English: for section 1 question a on paper 1 use pqe, point quote explain, nake one point use a quote to back it up and explain, leave extra space after each point incase you have extra time to spend on it
Question b of that same question make sure if you write the text of a speech the whole text is said speech and if you have to for example write the text of a speech from a famous person you never step out of character. Your opening line should be basically a rephrasing of the question eg:write an article for the local newspaper, you should say "I am writing for the x newspaper to tell you about...", even if its unrealistic they still look for this in regard to your purpose mark.
For the composing:make sure there are famous people you can talk about a lot, also just a few topics that youve got some bit of knowledge on e.g ai might be handy
personal essay: use anecdotes even if they're made up
Short story:I'm avoiding this personally but make sure you show don't tell and alsondont leave plot holes, from what I've heard people who do this already have things like settings, characters and storylines planned out before the exam
Opinion essay: chose for or against and be strongly for or against, if im not mistaken you can be neutral but it's a lot harder
For the single text your first quote shouldn't be from act 1 scene 1 or your texts equivalent,your answer shouldn't be a summary
For hamlet: have lots of quotes, back in as many points as possible with quotes, remember the word regicide and antic-disposition, if the question asks about Claudius' role as villain if must only be his direct wrong doings (laertes, elder hamlet) and not the ones he indirectly caused by making hamlet mad (ophelia, polonius etc).
Comparative:constantly compare your 3 texts,(this next tip only applies if parf of your comparative course is never let me go) MOST of the time if you are doing the question 1 which is split up into a and b where a is in relation to 1 text and b is 2, never let me go will be in part a as it is hard to compare to other texts, this obviously depends on the question but if in doubt do that
Unseen poetry:I'm absolutely useless at this but on my mock I completely misunderstood the poem and got 17/20, waffle with confidence, don't spend too long on it as 20 marks is sweet fa in your English paper and the difference between spending 20 mins and 25 mins is no more than 3 marks.
Poetry: have one poem you can talk for days about no matter what, they will more than likely come up. Have 3 more you understand to be able to answer a question, then your perfectly covered. If you want to be more confident you can learn 2 poems to perfect 50/50 but from here to Thursday time management is important
History: if your a slow writer like me learn a metric fuck tonne of good quotes they're the quickest way to pick up marks, here's a few if you want them
Oh little sputnik flying high/with made-in-moscow-beep/you show the world its a commie sky/and uncle Sam's asleep-mennen Williams,democratic governor of michigan
The United States would provide political, military and economic assistance to all democratic nations under threat from external and internal forces-the turman doctrine
We are kings men and well be with you to the end -james Craig (not precisely a long one but so many essays it could be used in)
I want dr king to know that I didn't come to selma to make his job difficult, I really did come thinking I could make it easier. If the white people realise what the alternative is, perhaps they will be more willing to here dr king-malcolm x
Geography: from here to friday dedicate 10 minutes to aerial photography, it's 8 marks waiting to be claimed. Nows probably too late for flashcards but if it isn't fucking use them for srps
Maths: nows not too late to print off a mock or past paper, see what needs the most work and make sure you fully understand them
Irish: if your like me and haven't done a scratch there's still more than a week, predictions are your best friend, learn one essay, one poetry notes, one story notes and one play notes and let God decide how well he wants you to do
French:be able to write about the Olympics as if your fluent, its probably going to come up. Know your tenses and your subjunctive. Learn off a few proverbs they add marks to any essay. "Je suis tout à fait d'accord avec le declaration Ci dessus","il est neccesaire de pesser le pour et le contre", "n'oublions pas le proverbe" and "a Mon avis" fit into most opinion pieces, know them(get correct spelling aswel mine was affected by autocorrect). Also if your down to the wire learn diary phrased, even if you write a bad diary you will get marks for the phrases
Accounting: final accounts will come up,know 2/3, learn all your ratios and all the theory they will come up, know either budgeting or costing as one of each will come up, that leaves the second 100 marker, it will most likely be suspense as that comes up every second year but it could be a 60 marker, I wouldn't even bother worrying about anything else until ratios,final accounts, budget/costing and suspense are up to the grade your hoping for but if all that is sorted learn off maybe 3 other possible 100 markers, that any you have 4 which includes the 80% likely suspense and 2 will come up, the accounting exam is probably the easiest to predict, and for the love of God know your theory. Keep doing exam questions of your struggling, every time you correct one write down your mistakes and have the list of mistakes next to you when doing the next one, then tear it and make a new list of mistakes
This is all my experience, I will add any good advice for these subject or other subjects that are provided in the comments, all of these are for higher level except for maths, good luck,don't panic and think about the pint that's instore once this is all over

