Comcast has Steam server(s) colocated within their network in my immediate area. I’ve observed that less popular downloads tend to connect to external servers in the next state over.
I agree it should be the default, but this TV was readily placed into dumb mode at first powerup. Set your country & language, select dumb mode ("Basic TV"), skip WiFi and most would be satisfied with the result. Some…
Through what means? It’s not on the internet, nor was a connection required for setup.
I bought a Sony OLED a couple years ago. I was able to set it up in “dumb” mode and all the default apps could be manually removed. It acts like a monitor and shows nothing but our Apple TV at powerup. The home screen’s…
Apple’s Wallet app presents this feature as being for “age and identity verification in apps, online and in person”.
I upstreamed a 1-line fix, plus tests, at my previous company. I had to go through a multi-month process of red tape and legal reviews to make it happen. That was a discouraging experience to say the least.
I drove a Genesis G80E for a week and I understand where you're coming from. The regen was a bit awkward and I had the same issues. The Mercedes EQE 350 I rented recently did better there. Tesla has their regen dialed…
I’ve not had that experience. To the contrary, it’s so much more convenient than ICE for our family. Our EV always has a full “tank” every morning. What’s the problem you’ve been having with yours?
Also not an electrician. A concern for high current outlets in the US, such as NEMA 14-50, is that they weren't necessarily designed for a large number of plug/unplug cycles. Typically you'd plug your stove in and leave…
Would someone be expected to sell their home because the builder did something unsavory? Where do we draw the line?
It's not reasonable to expect someone to sell their primary mode of transportation, likely at a loss, for reasons out of their control.
I won’t be. The majority of accounts I follow have already migrated away or at least mirror their posts on other platforms. There’s nothing I need from X anymore.
I did the same with a Sony A80L, which also runs Google TV. I even uninstalled the bundled streaming apps for good measure, although I never see the home screen. It behaves like a monitor. I never see the TV UI unless I…
I’ve been happy with Just at our workplace. It lets me focus more on the task at hand instead of Conan / Cmake incantations. It’s consistent, easy to use and maintain, and keeps all relevant operations in one place.
It also lacks active thermal management. That's more or less a requirement for long battery life.
I have the Cingular version and had forgotten this detail. Sure enough, you’re right- it has a 2.5mm jack on it. How unusual.
These aren’t the same as the Ultra Definition series they mentioned, unfortunately. They lack the dim to warm feature that makes those desirable. RAB is the only manufacturer I’m aware of that makes 3000k dim to warm…
If only they were available in 3000k. I made an exception for the specific fixture the IKEA bulb ended up in, but our entire home is 3000k throughout.
The old bulb was a Cree, rated at 460 lm, 3000k, 90+ CRI. It used 5.5W. The IKEA bulb’s rated at 450 lm, 2700k, 90+ CRI. It uses 2.8W. Both are dimmable and I suspect the IKEA bulb has a higher R9 value.
My initial reply was a bit rough around the edges. I've since edited it for clarity.
Adding more LEDs to the design allows them to be underdriven, increasing efficiency and longevity. The driver board and LEDs run cooler that way. Less heat equals less stress on electrolytic capacitors, a common failure…
I can barely read my own handwriting. I just don’t have the fine motor coordination for it. In the context of learning per the article, typed notes are more useful to me as I get more out of them.
AT&T sold me a defective new phone once. They replaced it with a refurb, and marked it in their system that I had purchased it that way. They could not be convinced that I should have a 1-year new phone warranty instead…
Wow, that’s even better than my old PNY GTX 465. It was really a 470 that was cut down by the VBIOS. I was able to download 256MB of VRAM, a wider memory bus and some GPU cores on that one.
If our family ever needed a second car, about 70 miles of real-world range would be more than plenty. We already have a long range EV for road trips.
