- Comment on ICANN approves use of .internal domain for your network 3 months ago:
I’ve also used .local but .local could imply a local neighborhood. The word itself is based on “location”. Maybe a campus could be .local but the smaller networks would be .internal
Or, maybe they want to not confuse it with link-local or unique local addresses. Though, maybe all .internal networks should be using local addresses?

You file your taxes under a special SSN that begins with a 9 that is given to you by the IRS specifically for filing.

I looked up the numbers a while back but this 2017 study says at least 50%, meaning the majority pay taxes.

Also, note that only 59.9% of households pay taxes, which means legal status that is important in terms of whether people pay taxes or not. They also won’t likely get any social security money either.

- Comment on Why OLED monitor burn-in isn’t a huge problem anymore 1 year ago:
NU7400 has a peak of 337 nits and that with the poorer contrast ratio of LCD. My LG C1 is 780 nits. I still find it a bit weak with the lights on so I can’t imagine 330 on LCD.
Yeah, HDR is meant to be watched in a 5-nit environment, but sometimes that’s just not reasonable. While my LG is technically better, bright TV shows like Rings of Power are more enjoyable with the 1500 nits my TCL can output. Once that ABL (Automatic Brightness Limiter) kicks in for the OLED, you absolutely need the blackout curtains.
- Comment on Why OLED monitor burn-in isn’t a huge problem anymore 1 year ago:
I have both:
-
an 85" TCL R655 with a bunch of dimming zones that works great in my sunlight-heavy living room for both daytime viewing and family movie night.
-
a 55" LG C1 in my gaming/home-office/theater room with blackout curtains that is great for PC gaming and awesome theater experience.
I would say it depends on your viewing environment. The inability of an OLED to get bright can ruin the experience. But my game room has blackout curtains and it’s enclosed.
I just recently moved from 34" Ultrawide to just mounting the 55" onto my desk. It’s oversized for my viewing distance, but 4K resolution is 8million pixels so I rarely run apps in or near fullscreen anymore. I think a 42" LG OLED is perfect for PC.
If you’re worried about burn-in on PC, just set a screensaver to black your screen in 2 to 5 minutes. That’s why they were invented anyway. For regular media consumption it’s a non-issue.

The TL;DR is now pixels get tracked for how long they’ve been lit. Then the device can evenly burn out the other pixels so the usage is uniform. The trade off is you are going to lose max brightness in the name of screen uniformity.
Just hope that this compensation cycle actually runs since some panels just fail to run them. But what most people think is burn-in, actually is not, and is solved by these TV processes.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is meh to me. I acknowledge it’s technical, narrative, and gameplay achievements. I can’t get into it.

Accessibility is horrible without JS. You should be modifying ARIA tags heavily as the user interacts with the page. I tried to write pages with no JS and realized the needs of the a11y group heavily outweighs the noScript group.
- Comment on But my WiFi is just fine! 1 year ago:
Packet loss really, and the latency and jitter said loss can contribute to.
Radio waves go faster (speed of light) than through a medium (copper). Not that it matters at such a small scale, but it’s helpful to have a good picture of the elements at work here. The further you are from the receiving point, the more obstacles (matter) that can obstruct it. But in ideal conditions WiFi is better than most people think. Replicating those ideal conditions though…