My setup is Ryzen 5 7600x, B650M-A 32GB ram and RTX3070 ti
When running most games, the cpu is getting really hot (I know it can withstand 95c) to the point where the pc is just crashing, for example playing roboquest for 20-30 minutes, monitors are being turned off and I need to restart the pc. the gpu is around 60-65c so it shouldnt be that.
downloaded ryzen master and I dont see the eco mode option there and Im currently running the curve optimizer, hopefully this should solve some stuff. I dont have liquid cooling, I think I have a noctua NH-L12S but im honestly not sure, and my case is too small to add something else.
What can I do to improve the situation

DAE bonglie hates hunter?!?!?!?

I know it's a popular theme, but I want to talk about my situation. I have a HP Victus 15 with Ryzen 5 5600H, Rx 6500M(4gb) and 8gb of ram. My GPU usually works in 80-90% in games and for some reason this percentage strikes up to 100% which makes usually a drop from 70-90 fps to 20-30 for a brief moment and then goes back. It usually happens every 5 seconds. But then I tried lowering in-game setting. I have decreased resolution, made sure to have a 60fps limit, lowered some video settings. And then my GPU works casually in 60-70% but still, the same lag is still in the game but in somewhat 5 minutes, not seconds. I have checked for viruses, and a still have it. Is there anything I can do or should I send it for fix?

This Challenge is a boss rush where you can start with any of the 12 bosses exept dreamless and you get 1 full tower heal where you cannot use any items that help you in combat (Revives, Heals, Food, etc) The characters you start with are the characters you use the entire run and Dreamless boss must be the final boss you face
I did the challenge and it is possible (beat it with an Unopitmized build and not even finished yet but finished with a lv 60, 50, and 40) I also posted my results of the challenge onto youtube and am curios if people will find it fun
The bosses I did in order is Scar Crownless Bell-Borne Geochelone Inferno Rider Feilian Beringal Mourning Aix Mech Abomination Lampylumen Myraid Full Heal (Resonance Nexus one by Scar and Tempest Mephis) Tempest Mephis Thundering Mephis Impermanence Heron Dreamless
In case someone is competetive my record is 24 minutes and 34 seconds (In the video I was showing my build so it is likely like 3 maybe 4 minutes shorter)

The other night I was driving from York towards Selby on the A19. There's a traffic light in Crockey Hill with an overtaking lane. As I was approaching, the lights were green so stayed in the left lane. I was going the limit (40mph.) Next thing I know, as the lanes start to merge, a white Tesla going well over 60 completely cuts me off - Yes, that's why I have mirrors, but in this circumstance, nobody should be overtaking at all.
Unfortunately for Mr "In-a-rush," the black Renault in front of me must have seen how much of a dick he was being and pulled out all the stops to make sure the Tesla didn't have an accident. When the road turned to 60mph, he stayed at 40. If there was space for the Tesla to overtake, they sped up, if there was oncoming traffic, they slowed down, if the road bens, they moved to the right so the Tesla couldn't see.
The Tesla thought his time was worth more than the safety of everyone else on the road, and risked what could have been a huge accident to save a few seconds, which actually ended up costing him a good ten minutes. I wasn't in any rush, so was happy to sit back and enjoy watching his get angrier and angrier.
Don't drive like a dick
​

Probably the oddest project I've worked with. Car ran fine when picked up roughly 2 weeks ago. I've since replaced the radiator fan switch and topped up coolant when I noticed temps getting high. Coolant levels did not drop after this and temperature remained stable.
Problem began last week when it had some slight hard starts that then progressed to crank, no starts. I didn't have the tools to run my own diagnostics (but I have them coming in now), but the part that leaves me puzzled was 2 things:

• 1: the OBD2 code mentioned engine coolant temperature sensor voltage both high and low, so I replaced that.
• 2: I changed spark plugs along with the ECT sensor, and the car started right up. There was a large plume of smoke that smelled of gasoline, but it cleared out as the car reached operating temperature. I left the OBD2 tool in as this model of Civic doesn't have RPM in dash and monitored the engine as I drove up to 60 mph for about 2 miles. Handled, accelerated, did everything 100% as expected for a fully operational car. I also let it continue to idle in driveway afterwards for 10 minutes. 0 additional smoke appeared. No CEL and no codes appeared in OBD2. 0 change in coolant level, oil looks good.

