Maybe it's time to stop hating on HP?

Hate is an incredibly intense emotion. Hate implies that you want to see the object of that emotion ended at all costs, be it the weather, your nemesis, or that untrained dog next door that barks through the night at nothing and everything. Hate is consuming, hate is destroying, hate is by and large wholly counterproductive. Hate is simply not good.

It has been thirteen months since

in . It was a fit that was utterly destructive to the future of webOS and the community as a whole, and those who work on and with the operating system for a living and those of us who for various reasons care about webOS have slowly recovering from that most improvident decision. Heck, HP's been struggling to recover from the decision, having been forced to and in the process.

Yet still, well over a year after the ax fell and the planned future of webOS was shunted to the side, I still find on a regular basis hate towards HP. The words still ring out in the comments and the forums, "I hate HP!" and "Damn you HP!" and so forth. HP as a company has changed in many ways since August 2011, not the least of which includes a new CEO in Meg Whitman to replace the failed and disastrous tenure of her predecessor, Leo Apotheker.

      LG SC9S Soundbar Keeps Dropping eARC Audio on LG UP77 TV (Have to Reboot TV Each Time)
      By Pranay Mokida
      Issue
      Whenever I start any video—whether it’s streaming apps, HDMI input, or a USB movie—the SC9S plays for a minute or two, then suddenly loses connection. Audio instantly falls back to the TV’s internal speakers, and the TV acts like the soundbar no longer exists on the eARC port. The soundbar display still shows “eARC” (sometimes flips to “OPT/ARC” for a second), but no sound.
      Temporary Fix
      The only thing that gets audio back is power-cycling the TV (standby isn’t enough; full reboot required). After that, the bar reconnects… until the next random dropout. This can happen multiple times during a single movie, which is a great way to kill the vibe.
      What I’ve Tried
      New HDMI 2.1-certified cable (same result, so original cable seems fine).
      Disabled Quick Start+ and Simplink in the TV settings, then re-enabled.
      Factory-reset both TV and soundbar.
      Tested ARC instead of eARC—works, but no Atmos and same occasional dropout.
      Plugged the soundbar into a different power outlet (in case of power spike).
      Observed Patterns
      Dropouts happen sooner with Dolby Atmos or DTS content, but even stereo YouTube videos eventually cut out.
      No obvious heat buildup; bar is in open air, front facing.
      Happens whether soundbar is wall-mounted or on its stand.
      Questions for the Hive Mind
      Anyone else seeing eARC instability with the SC9S on the UP77 series?
      Could this be a handshake timing bug on the TV’s HDMI board?
      Any hidden service-menu tweaks or firmware betas worth trying?
      Should I just RMA the bar, or is the TV the real diva here?
      Appreciate any insight—my couch and I thank you in advance!

      LG Honored With Toyota’s “Excellent Value Improvement Award” for the First Time
      By News Reporter
      Company’s Outstanding Efforts in Delivery and Collaborative Cost Reduction
      Recognized by the World’s Largest Car Manufacturer

      SEOUL, April 22, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG), a mobility sector technology leader, has been awarded the 2024 Excellent Value Improvement Award by Toyota Motor North America (TMNA) for the first time. The award was presented at TMNA’s Annual Supplier Business Meeting in the U.S. This award recognizes LG’s contributions to component quality and technological innovation in Toyota’s largest market, North America.
      To determine the award winners, TMNA evaluates supplier performance based on key criteria such as technology and development, supplier diversity, value improvement, Value Analysis achievement, quality, launch and value chain promotion. LG was highly commended for its outstanding delivery and proactive support of cost innovation initiatives. The company’s commitment to on-time, high-quality supply chain management has ensured seamless operations for Toyota, while its collaborative approach to cost optimization prioritizes continuous improvement over simple price reductions. LG also excelled in Manufacturing Improvement, demonstrating resilience and operational excellence in the challenging post-pandemic landscape.
      LG has been a trusted partner of Toyota since supplying Navi-box components for its vehicles in 2011. This partnership expanded in 2019 to include advanced telematics solutions for TMNA. The LG Vehicle Solution Company leverages its expertise in 5G telematics technology to deliver advanced connectivity solutions tailored for the automotive industry. The company provides versatile telematics control units (TCUs) available in both standalone and integrated-antenna configurations. These TCUs feature cutting-edge capabilities, including 5G connectivity, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication and robust cybersecurity measures. Such innovations enable automakers to offer seamless connectivity, efficiently supporting the growing demands of connected and autonomous driving. Through close collaboration with global automakers, LG continues to drive innovation and reinforce its leadership position in automotive telematics.
      “LG’s commitment to collaboration and continuous improvement has been outstanding,” said Ryan Grimm, Group Vice President of TMNA R&D Purchasing Supplier Development. “We appreciate LG’s proactive approach to meeting our evolving needs and look forward to building on this strong foundation as we move forward together.”
      “This highly esteemed award validates our efforts in advancing automotive technology and underscores our commitment to collaboration and building customer trust,” said Brad Oh, president of LG Vehicle Solution USA. “Our advanced telematics solutions prioritize vehicle connectivity and safety, helping Toyota realize its vision for the future of mobility through cutting-edge technologies and continued partnership.”

      My Tv turns the screen off at specific time
      By Gene680
      It turns my channel off at random times exactly 11 minutes after the hour. I checked and double checked the settings looking for timers, etc. any fixes that I’m missing?  It’s when I’m streaming on Sling.
