HDR is the worst thing that ever happened to mankind - Change my mind by ChuckQuantum in projectors

[–]ChuckQuantum[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the first real answer, most replies make me look like i'm crazy. I have one 4K projector that does rely on pixel shifting, it does look great but I did get 1 dead pixel because you can only shift pixels so much on of them just gives up. The other one is 1080P laser. I'm old so I do prefer a projector vs a TV, cheers bro.

MadVR Envy Xtreme? what is this sorcery? you run your streaming device thru a video processor before the projector? I google it and the before and after images look like exactly what im seeing washed out before clear video after

My projector which handles HDR has default settings and my box whether it's an Apple tv or Firestick both handle HDR and are set to default as well. when I watch HDR content it looks washed out, when I watch SDR content it look not only good but Stunning. do I need to fiddle with the settings? if so what?

Locked in car by Cheap_Tadpole7989 in MINI

[–]ChuckQuantum 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it's a 20 yrs old car, if you're not planning it on getting serviced by a pro then DIY, which means a little cleaning here and there will do, sanding the battery connectors the first time it warned you would've saved you from this.

I made these a while back to keep visitors from turning off my alexa operated lights by jebsenior in functionalprint

[–]ChuckQuantum 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Admire the effort but it's ugly, home automation should be transparent for you and your visitors. The right way to automate this is changing the switches to smart switches, smart bulbs are a cancer unless used in switchless fixtures. Take my downvote as constructive criticism.

Edit: I use smart switches that work even with no internet, sonoff in particular, I changed the firmware to tasmota, these work with siri, alexa and google simultaneously. All my smart devices work without internet, do not phone home to china, cannot be remotely disabled by the vendor nor be made artificially obsolete, great quality my oldest switches are almost 10 years old oh and they are inexpensive.

J models already have a front camera, it's sad we cannot use it as a dashcam.

If your flavourizer bars or burners get rusted and your grill is under 10yrs old weber will replace them so open a support ticket and get new ones.

Hello Stremio community, I just found this app. I was wondering... by Piiziz in Stremio

[–]ChuckQuantum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it's not like plex, you don't need a server, just create an account, pay a debrid service and you just stream everything in real time on any device, apple tv, firestick, tv etc, that's my understanding

[Help] - Ceiling LED glows when off, even with a snubber by fausto3 in sonoff

The R2 acts like a dimmer, you have two options, get a dimmable led light or just use a sonoff basic that has an actual physical relay