I'm at a loss now because the very next day, it's back to a crank no start and I don't know what to do about it. I had a new distributor come in with the spark plugs, I swapped out the old one but there's 0 change. Right now, I'm acquiring a test light, some starter fluid, and new ground wires to rule things out, but I'm very much open to any direction here.
What could be causing this?
Edit: I've already ruled out crank position sensor as the OBD2 can read RPM's when trying to start.

Here it is. Every track that was put out by the label Fischkopf Hamburg, from all records they released. Listed, ordered, with a little comment / short review / description added to each one. Note that the "chart" concept might be a bit misleading here: Essentially, we love *all* Fischkopf tracks and think they are great. So, if a track is at number 101 or 124 in this chart, this does not mean it's a bad track - to the contrary! It's all good stuff (but some is a little better ;) We just thought the charts format would be a good idea; to present the label's catalogue, increase awareness of its music, and give somewhat of an overview of the material the label released. (And some of the comments aim to be in the typical tongue-in-cheek, lighthearted attitude, and style of the 90s hardcore fanzines)
More info about Fischkopf Hamburg can be found here:
https://hardcoretechnoprimer.blogspot.com/2021/01/the-story-of-fischkopf.html
But let us begin:
1.Taciturne - Phenprocoumon
very inventive hardcore techno track. a good example of the kind of music Fischkopf Records released. commodore amiga hardcore sound. uses broken, unusual rhythms, not typical 4/4 hardcore techno sequences. very noisy and abrasive. at the same time, a "far eastern" ambient melody is used in this track, which is very calm and soothing. this creates a very interesting clash between the harsh, abrasive elements, and the calm melody.
2.Auto-Psy - Oxyde
A legendary track made by Stella Michelsen. Hardcore Techno. From France. Industrial. Raw. Surreal. Manipulated vocals. Ambient elements. Immortal.
3.No Name - Latex
Aggressive Overture produced by Poka Michelson. Extremely unorthodox. Noisy. Close to avantgarde music. Glorious.
4.Fields Of Defacement - Urticated
Acidcore. Experimental. Project by Lasse Steen. Unusual sound. Hypnotic melody. Very Techno-like.
5.Christoph De Babalon - Babylon 90210
Dreamy. Futuristic. Sci-Fi. Jungle, Breakcore. Done on an amiga 500. By a producer from Hamburg.

Proto-Doomcore techno track. Very unusual. Entrancing. Techno-style. Drone that gets modulated throughout the track. Mid-tempo. Use of loops. Creates a surreal feel.
8.Eradicator - You're Lieing Pig
The only breakcore track on the "Agit Prop" LP. very lo fi, very thin sound. strange sound fx, bleeps, almost videogame-like sounds. overdriven breakbeat rhythm running throughout the track. sparsely used other elements such as distorted guitars and an aggressive vocal sample. great work by Patric Catani under his "Eradicator" alias.
9.Fields Of Defacement - Bang-Bang (Live In Hamburg 96)
Live recording. Brutal. Acidcore. With gabber and general hardcore elements. Entrancing. Exalted. Shows the power of a hardcore techno live performance.
10.Taciturne - Mourning
Probably the best known track by Taciturne next to "Der Toten". was included in Manu Le Malin's "Biomechanik" compilation.

So, that's it! Over and out. Did you like our charts? Let us know!

