Game consoles never used to have those features either. 😉 That’s the trick, you need a set that supports modern console features.
HDR management being a good one. The game developers encoded HDR to make a game look a specific way, you don’t want a set that either over-rides it and does it’s own, similarly you don’t want a dumb set that doesn’t support HDR.

All that BS is more beneficial to gaming than a generic TV, especially if your focus is low lag.
- Comment on Question on TV's 1 hour ago:
It varies model to model and year to year, but in general you want a television with either a “Game” mode or “ALLM” (Auto Low Latency Mode).
So on the LG C5 model that’s popular right now:
www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-oled65c5pua-oled-4k-tv
VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) - Yes (Up to 144Hz)
ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) - Yes
FreeSync™ - Yes
Game Optimizer - Yes
G-Sync Compatible (Nvidia) - Yes
HGIG Mode - Yes (disables the TV tone mapping and allows the game to control HDR - “HDR Gaming Interest Group”)

I get it, I’m the introvert too, but it helps to understand where they are coming from…
For them, these inane conversations are likely their pressure/stress release. Medical gigs can be pretty high pressure and everyone reacts to that differently.
I’ve only witnessed it from the patient side, but I get where it’s coming from.
When I had my first heart attack, it was just after Thanksgiving and the cardiac ward was decorated for Thanksgiving. They had these “Guess the heart rythm” charts made out of tinsel, and I got to see them all as I walked the ward after surgery.
(Bonus, immediately after open heart surgery they make you get up and walk around multiple times a day.)
The chart right by the nurses station? I wish I had taken a photo of it… tinsel flatline ending in an angel. LOL.

Oh, it absolutely is, AND they have many times the population of lemmy, AND they vote, AND they are largely misinformed.
We have an election here on Tuesday, there is only one thing to vote on, a property tax measure to support the local parks measure.
OMG the amount of bad information floating around on this!
You can deprogram some people, but getting people to understand that they are being lied to when they spout nonsense like “ZOMG! Property taxes going up 75%!!!” is a tall hill to climb.
- Comment on Recommend that new users join geographically local instances 1 day ago:
If the goal is “reviving democracy”, you need to go where the people are and that’s not the Fediverse.
That means sticking your toe in the local Facebook/Next Door and that can be problematic for a whole host of other reasons.
- Comment on Grieving daughter of cruise ship passenger left behind on remote Australian island says ‘there was a failure of care’ 2 days ago:
“Mum felt ill on the hill climb. She was asked to head down, unescorted. Then the ship left, apparently without doing a passenger count.”
First, taking an 80 year old on a hill climb is unwise, but when they feel ill, asking them to go back without an escort is a little more than “failure of care”.

Definitely. You’re giving the surveilance state placement though.

Worth noting that Ring has announced a partnership with Flock.

So if you’re in the Ring ecosystem, maybe time to re-consider.

One of our biggest bookstores contracted with a local artist for some merch. That artist used AI with predictable results. Now everyone involved is getting raked over the coals for it.
No surprise, they just announced a 4th round of layoffs too. 😟

- Comment on Largest study of its kind shows AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time – regardless of language or territory 1 week ago:
I wish they had broke it out by AI. The article states:
“Gemini performed worst with significant issues in 76% of responses, more than double the other assistants, largely due to its poor sourcing performance.”
But I don’t see that anywhere in the linked PDF of the “full results”.
This sort of study should also be re-done from time to time to track AI version numbers.

I wonder how many people were layed off multiple times?
Your studio closes, you go to another studio which gets merged in with another. That kind of thing?

I’m amazed that these shady chatbot apps aren’t getting sued to death. I see ads all the time for Simpsons, Family Guy, Incredibles characters and I’m like “Disney is going to murder you.”

Anyone can print them so I’m sure someone is trying to make a profit on them. Barnes & Noble has their own store editions of a lot of them and even some non-public domain stuff.
- Comment on PS6 and next Xbox console are both aiming for 2027 release, separate reports claim | VGC 2 weeks ago:
Good luck with the tarriffs…
The last time a console generation lined up with a giant economic crisis we got the Kinect and PlayStation Move instead and a proper console release was delayed until 2013.
I could see this being pushed to 2030, easy, if it happens at all.

The last Target I was at only had Xbox games in their clearance section and they were last years sporto titles, nothing current.
Small selection of Playstation and Switch games.
