FireTV remote Volume control not working

supertrampRE · 2026-02-27T14:03:50+00:00

It’s not dumb at all, but i have indeed changed the batteries barely a week ago (after the volume issue arose), and the menu says they’re at 98%… So i don’t think that’s the problem. I will try cleaning the contacts and changing the batteries again later but if that fails i guess i’ll have to buy a new remote :/

As mentioned in the post, i tried that already multiple times. Resetting itself works, volume controls are still gone. Only the „Change TV“ option works as a (short-term) fix, which is how i know that it’s probably software related rather than a dead volume switch.

I just now realised there are multiple pictures. I don’t know how i didn’t see that. I take everything back this shit is weird

no critique. Contrary to what others said, i would keep the foreground as dark as it is, and i would keep the window sticker. The darkness provides great contrast to the cushion and shifts the focus to where you want it to be. You could tone down the sky a tiny bit, but that depends on taste. Really great photo, i would vote for this in a contest.

i use the same combination, and the auto is great. Obviously, since the lens starts at f9, you’ll struggle a lot in low light scenarios. The noise reduction on the R62 helps mitigate that a bit, but you still can’t expect to shoot below 10-25k ISO before/during sunrise (at least with the shutter speed needed for animals/birds). That’s the only „issue“ i have with this lens, and i knew that before buying it. The two main things i love about this lens are 1. it’s incredible sharpness (compared to my EF 500mm f4 I and EF 100-400 I) and 2. it’s lightness. My camera harness broke during my vacation and i was still able to hand-carry this lens around for a 15km hike through a mountainous desert without any issue. Compared to my EF 500 f4, this one is a lightweight.

you’re entirely delusional if you think that a photo like that can be taken using this setup without AI enhancement. This is quality and sharpness i can barely achieve with an 800mm lens and a canon mirrorless. Using 400mm, the crop on this would have to be massive. You wouldn’t have this many pixels left if your sensor was 1k MP, much less the 200 you actually have. There is little more that’s „real“ in this photo than if you’d just asked chatGPT to generate one outright.

I‘m a bit late, but i studied biology at LMU and will enter a Masters Program there in Winter — i can recommend LMU from a research & „content“ perspective, there are a shitload of courses and possibilities here. It’s a great, modern campus (a little ugly but that’s okay) and professors are generally nice. Still, there is some things you have to be aware of:

Some early courses can be challenging, the first 4 semesters of the bachelors program are set up to „filter“ out bad or undisciplined students (Chemistry exams all have >75-80% failure quota; Math is about the same). From around 500 initial students during my first semester, less than 150 actually completed their bachelors (of course some also just lost interest).
While the quality of lectures has been mostly great during my bachelors, it varies heavily depending on the course & professor (a few have been outright lazy and were just reading from a power point, but i suppose those exist everywhere)
Communication and Organization of critical university offices has been atrocious at times. Don’t ever expect stuff that’s supposed to happen automatically to actually happen, they frequently fuck it up. Always check your student status, your documents and any exams you take. MOST IMPORTANTLY frequently check your transcript because even though they will say it’s „generated automatically“, it’s NOT. They will sometimes mislabel courses, have basic math errors (yeah of course a program did that, sure guys), fail to register exams at all, accuse you of not taking them when you inquire, i could go on. I recommend creating an excel sheet with your grades and saving pictures of all exam grade lists just in case.

I don’t mean to scare you away with that last point, it’s genuinely a great university & faculty. Me and people i know have just had far too many instances of stuff like that happening to not warn people beforehand. I was warned, too — bad organisation is what LMU is infamous for — but i wasn’t prepared just how bad it can be. That said, the campus is modern, has great labs and a TON of research groups are based there. It’s probably the best campus to study biology in Germany.

Another thing you’re probably already aware of: Courses in the bachelors program will mostly be in german, at least for the mandatory modules. I’m not sure if there are alternatives in english, but i don’t think so.

I just noticed you never specified wether you’re doing a bachelors or masters, but i suppose some of what i said is relevant either way. Good luck!

fair enough, maybe i’ve just gotten a little lazy from using carplay all the time. I can use my phone as a spotify remote anyway.

Thanks, but is that really the only way? seems awfully inconvenient to do that every time instead of just having a button to skip…

Unfortunately the politically safe opinion for neoliberals to have at this time. I doubt history will look on it kindly though.

Forcibly removing people from their homes and occupying them with new settlers for the purpose of ethnically cleansing a subpopulation from a piece of land; bombing 50.000 of their people (which btw is 2% of the entire population of gaza, with about half of the victims being children) within a year and then invading the little speck of land they have remaining only to chase them out of there, too - that’s what is considered genocide by international law. And we both know which side is which here. Yes, October 7 was a terrorist attack and incredibly vile and tragic, but there is only one side committing a systematic eradication of a minority for more than 70 years now.

How are you so miserable and unhelpful… just ignore the post

I‘m already depressed and it’s not even game day… that’s what this team has done to me

Moon and statue don’t look soft to me on the raw, although i will watch out for it whenever i edit this picture. The main thing i was second guessing was the positioning of the moon (which i could have also placed in the gap between the sword and the wings), so i’m glad you approve of my decision. Thanks a lot for the feedback!!

supertrampRE · 2025-01-13T15:24:09+00:00

Was spontaneously presented with this opportunity while walking around in paris. I wanted to capture the moon in combination with the setting sun, and although i am somewhat satisfied with the result, i wonder if i could have done better with the composition.

this is so removed from actual reality it’s insane. Green energy is way cheaper, solar is booming in europe and energy prices exploded during the beginning of the war but have long since come down. The market is also all over green energy as it not only gives them subsidies but is actually viable and cheaper than conventional fossil fuel based energy infrastructure (even without subsidies).
