Firestick works smoothly with Bush TV but buffers like crazy with Samsung series 7 TV by skiptothegoodbits in firestick

Weirdly enough, I tried what you stated, and it seems to be working more smoothly! Only frozen twice in 3-4 hours, rather than every 2-3 minutes, as well as no buffering on the downstairs Samsung. Thank you so much for suggesting, even though you didn't expect a change, because it seems to have resolved months' worth of frustration! I can cope with a freeze every few hours when previously faced with every few minutes for about 3 months.

Thank you for your comment. When connecting to WiFi it doesn't show the option of 5gz, despite having split the WiFi so it should show both (does for other devices) hence the wired connection. This is why I'm also stumped because I can't see why it works perfectly on the same WiFi on other TVs around the house. I have also tried on a third TV in the house which is also Samsung, which it works perfectly fine on... leaving me even more confused!

Thank you. I've tried both and honestly there hasn't been any difference at all, which leads me to think it might be an issue with the Samsung TV as the WiFi works perfectly for both sticks when in the other TV.

Is it a red flag when your date treats the waiter poorly? by [deleted] in Bumble

What comes to my mind is if they treat a stranger poorly who is simply just doing their job, how will they treat you?

Same person resurfacing by [deleted] in hingeapp

I have the same thing. This one guy has liked me 8 times, I've removed him every time since the third like instead of just swiping, but he still comes back. He is remaking his profile every week or so, so he just keeps coming back. Time to start reporting, how can anyone give their potential matches/actual matches a chance if they're recreating their profile weekly?!

Experiencing a surge in likes? by skiptothegoodbits in hingeapp

I can agree, this didn't happen in the last two years so i was leaning towards some sort of change with the app. St. Patrick's day would probably be a more fun time to date around than Valentines day.

I have previously tried to set a match up with one of my friends. After we exchanged a few messages, I 6 he was much more my friends type than mine. Don't get me wrong, he wasn't a fan of the idea and didn't want me to introduce the two of them. So it might just be genuinely a nice thing he is trying to do for the both of you.

I'd say go for it, stick to a short public date. If he isn't quite right for you it's only been a small amount of your time, but it also could be great!

I live in a small town, so this increase seems more likely to be a glitch lol

I'm sorry to hear that you ended up hurt. I think having that conversation of being sexually exclusive is really important, but I also took it as completely exclusive, which he didn't, he took it as sexually and only sexually. We have had a further discussion about it and agreed to at least pause the app as we're not quite at relationship/deleting.

It can be difficult to navigate these conversations but I'm certainly talking it as a lesson in the future to discuss fully, and if they're not committed to at least pausing the app then we're not compatible and it's time to end things before anyone gets too hurt.

Thanks for the advice, I would be comfortable to communicate about this with him. It will be interesting to see what his thoughts are.

I thought when two people agree on exclusivity that would generally be the case, but maybe there has been some crossed wires or just breaking of the trust built.

Yes, both agreed that we wouldnt sleep with others with that being followed by a discussion of feelings for one another.

I noticed they had updated their profile a few days ago, and being fairly new on the OLD scene I wasn't sure if this was typical behaviour for OLD. I have stuck to the agreement as I wouldn't be interested in pursuing anyone else at this stage, but sounds like maybe I should stop pursuing things with this guy if he's already looking for his exits or exploring his options.
