  • The same way filebot and any other tool does - the file needs to have some label, either an absolute episode number or a season + episode number. I'm not aware of any tool that is able to look at the contents of the video to figure out which episode it is visually without any information from the filename - but I'd be happy to be proven wrong because I would be impressed.

    Sonarr/radarr does analyze the content somewhat but that's just for gathering resolution, codec, HDR, audio languages, and subtitle information, which can all be added to the filename format for inclusion during renaming.


  • I second using sonarr/radarr, once imported it detects episodes and lets you one click rename to a specific format and folder organization.

    If you don't want any of the other features of sonarr/radarr (like having a way to filter and manage your collection to see what's in what quality or from what release group, searching multiple indexers with a single search, being able to send a specific search result to a downloader and have it automatically imported and organized when complete, or have auto downloading based on requests using scoring rules that you set), then there's also filebot which a lot of people seem to like and seems to be just for matching with online metadata and renaming.

    But I haven't tried filebot since I like the extra features and capabilities of sonarr/radarr. It makes it easy to manage several library folders like an archive for anything that's been reviewed, is complete, and in a quality/codec that I'm satisfied with, and keeping track of currently airing shows in my active folder which is where I also keep auto downloaded stuff I haven't reviewed.

    Maybe try flipping it the other way? Idk I'm not an expert but for some reason my old pumps you flip the lever down 90° to lock it but on my newer pumps you flip it straight (so it's pointing the same direction as the valve, towards the center of the wheel).

    When using a new pump I just keep flipping it differently until it works, and I generally don't have problems with presta. Not sure if some pumps make you flip it differently depending on the valve type - it seems like they all invent their own way to support both so it's confusing.

    I mean yeah that's true - I'm not disputing the importance of having high available credit, but if it was such a shortcut as suggested then it wouldn't have taken me years on top of that credit line to not have a thin file and a decade of buying monthly chips on multiple cards to get the score I have now. So I don't think it's exactly the cheat code that anarchoilluminati suggests it is.

    What I'm getting at is that this credit line definitely helped a ton, but it didn't get me there on its own. It gave me a perfect score in credit availability but it took years for the rest of my credit score factors to fill in from my own small purchases on my own cards.

    on time payments is probably the most important.

    This also supports what I'm saying - that getting added as an authorized user on a high limit card helped in the available credit and utilization metrics, but that you still need to do other things to round out the score, which I don't think can just be brushed away by claiming that getting added to an existing card did most of the work.

    Edit: also the problem with getting added to someone else's card for utilization is that their utilization shows up as yours too - so if my parents carry a balance of 15k on their 30k card then my utilization would have been better off if I only had $100 of credit and only used $5. While my available credit went down when that card closed my utilization actually improved because I don't carry balances so in my case being in their card only helped my total credit. Luckily by the time they closed that card my own credit line about matched what that card had so I didn't take a hit on available credit.


  • Well, they help with different things. Having my name as authorized on that card added a large credit line but didn't contribute to a credit payment history (I still had a "thin file" for quite a while and still had to co-sign my first apartment) nor does it help with a low credit utilization. In fact it hurt that aspect some because my parents would occasionally have a large balance and I would see my credit dip temporarily.

    Regardless it's important to work on all the contributing factors of the credit score and available credit is just one of them.

    This is one thing I think a lot of people misunderstand. I mean maybe I misunderstand too but based on capitalone credit wise's rubrik it seems like you really want to have the lowest statement balance possible while still making some purchases on occasion. (Ie the goal being to have a credit history where the credit usage is very low, or the mantra of "use your credit to build credit" probably should be "use it regularly not heavily").

    I just stuck my 5 or so credit cards in a box and take them out every couple of months to buy a bag of chips, then double check the auto pay. My credit is like 816 from doing this for like 10 years.

    It also seemed to help that my parents added me as an authorized user on one of their high limit cards when I was like a teen - I'm not sure how that can affect my credit but on credit reports it seemed to include their massive 30K credit limit into the calculation which appeared to help a ton, and I rarely or never used that card. By now that account is closed but I've managed to get increases on most of my cards so that my own credit limit is high enough to replace it.


  • I'm on unrooted lineage with mindthegapps / Google play services with my Google Services Framework ID registered with Google, but I still have to make 3 attempts to log in to my bank with the first 2 attempts always giving a vague error like "we're not sure why we couldn't connect", similar with fidelity. Using a password manager so I'm entering the same credentials every time.

    (Edit: in the case of fidelity, instead of faking a connection issue it tells me my account is blocked and to call support to unblock it - that's also fake because I called once and they said my account wasn't locked and trying to log in a second time always works)

    My understanding is that it's impossible to pass strong integrity unless you're using the stock unmodified rom with the bootloader locked.

    I changed banks last week and the new bank (Aspiration) logs in fine the first time every time.

    It sounds like the situation is better with graphene but I find it a lot easier to switch banks than roms.

    Somebody should make an api shim that proxies openapi compatible requests to this. And since Microsoft is forcing copilot on windows 10 they're on the shit list too. Load balance all the AI workloads onto both of them through API adapters.


  • I remember when Netflix first introduced the ad supported plan and a lot of people were like this is how they make you pay extra to not see ads, and a lot of other people called that fud because it's an additional tier and the normal tier isn't impacted.

    At the time I was yelling that it was just the first step - create an ad free plan, wait for people to calm down, then slowly raise the prices until the ad supported plan costs as much as the ad free one used to. And there you have it, they charged extra to not see ads, just with extra steps.

    I quit Netflix back then and I'm so glad I did. $10/mo in electricity gets me every streaming service on my Plex, that's like a $100/mo value and I get to share it with all my friends.
