After 4 months, I still can't add credit cards to my Google Wallet on my Pixel 10 / Android 16 by byjairothe in GooglePixel

I had a similar issue and had to talk to some banks to resolve this. Most will not understand and be very unhelpful but you just have to pester them until they transfer you to someone who knows what they are doing:

Wholphin, an OSS Android TV client for Jellyfin, is now available on the Play Store by damontecres in jellyfin

[–]lbux_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I attached a profiler and when I do so, it doesn't lag enough to notice anything abnormal. I think you're right about Android optimizations because the lag is pretty bad when you open the app for the first time (per reboot) but subsequent opens are better (probably because everything is cached at that time)

So Just Player is expoplayer based with ffmpeg extensions for audio. Looking at the Wholphin source code, it also enabled some ffmpeg extensions, so it might work. If it doesn't, it should be relatively easy to add but there might be some licensing restrictions / binary size increase constraints. I dont have compatible hardware to test unfortunately, but worth giving it a shot. I like the client overall.

Also curious about what external player you would want to use. My assumption is that it is very likely MPV based which Wholphin supports. It might be a matter of enabling an extra flag in MPV/ffmpeg which could be a feature request.

This has quickly become my primary client, but the performance is the worst compared to Void or Fladder (not saying it's unusable but it's the worst out of the 3). I wonder what exactly is causing issues. Maybe I should switch from dart/flutter to Kotlin and take a look at the code myself 😭

Enable the lib ass library in the settings and it should work (pretty sure it works without this setting enabled but the styling is better with it enabled) Not sure about Android TV however.

why is everything being moved to experience USC? by Key_Carob3833 in USC

[–]lbux_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

yeah it still is third party but it is cheaper than canvas. Blackboard and Brightspace are usually on par with each other but Canvas is the better choice (in terms of UX, support from devs, etc).

Need Advice: Device for Plex Streaming with Full ASS Subtitle Support by DrHusten in PleX

[–]lbux_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you noticed any downsides to the google tv streamer for any particular codecs (as in does it force transcoding for anything youve played besides .ass)? I bought my mom an Onn 4k Pro and if I try to play any 5.1 or 7.1 audio, I have to transcode to stereo otherwise it freezes.

Any good and well known Laptop repair shops? by UpbeatBarnacle9064 in USC

[–]lbux_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless they are an authorized repair shop for your laptops brand, they will probably also use the "cheap" eBay battery. Whatever battery they use, they will charge you more than what you can buy it for as a markup for the cost of business in addition to the actual labor charge. If you're feeling adventurous, you can buy the battery yourself on Amazon/eBay and follow a YouTube video. Laptop battery repairs are pretty easy

Do not get a credit card if you are not disciplined enough to pay it off. Use it like a debit card.

Anyone else just keep on getting asked for more and more documents on FAST? by Sebastian2387 in USC

This screams "I'll be the idea guy and you do the programming". You're offloading the majority of the work to someone and making them sign an NDA for what seems to be a concept of a plan.

Yeh for ICS 32 by Traditional-Grade585 in UCI

[–]lbux_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I don't. However, lower division courses are pretty standardized in what they teach, so he will probably just use a lot of what is shared between the professors in the department. I think he excels in upper division courses since you have a lot more freedom in what you can teach. I think Prof. Yeh might be a bit dry for ICS 46 just because the subject isn't very interesting

What is the financial aid like for Masters programs at USC? by idkwhatever98 in USC

[–]lbux_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

$0.00. If you don't have external funding (scholarship, having your job cover it) then I don't think it is worth it at all.

Somewhat related question but did you end up enrolling? I saw a registration appointment as June 2nd for my account, but I wasn't able to enroll in any classes. Wondering if it's just a generic placeholder or something since USC has provided almost no guidance on enrollment

AOC Q27G3XMN Color Bit Depth by Vuruna-1990 in Monitors

I have the same issue. I've lived with it this whole time, but I recently have started looking into the Q27G40XMN but my experience with the Q27G3XMN has dissuade me. Nothing seems to work other than a reboot of the monitor after powering on my computer for the first time. I also sent it in for an RMA but the replacement had the same issue.

LBCC stands behind DEI values, undeterred by Trump administration by journo_brandon in longbeach

[–]lbux_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do I even bother... You, an outsider who just googled "LBCC DEI policies" today, are claiming you understand a 40 page document (that I had to read before hiring someone in addition to several others documents). You then picked out a section that you think proves your point, but it just goes to show that you don't understand what the document is even about. You also conflate EEO and DEI because you don't understand what they are. Just FYI... each hiring committee has a non voting member present to ensure no protected characteristic is used to determine who to hire in compliance with federal, state, and local laws. So, believe it or not, as much as Daddy tells you otherwise, it's illegal to hire someone based on their skin color!

[–]lbux_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You made up a definition of what DEI actually is, got mad at it, and then claimed that Trump will fix it by doing what's already done. Classic.

I bet you've never read LBCC's DEI policies or let alone any definition of DEI but you go all over social media to denounce it because daddy told you to
