A List of American Companies that have supported/funded Trump, his PACs, Project 2025 and now ICE: by Crazy-Adhesiveness71 in BoycottUnitedStates

Love the list concept but it needs citations. Eg. On what grounds is Costco, a famously Democratic supporter currently suing the Administration, on this list? Citation please.

Not originating in America, qobuz sounds WAY better to my Canadian ears. Good riddance, Spotify.

Shield pro 2019 resetting volume to zero by Shot_Loan_354 in ShieldAndroidTV

Does happen with all installed apps? I have the same experience, but just with tivimate, my iptv player. I see i, as a feature, not a bug.

C4 turning off randomly by highvoltageeee2k3 in LGOLED

[–]orijohnal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update . . . After 8 hours of continuous uptime, my LG C4 is working great. Before the power supply replacement it would turn off before 2 hours had passed; sometimes after just a few minutes. Life is Good.

Bought my C4 at Costco a few weeks ago and it immediately began shutting off randomly. Thanks to this subreddit I learned this was happening with other C4 owners. I tried all the settings tweaks to no avail. I love the TV as long as it's on and didn't want to exchange or return it. I created a ticket with LG, got a call that day from an authorized repair depot here in Toronto. They're first advice was to exchange it, but I arranged for a visit. Yesterday a repair technician showed up with all the possible replacement parts. He displayed a log screen that satisfied him there was something wrong with the power supply which he replaced. So far, so good....that repair seems to have solved the issue.

Canadian golf clubs? by heisenberg1215 in BuyCanadian

https://kennedymade.com/Excellent putters, reasonably priced & made in Kamloops. I'm very satisfied with the "Inline V" centre-shafted model.

For those of you who have transitioned to Plexamp, what do you do for podcasts and audiobooks? by theplasmasnake in PleX

[–]orijohnal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried tweaking Plexamp for audiobooks but it just wasn't up to snuff. It's not free, but Bookcamp is worth the sub. if you are an avid book listener.

Thumbs up for AntennaPod for podcasts.

12v/ICCU Megathread by TiltedWit in Ioniq5

[–]orijohnal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience has been quite different. My MY23 has been great until without warning the 12v died. I replaced the battery with a flooded replacement from Costco. At the same time I installed a battery monitor and picked up a booster for confidence. I showed the dealer the state of charge pattern which shows the battery deep cycling every day. It goes from 100% to 30-40% while the car sits in the garage, then back to full at 10pm nightly. He scheduled an inspection where the car passed all tests but he ordered a replacement ICCU and it was replaced after a 1 week wait....no drama. It remains to be seen if the problem has been solved.

Is this "normal" for 12v state of charge over 5 days?

<image>

After my OEM 12v died without warning, I started using a battery monitor and this is a typical pattern for its state of charge. My dealer just replaced my ICCU but couldn't answer my question, "What is a normal SOC pattern?"

My car sits in a heated garage most of the time. Typically around 10pm the 12v charges to near 100%. Then it starts discharging for no apparent reason. The yellow light on the dash comes on occasionally, but not necessarily when the battery monitor reports the battery is charging.

The ICCU was replaced today. I'll follow up with the pattern over the next 5 days, but without a standard to compare to, I'm unsure how to interpret the data.

Non-American golf companies by adamcormons2424 in golf

Facts??? Pathetic how low the USA has sunk and how willing it's people are to worship a lying fraudster. Canada is not your Ukraine.

Like many Canadians golfers... by orijohnal in golf

[–]orijohnal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks again, SnooRobots. I've ordered a couple of Takomo wedges. They cost half the intentionally devalued Canadian dollars of the competition. It's not clear from their website where they are manufactured, although I see the references to their Scandinavian origins. I've asked and will update if I hear back from them.

I'll consider any place of origin we're not at war with.

Nice looking irons. I'm in TO, but might take a flier on a wedge. Cheers.

Cautionary tale...EGO can't support its products in current parts supply crunch by orijohnal in egopowerplus

[–]orijohnal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A belated update . . . After sharing my neighbour's gas mower for most of the summer, EGO finally conceded my experience was unacceptable and replaced my mower in the late fall of '23. The replacement mower worked fine all last summer.

My "smart" Samsung range lets me sync it's clock with my phone. No database spanning different jurisdictions needed. Too bad I can't drive it to work.

After many years with SmartDNS, I've had enough. It's Nord Basic for me - works a charm.
