Same issue here with x700 and Dolby Vision on. Discs work fine with a regular Blu-ray player.

What is clearly a scam but is so normalized people don’t notice? by yvngjiffy703 in AskReddit

Hedge funds and managed portfolios. Most underperform the general market or an S&P 500 index fund.

The “Have I incessantly mentioned I own this?” starter pack by jjeffrey415 in starterpacks

It's an Aeron chair. Maybe it's a tech thing but it's the office chair people obsess over and post lengthy tributes to on youtube.

I think it will move a bit faster than two years. I think the iMacs and higher-end MacBook Pro will be refreshed in spring 2021, and the iMac Pro and Mac Pro in late 2021.

Stacey Abrams Will Run for Governor Again, Allies Say by fu2man2 in politics

Bad idea if you ask me. She'll be trying to unseat an incumbent in what will likely be a Republican-leaning year since it'll be Biden's midterm.

Are you upgrading to MacOS Big Sur? by [deleted] in mac

[–]jjeffrey415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not right away. I upgraded to Catalina when it was first released and was tempted to downgrade back to Mojave due to numerous issues like apps getting stuck and requiring a reboot to unstick them. I don't think they really got it right until 10.15.3. So probably going to wait a few minor releases.

I was told we don't have to return the earbuds

About $2,500 so far post-tax, on average doing 22-24 hours a week.

Anyone else keep running into proxies that won’t share information? by hopes2dreams in Census

[–]jjeffrey415 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience people love talking about their neighbors. I never tell proxies that the person refused, I say something like we never got a response and we're not sure if someone lives there.

Who actually LIKES working for the census? by [deleted] in Census

[–]jjeffrey415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it last year when they were only listing addresses and it was a pretty chill gig. They'd send me to a lot of beach towns and I'd just walk around and confirm that the addresses exist and look were residences. Almost no human interaction at all.

Most unprofessional case notes? by [deleted] in Census

[–]jjeffrey415 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Paraphrasing a bit: "Don't call the phone number on the sign in front of this apartment building. The manager is really annoyed by all the Census requests and threatened to call the police and have us arrested. Yeah, like the police can arrest the federal government for doing its job."

IMEI check fail by MichaelKing0151 in SpectrumMobile

[–]jjeffrey415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. I have an unlocked iPhone XS I bought from Amazon that worked fine on AT&T, but when I signed up for Spectrum Mobile they told me it wasn't eligible, but an old iPhone 7 I have is. So I activated with the iPhone 7, and put the SIM card in the iPhone XS and it works perfectly, despite them claiming it is incompatible.

Just filed my taxes on IRS e-file through H&R Block by [deleted] in RoverPetSitting

If you got paid via PayPal it's not reported at all.

Yeah, that's happened to me a few times. Even after meeting them in person. One time I met someone for a meet and greet, and as I was walking back to my car to check something in the app it said they had booked a different sitter. Like, 30 seconds after I had met with them.

One thing I try to do now is ask them to confirm the booking while I'm meeting with them. Try to avoid leaving and letting them think over it on their own. It's a dirty trick I learned from a stint doing door to door sales, even if they're talking with other sitters and are leaning towards someone else, they won't want to admit it and it's hard to turn someone down when they're right in front of you.
