Do I NEED a car ?

been living in Toronto DT for the past few years, never owned a car and never felt like I NEEDED one. even with kids. everything was walking distance and if not, it'd be a streetcar/subway ride away.

I'll be moving to London soon. I might not have a car for the first few months. is it doable ? is public transportation reliable in London ? is it accessible ? I'll be doing daycare/school drop-offs with stroller/wagon.
or should I long-term rent until I get a car ?

Moonlight shortcut icon aspect ratio

Moonlight, a gaming streaming app has an option to add shortcuts to the launcher that opens the intended game directly without going through the main app interface first

The thing is, the shortcut icon is in a weird aspect ratio. Is there any way to change it to 16:9 aspect ratio to match all the other apps I have in favorites row ?

I’ve already changed mobile apps to be 16:9 from settings
I also tried to change the icon of the shortcut to a wide 16:9 icon but it just crops it to maintain the current aspect ratio

moonlight is unable to start ES-DE on my macOS hosted sunhine

I'm totally new to this
I just installed sunshine on my macos mac mini server
I added emulation station desktop edition as an application on sunshine
"/Applications/ES-DE.app" this was set as the output

I installed moonlight client and whnever i click on ES-DE it opens to my desktop and not ES-DE ??!!

I've tried asking chatgpt and it gave me various commands to add but none work.
I mean once im in my desktop i can simply run ES-DE from the dock and start playing but it's kinda bugging me that it's not starting straight to ES-DE

issue with Plezy, Plex featured cards on fire stick 4k max

awesome launcher seems very promising.
I installed it just now to give it a shot and I like it. However I noticed that it's not playing nicely with both Plex and Plezy " a plex client" apps. when on the top row, the featured "watch next" cards fail to load the episode/movie thumbnails for some reason. and only shows up as a black rectangle with the movie/episode title.

I'm seeing alot of setup here on this reddit where Plex watch next seems to be working just fine so i'm wondering if this has anything to do with the fact that im running the app on a fire stick 4k max !?
that being said, projectivy seems to be working fine and is able to pull watch next info fully from Plezy with no problems.

on a side note. can the featured cards size be changed to poster size 2:3 instead of the current square size 1:1 " or is it 16:9 im not sure"

[Help] iPhone stuck on restart loop after battery replacement

I changed my iPhone 8 battery and it worked fine for the first 24 hours. After the battery went all the way down to 0% I plugged it in to charge but now the phone is stuck in restart loop and the battery is stuck on 1%

I re opened the phone and made sure every thing is connected tight and no loose parts or anything but it didn’t help.

The reviews for the battery in Amazon seems fair, I don’t know if it’s an issue with the battery itself !

Multi view vod and live channel

Is it possible to have multi view showing a live “sports channel for example” and an episode of a show ? Both from the same M3u list.
Been toying around and can’t seem to get it to work. If not possible it’d be nice to have.

Change primary registrant during initial order

Hi
So I just placed an order under my account and name but the thing is I want my spouse to be the primary registrant not me.
Is there anything I can do to fix this on my end or do I have to get Tesla rep involved at this point ?

Change function of remote page up/down buttons

Can you please add these buttons to the list of configurable buttons under remote control options.
I think they’re called page up and page down -or at lease that’s what they’re called in Tivimate settings-

Thank you again for this amazing app
And thank you for providing an option to buy it outside the Google ecosystem.

smart tube channels not showing up on fire stick 4k max

Is anyone else having this issue?

I'm currently using the latest beta version of SmartTube and the latest official release of Projectivy Launcher on a Fire Stick 4k max.
For some reason, SmartTube isn't showing up as an option at all when I go under "Edit Channels."

(Note: Please don't reply with "get an Onn box" or "throw away the Fire Stick" unless you're buying me one)

Fire TV 4K Max takes 50 minutes to actually turn off my TV. can it be fixed ?

I recently switched from Apple TV to a Fire TV Stick 4K Max, and I’m struggling to replicate my old idle setup.

On my Apple TV, I had my family pictures set as a screensaver starting after 5 minutes of idling, and then the Apple TV would turn the TV off completely after another 15 minutes of screensaver.

On the Fire TV 4K Max, the "Ambient Experience" screensaver can only be set to start after a minimum of 15 minutes of idling (which is a PITA, but I can live with it). However, there is no setting to control when the device send the tv to sleep.
Right now, it seems hardcoded that only the Fire TV will turns off after 20 minutes of screensaver. When it does that, it triggers my TV’s built-in idle screen, which takes another 15 minutes to turn off the TV completely.

So my current timeline looks like this:

  • Home Screen (15 mins) ➔ Screensaver (20 mins) ➔ TV Idle Screen (15 mins) ➔ TV Finally Turns Off

I want to know if there is any way I can make it this way:

  • Home Screen (5 mins) ➔ Screensaver (15 mins) ➔ TV Turns Off

Appreciate any insight from anyone who has successfully bypassed this!

Watch next not working with official Plex app

Hi
I just installed this launcher on my fire stick 4k max and for some reason watch next widget on the home screen doesn’t work with Plex official app.
Is this known limitation or am I missing something?
It seems to be working just fine with “Plezy” a non-official plex client but I’m no longer using it so I’d rather have the widget be connected to the official plex app

How to add FunPix season pass to Apple wallet

So we went to Canada’s Wonderland today, and after one of the rides I got talked into buying the seasonal FunPix photo pass. The employee gave me a small card with a QR code on it and said I could add it to Apple Wallet later through the website.

I just checked myfunpix.com, and there’s no option anywhere to add it to Apple Wallet. This card is definitely getting lost before our next visit, so I’m hoping I’m missing something

has anyone been able to add theirs?

didn't get the new UI on firestick max 4k ?

I finally upgraded from a 1st Gen FireStick (2017) that was stuck on an older version of fireos, and was really looking forward to the refreshed interface. However, after setting it up, it looks exactly the same as my ancient one.

Am I missing a setting somewhere ?
