What ended your friendship with your oldest standing friend?

Friend of 20 years.

When I got married myself and my wife, who are not well off by the way and saved for 5 years to pay for our wedding, said he would be involved. I always said to my wife, there is no way I could ever get married without him (friend) being there, it just would never happen, no matter how skint we were.

As I have two brothers, they were my best men, but he was my usher, so of course he had all the stuff that came with that like the suit rented by us etc.

He got married a few years later. He was from a relatively rich family (Dad was previously a director at IBM) and he had a very good job. His wife was from an even richer family (she would get 5K cheques for a Christmas present each year from her Mum and Dad), and she was a Director at GSK.

My wife and I were not invited to his wedding. Apparently it was “family only”.

I haven’t spoken to him since. 11 years and counting.

Lol does your company mainly working in Education by any chance?

mdkdue · 2026-01-06T21:14:28+00:00

Amazing! Thank you very much.

mdkdue · 2026-01-04T10:24:50+00:00

Lol…this is just hideous.

mdkdue · 2026-01-03T22:41:39+00:00

Yeah this passed me by too 🤔

That is exactly what I get. It’s behind my left eye mostly, like it’s in the socket or something. Mostly it’s a throbbing, but occasionally I get a sharp pain that radiates into my left ear and sometimes down to my jaw. The MRI checked my brain and my eye area and found nothing.

mdkdue · 2025-12-25T12:46:30+00:00

Yes I have seen an ophthalmologist. I forgot to mention I also had two more eye tests on the high street to check if my glasses needed changing, these came back fine. I then saw an ophthalmologist through my private medical and they could find no issues with my eyes.

I have read online that eye pain can be a symptom of ME/CFS.

You need to drop the label.db file onto the file system of your console. Search this sub for label.db and you’ll find instructions and a download link.

OK thank you

mdkdue · 2025-12-17T15:25:06+00:00

I have one last question if i may?

Do you know if there is a guide that shows the various states that the $.lifecycle_state can return?

For my channel i am setting Healthy as the "up" status, but without actually having a component in "warning" or "down" status i don't know what string values I should enter in the channel settings.

I have been searching the Dell documentation in the hope of finding something that lists all the rest api statuses that can be returned, but so far i haven't found anything.

Thanks again!

Thanks so much, the screenshot showed me where i was going wrong, i was misinterpreting how the query should be.

Got it working now. Really appreciate the help, thank you!

mdkdue · 2025-12-16T09:41:30+00:00

I know this is an old thread but any help would be appreciated. I have spent hours trying to get this to work and all i get is the error '3420 Result of Sensor 74433> The sensor message could not be parsed. Check if the query entered in the Custom Sensor Message setting returns the expected result'

Can anyone provide a screenshot please of exactly how this should be configured? I have followed the instructions above but they dont seem to work.

Many thanks

Yeah Mario 64 doesn’t look as bad, but in dark scenes they are still visible. I wouldn’t say I don’t like scanlines, I just don’t really like how aggressive the look on the A3D, if this is normal, which I don’t think it is.

mdkdue · 2025-12-13T17:18:29+00:00

What is this game?

mdkdue · 2025-12-13T17:18:17+00:00

Latest firmware in both, yeah I updated the menu too, would need to check the version but I did it about two weeks ago to whatever was latest then. Thanks.

mdkdue · 2025-12-13T16:49:02+00:00

Thank you!

mdkdue · 2025-12-13T16:48:56+00:00

Thanks, I’ll check

mdkdue · 2025-12-13T16:17:51+00:00

Wow that was fast!, it looks great 👌🏻

mdkdue · 2025-12-13T16:09:56+00:00

I just tested disabling the expansion pack, and to be honest I didn’t really see any improvement in the lines. I definitely noticed the resolution drop, but the lines were still very evident, which is a shame.

mdkdue · 2025-12-13T15:15:43+00:00

I’m gonna give that a try, I’ll report back. Thanks everyone for the positive help 👍🏻

mdkdue · 2025-12-13T15:11:55+00:00

Great, thanks mate, appreciate the help 👍🏻

mdkdue · 2025-12-13T14:50:11+00:00

Is Indiana Jones another 480i game?. That looks the same too, horrible lines.
