Looking for a mic to use for discord while I play games on my tv

I play PC games on my tv with friends. I'm looking for a microphone to use either with my phone or PC connected to my tv that will do the best at rejecting the sound from my tv speakers. I play on my couch though so I don't have a desk to clamp a nice mic onto. Kinda tough scenerio since I don't have a headset and use speakers, and don't have anywhere to clamp a nice desktop mic to. Not sure if there is a good solution out there.

LG WebOS TV Integration, TV Unavailable

I have an LG C5 and I'm trying to use the LG WebOS TV integration to change inputs. However, very often the integration shows my tv as unavailable, despite the tv being on(I turn it on via IR though). Anyone know why this is and have a fix for it?

Recommended settings for my setup

Hi, I'm a lazy boy who doesn't want to continuously test things or go through a bunch of guides for difficult setups than my own. I am wondering what the best settings are for my setup, prioritizing latency but also visual fidelity. I use Apollo on my tablet(Galaxy tab s10 ultra) to stream from my PC(7800 x3d, 4070 to). I play mostly single player games so latency isn't a huge deal, but would like it manageable. I'm just wondering what settings I should use for video resolution, my tablet has a non standard resolution so would it be better to use that native resolution or stick to 1440p(the closest standard resolution)? Can I just crank video bit rate all the way up? I'm the only one on my network and have pretty good internet(tablet connected via 6 GHz). What to choose for frame pacing? Should I check "Enforce Display Mode"? What about "Unlock all possible frame rates"? Or "Force full range video"? Should I specify the code or leave it on auto? Thanks. :3

Need help determining why part of my automation isn't working

I have an automation to, among other things, turn on my TV and change input. I turn on the TV using a switchbot hub IR command, which works fine. I have an LG C5 so I use LG WebOS integration to change inputs. But it never changes inputs properly. It just gets stuck on the main dashboard, but if I go into my automation and manually run the command to switch inputs after it fails, it works. Can anyone help me figure out why it isn't working? I'm not really sure how to navigate the logs so idk which entry it is. Any help is appreciated!

Is this normal for an interview?

I have an interview coming up and they gave me a heads up that I'll be working on these problems. It's a 3 hour long interview for a basically entry level job.

I hate applying for jobs

I've been unemployed for a little under a year now and I've had such terrible experiences applying for jobs. 90% of companies ghost me, positions just being closed or canceled, 3 hour long interviews, interviews that make me just do the job, rejections after being perfect for a position and everything going well. What does it take man? Applying feels so useless.

Multiple hour interviews being more common now?

Ive had several interviews where they want me to come to their facility and spend 3 hours just interviewing. Always involving pretty difficult technical questions and scenarios asking me to basically do the job I'm applying for. Also like 5 rounds of interviews? At this point it's so exhausting and I feel like I'm getting nowhere. I end up spending a month talking to a company just to get rejected at the end of it, even if things go well at every stage. Applying for jobs is so horrible right now.

GPS for geotags?

I want my photos on my R6 mkiii to be geotagged so I can view them by location. I am aware that I can use my phone as a gps but then I have to have the app open and it just seems tedious. I also read that canon sells, or at least used to sell a gps receiver. My question is, is it worth getting the canon gps receiver off eBay or something for gps tagging? Does it connect just via the digital hotshoe? Or is there a better option that can be attached without a cable to the digital hotshoe and give gps data?

Gonna take some photos of a white Porsche 718 cayman and am looking for some good locations to compliment it. Car is in Brea but probably can drive a bit. Anyone know any good locations? I was thinking of having some photos at least in a parking garage, some desert-y looking location, and one on the coast. Any recommendations for those or other locations are appreciated! Also for shots I want some daytime, some nighttime, one panning shot for motion, but mostly static photos of the owner in and around the car.

I live in the US and shipped something to someone in Canadia through USPS. Canadian Post picked it up but apparently my friend didn't give me the entire right address so in my USPS tracking it got marked as incorrect address and is being held at a Canadian Post office. Is there anyway for me to call Canadian Post or something to give them the correct address so they can deliver it? I think the additional is only missing the unit # for my friends address. I also don't know which post office it's at or I would ask my friend to pick it up. Any help is appreciated!

I had previously had around $300 for food every month and now after recertifying I only have $14. I do get unemployment income, but all of goes towards rent, insurance, utilities, medical bills, and paying off some previous loans. Is there any way to get an increase or am I just out of luck? I did report my rent and utilities when recertifying, but I guess it didn't count for anything.

EDIT: LA county
