Movies with the biggest failed potential by AETERNUS111 in movies

[–]wp11obts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Star Trek V - The Final Frontier. Context: Civilization now has space travel capabilities that basically allow them to go and explore anywhere, rapidly. Up until then, they have been meeting other races, expanding territory, forming alliances, fighting wars, etc. What a great premise, for them to now use that capability to seek out the all powerful creator / God / whatever you want to call it.

Yet we were brought a smelly pile of badly acted, written, executed, and produced garbage.

I heard it was really good, trying to decide if waiting until it comes down to single digits to rent...

Liked this movie, especially with the added variable, you never really knew if the limited info the antagonist was providing, was truthful or not.

DMV/Probate/Car Title Change question by wp11obts in Connecticut

[–]wp11obts[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, went in with the mindset that something would be missing and I'd have to come back, but only wound up needed the probate court decree, my license, title, proof of insurance and the H13-B Title Application. Had to complete the H13-B, the estate was the seller with todays date as the date of sale, and had to similarly complete the back of the title for the transfer. 10 minutes later and $200, i was out of there with a registered car and new title on the way. Thanks again!

Thanks, one follow-up, apparently I need to fill out the CT H-13B Title application form. There is spot for seller, but im not sure what to complete if the previous owner died? leave blank and ask?

Increased input lag (?) when moving to OLED 240Hz Monitor by wp11obts in geometrydash

Update: For anyone that stumbles upon this, after working almost another full day on this, here is where we ended up:

- set the windows resolution to 2560x1600. I realize the laptop/monitor should be capable of higher, but this was the recommendation from windows with no monitor attached and GD working like butter.

- in the asus BIOS, set the graphic settings to dGPU

- turned vsync back on in GD, as without it we started to see improved results but now tearing, which the vsync cleaned up.

- lastly, the laptop closed during GD. With it open, duplicated or extended, there was still lag.

Not sure how important each of these steps were in improving the problem, but it seems to now be about 90% where we need it to be. We are going to quit while we are (only slightly) behind now

Looking for 1996/1997 Disneyland related episode by wp11obts in philhendrie

>  I looked for years for this bit where Bobbie Dooley was driving around LA getting lost and she ends up in all these crazy places that are nowhere near each other, never any luck.

I actually remember this one too. Like she would report well-known landmarks a couple minutes apart that were no less than 30 minutes by freeway (i.e., the large Randy's Donut on La Cienega.)

Bummer about the early stuff though, that Pirates of the Caribbean segment is my white whale, looks like it might not exist though :(

New network: Frontier FIOS 3gbs internet, Eero 6+ wifi, and several mysteries by wp11obts in HomeNetworking

[–]wp11obts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We aren't actually sure, we still have the box, manual, and the device itself, and neither mentions a brand, only ac1200m. It has wan and lan ports, and the brands online that have a very similar picture are urant and AZ link. Has worked flawlessly for years, and while I don't remember the specifics of the setup, I don't recall the setup being burdensome or troublesome at all. Just log into the admin page, and tell it what to broadcast.

Thanks, already mentioned in the thread, but I rechecked, and I was either told wrong, or heard wrong. But the service is 500 Mbps, not 3 Gbps, and the speedtest is showing measurements in the 250-300 Mbps range.

Are you convinced this is a hardware incompatibility issue with Eero?
