Audio was very quiet. Even pumped through my enormous stereo with source volume all the way up, still too quiet.
Changed settings on the ONN box to
“Never allow Surround Sound” (my stereo is only 2.1 anyway), and turned OFF dialogue enhancement, and all fixed. Just wanted to pass this along in case anybody else has this issue. All best!

Are there any remaining old guy bars in Scranton and the surrounding towns? Just a place to maybe have an affordable beer, watch a game, and nothing fancy. This old guy thanks you.

Anyone using this with an iPhone 17 and willing to post experience and a pic or two? Considering this as a purchase. Thank you!

Having breakfast at the Downtown Deli. It’s really nice, great coffee, and a menu that covers all the basics without being six pages long. Decent prices. Highly recommend. That’s all!

I’ve got those hot garbage, god-awful, shit-stinking, cadaver breath farts. I have a critical radius. Even I don’t want to be around me right now. I can only imagine how badly I’m going to destroy that porcelain in a short while.

Somebody is telling people that no matter what kind of a hard drive or what kind of RAM you have in whatever old computer, it’s worth more on its own than it is if you leave it in the computer. So now everybody is stripping those items out of these old computers, and trying to sell them all separately. It’s Ludicrous. DIMM sticks from 15 years ago are not worth anything unless you put them back in that 15 year-old machine along with that 500 gig hard drive you’re trying to schlep, and sell it as maybe a whole machine that somebody can use just for the web. This is just going to end up with more e-waste going to the landfills instead of machines that could still have a bit of a life being purchased at reasonable prices by people that don’t have a lot of money to spend. Not everything is a commodity just because the bigger, better things are commoditized by people who have more money than you’ll ever have. Not sour grapes here - I have more computers than I know what to do with, but when I sell them, I put a reasonable version of Mint or something else that’s easy to run on them and I sell them as whole computers that people can actually use I don’t strip them for parts like a 67 Chevy sitting up on blocks on my front lawn. No one is buying your parts pile or your skeletonized Asus machine from 2011.

Since updating to 7.16.2, my previously rock-solid eero network (three eeros) has become really flaky, with random “hangs” as evidenced by streaming television stopping, lasting between 5-45 seconds. The problem occurs on various televisions connected with various devices to various EEROS across my network.

Is it possible that the last update in some way hosed my eeros?

Hi Chimebells!

I used a Chime check ordered through my account to pay for a parking fine at the airport. Now I am getting nastygrams from the airport saying that I didn’t pay the fine. I know I did because the money was deducted from my account. What is the best way to get a copy of that negotiated check so I can prove to them that they did in fact get paid for that parking? Thank you.

Just got one. LOVE it. Why was I chosen? Is it a replacement for the green card? Or just a titanium debit card? Inquiring Chimera want to know!

I know I do. It jacks the bill by around $50 and we can’t eat it!

What is the deal with medical care in Scranton?

A hospital discharged me after 11 days treatment for an infection in my leg, transitioning me from IV to oral antibiotics. Only they never cultured my wound, and two days post discharge I couldn’t walk again. Turns out a culture revealed a pathogen that NONE of the antibiotics they used were effective against — and a simple culture would have revealed that fact. All they did was knock it back a little bit and not eradicate it. How did three separate infectious disease doctors, two hospitalists, an orthopedist, and countless nurses never think to perform a wound culture?

Take anything serious down to Allentown or Easton — or New York or Philly. You’re not going to get well here.

I caught a permanent ban in r/Roku for telling the truth about their shitty products. If you use that sub, you better censor yourself. If you start to tell the truth, they’ll just kick you out.

I have a neighbor they’re very nice. They don’t have a driveway that fits more than one car and they have two cars so they park the second car across the street from the exit to my driveway. It’s almost like they’re lining up their car across the street against my driveway‘s exit. I wanna say something to them, but I don’t wanna be a jerk about it. It just makes it really difficult for me to get my car out and my street is really busy because it’s a thoroughfare between Marywood and 81. What’s the best way to handle this? I’d appreciate some advice.

I’m two rpisodes in and u absolutely no trouble pretending it’s in London! I’m so delighted that i bought a TV licence - the tv feels better knowing I’m not facing a £1.000 fine if I were to be caught.

Thanks for reading. I hope you’ve all had a lovely day

I replaced a Roku Ultra (2023) with a new ONN 4K Plus (2025) and I’m very happy! This is my first experience with Google TV but so far it’s great. It has everything I had on the Ultra plus a few new (to me) channels AND I get the delightful feeling of flipping Roku the bird for selling out to Fox!

I am a very big fan of the chili cheese baked potato! They’re just delicious. Also a very affordable side item! Anybody else out there enjoy those lovely spuds? Let me hear from you, good folks!

After literal YEARS of frustration with Roku changing my Home Screen, unhiding things I’ve chosen to hide, and changing my display scheme and screensavers, I have finally cut that cord! I’ve ditched my 2023 Roku Ultra and replaced it with a 2026 ONN 4K + Pro. I couldn’t be happier. The display makes sense, it auto-detected everything, migrated my apps very easily, and aside from the standard gentle nudging you get to subscribe to new apps at inception, so far it hasn’t jammed anything down my throat. It just works extremely well.

I undertook this move because of the purchase of Roku by Fox, and the only way I have to express my unhappiness is to vote with my wallet. Fortunately it added some value by giving me some new features I didn’t have previously. That’s a big win in my book!

I have yet to find a feature available in the Ultra that is unavailable in the ONN box. I’ve searched, but can’t find anything!

I’m on Fairfield St off N.Washington. I say my place is in Green Ridge. My buddy says anything on the Throop side from Morel St over isn’t Green Ridge - it’s Fairfield Park. We have a case of Yuengling riding on this, so hopefully you long term residents can settle this one?
Thanks a bunch!

I’m on the News genre pack (~$41/month) and it’s honestly the closest I’ve come to what I’d really love - à la carte TV. I’m not paying outright to subsidize things I don’t watch, and the mix of channels I’m getting for the cost, feels only slightly too high.
