My family only has a single tv in the household, a 65" LG C2 where we sit about 2 meters away from. we have this setup for 5 years now and we're very happy with it (connected to SVS sub and KEF bookshelf). We felt like we've been missing a lot of not having a TV in the bedroom as we just mostly watch in our phones or ipad. Unfortunately we dont have any space for another tv in there as we are also using it as baby room so my wife suggested buying a projector instead.

Bough a Horizon 20 Pro for ~1700 eur and i feel underwhelmed for the value vs cost. I first projected it to the ceiling and watched a few youtube videos and immediately got dizzy doing that. So now im projecting it to the wall, picture is ~65". I still feel dizzy because of rainbow effect I think. Am I just missing a projector screen? Our bedroom wall is primer white.

I'm thinking of returning it. Will a UST change my opinion about projectors?

ran ~280 torrents against the RD API today to figure out whats going on with all the infringing_file errors. TL;DR: keyword matching on filenames, not actual copyright takedowns.

same episode, different filename, different result

same anime episode (Ghost Concert EP6, uploaded today on Nyaa):

• [SubsPlease] Ghost Concert - missing Songs - 06 (1080p) -> OK
• GHOST CONCERT missing Songs S01E06 1080p CR WEB-DL -> BLOCKED
• [Trix] Ghost Concert: Missing Songs S01E06 [WEBRip 1080p AV1 Opus] -> BLOCKED

same content. only the filename matters.

if your filename has WEB-DL, WEBRip, AMZN, DSNP, or CR in it, blocked. BD Remux and fansub-style names pass fine.

a 1946 Popeye cartoon and a 1949 Ozu film are not getting DMCA'd. RD is just running a regex on filenames.

Working before:

- Full ADB shell over USB and Wi-Fi

- Root access via su (factory included?)

- adb push/pull, scrcpy, adb install are all working for me

- I used wireless ADB daily to sync ebooks and backup the device

After i upgraded:

- ADB detects the device and shows it as a connected device

- Every shell command returns: error: not support command

- adb push, adb pull, adb install, logcat are all blocked

- Even scrcpy can't push its server binary

It looks like the device has a custom restricted ADB daemon that rejects everything. From what I've found online, Viwoods intentionally locked down ADB and reportedly offered a custom tool to some users as a workaround. I've emailed their support at service@viwoods.com hopefully they respond soon.

Has anyone else run into this? Any workarounds? Is there a way to downgrade?
