What this means:

The Obvious - If you don't have a winning record, you are not counted as winning the division (henceforth just called division leader)

What that causes:

You don't get an automatic bid into the playoffs. You can still qualify, but as one of the (now) 4 best non division winners (vs 3 best) (and if 2 divisions don't have winning record leaders, it becomes 5 best).

Why I like this:

it can put pressure on teams (say a team is leading their division by 4 games with 3 to go, but they have a 79/80 record), to ensure the automatic bid.

it doesn't allow "division leaders" with losing records to sneak into the playoffs when there are other teams in stronger divisions with bett

So if I pause what's playing on my nvidia shield (be it youtube, plex or some other app), I expect the device to obey by screensaver settings (i.e. in my case blank screen after 5 minutes).

This occurs with the youtube app, but doesn't occur with plex.

has anyone else experienced this? any workaround?

I took an r710 out of storage to see if I can get it into a state that a student might take it, and when testing it, it gets stuck on the bios screen (the graphical one, not the text only one) with the white bar at or just after the S in BIOS (i.e. after I see the configuring RAM screen).

I can connect and play around with the idrac so its initialized. But I can't figure out why its stuck at boot.

any ideas?

I have 2 old HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 machines that I hadn't used for a while (powered down, but kept iLo active). I recently logged into them to power them up as needed some extra compute/memory and iLo told me that their health was degraded with the explicit message of

Controller firmware revision 2.10.00 NAND read failure: Media is in a WRITE-PROTECTED state

it seems to give me the option to "Format the embedded Flash and reset iLO"

but I don know if this is the right decision (i.e. will I lose my licenses (and possibly not have the ability to return them if format fails)....

AI chats tell me that this is not abnormal for these machines and there might be little to do, but figure I'd

Anyone else have an issue that they can't import their Empower managed 401k into the personal dashboard migrated over from Personal Capital?

I "can" add all the accounts to the dashboard that is provided with in the Bloomberg 401k environment (and the app also works), but this would lose me all my history which I value.

Does this make sense?

I had my dishwasher on a tuya smart socket for a very long time and the socket from a connectivity and "functionality" perspective continued to work without issue (i.e. could control it). However my dishwasher started to behave funny, such that it would power itself off (as if going into a safe mode) whenever it tried to heat up water (large power draw, but within limits of the socket) (this is after years of it working without a problem). Per the switch it was still active and powered on. But the dishwasher just was having issues. Plugged it directly into wall and it went away.

It confuses me a bit as I'd think the power delivery part of it would simply be a stup

I there anyway to get odialer working on an up-to-date global 15r and enable automatic call recording. A feature I miss from my 7t (with adb hack help). When I try to sideload it, I get play store errors complaining.

Is there a way to get a chumby like experience on the immortal portal?

What I mean is a way to subscribe to news feeds, sports scores and the like, that can rotate through the always on display (i.e. like the screensaver would be for a picture frame) without any user intervention.

I have the G5 77" being delivered tomorrow by RXO (LG Partner Store Purchase). I'm purchasing it to transport overseas (my parents are moving and shipping things via a container). I understand that we most likely won't get support from LG USA overseas, but that's ok (at the price, we're being self insuring it as it be double the price where they are moving). But I'd like to test it without totally taking it apart and moving it. With that said, shipping it in the manner it was shipped to the USA (i.e. unopened box) is probably the safest, but takes the risk of there being a defect.

anyone have any advice on how to minimally unpack it so it can be tested, so it can then be repacked in

Because LG ships TVs and accessories differently, they delivered the stand via UPS, but didn't end up delivering the TV (long story). I got refunded for the TV, but now I have the base. Willing to part with it for cheap for those that want one and didn't manage to get the stand for free. (new in box, never opened).

Figure it might be a long shot, but who knows, maybe someone is interested. Might be willing to ship as well, but that's more risky for both of us (and more expensive as its a surprisingly large box, but I guess that makes sense, needs to be a studry stand to support the TV just in the middle).

Anyone have a thought on this. It's a $300 savings over the non open box B5 (which is also a good price). I'm buying the 77" G5 from partner store, but wondering if I should grab this display mode as well.

So my parents recently got the x40 for their new apartment with tiled floors and while they are happy with the robot for mopping and general vacuuming it doesn't seem to do as good a job as my old roborock s5 max on my own parquet floors in picking up crumbs and the like. (I. E. I'll regularly see it roll over some crumbs and they remain there or pushed around a bit, and this is at max suction, while I rarely saw on my s5 max, albeit on parquet flooring in my apt, so not apples to apples).

One thing I noticed is that the x40 seems to just come with a rubber roller, while my roborock has a roller with brushes on it. I'm wondering if that's makes a difference / could help? I've noticed tha

I'm wondering if the people who read this, so they wish instead of the made up footnotes, they actually included real footnotes to the media that they are referencing.

I think it would have been much more valuable and interesting, especially for someone who isn't aware of all star wars media and wonders about incidents mentioned about where exactly to find them.

Can even have the fake footnotes with real references inside of them.
