  • TIL personal credit scores only started in 1989

    Jump

  • Credit scores didn’t exist but credit bureaus date back to the mid 1800s in the USA. Also, as others have mentioned creditors would do their due diligence and try to assert that you would be able to pay back your loans by doing many of the same things they do now.

    This really isn’t some new, crazy concept like you’re making it out to be. The score has only simplified the process.

  • uh.. that’s exactly how it worked. The Wikipedia page you linked mentions credit bureaus. If you go to that page you can see they were established in the USA by the mid 1800s. Yes, it was all done on paper. That’s how the world used to work.

  • Linux Developers To Meet Again To Work On HDR, Color Management & VRR

    Jump

  • Thanks for the tip. I might have to try that. It was working mostly fine one day (no VRR) and then it was completely broken the next. :(

  • VRR isn’t supported by default by most distros. Just because it works with your setup doesn’t mean it works for others.

    Also, this event seems to be primarily focused on AMD/Mesa support.

  • Err.. no it doesn’t. There are so many bug reports of neither HDR nor VRR working properly with the steam deck. My deck won’t even dock properly with my TV after recent updates.

    It’s better than most other linuxes in the sense that it works sometimes I guess.

  • Yes! Now I get to continue enjoying the fruits of unpaid labor. Even better I’ll be able to complain about every niche issue I have without ever contributing anything. Woohoo!

  • We need to be very careful with news outlets that focus on science hype. Often times they’re jumping to conclusions based on poorly written papers that have yet to be peer reviewed and reproduced.

    Just take a look at the homepage of this website. They post several times a day with much of it being obvious clickbait backed by very little journalistic integrity.

  • Buyers complain of burn-in on iPhone 15 Pro Max display

    Jump

  • Do you have any proof? Apple claims they’ve fixed these issues in iOS 17.1 which would again suggest that this is just soft image retention that that they weren’t accounting for well enough.

  • Buyers complain of burn-in on iPhone 15 Pro Max display

    Jump

  • Yes, it is but this isn’t it. I guarantee these displays are not permanently damaged so soon after launch. It usually takes thousands of hours of displaying the same image with max brightness to actually burn in a modern OLED panel.

  • Buyers complain of burn-in on iPhone 15 Pro Max display

    Jump

  • My understanding is that a lot of “burn in” with OLED screens isn’t permanent. The quote accurately calls it “image retention” because the image is temporarily retained but the screen will go back to normal. It also points out that this type of thing happens under niche circumstances. Almost like people are trying to make this happen.

  • Is there a more politically conservative part of the fediverse?

  • YouTube is not a news source my friend. A lot of the “experts” you’ll find on there have zero credibility.
