OP went through 40 days of this?

Man I love this place.

 

[Sleepwalker]

This could have easily been solved by posting the picture and acting in a respectful manner in the first place, I doubt anyone wouldve made fun of him if so.

Another example of why you should never go full retard.

This lady looks like she could easily smuggle 350 Switch games in her bra, no questions about it.

I understood that reference gif. Wait a minute, I'm the OP of that thread!

 

[El Muerto]

Op right now

 

[Bernoulli]

When he said the message was still there when turning off the Xbox I knew it was the TV

 

[LordOfChaos]

Probably until the heat death of the universe, if I didn't manually switch to HDMI 3 ARC and back to HDMI 1 (XBX). Never seen this before. It would have have just stayed there if I didn't switch inputs. And it keeps appearing, even with what what the system is telling me is the latest update. Quality engineering all around. I'm starting to hope this is their last go around with dedicated hardware, save for whatever ARM based bandwidth wasting junk they eventually release that I will comfortably avoid like the plague.

As for everything else, there are no error codes, I will attempt the system cache clearing without losing games (what are the odds that actually performs as intended?) when I get back in the system. I appreciate the replies.

Err, how are you expecting the Xbox to power an error code on screen forever without a power source? Something's not making sense to me. Like I said it's possible capacitors could power the message for a short while but they run dry fast.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Guys, it can happen to the best of us

 

[adamsapple]

Op right now

 

[Facism]

So the guy calling out others mongoloids and questioning intellects just dont know how to update his TV ? ... oh god please be true loool

Fr though I've been called a mongoloid in a racist attack because of my ethnic background, so no surprise this dude is thicker than pig-shit lmao

 

[Pedro Motta]

This wouldn't happen with a Playstation.

The funny part is that if it indeed powered the message until the heat death of the universe then would be the very definition of 'Quality engineering all around'.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Mother fucking Micro$oft can make magic no power electrons that move through reality and phase into your TV to give warning messages without any power. THEN WHY WAS RED RING 360???!

 

[AV]

Oh, we like this

[BlackTron]

I can sympathise with the OP. Recently I moved my PC to a new room and needed a much longer cable for the monitor, so I thought I'd treat myself to a super high-end HDMI cable.

Ripped open the packaging, hooked it up to the graphics card,, moved furniture to hide the wires, went to plug it into the monitor... then realised my monitor required a Displayport cable, not HDMI.

I have a similar story, only I didn't need to move any furniture around, and the surprise was that my monitor doesn't support 120hz over HDMI. Only DisplayPort.

The purpose of the console was to play a game at 120 using my monitor...so I got a HDMI to DP cable which worked...but I failed to account for the fact that DP doesn't carry audio. Further hilarity ensued...

Man old consoles were way better with their multiple outputs. You'd never be scratching your head wondering how to get sound out of a PS3.

 

[Dacvak]

Oh man, I was bummed earlier because today is the last day of my vacation, but this thread absolutely makes up for it.

Thank you, OP.

 

[GametimeUK]

I blame Gamepass.

 

[CherryFalls]

OP needs to come back and humble himself

No way, people still would of mocked him, I mean it sounds like he ended up buying a "Smarter than me TV"

 

[MarkMe2525]

This wouldn't happen with a Playstation.

The Playstation would have updated his tv, platinumed Sekiro, and fucked his girl.

Judging by the clouding its a pretty low end tv to make it worse lol

 

[DragoonKain]

This makes me feel right at home because my friend is technologically illiterate. Like, he knows nothing about how to operate anything, and he'll always call me with the most captain obvious questions where I'm like seriously? I go through an episode with him like this once a month.

 

[AV]

What's the over/under on a double down? Some sort of "how was I possibly supposed to know"

 

[Blitzmangoman]

OP trying to get back into the thread.

 

[THE DUCK]

Op, don't let it get you down, we all make mistakes.

 

[Chukhopops]

Be proud OP, this is the best thread of the year so far.

The moment I saw that second image was just magical.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

I updated Chrome, but I get notifications I'm still not up to date with the latest firmware.

Oh wait, that's for Windows!

 

[Dacvak]

Op, don't let it get you down, we all make mistakes.

I can only imagine he’s been wanting to reply but can’t figure out how to update his unplugged keyboard

I have a retarded friend with assbergers disease who’s similar.
He understands basic technology and what role it plays, but is otherwise clueless.

He recently called me because he needs a “sound wire to connect to his new PS5”

I told him dude, it’s just HDMI for video and audio.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Xbox installed spyware at your TV to warn you about updates!

Technology is a funny thing.

My dad is in his 80s and only started using PCs when the internet got popular around 2000. Even to this day. he's still bad at using PCs and the net and will even call me or my siblings every once in a while when the printer is blinking, and he's panicking something bad will happen.

But since he's got a background in engineering, even to this day when it comes to fixing stuff, wiring, understanding all the cables that go to TV/DVD/VHS players, rabbit ears antenna (yes he cancelled cable and got rabbit ears) he's a pro. I remember him trying to teach us the history and differences between AC and DC power. But ask him to fiddle around with software using a mouse to change, update or right click this or that and he has zero clue and gets nervous he'll break the program. lol

 

[nush]

Hey Op,

 

[Viruz]

Actual proof that owning an Xbox lowers IQ.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Lmfao, best thread backfire I've ever seen. OP is never recovering from this burn

 

[Kamina]

 

[Self_Destructive]

LMFAO thank you! I needed this laugh today

 

[thief183]

Maybe this will teach him a small lession, asking for help and then insulting everyone intelligence is not the best idea.

 

[cjp]

Did you see the arrogance on this dude? He won’t feel no shame.

He deserves every ounce of mockery.

 

[Pedro Motta]

That happened to you?

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

 

[MarkMe2525]

I don't like to talk about it.

I don't like to talk about it.

Those haptics man. They knew what they were creating.
