I could use some help if anyone might be able too. I use the Google tv Chromecast running android tv 14.

So I went on vacation two weeks ago and when I returned something strange was changed. I have my system set up to turn off 20mins after inactivity. Before I went away this worked fine, never had any problems. After I returned when I'm watching a movie or YouTube video, after about a minute of the video being paused the screen turns on the ambient screensaver and after another minute the Chromecast turns off. This has never happened before, whenever I had a video paused it would just stay on the screen and dim a little bit. I can't even get up to use the bathroom anymore without the thing turning off, it only happens when watching a video also, when it's just sitting there on the menu it still takes 20mins to turn off. I can't adjust the timer for the ambient mode at all, there's no option for it in the settings and the auto shutoff option is still set to 20mins. I'm genuinely confused here, if anyone has any ideas It would be greatly appreciated. I'd love it to go back to not triggering the ambient mode at all when paused on a video.

I've gone through every setting in the device, each app, etc. googled for the past 2 days and am throwing in the towel to ask for help. Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Note: I use Kodi also and for whatever reason that's the only app it doesn't do this with, I assume it's because it has its own built in screensaver that overwrites the system one.

So I just made a post in another thread and it made me want to share my experience because I genuinely think legion does not get the love it deserves.

There's one aspect of legion that makes the game so insanely immersive that it was next generational and I would love for more people to know what it feels like to use it properly, Deep Profiler.

Like any good masochist, I played on permadeath. I obviously had my favorites out of the bunch, one specifically being Aiden of course. But one of my first and best recruits was an Albion officer, her name was Marie. She had the ability of stealth and carried a stick like Aiden for bashing people, good fun when paired with the stealth tech. It basically lets you chain them together so you're virtually undetectable if you know how to time things right. You can stalk through entire buildings of people without ever getting caught. Honestly you can get some clips that look straight out of action movies. I used her for essentially the entire game, I beat the story mode with her and nearly finished all the side quests as well. I also got boned hard by the game and it caused her death. I was clearing out an Albion post and for whatever reason the game disagreed with how she wanted to crouch behind a crate and some prick came up and shot her dead while she should have been in cover. Furious doesn't even begin to come close with the rollercoaster of emotions that I went through. Immediately force closed the game and tried to pretend it didn't happen, but it did.

What would any sane person do in such a situation? Revenge? Forgiveness? How about total obliteration of a lineage and relationship circle?

First thing I did was run back there and do a deep profile on the guy. I learned his schedule, his family members, his friends. The following week was filled with... creative accidents. I killed every single person that came within 10 feet of him or his family, and I would guess about 20 NPCs total that came from his profile and the deep profiles I ran on the people that showed up in his. I killed every single person. I made him know what he did was the worst decision of his life. I finally got what I wanted and there was only one thing left, taking him out also. I went back to his post, found him by the ledge near the water, pushed him into the water and then drove the car on top of him while he was still alive. I drowned him after killing his family, friends, and everyone in-between. He died cold, alone, gasping for air in a world where no one even knew his name, except for one person. Me.

Rot in hell Richard.

Words we use matter, they set the tone for the entire argument you make when discussing things. I propose we officially come up with new terms that we use on a daily basis in every single aspect that the topic comes up in, maybe with a small enough push we can roll the ball down the hill.

They're not AI data centers, they're water evaporation plants Human surveillance centers.

It's not side loading, it's installing.

It's not jailbreaking, it's unlocking.

It's not a memory shortage, it's profit first selective sales(I know there's physically a shortage but the point remains). (Also, someone come up with a better one, something more catchy.)

It's not This PC, its MY PC.

They call it side loading because they don't want to normalize the idea we're just holding personal computers in our hands.

They call it jailbreaking so that it sounds wrong and it deters people from using a device to it's full potential.

They call it a memory shortage because they're selling all the fucking ram to ai companies, if they were forced to allocate the necessary amount of their products to the average consumer we wouldn't have an issue.

Give me some of your best ideas for changing the names of things, I want to expand my vocabulary. Let's change how we discuss the issues we face and take back control of the argument.

Edit: Edited water thingy because someone pointed out I sound like "that guy" and I certainly do not want too.

Just found out I'm apparently weird for doing this, I was eating lunch at work and my coworker asked me if I needed the microwave for my macaroni and cheese and I informed them though I was okay and that I eat it cold. I had never gotten such disgusting looks in my entire life.

It's the superior way to eat it, you get a fork and knife and eat it like a steak.

Edit: to clarify something I think people are confused about, I make macaroni and cheese specifically to put in the fridge and then eat, I'm not talking exclusively of leftovers

Been using nixtoons for.. well years, so I'm unfamiliar with alternatives for watching movies of shows. If anyone can point my in the right direction for an alternative or workaround for the premium issue it'd be greatly appreciated. Google isn't helping me and I'm usually pretty good at finding stuff on my own.

I work at a house overnight and frequently order food when I forget to pack stuff or don't have the time to pre make something. I put meet at door because I've had issues with people leaving it in the past, either in front of the screen or in the middle of the driveway, oddly enough I don't have this issue at home but whatever not the point. The driveway here is long, I mean very long, probably about 10-12 car lengths. There's a circle at the end of the driveway to turn around so you don't have to back out and it's actually constructed pretty intelligently. Now the big thing to note here is the road this house is on has no sidewalks or wiggly room to park, I mean it's two lanes very thin and worst part it's right before a giant incline so it's pretty unsafe to park. I ALWAYS leave in the notes to drive down the driveway and I will meet at the door, most of the time I'm standing there waiting to meet them waving my hand. Now occasionally some people will pull in and walk down the entire driveway, while that's annoying for both of us it's whatever really, I hate it but that's not a big deal, I'd have to say maybe 3 or 4 out of every 10 deliveries I get the person parks on the road and stands at the end of the driveway and messages they're here and just stands there. I don't understand at all. I've driven for Uber myself on and off and I cannot fathom how people ignore the delivery notes. I'm not walking down to a dangerous spot to meet you because you decided to either not read what I wrote or because you missed the sign at the end that says enter. Someone just got in an accident in front of the house a few weeks ago because they came flying up the hill and weren't looking while someone was turning in and they drove straight into the tree in front.

Okay that's my vent, sorry, I needed to rant a bit this happens more than it should lol.