So this might come out a little sporadic but I'm typing as it the conversations come out. Also on mobile apologies for format. Also I've tried to talk to them about my wife's feelings about being here but they brush it off and said well suck it up.
So after struggling to keep up with rent our landlord said to have 1300 by last friday or be gone. We had no way of coming up with 1300 in 5 days (she told us the monday of that week). So we told her we would be gone so we started packing. Called my parents to see if we could temporarily move in with them and they said yes, it should be noted they have spent the better part this year pushing to have me, my wife and our daughter move in with them rent free. My wife and I are both pretty private so the thought of living with other people was too much even if it was family. Being our only choice I had to reach out, we spent monday afternoon through Wednesday night packing our home of 3.5 years. They came down thursday and we started loading the truck (just my wife and i) while they kept our daughter busy. After the truck is loaded and they have our mattress and a few other items loaded in their truck they take us out to eat, we then take the truck to the storage unit, unload and make our way to their house 2.5 hours away.
My parents and I have a semi strenuous relationship, being they like to control and guilt trip me since I'm a only child and my dad is now disabled. Their on fixed income. My wife and I spent the better part of the next 4 days applying for jobs through various job websites. It's been fine up until Tuesday when we head 45 minutes away to the nearest town with staffing agencies. We fill out info and were told to wait for a call. That was about 3 or 4 hours, knowing we did all we could we headed back. We get back to my parents house(really a trailer on some land) the first thing out of my moms mouth was "yall are back already. I figured you would make a day of it" mind you we've been applying online to anything and everything but so far no calls. As I've already checked the jobs in town (as small as it is) only accept online applications, it's not like we could fill out paper ones and et hired on the spot. My wife and I spend the rest of the day in our room still applying for what we can find. My parents want us to sit out in the living room with them, we do for a little bit until it's time to put our daughter to sleep.
Wednesday comes and it goes pretty much like tuesday, along with the sly comments when we get back, except this time we head another 30 minutes away to another town and we have a interview set for this coming monday.
Thursday comes and we dont go out because we've already hit the staffing agencies even remotely close to us, which any job we get requires up to a hour of driving one way. Now this trailer is hoooot and the ac doesnt work all that well on our side so my dad and I take a window unit out of his work shed and fit it in the window of our room. All that was said before we spent half a day getting to this point was any extra electricity we use we would pay the difference, that was fine with me. My parents are older and get cold easily so setting the ac temperature to 78 is normal for them but again the ac sucks on our side and we're sweating our asses off the previous nights.
Meanwhile they have been pressuring us to spend our free time in the living room to watch movies with them, while they have their faces buried in their phones and not paying any attention to anything else.
So now its Friday, exactly 1 week from our first full day out here. We're down to 1 vehicles right now and the engine temp gauge starts going out as we ran into town for baby stuff. We make it home and I noticed I missed a call from my mom. I call her back and she asks where we are at, I said we just got back because the car was acting up. " well I thought yall would he out applying for jobs" I said again we've been applying for jobs for a week now. "Well you need to figure something out soon especially since your car is messing up". So then I spend the next 4 hours helping my dad around the property and listen to him complain that we've been using too much electricity with the window unit and they cant afford a $500 electric bill. We've kept the ac at 70 and it barely comes on with 2 fans going. We have a 2 year old and she doesnt need to be sweating in her sleep. I say ok and try to move on. After taking a shower and laying down to rest I get up and grab some leftovers from the previous night. Now before I continue I should mention that when I was still living at home while my wife and started dating, my parents would ambush me after getting home with 2 or 3 hour discussions on how my behavior is unacceptable. Meaning me going out with my girlfriend at the time, now wife and walking through the park after work or going on a date on our days off. This continued until we moved in together. Even me moving out was a problem when I didnt want to take towels and cookware with me because we already bought some. They always guilt trip me into helping them with something. Now after a 1.5 years of my wife and I living together my parents lost their house(my mom didnt tell my dad until a week before they had to leave) she knew for a while but never got a job or asked for help. So my wife and I got 1k each loans from work to help them move(which they have paid back) but then spent the next 3 days helping them move 20 years worth of living 2.5 hours away.
My wife has tried to get along with them but they just rub her the wrong way with comments, behavior and attitudes.
But now we have a kid so I feel compelled to go out there as often as possible so they can spend time with their grandchild.
Now cut to friday(yesterday now) and I'm heating up leftovers. As soon as I set my bowl on the table they come sit down, oh joy another round table discussion. They start off with how we sleep in too late(9 or 10am is too late I guess) we dont spend time with them, also a lie because we spent 6 hours in the living room the day before and they barely acknowledged us, we dont seem to be doing anything. Also a lie, coming straight from their mouths, they dont believe we have been putting any effort to find a job since we dont do it in the living room and tell them watch what yall want we're putting in applications. I cannot make this up. How I have to ask if they need any chores or anything done around the house to help out. Also a lie because I ask do you need help with dinner, do you need help with cleaning up, and my dad has been asking for my help for every little job he wants to do around the house. I may be your child but I'm not a child. They dont like how we sit in our room, for maybe half a day, I've spent more time doing shit around the house or looking for a job than I have spent chilling with my wife and daughter. How we dont seem to have a plan and their not going to be paying our way, now mind you they've been hounding us to move in, we have to find jobs, shit doesnt come by easily anymore. One thing they kept saying before was yall dont have to come in the living room with us, you can come and go as you please, that was bullshit. As far as places reaching out to us for interviews it's only been 5 business days since we've been here, between the 2 of us we have nearly 150 applications out and nearly all of those are 45-1.5hrs away. We do have 2 interviews set for monday.
So they wait until I've sat down to eat since I've been busy all day and haven't eaten to ambush me again with a talk. They love to control me by guilt, before it was fine because it was just me dealing with them since my wife refuses to play their games but now your trying to do this shit in front of my wife and daughter.
Side note I told my mom not to feed our daughter with her spoon the night before, " well we've been doing you just havent been here to see it" and continued to do it. I started to raise my voice but my wife shook her head no.
Where did all the promises before go to? Why is it now we're just lazy bums sleeping all day(lie). I have a plan, I know what I need to do, as I'm telling them this I get the "dont be so defensive"line. I'm not being defensive, I'm telling you we have interviews set and applications out, it's a waiting game. Anytime in that discussion I say something that disproves what their saying they turn it around to well that's not the point that's exactly the point, what I said proves that your talking out your ass but you sont see it that way. Earlier in the day for the 3rd time in 2 days they berate me about the extra electricity. Why offer to have a window unit put in if you sidnt expect us to use it. We're not talking 60 degrees 24/7. 70 at night(which is still hot in the room but bearable and off during the day.
Also my wife doesnt feel comfortable eating around people, so really the only time she eats is dinner at the table(mandatory apparently) or if I bring food in the room, with my parents behavior its makes her uncomfortable to be out in the living room(where the spend nearly all day) to grab a snack. I get it, your in someone else's house you dont want to dig around the fridge. So now my wife is barely eating.
I've been trying to keep a relationship going for the sake of my daughter but this shit is the last straw. I feel like your trying to drive a wedge between my wife and I(like they've been trying to under the guise of have we want to spend time with yall but making sly comments to piss us off) my wife is ready to leave and I'm with her. I cant do this game with them anymore.
Yall offer help with one hand and have a knife in the other. Everything has strings attached to it.
Over the years my dad has giving me some thing she doesnt use anymore. A old laptop (by today's standards but usable) Xbox one which I still use A old digital camera Old tablet with cracked screen Set of battery powered drills(heavily used) These are the only items they bring up and ask if I still have them or I sold them. They are all in storage, I should know by now any gift will be used against me later on by accusing me of selling them.
So now I'm on reddit after my wife and I talking about the entire week, 1 week, 7 days of being here. Until she fell asleep about 1am. I'm still up pissed off and typing this. I'm not sure what to do, we talked about gettig 2 checks and getting a pay by the week hotel to get out of here quickly or try to deal with it for 2 months until we save enough to rent a place(security and at least 2 months rent)
I'm ready to ghost them and move on, my behavior is suddenly a problem when it doesnt involve them.
Side side note, for our daughters birthday we decided not to do a party and just the 3 of us go to zoo. We had a blast, lot of laughs and pictures, it was a great day until my dad took offense that he wasnt invited. Nobody wss invited because it was the 3 of us. But again everything has to be about them.
So thank you if you made it this far, I may add more as it comes to me but this is the basic idea of my situation.

