  • Sony’s TV business is being taken over by TCL

    Jump

  • Sony TVs are absolute garbage devices designed by actual morons, with the worst customer support in the industry.

    Back when the PS5 came out, they advertised their Bravia TVs specifically for its support for the PS5 and its feature set. I spent something like $1,200 for a Bravia x900H which at the time was very highly reviewed. When the PS5 released shortly after, we had to wait months for Sony to actually release drivers to support the PS5 features promised like VRR and 4k/120hz, and when they finally did the monkeys paw finger curled. If you turn VRR on, it disables local dimming. This is important because those panels look like dogshit without local dimming. So right off the bat you have to choose between a smooth picture, and a good looking picture.

    As for 4k/120, they cheaped out on the MediaTek processor so it can’t actually do native 4k/120. Turning it on halves the horizontal resolution to 1080, and then it crudely upscales it back up causing a now infamous blurry mess to the picture.

    Those are just the problems that affect everyone due to design flaws and false advertising. But on a more luck-of-the-draw level, when I bought mine brand new, it had significant backlight bleed. I was upgrading from a $150 Costco LCD and I swear to you the picture on the Sony was actually worse. 25% of the screen was permanently tinted blue the bleed was so bad. No problem I thought, I just bought the thing brand new, these things happen with LED panels from time to time, I’ll call Sony and RMA the thing. But after a week of arguing with Sony’s outsourced support, they refused to honor the warranty. According to them backlight bleed is expected and no matter how bad it is, they don’t cover it under warranty. So whether or not your Sony TV is even functional as a TV is simply luck of the draw.

  • Their early “4k/120s” weren’t even actually 4k/120. Enabling 120hz refresh rates on early Bravias would cut horizontal resolution in half, and then crudely attempt to upscale it.

  • Why are people still romanticizing No Man’s Sky’s “redemption” arc?

    Jump

  • I agree, and a big part of that is that everything they’ve added over the years just feels bolted-on.

    I tried to give it a shot a little while back and tried to do one of the things that was initially promised you could do, be a trader. Pretty standard space game fare. Only to find out it’s a pretty pointless and broken experience because the way you do interstellar trade in that game is by putting goods in your pockets and walking through portals that exist in every single space station. You never even get in your ship lol.

    The game still just feels like a tech demonstration of a bunch of disparate systems that fail to integrate with eachother in any meaningful way. They’ve made the puddle much wider over the years but their outright refusal to make it any deeper is absolutely nuts.

  • The OP’s scenario is doing this while parked. While you’re driving it wouldn’t matter so much because there are only so many words somebody can hear when you pass them at 24-45mph

  • Hard drive prices have surged by an average of 46% since September — iconic 24TB Seagate BarraCuda now $500 as AI claims another victim

  • Because the opposite is true. AI uses spinning rust far, far more than it does solid state storage.

  • My website was down; because I didn't pay the server bill

  • A simple low traffic website doesn’t even need anything close to symmetric fiber. Your run-of-the-mill shitty cable internet usually gives you 15-30mbps. Thats more than enough unless your site is really popping off.

  • Hytale is OUT NOW in early access!

    Jump

  • From what I’ve gleaned from the history of this project, the original creator of the game sold the IP to a publisher in order to secure money and resources for further development, where they promptly started interfering with development to the point that it was delayed and ultimately cancelled.

    The creator bought the rights back from them and released it into Early Access so that they can fund its development.

    I personally have nothing against early access games after playing other EA games like Factorio, Rimworld, and Satisfactory that were known for being incredible experiences long before they launched into 1.0.

  • Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why

    Jump

  • No if you download the local copies back then delete them from OneDrive, OneDrive will delete the local copies you restored to your computer.

    It’s also important to note that the users aren’t “Using OneDrive” intentionally, so they aren’t even aware that there are steps they’d need to reverse.

    The issue isn’t the users at all. The issue is that Microsoft has a software that takes files off your computer without permission and puts them on their computers. And then make sure it’s obtuse to safely get them back.

  • Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why

    Jump

  • Oh no it’s far worse than that. Essentially what happens is One Drive takes over your entire home holder, and then makes the copy in OneDrive the original. People try to disable OneDrive and then delete the copies in the cloud, only to find out OneDrive will then delete the local copies from your computer.

  • This will not take off until their native apps release and support self hosted rooms.

  • Self-hosting in 2026 isn't about privacy anymore - it's about building resistance infrastructure

    Jump

  • It is a skill much like maintaining a car yourself, or your own lawn/garden.

    It’s pretty easy to get started, and there are certain ways of doing things that keep it pretty simple forever, at the cost of some flexibility.

    But no matter how you do it, there will be a non-zero amount of work involved indefinitely. Just like you need your cars oil changed, your garden mulched and weeded, or your server patched and cleaned up once in awhile.

  • 'Microslop' is heading for Edge – major browser redesign is inspired by Copilot, and it's already seriously unpopular

  • Actually Edge prior to this was a fine browser. Like a lightweight chrome. It was actually just good enough to not really make you want to install a new browser unless it was your daily driver personal PC.

  • mTLS is the more common name these days.

  • Wouldn’t the typical conception of self being centered around the head be due to the fact that that’s where all of our memories are stored, bodily signals are sent to instructions to the body are sent from, where emotions are processed, and cognition is generated?
