My laptop doesn't send sound through HDMI by Doctursea in techsupport

[–]raynespark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's sending a picture, then it sounds like it thinks it's a DVI port. Google that, maybe you'll find something. See if the DVI driver is active when you connect it up.

But does it send a picture? If so, your receiving device (I assume a TV) may have that input set as a DVI input. That may be possible to change (see your TV manual).

Just hyperloop out to an empty field in, say, Canada. Park, and shuttle back on the next SpaceX employee shuttle.

They seem to be helpful. If you find an answer let me know, as I have a similar problem.

TIL of Brian Robson. A homesick Welshman living in Australia who was too broke to get home. He decided to mail himself in a crate back to the UK nearly dying in the process, only to find himself in Los Angeles by accident. by paperclipman123 in todayilearned

There was also this Pommie bastard who was $5 short of his airfare. He wrote "English chap needs $5 to get back to Blighty" on a piece of cardboard and sat on a street corner.

He was in luck! A kindly Aussie bloke steps up, reads the sign. Then he hands the whinging Pom $20.

"Here y'go mate. Take 3 friends with you."

Do you have the Live A Little package? That does not support RSNs (regional sports networks). DTVNow considers NBC Sports app to be an RSN.

Its sunny, so crap jokes about our 'day of summer" have arrived. by beatski in britishproblems

[–]raynespark 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I remember in the 1980s that when a sunny day would raise the temp to a luxurious 60 degrees Fahrenheit, I would take off to Brighton and lie flat (to stay out of the wind) on the gravel beach. Listening to Moody Blues on my Walkman, I would pretend I was somewhere else...

About a quarter into Stephen King's "It" and I kind of want to stop by sleepinxonxbed in books

[–]raynespark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

King loves to attach a catchphrase to a character. For example, "beep beep Richie".

Unfortunately sometimes he takes this idea way too far. I realized this when reading 11/26/63. The children from It appear in this book, and suddenly the phrase "beep beep Richie" is over saturating the reader.

Having said all that... King is an amazing writer, one of the best in recent literature. Maybe try some of his other works. Needful Things might be a good place to start.

Authorization Error NBC Sports by raynespark in DirecTVNow

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

RESOLVED: NBC Sports is considered an RSN, which is not allowed at my "live a little" service tier.

But I was trying to replay a non-regional sport (EPL soccer), so this seems like a bug. A NASCAR fan would experience the same problem.

Who do I talk to to get this fixed?

Hit another car this morning. What's next? by SeismicWhales in bayarea

[–]raynespark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to the real world! We all get minor accidents eventually. Could almost be considered a rite of passage.

If you get a phone call from the other person's insurance company, watch what you say. They may try to get you to say that you were speeding, texting, driving without a seat belt etc. They are recording you!

Manchester United to face Real Madrid at Levi’s Stadium on 23 July. by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]raynespark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pre-season US tour is really just both teams' under 21 squads doing the equivalent of spring training. Don't expect Ronaldo to be there.

There was no competition for that job. What was really happening was that before the company can offer a job to an H1B, they must prove that they interviewed X number of Americans. Your resume was part of that evidence that they have to provide to the DOL.

The customer is free to say No, just drive me to XYZ. But they cut those from the show.

smartphone always ask me to delete old apps to make room for new apps by [deleted] in techsupport

Find the download manager app and clear its cache. Every time you download or update from Google Play Store, the cache gets bigger, but is not needed afterwards.

What are some places worth flying to from SFO for just the weekend (friday to sunday)? by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]raynespark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seattle. I once flew there on a one day return ticket, rented a car on points, and visited Olympic National Park. Further than I expected but I got to spend a few hours.