I'm looking to see what tips people have for quickly solo leveling alts to 70 in Remix. If you've had luck getting an alt to 70 in less than 5 hours, without the help of guildies or friends, how did you pull it off? My quickest was 4 hours 21 minutes.
I went with a Druid and the method I used was mainly farming Heroic Dungeons and Normal raids. The way I did it isn't possible within a day, you have to stretch it out over a few days because you will run Normal Vaults/HoF a few times, but your final /played time can end up being less than 5 hours. Also, having the tank/healer queue luxury makes a huge difference.
You start off just by running Heroic Dungeons until you hit 25, but make sure you turn off auto loot and you DO NOT loot the XP tokens dropped by bosses. These will be sent to your mailbox to be opened later. You keep doing this until you reach lvl 25 and then run N Vaults. Once again, you don't collect the boss XP tokens, just everything else. You won't get much experience from the raid, you're here to collect more tokens, but most importantly you want to boost your cloak's Experience Gain %. Each boss gives you a 12% XP thread and you can sometimes get more from random purple threads, so you get much more from raids than dungeons. After running N Vaults I quit for the day. Next day I ran Vaults again, doing the same thing and letting the XP tokens get sent to mailbox, and after that I ran Heroics until I hit 35, and then I ran HoF, once again collecting threads and saving XP tokens. At that point I logged off.
On the third day I ran N Vaults again, and then did Heroic Dungeons until I hit level 40. At this point my cloak was 437% XP Gain, and I had 33 blue and 20 purple XP tokens in my mailbox. I didn't know if I had enough to reach 70 but I went for it. I also wasn't sure if the order mattered in using them, but I used all of the blue ones first, which took me from 40 - 63. Then I popped all 20 purple tokens and it took me to lvl 69 with just a few bars away from hitting 70, so I didn't quite make it. Also, I should have had 24 tokens based on running those raids 4 times, but I used some on purpose to see how much XP it would give me, and I also accidentally looted others. My advice is to just stock them all until you're ready. The grind from 60-70 takes much longer than any other, which is why those 20 purple tokens weren't enough, but I ran one Heroic Dungeon and before the end of it I hit 70 at 4 hours and 21 mins played.
I don't know what the magic number is when it comes to your cloak's XP Gain %, how many tokens to save, and what level you should be before using them, but it seems like being somewhere around level 40, having at least 400% cloak XP, and having 55-60 tokens, will get you from 40 - 70, or close to it. Being able to queue as a healer or tank will always speed up the process, I was queueing as healer, but ultimately you are still at the mercy of the group you get, and there were Heroic Dungeons I got into that really slowed my progress because there wasn't really anyone to carry the group. So, doing this strategy, you rely on some luck to get at least 1 person in the group who can smash through a dungeon. In the early stages you can smash pretty well yourself because of the scaling, but your power will start to diminish the higher you level and if you end up in a Heroic Dungeon with fresh level 70s or people in their 60s, it's going to take more time. I ended up with 74,284 bronze when dinging 70 (after collecting the quest bronze) 74k bronze in a little over 4 hours played isn't so bad.
If anyone else has some tips and has been able to pull off better /played times please share. I would like to try and get an alt to level 70 closer to 3 hours played.

