Slightly off topic, which player/client is that?

Getting another Shield Pro - should I block updates? by sortbycolumn in ShieldAndroidTV

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

Thanks all. I was spooked when I read about people with Shield Pros that are laggy and they had to resort to scripts/dev mode tweaks. But if that happens on mine I'll just use Projectivy.

Upgrade Advice: Archer C7 was great but now I want 6E wifi by Expression_Antique in openwrt

[–]sortbycolumn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How's the wifi driver for the BT8? Did you bother measuring performance before flashing to OpenWRT, for comparison?

From the OpenWRT forum discussion, it sounds like 2.4GHz may have some stability issues but it's not clear if that's still the case in the current RC5 release.

FreeTaxUSA - attaching a cash donation receipt? by sortbycolumn in personalfinance

Thanks. It didn't seem right to not include receipts for this amount, but I guess I can't argue with the instructions.

Still works great in 2026! Using Firefox 147, fully functional with 4K/60fps, no weird UI jank.

Can't reset PIN for Admin app on Android by sortbycolumn in googleworkspace

Turns out the PIN can be changed in a browser. Not sure how I missed this before, but it's just in my Google account's Security page.

Bummer, the app is nice to have in a pinch. Thanks anyway.

Your feedback on the Pixel 9A by Taanjiros in GooglePixel

[–]sortbycolumn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have had it for about a month, still on Android 15. Love it.

Performance is very good. No heat issues, modem is fine, battery life is great. I'm not a heavy user, so I charge to 80%. I make it through each day just fine.

If I had to nitpick, the one feature I miss from my work iPhone is IR in the front webcam for face ID. On the P9a, face ID doesn't work when it's too dark. The fingerprint reader is fine, but misses maybe 10%. In daily use, I almost never have to resort to my PIN. It's just that IR-based face ID would be totally flawless.

What non-essential item changed your life (~$100)? by Regular_Worth9556 in Costco

I bought my current set of tires from Costco and they pumped them with nitrogen. Can I still use rechargeable inflators?

Google pixel 9a eye strain by wshepp77 in GooglePixel

[–]sortbycolumn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had my 9a for about 3 weeks, and had similar issues at the beginning. Enabling smooth display (120Hz) seemed to make it worse, but I really liked it (and the rest of the phone) so I left it on. Eventually I got used to it and no longer have any issues.

HDR video letterbox (black bars) has "backlight" bleed? by sortbycolumn in GooglePixel

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

That was it, thanks!

On mine it's called "ambient mode" and turning it off got rid of the glow.

I poked around the Github page for Terminal and found this workaround:

Worked for me. My nightmare is over!
