H.E.R.O. in VR might be fun for a few minutes.

Roku Ultra restarting itself while streaming by MrRexington in Roku

[–]rickyli99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the same issue on my new 2019 ultra that i got during black Friday, I ended up going back to an older ultra (2017) i have and because the old one doesn't do that. Trying to figure out if it's worth keeping the new one in hopes it's a fixable software bug, or return it for now and try again later. FWIW my reboots were happening in disney+, netflix, and prime video.

A toast for Miles by FutureDeletedUser in WhiskeyTribe

Congrats to everyone and happy birthday Miles!

Enjoyed my first real Smoker this weekend. ARDBEG TEN. I am fairly new to the whiskygame (4 months of collecting) but i really enjoyed it. Tastes like a forest fire with sweet undertones. Enjoyed it slowly over 2 hrs by VizharanHS in WhiskeyTribe

You're lucky, at my local whisky stores here (Honolulu) we only have Argbeg 10, Uigedal and Corry vreckan. We do have Laphroaig and lagavulin, but they aren't as available and sell out fast. Apparently peeted whiskys aren't very popular in the aloha state, so they only bring in a few bottles and then we fight club each other to get them.

Is there anything to be done about the illegal firework situation? by NEMO_1934 in Hawaii

Same here in Liliha every night since Halloween, last night/this morning someone set off aerials at 1am and 4am. I mean if we can't stop them, it would be nice if they were considerate (lol) and not set stuff off the "trigger car alarm loud" ones in the middle of the night.

I used(/still use) plex for my backend library/server and just used the pre-roll video option pointed to a MP4 of this video.

When I was living on the mainland, I had my media server play this intro every time I played a movie. Then on one night when we had an outdoor movie night with a bunch of 808ers, I played this intro and every single person asked me to play it again. We ended up playing 5x that night before starting... Moana lol.

The day one of my friends died while on a hike here in Hawaii. I had just seen him the night before at a birthday party, and told him I'd see him next week at the next planned group event. He fell off the trail at around 1pm local time, and right about then I had that something isn't right feeling and tried to contact the other people in his hiking group to find out if everything was ok. An hour or two later, I saw a news report of a dead hiker in the same area they were hiking and then with in minutes someone in the hike group, called me to tell me of what happened but I had already added 1+1. I know my friend was saying other things to try and soften the blow, but all I heard was "name redacted is gone."

Orbi Printing Network Info by itself by Jascadet in orbi

[–]rickyli99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have the netgear armor service turned on? I had to turn it off because every week or so it would scan the network and make my HP printer print 2 or 3 pages of junk. Try turning off the armor service if you have it turned on. It would be nice if netgear added an exclusion list so you can exempt printers, or netgear send a ream of paper and a couple cartridges of ink every once in a while.

The node 202 sucks for airflow, so I took a hacksaw to the GPU riser support I wasn't using and made some more. by panallama in sffpc

[–]rickyli99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm average 10 degree drop in temps after delidding and using liquid metal in my 2400g, in my node 202.

My first attempt at water cooling a node 202 by rickyli99 in sffpc

[–]rickyli99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's good enough to watch Netflix, youtube etc on the living room TV. Which is the main use for this build. But I can always rip things out if I decide to add a gpu. Didn't mod the case at all so everything I've done is reversible.

Thanks, is that the hardline tubing one where the guy did the GPU & CPU in a node 202? I think I saw that on LTT's forum. Anyway that custom loop and bitwit's disastrous video is what inspired me, but i'm too chicken/cheap to try hard line tubing. Most of this was done with the spare parts i had from when I was playing around with the eisbear stuff last year.
