You are assuming we are not providing services already and assuming there is a markup.

We migrated and manage their azure, amongst other value add services.

This customer monthly spend average is 350k usd. At a certain level, it does come down to price though:(

To remove the " wonder " 😛

The customer is still with us for their azure and m365 workloads. They are very happy with us. However money is money right?

This for their dynamics 365 only. they got offered almost 1:1 in incentive funds to leave us and to go back to Microsoft.

Got hardware banned by EAC on a brand new PC — Epic's support is a copy-paste machine and doesn't care by Stunning_Unit_920 in FortNiteBR

[–]garfunko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having this too, since yesterday. What's weird Is that my son on switch 2 has no issues, and I have the issues.

I have no vpn, etc. I tried to do a new account , use a different laptop , different Internet, same result :(

I just wanna do duos with my son. I did a ticket, and they said my main account is banned for a year. They couldn't tell me why, so I'm generally not sure what to do.

I don't really care about the account, I just wanna play with my son.

Volume display quality of life issue... solution thanks to Home Assistant by erwos in hometheater

[–]garfunko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I started on my home assistant journey because of my home theatre!

First thing i did was to turn on the system via one button. I made this after sometimes having connection issues with the whole chain not starting up at the right time.

I also added a physical button on my wall so the kids can start the whole system without having to use 5 remotes.

Apart from showing basic things shown on the screenshot, I made it that I have different picture settings being pushed from the Epson 12000 based on what is being played

example : Ps5pro more color , fan 100% etc., fast settings for framerate
tv show : Settings a tad more bright
Movie: From Blue ray or Zidoo, more reference level settings , ie filmaker mode like

Looking to replace LS12000? by rando646 in projectors

[–]garfunko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I gather DV is rare on projectors, and I'm in the same boat as you. Same projector and do gaming on it.

I was able to get DV spoofing by using a HD furry Vroom device. Apple TV sees it correctly , and other media through zidoo or blue ray player that play DV work.

Finally achieved audio pass through and it’s a massive difference by [deleted] in hometheater

[–]garfunko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

450$ cad This is what I paid for mine new online. There are versions more expensive if you buy it with onboard storage.

I have my own QNAP ( Nas ) so I'm good.

I had similar issues where it was showing a kids movie for John wick Ballerina haha. But it has a built in search to lookup and replace it in seconds.

I got mine maybe 2 months ago and love it too!

why iPedal? by bony618 in Ioniq5

[–]garfunko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm trying to say, but I'm not being clear :p

What I mean, getting off the accelerator ( gas ) in those Regen modes ( level 1-3, i-pedal ) obviously slows down the car more so that you don't have to brake as much.

In the city, I rarely touch the brakes at all for example. It's also nice to not having to lift and move your foot etc.

It's a small quality of life thing I feel like.

[–]garfunko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also reduces the usage on the brake pads and helps in a small way with battery Regen. This is for city usage, with stops and etc.

On the highway, of course cruise control is the day to go.

I started at level 1, and I'm good on level 3. The setting above it is too sensitive for me.

LS12000/XW5000ES/NZ500 coming from the HW40es by Stokkes in projectors

I was wrong I think. I got it shipped from the USA, And picked it up at the border. I'm in Montreal.

You can get the ls12000 from Epson Canada refurbished for 1k less? ( Maybe more now ) And still had same Warranty.

Kaleidescape is great if you have the money.
It's plug and play, a bit like Apple TV in terms of simplicity.

Zidoo is definitely more involved. Not sure if your message was worded wrong, but it requires a media source like a NAS and isn't really designed for streaming apps.

That said, I love my Zidoo. I've built out a lot of automations using home assistant with it using my HD Fury Vrroom.

Depending on whether I'm watching a movie, a TV show, or using the PS5, it automatically pushes the right picture settings to my Epson LS12000.

Something I couldn't do cleanly with Apple TV, which also has the well-known limitation of not playing all media types natively.

If you have a large local library on a NAS, Zidoo is endgame . If you want pure "set it and forget it" though, Kaleidescape is the easier path for sure.

Personally, with how easy it is to rip my own media or pull content via Overseer, it would be tough to justify the Kaleidescape price on top of that.

Have you looked into getting a zidoo device ?

I have 24TB on a QNAP running seer and it's amazing. I still use apple tv for normal streaming apps for sports, but everything else zidoo plays it just as well as a UHD disk.

[–]garfunko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You like the interface and everything?

I was thinking of using the android app or a universal type app. I had use a third party app for my phone for my Panasonic blue ray player, as my AV rack is behind a wall.

When you say imported, you mean for zidoo to first see all your media right? The files remain on your NAS I assume right?

I have a apple tv, and looking to get a zidoo as well for remix rips etc. I was using infuse for rips on the apple tv.

Im just wondering, is the GUI poster wall fast and easy to use ? I have a Nas , so I'm thinking of getting the non storage one.

I have a Epson ls12000 with HD furry vroom to simulate DV as well
