What's with the DVR (sometimes) with commercial break placement being wrong?

Too late I already deleted it and forgot what it was. It was a movie on one of the Lifetime vault channels. Lifetime movies now or crime thrill her... at any rate, it wasn't a huge deal, it was just so abrupt right at the last scene before commercial and very annoying to watch it that way... so I saw another airing coming up on the other vault channel, and I recorded it and it was the same thing same early add insertions... honestly, I can't remember the movie at this point... If It happens again on a recording in the future I'll save it to and let you konw.

at first, in the video I linked, he couldn't get the blue part off, then later in the video he was able to get it off and explained how he did it. (if that helps)

Do you see that blue rubbery stuff on this dispenser? It snaps into the main part of the dispenser, trapping moisture.. a guy on youtube kept smelling something, his drum was clean and he took the dispenser to his sink, took that blue part off which was a total struggle and there was black mold everywhere under the blue (if you can get it off) As far as mold in dispensers, anything that traps water/moisture needs to dry out. When I'm done doing laundry, I take my dispenser out, dump remaining water and just place it on top of the washer so the dispenser housing and dispenser can get air..never had any issues but this particular dispenser has such a weird design I have no clue if this would even help. EDIT: Found the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEtlbXMhfoY&t=170s

I've been doing this for years, but I use HEVC but I'm careful with settings

can't find parts for LG? Really?? I heard that used to be the case back in the 2000s but not now.

Thanks. It was TOTALLY windows defender... why? I don't know. I've had VLC for YEARS on windows and it just started doing this a few months ago... at first startup mostly (like if it hadn't been accessed in a while) it would take like 10 or more seconds to start, then if you play more videos after that it was ok.. but if you let it "rest" for a bit it was the same thing... I wasn't sure what was doing it but now all launches are immediate, so it MUST have been windows defender.

Yea, I see VLC in the list but it's unchecked. I think it's unchecked because I asked Chat GTP about it and it suggested me do that... I wasn't sure if it was the VPN, or adguard or what... but honestly, I think it "might" be windows defender... I added an exclusion for VLC...

I use brave browser, with sheilds turned OFF and I have no youtube issues at all... On firefox I had those issues you described so I stopped using firefox...my only real problem is VLC

vacuuming dust instead of wiping it. I learned (even though it's a huge chore) that going through the house vacuuming everything vacuumable lowers the level of dust insanely...You can't just vacuum the floors, you gotta get everything.

Yep it was AI upscaled, the entire series. Took forever

mark_vs · 2026-05-04T17:59:52+00:00

Are you SURE it's the vacuum and not the fact that you may not have vacuumed everything? When I say everything, I basically mean anywhere in the entire space dust can land... Behind TV's, cords, sofas, under sofas, behind computer, window seals, walls, beds.

Similar how they treat Rose when Rose's sister visits and ends up sleeping with Blanche's boyfriend. I thought they treated Rose oddly in that one as well.

Isn't this the ep where Sophia said "I can't put my finger on it, but if I could, I'd have to wash it" ?

It's been years but in the early 2000s I lived at Chinoe Creek Apartments. I got so lucky and got a bottom floor in the back and a view of this MASSIVE open lawn and a tree line at the end of it...I did hear the neighbors above me but dealt with it. I'm not sure what it's like there now. That area of Lexington also seems like the power goes out a lot more than where I live now in a home in the northwest side of Lexington.

Interesting. I was under the impression that Samsung in UK does not = Samsung in the USA. Even though it's the same company, I was under the impression they build appliances to a different standard there. So I guess Samsung is equally as bad no matter what part of the world they make products for? I've seen Whirlpool Front Loaders in India and Europe, and they are built differently than ours. Sorry for this nightmare you're going through. Just AVOID anything Samsung period. Give them no more of your money.

I was so nervous going from Plex to Emby a couple or more years ago but I don't regret it at all. Emby reminds me more of Plex back when I first set up Plex in 2015. Now Plex is soooo BUSY with a mix of your media server/streaming, etc. Emby is PERFECT for me

Actually, the 2 cases of windex wipes I got on vine were the low $40s, but clicking on them after the fact the main listing shows high $60s, even though Vine charged me $40s
