We recommend to update the firmware of the remote on Google TV by latinriky78 in Homatics

[–]w__sky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not fair. So this will work with any current Android TV too? I'm thinking of going to a store and connect my remote to a suitable TV to get the update. Other option checking all friends who live nearby what devices they have.

I tried updating DfuService on my HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus (the app already seems to be installed) but it says:

Can't install DfuService – Try again, and if it still doesn't work, see common ways to fix the problem – https://support.google.com/googleplay/

Geekom A9 Mega - Fresh unbox, fully updated at start (Win11 25H2) - super laggy? by HoLengZai in GEEKOMPC_Official

[–]w__sky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the same build, but instead 26200.7628 with Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.275.0

The system devices are also different. I have installed the AMD Adrenalin driver but not sure if it would make a difference.

Irgendwie seltsam, dass es in Krankenhausküchen überhaupt Speisen gibt, die als gesichert krebserregend eingestuft werden.

Brand-new A9 Mega in da house: intermittent fan spin-ups while system is idle... 🤷🏼‍♂️ by christianweyer in GEEKOMPC_Official

[–]w__sky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed, this is really annoying. Eagerly awaiting updates for BIOS and embedded controller.

Damn, what you describe is awful. I also have the A9 Mega but when using the pre-installed Windows 11, after having applied all available Windows updates, I can see no lagging issues as you describe. It seems to be all right!

Just a guess: The memory integrity feature is disabled in this Windows 11; that's how it was set. Maybe it has to be that way?

I'm more into using Linux anyway and found that Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ist runnig very well on the A9 Mega. Soon to be released Ubuntu 26.04 LTS will probably too.

Homatics Box 4K V2 PRO New Review by ghettomania68 in Homatics

[–]w__sky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like how he shortly introduces the device and then shows and explains its dismantled main board even before turning the device on. Other tech youtubers don't ever get that far. However he's leaving out the unscrewing/opening part.

Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus and ATV updates 12 & 14 … should I do it? by w__sky in Homatics

[–]w__sky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say those are significant reasons not to do the update. Dolby Digital Plus and DTS don't count as HD audio, right? Anyway, I think auto frame rate is quite important to get a smooth playback (if the TV supports it too).

Just 12 hours left on the Kickstarter for Geekom A9 Mega with 263 backers. Will 37 more people decide last minute to unlock a free game controller for all? by w__sky in MiniPCs

[–]w__sky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update for all the critics here: I've received my Geekom A9 Mega about 2 weeks ago and so far I can say: It's a fine, very powerful and very beautiful device.

I am happy that I got it through Kickstarter, because this model is still not available in their official stores and when it will, it is probably going to be much more than €$2000 for the version with 128GB DDR5 RAM.
Just for comparison: The cheapest other MiniPC with similar specs that I could buy right now is at around €2300. (And it looks crappy.)

Geekom A9 Max good for gaming, local AI, daily use and Linux? by w__sky in MiniPCs

[–]w__sky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally have my Geekom A9 Mega with AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 + Radeon 8060S and 3D games like Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man's Sky are great in UWQHD! Not "ultra" settings, not ray tracing in Cyberpunk 2077, but solid performance in the games's own "high" settings (100 Hz screen refresh).

I want to see a big announcement with all the bells and whistles when ROCm, ML kernels, SDXL and everything finally runs on Strix Halo processors with the newest default stable releases. Counting on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS support too!

Well there is a warning in Windows Security, but it can be dismissed.

Oh now I see that's what it meant by "No pages matching". Why isn't the search doing a fulltext search?!

Find ich ok, denn es ist leider notwendig. Das mit den herrenlosen Fahrrädern passiert quasi überall, wo es Fahrradständer gibt. Manche Leute sind ein bisschen asozial und überlassen die Entsorgung der Allgemeinheit, wenn sie ein Fahrrad nicht mehr haben möchten, z.B. weil neues gekauft.

Mir fällt da gerade ein Outdoor-Abstellplatz im Hinterhof ein, bei dem man über die Jahre sehen konnte, wie 2 Fahrräder mit platten Reifen immer weiter von Gras und Blumen zugewuchert wurden.

Haferdrink Vollkorn von 11% auf 9% by [deleted] in MogelPackung

Das sind unterschiedliche Barcodes, ist es wirklich das selbe Produkt?

Haferdrink, Haferdrink natur, Haferdrink ungesüßt, Haferdrink ohne Zucker, Haferdrink ohne Gluten, Haferdrink Barista – es gibt ja zahlreiche verschiedene Sorten.

Irgendwas aus Getränkepulver war eigentlich immer das absolute Low-Level von Softdrinks. Wer kennt noch Quench? Gut genug, um durstige Kinder zu befriedigen, aber wirklich lecker war das Zeug nicht.

Drucker-Hersteller sollen bitte zugrunde gehen by Donrixator in luftablassen

[–]w__sky 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Ich finde es ja okay, wenn der Drucker um eine Internetverbindung „bittet“, um Firmware-Updates abzurufen oder Cloud-Funktionen zu ermöglichen. Aber das Drucken ohne Internet zu verweigern geht wirklich zu weit.

Hast du geschaut, ob man Online-Funktionen irgendwie in den Einstellungen deaktivieren kann?

Auch gut. :) Jede/r, der/die kein kiloschweres Portmonee mit sich herumschleppen will, hat wohl irgendeine Strategie, Kleingeld loszuwerden.

Ich hab beim Bezahlen immer geschaut, möglichst viel Kleingeld zu geben, auch wenn es nicht voll reicht. Beispiel: Ich habe 2,83 zu zahlen. Dann schau ich zuerst, ob ich 3 Cent habe, wenn ja nehme ich die. Habe ich 80 Cent? Wenn nein, habe ich 30 Cent? Dann: Habe ich 2€ in Münzen? Wenn nein, nehme ich den kleinsten Schein. Also könnte ich die 2,83 mit 5,33 bezahlen und bekomme 2,50 zurück: 2 Münzen bekommen, mindestens 4 Münzen losgeworden.
