the login / password system is still garbage.   I have to log in twice every time, first time always says my password is wrong.

It also doesn't save passwords when you change it by answering the security question.

I also had to use my phone to email myself the password to update the password, it then failed the first time to update pw,  I had to go back and try again. 

So to recap, security questions don't work. Email system is buggy at best. Always have to login twice.

Happy Birthday §ôµÏG®ïñD.

sorry for this late birthday greetings as i overslept today to make up for not getting enough sleep days prior.  yesterday and today i overslept more than enough to make up for several days prior where i didn't get enough sleep.  i rather overslept than under slept any day.  i didn't practice martial arts for 6 days straight and today i was finally able to practice that one move at the park today in the afternoon, not long after i woke up from sleep.

the previous 6 days i wasn't able to practice were either due to not getting enough sleep, or suffer from depression, or there are too many people at the park especially at the spot where i practice that i got shy and didn't practice there that day.  either that or when i got home from the park or from the gym, i didn't bother practicing it at the front yard either because either there was a person in a van that didn't left yet that day or 1 or more people at the walkway at the side of our front yard or there are people at the other side of the street that i got shy and didn't bother practicing.

getting more than enough sleep today and being able to practice 1 move of martial arts at the park makes me very happy today.  thanks goodness.  after i got home from the park, i had late brunch and then took like 2 1/2 hours of nap where i was half asleep and half awake there. and then afterward just went through all of your old birthday threads before i made a new one tonight.

anyway, on the 2nd music video, i think the 2nd girl from the left and the last girl from the left has wider range of vocal than the other 2 girls.  i think this music could sound even better if they sing in wider range but the other 2 girl vocal ranges are limited though so its understandable.

so §ôµÏG®ïñD, what did you do and get on your birthday?  how are you btw?

Happy Birthday SirMystiq.

sorry for the late birthday greetings as i didn't sleep until a little over midnight today and didn't get up until a little over 1 p.m.  i didn't get enough sleep yesterday and days prior so oversleeping today make up for it and i was still like 4 hours and 20 minutes short of sleep though.

went to the park afterward and didn't bother practicing 1 move of martial arts since i still feel tired and sleepy.  got home and laid down for over 2 hours half awake and half asleep there.  then my middle brother got home and took me to the gym and he went to costco afterward buying food as i was in his car listening to music and enjoying it as i wait for him.

Then we got home, planned on practicing that 1 move of martial arts at our front yard but there was someone in a van in the side of our front yard that didn't either get off the van and leave nor drove off so i decided not to practice martial arts today.  so its been 3 days since i last practice martial arts.  its okay though.

oh, i would like to say i added another videogame music here since the 1st song is pretty short.

so SirMystiq, what did you do and get on your birthday?  how are you btw?

Happy Birthday to Me, Paul2.

i would like to say that on the 2nd video, i think both the girls on the left and on the right vocal range is limited though.  the girl in the middle has somewhat better range, especially her lower register, so her range is good overall but all 3 girls in this video sing in flatter and limited range on this song.  otherwise the song might sounds much better if only both the girls on the left and right side have much better range.  the girl in the middle probably doesn't want to out sings the other 2 girls though i think.

Yeah. There was a class action lawsuit. I forget what exactly it was about. I got a small gift card for it lol. I actually forgot I had it. It's like a digital one or something. Then Facebook had that whole Cambridge Analytica thing happen like 10 years ago they still haven't fully recovered from.

yeah.  about 5 years ago, samsung sells 89" microled tv in 4k for $100,000.  Samsung managed to shrink down the leds to 89" in 4k there.  maybe that means samsung is the first company to managed to shrink it down to 89" 4k microled tv there which is under 100".  Not sure if other companies manage to shrink it down to under 100" screen sizes beside samsung though.  but it does sounds promising.  hopefully that also means much cheaper than $100,000 for the 89" by now or in a few years from now.

sony first sold the world first oled tv in 11" in 540p in late 2007 and early 2008 for $2,500.  it has comes a long way since then and now you can get 4k oled tv in 10 bit color and 120 Hz with HDR in 77" say like the lg 77" C5 for under $2,000 which still cheaper than the world first oled tv.

i am also very satisfied with my oled tv too but my middle brother scratched my oled tv when he was angry at my mom yelling at her that he became violence and that he accidently scratched the upper right and middle right side of my precious oled tv in early september 2025 which is over 7 months ago.  There are 2 scratch marks there.  when watching tv, i couldn't see the scratch marks though sitting about 3 feet away and beside i am near sighted.

nearly a year prior to that, i could see a small row of line of color banding on the upper screen and a small column of line of color banding on the left side of the screen too.  i also noticed some dead pixels mostly at the edges of the screen too.  when i first notice the black dots on the right edge of the screen a few years prior to that, i thought they were dust until a few years later after i noticed the color bandings on top of the screen and on the left side of the screen, i tried to wipe the dots on the edges of the screen (and also notice all 4 sides of the edge of the screen have black dots on it) but it didn't come off, so i realized they were dead pixels.

my suspicion was my oldest brother when he was alive probably squeezes the whole 4 sides of the screen looking for the power button to turn on the tv so he can watch porn in it when i was away from home not long after i bought the oled tv.  he squeezed the edges of the screen so hard that it probably broke the screen somewhat that it caused it to have a small row of color banding on top and a small column of color banding on the left side of the screen and caused some dead pixels around the edges of the screen too.  that was probably over 5 years ago.  i hid the tv remote control when he was alive though.  its been so long but i think i also hid the 4k blu-ray player's remote control too during those time.

around that time, i suspect that he also dented the center lower right side of the 4k blu-ray player cover that i hooked up to my 4k oled tv.  maybe he tried to look for ways to turn on the 4k blu-ray player in hoping it will turn on the tv so he can watch porn there or something like that.

but i try to live with it.  it does makes me tempted to upgrade to another oled tv but even if i did bother upgrading to a new oled tv, i am afraid sooner or later either my brother or my mom or anybody might ruined it in one way or another so i try to live with it for a few more years to decide if i want to upgrade or not.

I'm sure the technology will improve and shrink. Remember how expensive OLED was in the early 2010s? A 13 inch screen was thousands and thousands of dollars. I'm interested in seeing where this goes. I'm very satisfied with my OLED (just played Halo 4 on it on my Xbox 360 and it looked absolutely amazing) but curious to see if this shrinks down.
