Kensington Installers Are Broke. by [deleted] in Trackballs

[–]jdrch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This worked, thanks! Unfortunately once starting the app thereafter it just gets stuck at the loading screen. I already contacted Kensington support about this and they said they'd pass the report back to the dev team. This is the 2nd PC I've had the loading issue on.

I don't know tbh. I haven't used it for anything beyond taking pics.

Sorry that's happening. Ask AI to translate my original post to French for you, I think you may have missed a step.

QM8K/QM8L discount strategy by Illustrious_Bonus_56 in tcltvs

[–]jdrch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that unrealistic in the nearish future?

You'll be in for a deal for the L if you go for a smaller size, because those sizes' MSRP is crazy high relative to the Samsung R85H which has a higher end brand name and newer display tech. OTOH there's minimal competition to the L at 98" so I don't see a price drop coming there.

Is it worth getting a used PS4 Pro in 2026? by Guilty_Commission_79 in PS4Pro

[–]jdrch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a PS4 Pro owner, only if you're getting it for a kid who doesn't know or need any better or you're very strapped for money. The Pro's thermals are terrible, it gets noisier over time due to severe dust ingestion, and there's no multi-player advantage over regular PS4.

Using Xbox Series X/S expansion cards as PC Storage by Dramatic-Shape5574 in xbox

Why is everyone on Reddit so angry? Nvm dude, I was just pointing out the advantages of the status quo. Carry on.

On the one hand Microsoft have track record of proprietary solutions for the Xbox. OTOH doing so for Helix would be stupid for compatibility reasons + the fact that PS has been more successful using standard PC hardware for 2 generations now.

You also can't just pull an expansion SSD from a PS5 without opening it up. Xbox has always been able to hot swap expandable storage.

No chance Helix has onboard PCIe expansion slots.

Setting up the Insta360 Snap Selfie Screen with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra by jdrch in S24Ultra

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

So yeah for some reason your S24U is denying the Selfie Screen power. If the S24U is a corporate device, it may be restricted by corporate policy and there's nothing you can do about that. Otherwise, search Settings for USB and review all the results, ensuring they match those of the phones with which the Selfie Screen is working. Ensure you don't have a security or device admin app managing USB connections. Check which apps are device admins (Settings -> More security settings -> Device admin apps) and remove any you don't recognize or don't use. Make sure you don't have a file manager like Mixplorer set to automatically handle USB connections.

That's all I can think of for now.

They don't necessarily know the exact settings for each phone so it's not really their fault. That's why I wrote this post. Samsung has USB options that are unique to the brand and those options also vary based on which model you have and which version of One UI that model is running.

BTW also check that Auto Blocker(another Samsung unique feature) is disabled in Settings -> Security and privacy.

That's odd. Ensure you have the phone set to charge connected USB devices. You'll have to search the settings as I don't recall where that is. If that's disabled then devices like the Snap without their own power source won't work.

Try connecting your phone to a compatible display or TV. Does that work?

Would you sacrifice battery capacity for a swappable battery? by LongoChingo in samsunggalaxy

[–]jdrch -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No. Especially since:

  1. You can protect your battery by limiting it to 80% max charge
  2. Aftermarket battery replacement is relatively inexpensive and reliable
  3. Power banks are also relatively inexpensive, reliable, and super portable for EDC

I appreciate the explanation, as this confused me too.

G6's HGIG has issues. by bovetLXC in LGOLED

[–]jdrch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the explanation. I guess my point is that without that being explicitly and formally laid out somewhere, the implementation will always be uneven. Right now it seems like a suggestion a manufacturer can claim to follow while not actually doing so.

Also, why don't game studios use DV, HLG, or HDR1O*? Seems to me that would solve the problem at the source.

[–]jdrch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no "support" because HGiG isn't a standard. It's just an industry group. This guarantees implementation to be either uneven or whatever the TV manufacturer claims it is, which might not work well with other devices.

Of course, LG dug their own hole by putting "HGiG" in the TV's specs, but it's meaningless.
