it's nice that you can mostly turn it all off but it's a heck of a faff. just make a good panel and put it in a case.

a lot of pubs have 24 hour licenses but don't necessarily stay open for 24 hours. just do extended hours here and there.

overclockers.co.uk used to have an insane RMA policy so when i was looking to get "good RAM" that i could overvolt and overclock the tits out of they'd send me a packet, i'd inspect the chips, not see what i was looking for on the modules, then RMA it saying "huh, wrong product"

replaced the cpu cooler and it ran at high clock perfectly fine for 4 years. i still have it in a cupboard upstairs. computers are kinda simple in a way but you gotta kinda know how they work. you usually wont break them. except that one time i tried to put 5v through a pentium 4 and it just ble-

cpu fan died on one of my big overclock rigs once and i just had alerts on the screen like "your processor is over 100c". couldn't afford a new cpu cooler so just massively underclocked it and left it running passively with no fan on the cpu. that thing ran at 90c for like 4 weeks.

more computer stories. i once had a budget rig that i'd massively overclocked. cpu from 1.8ghz to 4ghz and the gpu screamed like a banshee... but you could only run it like that in the winter. ... if the computer was right beside the open window otherwise it'd straight up crash.

no problem. if you want some advice hit me up. it might make you feel better to know they're not *that* delicate. i once accidentally spilled a pint of water into my computer's top vent, yanked the power out immediately, and the whole thing was fine. just a whole pint of water on the gpu.

i thought it was a 38" but it's actually a 46" because normal people don't know that the diagonal measurement is how you size screens.

yeah, that's the one fix i can think of. disconnect the side buttons and use it remote only. .... but it's also too big and i don't want it.

i got stumped for 2 hours while building the big r2d2 lego and i'm a systems administrator with a lot of computer experience. sometimes we have skills we don't know we have or don't have. but i guess you gotta try every now and then.

if it is just an angry GPU reseating should sort you out. it's terrible when your shit is broke and you're like "aaaahhhhh maybe i'll just make it worse" but if you've got some pc builder experience a reseat is just a nice simple on and off thing. you can't make it worse.

also it's got a bunch of different modes. you can make it weaker, stronger, etc. that can be fun. also had some people over for drinks and stuck some music on and threw it into party mode where it listens to the music and changes the lights based on that. just a neat feature.

for all of the flaws in it i don't think i'd ever buy a non-ambilight tv for the living room again. it's just such a nice feature that i never knew i wanted.

i will say that it's really rare that it does that stuff though. like this year it's only done that maybe 3-4 times and it was easily fixed by just unplugging and replugging it. maybe it's an uptime thing since it doesn't "switch off" so the system maybe doesn't get a real reboot often enough.

i'm mainly just casting to it, hooking up hdmi, playing switch / ps4, and that's all fine. "normal" tv stuff works fine. apps are a little fucky, i'm not sure i blame philips for it. it's just running android. it's a bit shit when you're watching a movie on the netflix app and it just crashes.

what's kinda funny is when i got the one before this one i only got it because of reviews of the panel itself and its quality. then i switched it on and it shat light everywhere. confused the fuck out of me.

the ambilight system adds to immersion and can be nicer when you've got all the lights off because it also *massively* reduces eye strain. looking at a flat block of light in the dark is really bad for your eyes. you can get 3rd party setups that you install yourself.

you might be right there. the people at the tip take stuff that's slightly broken and fix it sometimes to sell. maybe i take it to the tip and tell them the fix rather than bothering the charity.

i don't want to just chuck it in the tip. the fix is easy... a different moral quandary from "am i stealing this tv from a person who is an idiot" to "should i fix this tv and give it to a charity centre"
