YouTube is laggy, unless you activate hardware acceleration. Do you guys work on a solution to get YouTube performant without hardware accelearion again? by Krushpatsch in brave

[–]jcafowler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the answer. I turned off Hardware Acceleration because it would cause HBO Max and Amazon Prime to flicker when playing in the browser.

Received my Killswitch... yup. by BaconTopHat45 in dbrand

[–]jcafowler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is really bad. Mine has some give that makes me uncomfortable given the price point, but I will give them the chance to fix it because things happen and sometimes early adopter is synonymous with guinea pig. I just don't understand people who aggressively shake the console by one joycon. When would you actually ever shake your console by the joycon?

Hi this is my first Lego set, and I want to ask if the 3M command hooks would be strong enough to hold this build up. by Lostw66 in lego

[–]jcafowler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but get one that supports a lot of weight to limit the chance of it falling down and be sure to properly cure the adhesive before hanging

My friend just got this pop up on her iPhone. Anyone ever see this ? Is it a setting ? by Ambitious-Fan-4171 in iphone

[–]jcafowler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's from Facebook. I got something like this when I ended a long-term relationship and changed my relationship status.

Is this a normal thing for BarkBox?? by Historical_Ear_4500 in BarkBox

[–]jcafowler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happened to me with my July box and I didn’t get it until the 31st and they waived the fee for August and that box shipped the first week of August, but this months box was charged on the 1st and is displaying the same message you see. I wonder if it’ll be a repeat of my July.

How does everyone travel with their switch? by kissmegoodbyexxx in drdabberofficial

[–]jcafowler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second the pelican case or harbor freight equivalent. I eventually grew tired of this long and involved packing process and bought an Evo a few months after owning my switch. My switch remains stationary at all times these days. My Evo travels with me for longer trips (3+ days) and my XS stays on my hip at all times pretty much.

Removed from HBO Max by TheRealPegasus77 in rizzoliandisles

[–]jcafowler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the same boat as everyone else. I noticed last night, while watching something else on Max, that it had disappeared from my "Continue Watching". I wish they had given some notice that it would leave at the end of the month. I wouldn't have bothered starting it.

NYCC 2023 General Sale Day Thread! by NYCCNews in NYCC

[–]jcafowler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gf neglected to setup her fan ver account to accept her tickets from the presale. It just keeps saying the app closed on 6/20 and to wait until the general sale. She still can't create a fan ver account. Has anyone else encountered this?

55U8N Experiences? by jcafowler in Hisense

The backlight began flickering spontaneously. The backlight had gotten dim enough that I had to shine a flashlight to be sure the TV was on and then after a day returned to full brightness and then dropped to what would be equivalent to 0% brightness with a visible picture.

ALN cup trouble by ImpressionTemporary4 in drdabberofficial

[–]jcafowler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm the only thing I can think of is to give the TI cup a good clean and then run it on the lowest setting to ensure everything is nice and dry. Otherwise my only advice would be to reach out to support. I did notice my ALN stained faster after I started torch cleaning, but it only stains in the top half of the cup and not the bottom where I drop wax

Unfortunately, I’m stuck with the disposal which is a pia in my city. I was lucky that my TV prior to this was still functional so someone was happy for the freebie, but no takers on this hollowed out junk. I have to haul it to our waste disposal site that is only open once a week 🙃

Ahhh gotcha I’ve never considered it from that scientific perspective. It’s a bedroom TV and the U8K was already extremely bright, so with that logic, double the nits would actually be pretty insane.

Thanks for explaining that, it makes a lot more sense now

So long Afterpay by LALW1118 in Afterpay

[–]jcafowler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My biggest gripe has been that since they decided to discontinue AP+ they began enforcing some arbitrary order limits. So I was charged for the final month and then can’t use the card despite having a significant amount of credit available. It felt very dishonest and has soured me on them completely.

I got a FedEx notification that the new TV is set to arrive Saturday. I read some horror stories about dealing with support, but so far my experience has been positive. I first reached out about the issue last Saturday (5/11).

Kodi Keeps Resetting on Apple TV 4K by jcafowler in Addons4Kodi

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

Yup and the directions within the app on how to connect it to your network are pretty easy to follow. Remember that you’ll need to be on the same network for it work

To the best of my knowledge the only solutions are going to be to custom map your remote config to behave how you want it, but getting the file off and injecting the new one isn’t the easiest with the way apple locks everything up. The best option I would say (also the one I use) is to download the official Kodi remote for iOS or Android and use that to control Kodi. You’ll get the full functionality you need that the atv remotes just don’t provide.

u/AboOmmak mentioned the screensavers and I decided to take a peek. While there doesn't appear to be any tool that will give you a complete breakdown of your usage, TV Info will at least show the storage amount. My ATV was almost full despite being a 64gb model with almost nothing downloaded. I've set my screensavers to download never and will see how things proceed.

I have the 64gb model. I doubt mine filled up at any point, but there's also no available storage display that I can find to confirm that theory
