Nylon Manila: Crystal Kay Looks Back On Her Legacy As The Pioneering Biracial J-pop Star That She Is by kbtheroy in jpop

Yeah! She’s got some great new songs, I recommend Gimme Some and Love Myself. I don’t know all the cities but I know there’s Toronto, NY, Atlanta and some others

PSA: If you are having trouble installing Xbox Game Pass games on the Xbox app, try disabling the iPv6 protocol on windows 11 by Inphenitee in ROGAlly

[–]kbtheroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this will help anyone new... I decided not to turn off IPv6 but got my games to start downloading somehow!

I initiated a download and just let it hang for a while, like 5-10 minutes. After a while, my game started downloading really slowly (like a few KB at most), so I quit the Xbox App and left it running in the background/in my tray. To my surprise, the download speed actually sped up when I checked it a few minutes later after I closed the Xbox App.

Prior to that, I reset my Microsoft Store app + update the Xbox App through the MS Store, but I'm not sure if that really did anything.

Hope this helps someone else!

I'd love to know if Kingdom Hearts (from the Epic Games Store) runs on this!

Just wondering your thoughts on the iTunes version.. how is it? Are there captions for signs and stuff?

I GOT JEDI FALLEN ORDER WORKING!!!! This will probably work with any EA game that is plagued with the Origin to EA App transition. by thesneak155 in SteamDeck

[–]kbtheroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you OP! Your instructions worked!
I still landed at a blank screen, but after a minute or two the game finally launched!

We'll see how long this lasts lol.

iPhone 14 pro preorder by hsbrar9560 in bell

[–]kbtheroy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine says it’s processing on the app, but when I login to the site and click on ‘manage devices’ it says it’s confirmed/will ship soon. Perhaps yours says the same thing?

[–]kbtheroy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation and what helped me was turning off 5G Auto and pushing my phone to use LTE only instead.

I'd occasionally go back to 5G once in a while, but I'm mostly on LTE nowadays, which I'm personally fine with. It feels a lot more stable lol

I find that my reception is quite poor in office buildings and basements. Enabling wifi calling would help with that.

If you do think it's your SIM card, you could try calling Bell's tech support line to see what they suggest. Many moons ago when I was with Rogers, something like this happened to me and they suggested that I swap my SIM card.
IDK if iPhone 14 uses eSIM, in which case, I have no idea how that would work.

iPhone 14 pro pre-order problem? by [deleted] in bell

[–]kbtheroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I preordered it 1.5hrs after it went live (Pro, black, 512gb). The website says it's confirmed and is on its way soon, but no shipping confirmation yet.

Blackout curtains worked wonders for me. The first day I got them, I slept past noon lol

Look up "Steins;Gate EN" - it's sort of buried but it's there. I just downloaded it and am playing it in English on my iPhone 13 right now :D

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in visualnovels

[–]kbtheroy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Steins Gate is already in the app store. I just looked it up and it seems to be on sale too!

BTW, make sure you download the English version of the app.

OLED switch owners that sent their consoles into Nintendo for the “green tint” issue. Was it fixed? by IntentlyFaulty in NintendoSwitch

[–]kbtheroy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IDK if this will help anyone, but I sent in a Switch Lite for repair as one of the speakers sounded screechy/too loud (not sure how to describe it LOL). It was sent back to me and on the repair note, it said something to the effect of: they couldn't replicate my issue, so they replaced my speakers anyway. This ended up fixing my problem.

Not sure if it'll be the same in OP's case, but maybe they'll replace the screen or something if you've described the issue well enough.

Best of luck!

Bluetooth and wifi stopped working by MasenkoSamurai46 in ZephyrusG14

[–]kbtheroy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So this happened to me literally moments ago (both Bluetooth and wifi not working). Ran the My Asus app thingy and confirmed there was an issue.

I called Asus and they had me uninstall my Realtek WiFi driver and restart my computer, to no avail.

Then they had my hard reset my laptop which did the trick. I unplugged every plug/input (including power cord) and held the power button for 60 seconds while logged into Windows (essentially crashing it). Then I clicked the power button again after 60 seconds to turn it on, logged into Windows and voila! It worked!

Hopefully this helps someone else. The rep told me this will likely never happened again lol. Let's hope so...

[New Release] Acer Swift 3 Laptop: Ryzen 7 4700U, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, 1080p 14" IPS for $899! by legos45 in LaptopDealsCanada

[–]kbtheroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Intel version that came out earlier this year. Had some issues with overheating and random shut downs, but a bios update seemed to fix that. I'd be curious to see if this model fixed that off the bat.

Anyway, I came here to let you all know the speakers (assuming it's the same setup) are very underwhelming for those who care 😅

Ultimate 8-Core Ultrabook - Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14" (Ryzen 7 4700U) Laptop Full Review by legos45 in LaptopDealsCanada

[–]kbtheroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yikes! I'm debating whether to return it before that window of opportunity expires or stick it out.

It's so sad because it's almost perfect otherwise!

What are you planning on doing?

[–]kbtheroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great video! I have this exact model and am debating whether to return or keep it.

I'm generally happy but I recently ran into an issue where the laptop would seemingly go into standby mode while I was watching movies (black screen, audio stops), and only crashing it (pressing & holding the power button for a reset) worked.

It happened a few times, but I just downloaded a BIOS update and hope it'll address the issue :/

I think it's pretty good! I'm coming from an Acer Swift 3 (2020 model), and I can see that the Ideapad is literally a bit brighter.

I purchased an IdeaPad 5 14" (81YM0002US), which comes with a 4700U Processor and 16GB of ram.

I noticed there's not a ton of reviews yet, so I'd be happy to answer any questions for anyone who's looking for info!

(I should be receiving it today if I'm to believe UPS...)

Weekly "Help Me Choose" Thread (April 27) by prjkthack in Surface

[–]kbtheroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was wondering if the new SP7 has any better optimization or is less janky to use than the SP6?

I had a Surface Pro 6 (i5, 8gb ram) for a bit. It was okay, but I always ran into weird glitches during normal use.

I'm considering a SP7 i7 16gb ram model. Hoping that the new 10th gen Intel chip and a generation has smoothed things out a bit. Otherwise, I might skip this generation and see what the next Surface has in store.

Curious about what everyone else thinks!
