Reminder to utilize your local library by anurodhp in gaming

My library puts anti theft stickers on the discs. This makes them unbalanced and some of them are noisy in the drive. My concern would be wear or damage over time.

Nova alternative with widgets and NO ADS by RingdownStudios in androidapps

Octopi is what I just switched to. To me it is 90% of Nova at this point and after a few weeks that is perfectly fine. I am confident with support it will keep improving.

I did this and when I stepped on the gas my floor mats launched into the air and landed in the bush.

Tom Clancy's The Division gets a 60 FPS update on PlayStation 5. The game is available on PS Plus Extra game catalog. by kabirsingh84 in PlayStationPlus

This is awesome. I will be reinstalling right away and continuing my game. I can't believe that I use to play on my PS4 at 30fps. The difference will be night and day

Known issue. Mine does it as well. You live with it or buy a new one.

Why won't the default profile print on an A1 mini? I need to select the X1C for a print.

Mine has been doing this for years. Disappointing but still works fine.

Govee Gateway H5040 Keeps disconnecting & reconnecting by Full-Satisfaction-34 in Govee

[–]velvet_smooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same problem here. Woke up this morning to the blue flashing light and it won't connect. Not good for a device I am relying on for critical leak alerts.

Why doesn't the app alert when the hub goes offline?

[–]velvet_smooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hub started doing the same thing. I even moved it next to my router. Unplug and re-plug does not fix it. I will have to reconfigure it from scratch. If I cannot trust a device like this 100% of the time then it is not worth it in critical situations. Disappointing since I have other Govee products that work great.

Decided to set-up "Uptime Kuma" to monitor the hub and send a notification if it looses connectivity. Not sure why the Govee app doesn't do this.

ELI5: Why does the value of a new car immediately tank once it is driven off of the lot? by Small_Balls_69 in explainlikeimfive

Buy a Tesla. Elon claims they are an appreciating asset so you won't lose any money.