I have a 6 month old chow chow mix, who I adopted 3 months ago. The one thing I wanted to make sure was firmly planned and in place was a proper exercise routine. I looked up how much exercise her breeds need, made a routine, and have had her on it since I adopted her. Up until now it's been great. She gets one 30 to 60 minute walk (its a sniff adventure, so she sets the pace). We walk just over a mile round trip, and she usually passes out right after. We get two 30 to 60 minute indoor play sessions, basically till she passes out again. And 1 to 2 hours of backyard time. Plus 20 minutes of training. At the end of the day, I usually let her out around 10:30 to go potty before bed, and up till now she's usually back inside and passed out by 11. Recently she comes back inside and gets crazy zoomies. She'll start playing again for over an hour. She usual goes until about midnight. A couple of times now she hasn't settled down until 1am, which is killing me. She wakes me up around 8am, and it takes me a while to get to sleep, so I'm sometimes running on 5 hours a night. That's not enough when you're raising a 6 month old puppy. I'm really not sure how I can pack anymore exercise time into the day, especially since we basically play until she wants to stop each time. And it already consumed so much of my day, I barely have time to take care of myself or my home. Any suggestions on how to get her energy out at a more appropriate time? I can't crate her. She was left in a crate for 3 days with only water before I rescued her, and now she's terrified of crates. So that's not really an option for us.

Hi! I am Creator u/bubblebunz
Checkout my fortnite maps which use this math all day!
I think your question is:
Since $1 for 1,000 plays * 60 minutes equals 60,000 play - minutes
The total play time for the given plays and play time per play for $169,000 plays with each play lasting 10 minutes.
Total playtime equals 169,000 plays times 10 minutes per play equals
We know that $1.00 corresponds to 60,000 play-minutes. We need to find the payment for 1,690,000 play-minutes. Set up the equation:
Let P be the payment for 1,690,000 play-minutes.
The proportion is: 1.0060,000=P1,690,000\frac{1.00}{60,000} = \frac{P}{1,690,000}60,0001.00​=1,690,000P​
Solve for P:
P=1,690,000×1.0060,000P = \frac{1,690,000 \times 1.00}{60,000}
P=60,0001,690,000×1.00​
Calculate the result:
P=1,690,00060,000P = \frac{1,690,000}{60,000}
P=60,0001,690,000​ P=28.17
P = 28.17 P=28.17
So, the equation you would use is:
P=1,690,000×1.0060,000P = \frac{1,690,000 \times 1.00}{60,000}P=60,0001,690,000×1.00​
And the payment P for 169,000 plays with each play having a playtime of 10 minutes would be $28.17.

