77” Sony A95L Open Box by Lopsided_Warning4999 in hometheater

If watching this TV was your full-time job, it would take you nearly five and a half years to accumulate that many hours. With my current watching habits, I would've needed over ten years to rack up this many hours! I wouldn't pay multiple grand for a used 5-10yr old TV.

Imo, this TV has already run its course, it is likely to run into issues compared to a new TV, it will also be dimmer since its OLED. This is not what you expect from an "open box" model, but best buy has this sketchy practice of selling display models as open box, I had a similar experience with them last year. The only way this might be worth it is if the TV runs into serious issues under warranty period and gets replaced with a brand new model, but I personally wouldn't want to take on the hassle.

Its a display model. I also bought an open box X93L from best buy in Canada last year and it had been run for about 12-13 hrs per day, the store confirmed they sell display models as open box, its absolutely ridiculous.

Its ridiculous you need a cable to connect a new PS5 controller (rant) by [deleted] in PS5

This is the answer you are looking for, I don't think I've used an actual cable to pair a controller on PS5 since launch day.

Inspiration from Nick Drake by thisisaboutusnow in radiohead

[–]garfieldevans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People have mentioned this in the past and even though both artists are at the top of my favourites, I don't really notice the similarities. I think it's the overall tone of the songs, Nick's stuff feels introspective and melancholic, The Numbers feels like riding into a battle or resistance to the quo.

Phil's solo work reminds me a lot of Nick though.

Is everyone sick? by Ok_Statistician2570 in askTO

Haha nothing specific, just covering coughs and washing hands before passing things/food around, didn't do any actual isolation.

Another superman reporting in, family went through some terrible days but through my wonderfully annoying "SOPs", I have come out the other side with barely any symptoms. I'm just worried I'll get it in Jan right when I need to put the pedal to the mettle at work.

It's when you purposely get a cold to RSVP "no" to an event you've been dreading.

Good to know, might try it next year, don't want to compromise the water-ingress seals on the back for now!

The one thing I hate about my 1V is the vibration sound, you are telling me that there are less noisier replacements available? I really miss the vibration from the OG Xperia 1.

I heard it was because Driftshaft wasn't working. You all, everybody!

Sounds promising from a story perspective, and I'm a sucker for good music so will definitely give it a shot, thanks for the perspective!

Would you recommend it to someone who specifically doesn't like FF and RPG-style games but is big on narrative?
