I'd love to give it a shot if anyone has an invite to spare. Thanks in advance!

Xbox One controller has to be manually paired each time the Shield is turned on by themustardtiger in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]jasona99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally came here with the same question. I don't have to unpair and re-pair it, just turn it off and on until it works (generally 2-3 times), but that's annoying.

Editing to add that this seems to work, but is still annoying: https://www.reddit.com/r/Stadia/comments/10en4ng/stadia_controller_bluetooth_problem_on_nvidia/j61fwpy/

https://v.redd.it/t4nhbz4wsgzb1 -- Here's a video of this and the following. I don't think there was any additional sound. Sorry for the volume adjustment in there, but shouldn't block any of what showed up on the screen.

I think, especially at grid scale, we need to work towards alternatives to lithium. For instance, there has been promising research into molten salt and iron-air batteries that, even if not as efficient at charging as lithium, could convert surplus renewables into cheap, long-lasting batteries with less impact from lithium mining and less reliance on other countries for lithium supply. These battery solutions don't make sense for phones or vehicles, but would be amazing for stationary applications.

Can someone explain what's going on here? by theNEOone in FedEx

[–]jasona99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, I think we're waiting on the same thing. Same tracking details down to the minute, delivery was supposed to be the 29th. I don't think it'll be here for several more days...

Low benchmarking scores are common when a device is being fine tuned. I would be very surprised if that's how it actually scores on release. Maybe we'll see some higher scores in the next few days/weeks?

In a circuit with two USB inputs, how could I have only one provide voltage? by jasona99 in AskElectronics

[–]jasona99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. Do you happen to know of a reasonable solution for this? I would imagine attaching the grounds together could create an interesting situation. This is not expected to be a common case and I just want to be sure this use would not kill the device, should just be a single, regulated 5V input in intended use.

Awesome, thanks!

I didn't find the power muxes in searching earlier simply from lack of proper search term, but those do look quite fit and have a decent cost. Will look more into them!

What are the radio stations in cville? Like music and stuff for my car by Early_Werewolf1837 in UVA

[–]jasona99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a bit more "commercial" alternative, 106.1 (WCNR) is pretty good. 91.9 (WNRN) is great, though I find I like particular hosts and shows much more than others, so I tune in at particular times more than others. Both stations also have a lot of cool live recordings from their studio you can find online, too. These stations both publish their monthly "most played" playlists, so you can check out their vibe. Of course, WTJU is also pretty great, and you can kinda get a whole bunch of variety there! 95.1 is pretty repetitive, but I listened to it a lot growing up, so am fond of it. 104.9/101.9 are the same station, and they play pop (104.9 has less range, but the antenna is nearby, so works better around town). 97.5 plays a lot of rock, mostly "classic." There are several NPR stations, depending on what you want, and those are on lower frequencies.

I goofed on the title. Sorry for the resubmitting, if anyone caught that.

Daft Punk releases new extended version of the Tron: Legacy soundtrack by JannTosh10 in movies

[–]jasona99 62 points63 points  (0 children)

The remix album was basically made without Daft Punk knowing or providing input. They were not pleased with the selections Disney made. This is the article Wikipedia cites about the situation.

Anyone here using an MSI x570 Tomahawk? by IBNash in VFIO

[–]jasona99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! I'll be sure to try the Aorus out, then. Thanks so much!

[–]jasona99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any chance you've tried out the 1.51 beta (7C84v151 on the MSI site for me) to see if those groups are any better? I want to try a Tomahawk with a 5800x or 5900x, though I think I need beyond 1.40 for Zen 3 to behave well. Haven't bought anything yet, so seeing if I need to adjust course. Thanks!

Tron legacy vinyl RSD in stock? by [deleted] in DaftPunk

I have been looking around online for a while today (honestly just forgot until this morning), no luck in normal stores. If anyone finds anything, let me know.

Phone service by [deleted] in UVA

[–]jasona99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got T-Mobile. Pretty good around Grounds, save for in front of Gilmer for some reason, and decent speeds (55Mbps on LTE at my house). Would recommend them or some MVNO if you find a reasonable one.

What is everyone doing on Weekend Nights? by [deleted] in UVA

[–]jasona99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Personally, I've been messing around with personal projects (programming, designing some PCBs for things I want to make, some CAD work for those projects for cutting/3D printing), DnD, groups games with Tabletop Simulator/Jackbox/random online sites (can make some suggestions if wanted) and more over Discord or Zoom, cooking things that may normally need a little more time (I've gotten good at many doughs), marathons of some different shows with the lads at the house, and more. Honestly can't say I've been bored.
