  • The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K

    Jump

  • There’s barely any actual 4K content you can consume.

    Ironically there actually is if you bother pirating content because that's the only crowd that will share full 4k Dolby Vision + Dolby Atmos/DTS-X BluRay rips.

    Aside from that though, even 4k gaming is a struggle because GPU vendors went into the deep end of frame generation, which also coincidentally is the same mistake lots of TV OEMs already made.

  • I would like to go to there

  • Real ones remember when Panasonic (home appliances) used to be called National.

  • Preference

  • tbf to this thread, wayland wasn't really viable until 2023.

    I made an existing comment on this that people didn't like because I pointed out that most of Wayland's "modern upgrades" like VRR, HDR, etc were unimplemented or unfinished for years. Even HDR is still "beta" on KDE iirc.

    People also like to pretend the triple buffer wasn't a can of worms for many users for a very long time (and still is on low power devices).

  • The Democrats are the undisputed masters of gaslighting

  • SuperPACs became a thing because they couldn't even handle PACs.

    if we gave them the chance.

    Is the problem with your whole idea. They don't have an incentive to change anything, and they certainly won't pass a constitutional amendment without a significant amount of pressure from constituents.

    The whole point of voting Biden was to undo what Trump did. and ensure he was properly prosecuted for his crimes. He half assed both and then refused to step down for a primary despite being unpopular.

  • ‘It’s not too late to fix it’: internet inventor Tim Berners-Lee says he is in a ‘battle for the soul of the web’

    Jump

  • WWW has been a complete crapshow ever since it started simply because it became popular.

    It was designed to serve documents over the internet, except everyone co-opted for their own needs like websites, APIs, etc.

    That left us with broken as hell crap at every layer from the joke that is HTML/CSS, the clownshow that is HTTP, and the circus that is JavaScript.

    And don't even get the started on the mountain of vulnerabilities being stupid obvious crap that wouldn't dare to fly in even basic GNU utilities at the time.

    Adding insult to injury, this guy hasn't even provided a valid solution to this mess like hyphanet or the very newly released freenet.

    Which by the way tries to hack cheat the system with WebAssembly so that it doesn't have to deal with HTTPS directly since its an exclusive client server protocol.

  • China pitches itself as a reliable partner as Trump alienates US allies

    Jump

  • The core difference, arguably only with the US, are individual freedoms like speech, religion, armament, etc.

    Even though the US is currently trampling all over the bill of rights, it isn't something that can be easily ignored or covered up. Protest can and will still happen all the time.

    China heavily values cohesion over individuality, so the only "free speech" you get to usually witness is scrutinized before it ever reaches you, and everyone is aware that the government actively covers up issues.

    Aside from that, China is miles ahead of the US in development, infrastructure, and their economy. Most of the US complaints over China are hypocritical as you say, or only exist due to the US viewing China as a military an economic threat.

    A lot of people would probably be happy to give up those freedoms in exchange for social stability and quality of life if they were given the option.

  • Venezuela’s acting president says she has had “enough” of US orders

    Jump

  • Its currently a proposal that was passed in the NA, and they're debating over whether they should reduce the 30% royalties for certain situations.

    Would not be surprised if it gets passed by the president.

  • RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously!

    Jump

  • I bought one of these 64GB packs for less than $50 not even a year ago

  • after every cd

    Jump

  • People talking about history without mentioning the laziest answer is to use an alias, which bash usually has ll = la -la or my personal preference is ll = ls -lAh (list + Everything except . and .. + human readable file size)

  • Featured

    [Non comic] Increase of bot accounts

    Jump

  • If lemmy had a shared tag system, and easier way would be for automod to tag new users and auto delete posts from users that delete themselves.

    That way everyone would know its a new user posting and could just choose to take the post with skepticism.

  • How/why does Microsoft teams exist?

    Jump

  • why/how do these guys design a product this way

    Its just one of many business applications that MSFT provides as you get vendor locked into the Windows platform.

    Technically it was the successor to skype for business, and skype itself was its own product that was acquired by MSFT.

    It doesn't matter how crappy it is because MSFT can sell it to you as part of a complete package with stuff like Azure, M365, etc, and you would find it annoying to pay extra for a better platform like Slack.

    Does it mean Microsoft can keep running any app which necessarily doesn’t appear on my task manager?

    iirc it shouldn't be hidden in task manager but it might be easier to use process explorer from sysinternals: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer

    Haven't touched hot garbage windows in a long time so I don't remember if teams has a non obvious process that runs in the background.

  • OnePlus update blocks downgrades and custom ROMs by blowing a fuse

    Jump

  • I don't know why this thread is complaining specifically about Chinese OEMs when Samsung has been doing this for years.

  • Venezuela’s acting president says she has had “enough” of US orders

    Jump

  • "This is totally unacceptable. Venezuela would never take threats and orders from the United States. We maintain our sovereignty against such an audacious adversary. Anyway in unrelated news, we are opening up the oil industry to privatization to help stir the economy. I can assure you this idea was 100% of our own making and has absolutely nothing to do with American demands."

  • Peter Thiel comes to Paris to speak about the Antichrist

    Jump

  • I made a half joke last year that the antichrist would probably be an AI model that convinces people to worship it.

    And here he is saying that's totally not going to happen.

    Seems legit lol.

  • Good job, Reddit!

    Jump

  • Aside from the cloudflare stat tracker, probably just a false positive JS match from quick fixes.

  • Trump says US forces used ‘Discombobulator’ energy weapon during Venezuela raid

    Jump

  • Sound awfully similar to the gonculator from Hogan's Heroes.

    This whole fiasco also sounds awfully similar to the pilot episode of Mission Impossible. Except without the nukes.

  • Why doesn't it feel as classy?

    Jump

  • Okay fair but do you know anyone who actually used D-VHS lol.

  • I lied, my game crashing issue is still not fixed.

    Jump

  • I'm still crap at deciphering wine logs, but it doesn't seem to show anything out of the ordinary.

    Assuming this is a driver issue, have you tried or are you using akmod-nvidia-open: https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA#Kernel_Open (example for Fedora)

    I think some distros still have them split into 2 alternative packages.

    Otherwise, do a heavy ram test with memtest86+ (booted) to check your XMP profile and RAM sticks are good based on your previous post.

  • VHS next to DVD on a CRT is why lol.

    Good sound fidelity is easier to reach on a vinyl record than good video fidelity on magnetic tape. Hence why even old TV shows that were shot on film look great on modern TVs, but their tape counterparts look dated.

    That all being said, VHS has inherently more sentimental value due to its widespread use for personal and home video. Anyone still using vinyl is either a hobbyist, collector, or moronic audiophile who can't cope with stuff like opus or even flac/wav.

  • Alright, y'all were right, fuck Proton. This was the last straw for me.

    Jump

  • I tried protonmail not for the privacy purpose but just to have a normal web email client.

    After wasting an hour before finding out you can't disable the "sent from protonmail" footer without manually deleting it in each draft you make, I said screw it and deployed my own email server with stalwart lol.

    It's receive only because outgoing SMTP is a pain to make reliable these days and my ISP blocks outgoing SMTP anyway, but for everything else I now use Thunderbird.
