If I had done that, I would have never gotten the firmware update to enable VRR support on my HDMI 2.1 ports…
- Comment on Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux 1 week ago:
More tvs need to support G-Sync and Freesync (like my Hisense) instead of just supporting the HDMI version of VRR (like my Sony…).

Isn’t getting at protected content pretty trivial anyway? At least that’s my impression from how easy it is to find basically anything.

Did my upgrade back in April. Got 64GB for $240. Now I checked the price on the same kit… $700. Just crazy.

Damnit… it’s come full circle. Now I’m the dad, and saying the same thing to my 3yo when he turns the light on as he gets in his car seat.

My wife is also a dental hygienist, and she has never once sent me any horrific shit…. So I don’t think that’s a trait necessarily tied to the occupation, lol

While the Joke is that that’s definitely not a tomato plant…
Apparently tomato’s can do something like this if you fertilize with the wrong formula (I.e. high nitrogen).
Tried growing some tomatoes myself for the first time this year… gave em the same fertilizer I was giving everything else, and they exploded with green growth into a giant bush, but never produced a single tomato. A few flowers would bloom, it’d get some small green ones, then they’d just fall right off the bush a day latter.
- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 1 month ago:
Except everyone uses crap bit rates and compression on their streaming content and it really doesn’t look that much better than 1080p. UHD Blu Rays tho are a totally different story, absolutely outclassing lower res content.

I my town, we just had the peak graduating class in terms of number of students. From this point forward, at least as far as we have data on (which would be around 4 or 5 year olds entering the school system) there will be fewer people graduating every single year.
Our number of 18 year olds has peaked

Well, mp3s are crap. I’m sure if they had built a collection around flacs, they wouldn’t feel this way.
- Comment on Google says adblockers caused YouTube views count to drop - this is what adblockers told us really happened 2 months ago:
The decline was very sudden, almost instantaneous, and can be traced back to the exact date a block list, used by most major desktop ad blockers, added the YouTube View Counter API endpoint to their list.
But sure… nothing to do with ad blockers.

This is not at all what happened. Maybe try reading the article next time.

As someone who used matplotlib a lot in grad school, those overlapping xticks without rotation really bother me.

I’m no lawyer, but wouldn’t that basically open them up to an instant win for anyone who files lawsuits against them?

I dunno I’ve still yet to see ads. Between Smart Tube Next on my TV, Firefox with uBlock origin on my computer, and AdGuard + Vinegar on my phone, nothing gets through, even with their latest efforts.

I just hate being near those things in general. Pass as quick as possible and create some space.
- Comment on Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says 3 months ago:
N64 game prices were $60-75 back when the console came out in 1996… so no, they’ve been static for almost 3 decades.

You just turn it inside out and wash with cold water and soap when needed. Then dry in the sun.

Ah, yeah makes sense
- Comment on Apple customers are paying 16 times more for a chinese product sold 25 bucks 7 months ago:
But commenter is right. Just cuz it’s in the same city doesn’t mean it’s the same quality. If they’re made with the same components, that’d carry more weight than simply being made in the same city.

On the back of the GFI the ports will be labeled, line or load. Line goes to the breaker box, load goes to all outlets you need protected.

The bidet outlet just needs to be on the load side of the GFI.
