The 'What are you watching' Thread
It is a pysop. They even make talk about it in an episode. When the one character makes a TV show about the stargate and they say it is a good thing because then they can just point to that as fiction if people start asking about the actual truth. So while going to the moon is something, it is... -

Rants etc.....
Stupid pricing of everything just annoys the hell outta me. Got two drives having issues in my server and thought hey maybe I'll just shuck another one like I did back in Nov. Look at the price and like is anything not almost or more than double in price anymore? 22tb for $320 in Nov, now... -
SofaBaton X2 - Harmony remote replacement?
Well finally had a chance to attempt reprogramming my Harmony. And well soundbar it can do, or at least good enough, but the tv is a no go. It doesn't have it in the database and even picking one that is close didn't work. It also doesn't help training it as that just doesn't work for the tv. So...- ipaine

SofaBaton X2 - Harmony remote replacement?
I was wrong the 880 was the one I used to have. Current one is the Harmony One. Still will need to replace it with something that can do what I want.- ipaine

SofaBaton X2 - Harmony remote replacement?
No hub, one of the earlier models. I think it is the 880. I'll have to check when I get back downstairs to look. I know it was not cheap back then, but it was not as pricey as these ones.- ipaine

SofaBaton X2 - Harmony remote replacement?
Ok so with my new tv and soundbar I have a remote for each. Then I have the remote for the telus box and then I have my old harmony that is currently only working for my HTPC. So since Harmony is basically dead and even though I do have the software, it will not work great for what I want to be...- ipaine

Digital Foundry: DLSS5 First Look
I am seeing so many "AI slop" videos. It drives me crazy since so many are just anti-AI and sit there and try to tell me that Grace from RE looks worse or that Starfield doesn't look way way better with it. The differences are huge and frankly they all look better, at least if you are going...- ipaine

New TV time
Nope, I mean it might just need a fuse that is possible. I really should open it up and see, but then again I have gotten wife approval for new stuff, so don't think I want to fix the old stuff. But as it is there is no juice, just zero sign of life in it when plugging in. Was at Visions, just...- ipaine

New TV time
Well I would not say this is "virtual surround", the rear speakers each have 3 separate drivers, up, front and side firing, it has a dual 8" sub, and the soundbar part at the front has 6 drivers facing forward and then 4 facing out to the sides on an angle and then 2 more facing up. So no this...- ipaine

New TV time
It is not a huge area and well looking for something much more streamlined than before. Plus the current stereo receiver died during the move so I have to get something. And I do agree that cheap soundbars aren't all that great. But the one I am looking at is consistently rated as the best (or...- ipaine
