Ios18 updates

For new device setups, is Apple forcing updates from 18 to 26/27, or can you bypass and disable automatic updates?

Sony Bravia 3 II Advise

Hey folks, thinking about getting this TV as it seems to be the best IPS with no local dimming TV available.

I'm currently torn between the 55 and 65 inch models though. The reason being, I think Glossy screens / reflections are part of the problem so the matte screen on the 65 is appealing, however my room is small, I'll only be about six feet away so the sheer volume of information the 65 inch is pumping into my brain might also be a problem.

Any thoughts? Do most people get the 55 inch? It wont be in direct sunlight and we have black out curtains so glare won't be too bad an issue. We also mainly watch at night anyway.

USB Recovery Creator - Communication with the Lenovo Support site has been interrupted. Ensure you have an active internet connection and try again.

Anyone got a magic solution to this error? Lenovo pos software for creating a recovery image just failing almost instantly. Tried two PC's. Sometimes it gets up to a couple of megs per second before failing, so it can establish a connection.

I can't just use Windows media creation tool as I'm restoring to factory to sell, and that would not install the Lenovo drivers. Lenovo support giving the usual bs about firewalls and av (not installed, just the windows defender, but I disabled anyway. No vpn.

Tried two pcs. Direct ethernet. Firewall exemption. Disabling defender. Manually launching as admin. Weirdly support recommended changing region format to US.

Anyone else managed to fix this, or even better got an image they cloned for Lego 2 z2e?

On Sky broadband in UK but I disabled their stupid broadband protection tool.

Posh seaside restaurants?

It’s my ladies birthday coming up and thinking dinner by the seaside might be a treat. We’d be driving from Ashford any suggestions?

Getting very fed up of this

This is the third Marvel book with this issue. The printers they are using must be filthy with crap just falling in and puncturing the pages. So far Avengers by Hickman Omni vol 2, Mile Morales
By Bendis Vol 2 and Avengers no Surrender / No Road Home Omni.

If one person is having such luck it must mean that literally hundreds of books are shipping like this. Unbelievable.

Seems to be from their printer in Turkey that the problem is coming from. So before anyone piles on saying their books are fine no issue. I’m guessing if you’re in North America you’re not getting them from there. Anyone got a contact I can reach out to to get through to Marvel on this?

S5M arrived but…

I’m not the only one either, so seems like they’re having some problems with quality control. Doesn’t look like that part comes off so might be a full month round trip if they want me to return it before sending a replacement. Other than that, it’s pretty gorgeous. Really nice materials. I can’t wait to transfer my parts from my Nr200P v1

MoS vol 1 - 4 are all over eBay now

I think people are betting on an omnibus soon, probably a fair bet. Crazy after them being gold dust for so long. I won’t even say what I paid for vol 4 for!

Superman read through (Second time)

So a few years back I did a reading through of every collected Superman I could get my hands on (Skipping over New52)

Just about to start again with so many new omnis filling the gap. But boy...adding it up is costly. Idea is to get roughly one Omni a month staying ahead of the current book I'm reading.

Will start in in June which should lead reasonably well into that legend, the gap filler Braniac reborn Which I super (No pun intended) excited about !

*I may skip New Krypton as we won't see vol 2, let alone 3 any time soon. Its also very out of canon these days, so will read it as one when all three volumes are available.

**One problem may be OWAW vol 2 which won't arrive till november. Will have to judge how quickly I'm reading through.

This will be my time to jump finally. Windows 11 has been pissing me off, but the lack of 4K 120 for my rig has been the last hurdle. This would be awesome!

u/hobx — 6 months ago

Going to be mounting my TV on the wall shortly, and there are no decent places to put my RIG once the tv stand is gone.

I don’t see any decent ootb solutions for getting a hdmi 2.1 signal to another room on the house without stringing a an hdmi cable. Any thoughts?
