Right? “Yeah, there is a scientific study about it, but what if I didn’t read it and go by feelings? Then I will be right and don’t have to reexamine shit about my life, isn’t that convenient”

If my quick calculations are correct, the 70 inches screen at 1080p has a pixel size of about 0.7 mm give or take, where 4k would be about 0.1-0.2.
0.1mm is a smallest size of a thing a human could potentially see under very strict conditions. A pixel smaller than a millimeter will be invisible from a meter away. I really, really doubt its humanly possible to see the difference from the distances a person would be watching tv.

The thing is, the newer 4k tvs are just built better, nicer colour contrast, more uniformed lighting, clearer glass, and that might be the effect you’re seeing

If you’re poor, just stop being poor

Those things cost money. Not a lot of people have those lying around this days

This video exactly explains the thing you’re missing about it

It doesn’t matter if you can disable it by cutting a wire, it’s the same amount of security in this case.
There were of course alarms that you couldn’t disable by cutting an obvious wire, just like there are smart alarms that you can’t actually hack easily.

Do you seriously think old alarms were unhackable?

Learn skills that will be easily transferable across countries. Look for a country you would like to live in, learn the language if necessary, research where they are hiring.
Do it before Trump’s third term, there will be a lot more chaos then

I absolutely don’t. Since we’re talking about bad cases anyway, I don’t trust a developer to be diligent in finding bugs in their code more than I believe they will try to make all the tests pass. And it’s easier and better for the ego to achieve that if you write shit tests that only cover cases that you know will work.

Devs are more invested in code they wrote themselves. When I’m writing tests for something I didn’t write, I’m less personally invested in it.

This, I think, is a very bad part of the problem and shouldn’t be happening regardless

My main problem with that, is that it actually doesn’t use the sources it lists. It does it sometimes, and other times the links have nothing to do with the generated text, and some of them might be also non existent, but because it’s not always wrong, it makes people complicit, nobody actually checks the sources, but believe it more because the links are there.

The issue is them adding it to your list without user’s input or even notification. This is unpleasant behaviour that shouldn’t be normal, even if this time there is no damage.

Thankfully it’s easy to remove yet. But this sneaky automatic addition is still annoying.

It’s not a search engine, it’s a random text generator disguised as an engine. It’s worse than Google, if you can believe it. We don’t need more shit that is worse than Google

Just like shovels existed before the gold rush and will exist after humanity’s death. But we have a saying for a reason

Oh believe me, it wasn’t just luck. They have special labs full of people who’s whole job is to find another unexplored niches that can buy their cards. And they only make specific single purpose cards only when the market is mature enough to justify the spending, which is also smart.

Nvidia are very smart in that regard, ethics aside. Very early on they decided that selling cards to gamers will not give them the infinite growth everyone so desperately desire, so they started looking for what does, and they were consistent at it ever since. Every tech bubble of the recent history is powered by Nvidia cards. How much they contributed to the hype (and damage) is not entirely clear, but that’s not zero for sure

Capitalism’s biggest lie is that people have freedom to chose what to buy. They have to buy what the ruling class sells them. When every billionaire is obsessed with chatbots, every app has a chatbot attached, and if you don’t want a chatbot, sucks to be you then, you have to pay for it anyway.

Different set of cookies, different set of preferences, bookmarks, history, etc. If you need to completely separate two instances, for example one for work and one for everything else, you can only do it with profiles

I use them all the time, they’re great. I learned about it from another random Lemmy comment