I had lost a remote for my unused Fire Stick 4K and couldn't setup it up after doing a factory reset without one so I decided to buy a new device, as I didn't wanted to buy NVIDIA Shield TV Pro as it's quite expensive I decided to go for Google Chromecast 4K with Google TV due to many people recommending it. There are so many problems with this device, at least for me personally which I will list below:
Wi-Fi issues:
I tried streaming multiple movies of various sizes and resolutions to test it but mostly 4K or 1080P movies, to give you a good example, I had trouble streaming 27GB 4K movie as it would buffer too much so I switched over to 8GB 4K movie and it would stream fine.
After a few days of using my newly bought Chromecast 4K I would also entirely lose Wi-Fi signal and Chromecast couldn't connect to it for the next few minutes, sometimes I had to toggle Wi-Fi off then on to get it to work again. Wi-Fi just became too much of a pain, my other devices connected to my Wi-Fi network just work without any issues. It seems like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip is somehow wonky on this thing.
Terrible Video Quality:
Many movies that I stream supposed to be visually crisp and sharp on my Philips 4K TV but for some strange reason, many of them are a bit pixelated or have that off putting grainy effect on them, just type "Movie grain texture" or "Movie grain effect" on Google to see what I mean or better head over to Google Images and type "Last of Us 2 grain effect" to see comparison with and without the grain effect. Additionally, for some reason Chromecast 4K from time to time dropps frames from movies and you can clearly see it at 24 FPS and even more at 60 FPS.
Input lag from my remote:
I'm not sure why this happens but I use my TV's remote over HDMI-CEC and there is a few seconds delay between when I press a button and when it actually happens on the TV, it makes everything feel very slow and not snappy as you can clearly see the delay in front of you and yes, I use my remote in front of my TV so I'm not that far away from it. Navigating through the menus or interface itself feels like a chore on this device.
Black Screen and Accessories issues:
As many people before me, I also had black screen issue and when I was watching a movie my screen would just go black out of nowhere and also lose sound then it would show a notification in the lower right hand corner that Dolby Vision was turned on and it would disappear a few seconds later with black screen still remaining until I unplugged and plugged in my Chromecast 4K to the mains to turn it off and on again.
As I couldn't find any fix for my black screen issue on Google. I have bought and linked Rii i4 mini keyboard via Bluetooth to my Chromecast 4K and noticed that I was getting black screen issues when I was using the said keyboard or shortly after when it woke up from sleep so I disconnected it from my Chromecast 4K and haven't had a single Black Screen issue since then. I tested it out for almoast a day and this annoying black screen issue is finally fixed and gone.
I also bought a 6 in 1 ORICO USB C hub that supposed to have Ethernet working when I hooked it up to my Chromecast 4K but the lights would just light up on both ends, left and right on the USB Hub but still no internet via it, settings on the Chromecast didn't even detected the Ethernet either. The said hub have properly powered my Chromecast 4K and have functioning Ethernet but Chromecast itself just doesn't like it even after I plugged it into efficient power source.
Long troubleshooting times:
I spent ages on figuring out the black screen issues or how to improve my video quality when streaming, I tried:

• Turning off Hardware Decoding in the app
• Using Female to Male HDMI Cable\Extension that came with my Fire Stick 4K
• Setting Chromecast to 4k 30 as some TVs don't like 60 FPS mode
• Disabling Gaming Mode
• I also Used 30W Charger with USB C PD and capable USB C cable to deliver more power
• There are probably more things I tried but forgot to add them here

