Random Rants

[Finn666]

OOooooooooooookay…

ordered a new TV on wednesday, received it yesterday, watched TV 1-1.5h today and now the fecker is already broken?
smelled a bit and now, when trying to turn it on, all i hear is some sort of "clicking" and nothing happens...the fuck

[tatmantall]

Try squeezing it.. See if you csn make some lemonade.
No seriously though, that's no good, sorry to hear that raf

[Chris]

At least it's still under warranty…

[Finn666]

gonna call those feckers first thing on monday morning…can't really believe this happened...that quick!

[Chris]

I've read that with LCD TVs, major failures usually occur either immediately or not at all (which is why extended warranties are a waste of money).  Looks like you got the crappier of the two possibilities.

[mclaincausey]

I think that makes sense based in my experience.

Rafa,

Is it a Peugeot

mine is/was a LED though…not sure if they act the same but i have a 2 year warranty on it so all should be ok!
i'm thinking about buying something better/bigger now though...50" are good, but (as you'mericans say) "the bigger the better" right

I would have gone with a Sharp Aquos. They are the only manufacturer that doesn't outsource it's parts are manufactured and assembled in the state of the art, highly efficient Kameyama Plant. I have owned many LCD and now LED's from SHARP and they have never let me down.

[Chris]

It's still an LCD screen- LED is the type of backlight it uses.  Older LCDs used fluorescent lights, but LEDs are thinner and are now standard.

Just get a plasma TV from Panasonic and never have to worry about all those complicated acronyms.

[Seul]

Yeah and waste tons and tons of energy… Why don't you buy a Hummer whilst at it, Rafa...

[joesaintjohn]

I totally agree with D666's statement. I was always a samsung guy, and my college buddy that's the General Manager talked me into a less expensive Sharp that is an incredible TV. it's 70 inches of pure bliss. If you're gonna be a bear, be a grizzly.

Migraine is arriving…....ugh

[Seul]

I swear to fucking Abba if I see the sun today, I will go on a random killing spree.

Thank fuck for these brilliant weather forecasts!.. Finally gonna be my kinda weather: MISERABLE…

[seawolf]

Gav, is there anything you can take for your migraine? Mrs. Wolf takes Imitrex with a lot of success.

[Megatron1505]

I took some Aleve as my migraines are more than likely autoimmune related (long story, awaiting diagnosis). The pain has gone but left behind a weird vision thing in my left eye.

[seawolf]

Ugh.  That's annoying. Glad you're able to treat the pain though. Migraines suck.

By mistake, I allowed tapatalk to "upgrade" today.  Holy crap, the new version is awful.  I need to do some research and see if I can go back to the older, non-shitty version.

[seanocono]

^It's the worst. Please share if you find anything.

[Chris]

Uninstall the craptacular new version, then go here to download the classic version.  You'll have to change your default Android settings to allow non-Play Store programs to install, but the whole process only took about 5 minutes for me.  Totally worth it.
