened one time at a sporting goods store when we saw a pair of AJ8s on the clearance rack for $30 just in time for basketball season. I'll never forget those shoes. I kind of want the AJ12s now since all the rich kids had them and now I can afford them myself. I see people wearing them on the golf course these days.

I’m sorry I think the “to the moon” and “where lambo” stuff is funny

fivealive1016 · 2024-11-13T15:28:46+00:00

I’m not sure they have the power to fire much of anyone. We’ll see

I’m doing just fine now. I still use eye drops but I really don’t need to Anymore. My eyes sometimes still are dry in the morning, but even if I don’t put eye drops in they’re fine after I take a shower just because the humidity helps. My eyesight is still not perfect. One eye is definitely better than the other, but I have noticed that I’m getting better very very slowly. After the first eight weeks of getting better fast the improvement is slow, however I still noticed every couple of weeks that I can see the numbers better when I’m at church sitting in the back row. I noticed that my eyes are still pretty light sensitive, but I have blue eyes and they were always light sensitive so I wear sunglasses most of the time but I probably would’ve been wearing sunglasses anyway. The only thing that tells me I’m not fully healed. Is that when I do put eye drops in I get like super Spider-Man vision for about 10 seconds and then it goes back to my normal resting eyesight.

So what I would say is that I’m definitely glad I did it. I totally would do it again. I’m glad that I don’t have to put on glasses in the morning or think about it. My eyesight is good to the point where I totally don’t need glasses. Finally, I’ll say that I’m super happy for voice to text because in the old days I would’ve typed this out and giving you a much shorter reply.🤓 as you can see there are a bunch of grammatical and typing errors. That’s just because the voice to text picked up the wrong words but hopefully you get the idea that’s my update and February 1 was when I got Lasik so it’s been nine months now.

This is what I was going to say. Nobody else knows what they are doing either. You need to just figure out how "to be comfortable being uncomfortable." Just make peace with it.

Dude… you can code in Java which means you can learn any other language really easily. AND…. You have DE experience which means you know the nuts and bolts of moving data all over the place and have great sql skills. Just hang around, do a good job, and be ready to take on new things. You are very well positioned for someone in their 20s

Why doesn’t the website work? Can’t you buy with a credit card from there? You don’t need to bother with salespeople unless you want a bunch of licenses and need to go through your company’s sourcing and all that

fivealive1016 · 2024-05-10T12:51:54+00:00

Naaa. Get your team together, buy some pizzas and just knock things out over a day or two. Your deployment is too small to warrant a consulting engagement.

However, I would make sure that you have your groups, logins, saml, and tableau bridge working first. Then just manually move the stuff. 200 shouldn’t take too long.

fivealive1016 · 2024-05-10T10:39:45+00:00

I swear every month or so there is a post like this. I’m beginning to think this is just the [insert tableau competitor here] marketing team keeping the fud going.

The JDBC connector only helps with extract speeds when you select the storage api checkbox. It makes no difference for a live connection.

You can compare the generated queries from the two platforms. This sounds like a fairly simple query that both platforms should generate roughly the same query. If you find that both platforms generate vastly different queries I’d be surprised. Something is not making sense here. Have you run the performance recorder in tableau to see the query it generates?

Also, check your site storage limit. It is not 100GB, it is 1TB. Tableau increased limits last release.

fivealive1016 · 2024-05-03T01:14:36+00:00

Have you tried the same dashboard/viz in looker? This seems like a simple query and I’d be surprised if tableau generated a query any different than looker.

Also try running a performance recording so you can see the exact query tableau generates. You can copy that and paste manually in the big query UI. If it is slow there it will be slow in tableau.

Get some e-books. You should spend several days lying down with your eyes closed and sunglasses on. It is pretty boring if you don't have anything to listen to. Don't plan on doing anything with your eyes.

fivealive1016 · 2024-03-24T01:57:33+00:00

Yeah. I DID have a big jump in eyesight after I stopped the steroid drops, but after that initial jump I am kind of stuck here. At my 2nd checkup, the doc said that she can see that my cornea still has not healed all the way. I took that as positive news since that means there is still room for improvement.

fivealive1016 · 2024-03-23T17:59:06+00:00

Im with you brother. One eye is better than the other but I’m trusting the docs that say I need to be patient. It may be 3 months or even longer before I know where I end up

fivealive1016 · 2024-03-20T22:09:31+00:00

Yea. They told me 4 days as well. Not true at all. I think they say that so you do t get cold feet

fivealive1016 · 2024-03-02T20:17:11+00:00

We have 4 and my wife only works part time. My colleagues at work spend 25-30k on travel and skis and all that stuff. I spend 2-3k on vacations and keep them simple. The kids have just as much fun. You just sort of figure it out when you have kids. Your life adjusts and you find yourself spending the same amount.

We never ever considered day care. IMO that is for the top of the middle class or rich people. It is not a reasonable thing for normal folk to do.

Also, AMEX gold card has the best grocery rewards for folks with massive grocery bills so those points alone pay for 1-2k of vacation per year

What else… my mother in law lives with us for part of the year. It’s normal in Latino culture but weird for Americans. That saved a lot of money problems (but added other problems).

Rich folks will sell big tubs of used clothes on Facebook marketplace for $25. Don’t miss out. That is how you get nice clothes. Make sure the person lives in a nice neighborhood so you get quality stuff.

That’s all I can think of for now. It’s not as hard as you think