None of these things I listed above even made any difference but per my previous point, I managed to at least fix my black screen issue as it was very annoying and was driving me crazy to turn off and on my Chromecast every 5, 10 or 20 minutes when I was in the middle of watching a movie.
Costs of Chromecast vs NVIDIA Shield Pro:
This is what I spent all together on my Chromecast 4K setup:
£60 - Chromecast
£20 - 6 in 1 Orico USB C Hub
£19 - Rii i4
Total: £99
This is what NVIDIA Shield Pro costs:
£189 - NVIDIA Shield Pro
£19 - Rii i4 (Can re-use it as I already bought it)
Total: £189
My conclusion:
This whole experience left me hopeless and for a device that supposed to be just "plug n play", it is not, especially when I had to spent a day and a half to get it to work correctly but even then it doesn't function how it supposed to according to what Google advertises, heck, it can't even deliver the promised crisp and sharp 4K quality and its Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips are a complete joke.
I don't have time or energy to troubleshoot a device that supposed to work out of the box and deliver the excellent experience. This whole experience really left me with a sour taste in my mouth and I decided to just throw away my Chromecast 4K as I can't return it without a receipt of purchase. Instead, I decided to just buy NVIDIA Shield TV Pro and I won't be recommending this piece of garbage hardware to anyone in the future.
Just my two cents with my own experience when it comes to Chromecast 4K with Google TV.

Evening fellow Toyota lovers! Wanted to get y’all’s take.
Currently, I’m sporting a 2021 TRD Sport 4x4 Tacoma. I’m about to hit 60,000 miles after purchasing it “used” off the lot in December 2020. It was a loaner truck that literally hit the lot the same day I took it home. With that, they had to give me the “used” price. Got all the bells and whistles on the truck for $43,000.
It’s a fantastic truck and I’ve honestly never had a problem with it. I take it in every 5000 miles for oil changes, keep it clean, and just fork over the money that the dealership recommends I need to service.
I have about $15,500 left on a 2.5% auto loan and the truck is worth about $33,000. I’m basically driving for free at that rate.
The problem? I think I’ve outgrown it. Literally. I’m about to be 30 years old and am 6 foot flat on a good day. My head sits actually 1 inch from the roof of the vehicle. Hit a speed bump out of nowhere? You just banged your head to oblivion. The problem stems from the moon roof lowering the head clearence a bit, and yes, I have lowered my chair as far as it goes. My hair literally touches the ceiling. I just put new $900 tires on it 1,000 miles ago that I know is not taken into consideration in the value.
I honestly dread having to sit in this thing for longer than 20 minutes. Especially knowing that there are alternatives. Can’t put a price on Mental health?
How was this not noticed in test drives? Baseball cap and excitedness of buying my first truck.
Why now is it a big problem? Had a mini panic attack during a 4 hour car ride. Felt claustrophobic. Current stretch my torso without having to bend my head. I’d like to start a family in the next two years, how the HELL do I fit a baby seat in the back row of this truck? The wife is 5’10” if that helps.
What’s the substitute? One of those beautiful 2024 $73,000 1794 Edition Tundra with all the bells and whistles. 3.99% financing for 60 months. The truck is amazing. I REALLY value technology.
So, after my book of a post, my questions is… would you suck it up another 2 years or bite the bullet and get the newest toy?

I have about $15,500 left on a 2.5% auto loan and the truck is worth about $33,000. I’m basically driving for free at that rate.
The problem? I think I’ve outgrown it. Literally. I’m about to be 30 years old and am 6 foot flat on a good day. My head sits actually 1 inch from the roof of the vehicle. Hit a speed bump out of nowhere? You just banged your head to oblivion. The problem stems from the moon roof lowering the head clearence a bit, and yes, I have lowered my chair as far as it goes. My hair literally touches the ceiling. I just put new $900 tires on it 1,000 miles ago that I know is not taken into consideration in the value.
I honestly dread having to sit in this thing for longer than 20 minutes. Especially knowing that there are alternatives. Can’t put a price on Mental health?
How was this not noticed in test drives? Baseball cap and excitedness of buying my first truck.
Why now is it a big problem? Had a mini panic attack during a 4 hour car ride. Felt claustrophobic. Current stretch my torso without having to bend my head. I’d like to start a family in the next two years, how the HELL do I fit a baby seat in the back row of this truck? The wife is 5’10” if that helps.
What’s the substitute? One of those beautiful 2024 $73,000 1794 Edition Tundra with all the bells and whistles. 3.99% financing for 60 months. The truck is amazing. I REALLY value technology.
So, after my book of a post, my questions is… would you suck it up another 2 years or bite the bullet and get the newest toy?
