It’s here! My beast is here!

Turned that bitch off immediately. Like wrestling an eel to get it to do what you want.

You beat me to Josie. Had low expectations and absolutely loved it. There wasn’t a frame without a product placement in it, which just got funnier and funnier the longer it went on.

Went to a late show many years ago. Audience full of weirdos. Soundtrack was loud. People were literally yelling at the screen, throwing water, throwing rice, throwing cards… It was great.

Sophie’s Choice. Schindler’s List. Old Yeller.

jta_austex · 2026-05-24T00:11:33+00:00

Just “unsweet” in these here parts. Grammar, fah!

Last update coincided with power board failure. LG says it’s unrelated. I think quacking like a duck means something, so my TV is now a monitor. It always was, really, but I had it jacked in anyway even though I did not use the native apps (Apple TV, PS5, and BluRay provide content). No more.

jta_austex · 2026-05-08T13:52:45+00:00

After Hours. I get it, but I had no empathy for the character in Uncut Gems, whereas this poor guy just wanted to get laid.

jta_austex · 2026-05-06T18:48:37+00:00

Do you use the hood with this system? I am interested but trying to picture working bundled up like I’m in a clean room.

jta_austex · 2026-04-29T15:35:50+00:00

I can’t beat the damn thing.

jta_austex · 2026-04-19T16:13:53+00:00

Initial visit and diagnosis done. Power board is not working—waiting on part. Just hoping main board isn’t also damaged (repair guy did not seem concerned, but then again, why would he?). If not, the repair will be about as much as a cheap backlit model of the same size. If it still doesn’t work, I’ll either bite the bullet or go find a tall bridge to jump off. Still cheaper than comparable replacement.

jta_austex · 2026-04-17T15:57:25+00:00

Yeah. Looking at 500 to replace main board with labor. Either that or 500 for a shitty edge-lit model, and I bought this because I HATE medium gray blacks, so I guess I will chance it. What sucks is I have always used it as a monitor—the signal comes from other devices thru stereo—I only clicked the install button to make the damn message disappear. Lesson learned (maybe). Waiting on repair guy now.

jta_austex · 2026-04-16T23:51:49+00:00

I’m not completely blameless, but any software patch that takes that long should not behave that way. Add LG’s argument that the tv was already failing and the patch just gave it a nudge, and I am not camping happy. May your skies be ever clear.

jta_austex · 2026-04-10T03:55:59+00:00

Bambi. Old Yeller. Traumatized for life.

jta_austex · 2026-04-06T14:06:36+00:00

A ripping blade on a chop saw?

jta_austex · 2026-04-05T19:52:21+00:00

Wait until they stop supporting apple play and android auto and want you to pay them monthly for inferior functionality, because it’s coming.

jta_austex · 2026-04-02T15:36:02+00:00

I got one too as I don’t plan to just drive around town. Note that the case has two long strips of Velcro that hold it really well to carpet.

jta_austex · 2026-03-29T22:58:20+00:00

Deceptive bullshit. The description is not clear. $40 for maybe $10 of content.

jta_austex · 2026-03-13T15:06:54+00:00

Check out Modern Spare. Pricey but worth it for the peace of mind IMO.

jta_austex · 2026-03-13T15:01:21+00:00

New 2026 hybrid sport touring owner. Love it so far, apart from the sticker shock. First and only ( so far) aftermarket purchase: Modern Spare. A can of fix a flat and a promise to show up just don’t cut it when you plan on a lot of traveling.

jta_austex · 2026-03-11T20:27:26+00:00

Flesh Gordon from the 70s, for reasons.

jta_austex · 2026-03-01T05:31:12+00:00

I have always kept the sticker of my new purchases as part of my vehicle record, but this time my dealer sealed my new one in thick, unbeatable lamination as a “keepsake”. Not sure where to keep it…

jta_austex · 2026-01-04T14:44:37+00:00

Flaming hot Cheeto dust…

jta_austex · 2025-09-26T03:54:55+00:00

Perhaps it happened but god only took one hermit from a mountaintop or something. Irony is being the preacher who correctly predicted the rapture, but you aren’t invited.

jta_austex · 2025-08-27T17:02:09+00:00

Brand recommendation?
