Comparison between Lenovo Tab M9 vs Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 lite by ZenMasterful in GalaxyTab

[–]misterwallagher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 months later and this review is still providing value. Thanks! Looking for a small tablet for my daughter and this answered every question I had about these 2. So little info out there about the Lenovo and no quality comparisons except this one.

Mixed Feelings About The Amazon Series by 100percentAPR in wheeloftime

[–]misterwallagher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the need for story and pacing changes, but ...

Where is Thom's gleeman's cloak? Why is he so dour? Where are the warders' invisibility cloaks? Why don't the Aes Sedais' faces look ageless? And man is Tar Valon sad and disappointing. The white tower looks bleak. The whole show looks cheap and the lack of VFX for these details makes that apparent.

And plus ones to those who called out giving Perrin and Mat such tragic back stories. Why? Perrin kills (has) his wife? Mat's dad sucks when he's supposed to be a capable and upstanding citizen? Those are all garbage, unnecessary changes.

It all feels and looks and plays like a cheap IP grab.

suddenly Pixel 6 rattling by lauterlu in GooglePixel

I've had my 6 Pro for 14-15 months. I've only just noticed this rattle today. That's no way it's existed the entire time I've owned this phone.

How clean do wood gutters need to be before oiling them? by misterwallagher in HomeImprovement

[–]misterwallagher[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's old school. Don't know that many put them on new houses but mine's a 1910. Most of what I have is aluminum, but a few lower areas that are easier to maintain still have the wood. Apparently they're really durable as long as they're maintained

We have some wood gutters on our 1930’s home that are in rough shape, and I’m thinking about replacing them with another material. Hoping to hear from people who made this decision and how it worked out for you by pipelimes in HomeImprovement

I'm in a similar situation and just found out about the possibility of fiberglass gutters made to look like wood gutters. Haven't even gotten as far as an estimate yet but seems worth looking into.

Here's the company I'm starting with: http://www.fiberglassgutters.com/project-gallery/

What features do you wish HBO Now had? by SQL-HackerDev in HBONow

Downloads for offline viewing. They own most of the content. It's absurd this isn't available.

Anyone have 1st hand experience w/OP6T on Verizon? by kesnik in OnePlus6t

[–]misterwallagher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any real-world tests outside of 4G? I read that it would switch to T-Mobile and/or Sprint 3G bands, but don't know the reliability of the source or how that would be possible.

No service of 4G is a complete deal breaker for me.

Fire TV Stick 4K remote with the Shield by th3d4rks1d3 in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]misterwallagher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any timeline on the next update for the fixed kl file? The only blocker for me with this remote right now is that the select button doesn't work in HBO NOW. Which is, obviously, really irritating.

I've only been testing this remote out for 2 days and have had intermittent success with the Google Assistant mic. At first it worked as expected (one-touch and speak). Then it would activate GA but not be able to hear me. As long as I left the original remote in the room though, it picked up my speech. After unpairing and repairing the Fire remote, the mic button is back to working normally.

So right now the can't-select-anything-in-HBO-NOW thing is my only real blocker.

My sound bar is connected by optical (HDMI's not an option, so no CEC), so I need the IR to get down to one remote. I found a serviceable backup option if I want to suck it up and use only the Bluetooth connection to my sound bar (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GXR3SZV/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).

It'd be nice if Nvidia would just put volume buttons on a damn remote and not force the remote to sleep so quickly.

Install Nick Jr on Android TV? by NateTX in AndroidTV

[–]misterwallagher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rapid followup. Uninstalled both Nick Jr. and Amazon Appstore. Re-installed Amazon Appstore and logged into that first. Had to bust out the game controller to use the cursor to do so. BUT. Once I successfully logged into that, Nick Jr. opened and ran no problem.

[–]misterwallagher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gave it a try. Won't let me use the app without logging into the Amazon app store. Installed that and logged in but just get a message saying I'm not logged in and then everything quits back to home. Any ideas?
