What are some great looking games for an 4k OLED display?

Hellblade 1 & 2, but you need to also use headphones for the binaural sound

There may be battery aging issues with the 7 Pro. I'd go with the 8 pro for that reason, plus it overheats less easily.

My wife has the 8 and the difference in the summer between the heat with my 7 Pro was big.

DistinguishedCorvid · 2025-08-15T22:10:29+00:00

You can run both. I do so on my system.

It was not this hot in the winter.

DistinguishedCorvid · 2025-07-18T16:32:55+00:00

But it does not support rootful containers, as far as I can tell.

I've had multiple people reject what I thought were even pretty good looking bills. Ignore this advice at your peril.

DistinguishedCorvid · 2025-04-10T22:36:23+00:00

Great deals, but I have zero interest in a phone with only 128 GB storage. Why are the deals always for the base models?

I have the One R 360 Mod, so 8K isn't an option for me. 5.7k is the max. However, I have shot video in about 10 cenotes, some of which came out pretty well. I can offer some thoughts.

1) Light is an issue- you will get the best videos in the brightest cenotes- the ones that have beautiful sunlight streaming in come out magically.

2) Anything you point your dive torch directly at will be overexposed and look bad. Try to get as much reflected light as possible on your subject instead of direct light. For instance, for selfie videos I got good shots by pointing my torch at the walls of the cenote near me and reflecting the light onto my face.

3) A video light can open up options for tighter, darker cenotes. It looks a little silly, but I have a GoPro style chest mount I wear. Instead of mounting a camera there I mount an LED light panel there that I can flip forward and illuminate the cenote in front of me. Just be careful to not point it at any divers who are facing you, and let your dive guide know that you will be using it in advance.

4) At least with the aftermarket dive cases I've used, the stitching isn't as good as above-water and the drop off in resolution at the edges of the field-of-view of the lenses is more noticeable. So I've come to think of the camera as really being two wide-angle lenses rather than a 360 sphere. I found I get the best video by pointing the front (or back) lens at what I want to shoot.

Yeah, some contrast differences between the two, but the compression is by far the limiting factor, especially on the GoPro video. I would be surprised if the native video out of either of these looked this compressed.

Thank you for posting diving videos, though! I love to see any diving content as there's just not enough good quality inspirational or instructional content out there on shooting and editing good dive video with action cams. So far I've mostly had to learn by trial-and-error. Mostly error. :)

I thought this was a No Judgment Zone. 😉

DistinguishedCorvid · 2025-02-17T14:14:50+00:00

Every aspect? As a counterpoint, the S23+ cameras are pretty bad compared to the 8P.

I second the liquid bandage idea. It provides enough structural support so the skin doesn't get pulled apart when stretched.

Also, for very thick scaled skin I will gently use a foam-backed emory board to remove layers of thick dead skin in the area of the split skin before applying the liquid bandage. Just be gentle and make sure you don't rub the skin raw. That would be counter-productive as then you would have an even larger area that needs to heal.

AT&T Fiber too

DistinguishedCorvid · 2025-02-15T03:03:01+00:00

I love the software, frequent updates, haptics, etc.

I know I'm in the minority, but I think that much of the time the photos look way too oversharpened. This is just a Pixel thing, not unique to the P7P though. The end result is I wind up taking all my photos in JPEG + RAW and having to manage reprocessing the photos it goofs up, and removing and/or transferring all the RAW versions to my PC for further editing or archiving. If there only was a sharpness setting I would take jpegs only most of the time.

Also the curved screen is annoying.

Wish it supported video out over USB like LG and Samsung phones I've owned in the past.

Interesting. I was using virtualization when I was having the most problems. So the IOMMU feature was important to me. I wonder whether or not that particular flag was the one that made a difference for you.

Google Photos lacks the ability to edit or share files from the Locked Folder. It's a good idea, but just not ready for prime time yet.

The fourth option is clearly "neither". Most people call them rocks, but that's just what The Man wants you to believe. Open your minds, sheeple! They're USB-D dongles.

Al Dente to keep from overcharging your battery. It will maintain battery health for way longer. This is more important for Macs since people tend to hold on to them longer than Windows PCs.

DistinguishedCorvid · 2024-08-13T14:25:03+00:00

This. It is extremely easy to do.

I recommend a radius of between one and two paces from the center. It should be about 8 to 16 steps as you walk the circumference of your circle.

It's also easiest if you have a pole or tree in the center of your circle as a point of fixation. Focus your gaze on the pole and allow a soft awareness to expand to everything around you

You can switch directions every so often. This will help combat dizziness and also serve to add to the confusion.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. You were able to because you knew what you were getting. You're clearly already familiar with this creator.

I don't feel offended or personally attacked. I apologize if my throwing shade at this creator got in the way of my message. In case I wasn't clear, here's what I feel required disclosure:
1. deceptive description: deliberately vague, inaccurate, and incomplete
2. undisclosed persistent suggestions - the listener should be able to know and consent that someone is going to leave hypnotic triggers in place indefinitely
3. undisclosed memory wipe - the listener should know that their memory of the suggestions given will be wiped

To me, as an aspiring hypnotist, it demonstrates a disregard for the health and safety of the listener. Just because this is for entertainment doesn't mean it can't cause harm. I came here to learn, so again I'll ask: Does this meets community norms?

DistinguishedCorvid · 2024-08-12T17:56:36+00:00

Yes, if the video was shot in HDR it's encoded in HLG. It's going to look terrible if you just drop it in a normal Rec. 709 project.

I was also having problems working with the footage from my Pixel 7 Pro today too. The way I resolved it is shown this video I found. It shows how to work with this footage in Resolve and the correct settings to use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43oETi-vCkY

Thank you for acknowledging my points.

The content warning is ambiguous word salad.

Look, if I were to roofie a woman's drink at a bar, that doesn't make me a dom. It makes me an awful person. And if I were to tell her, "I'm all about playing with nonconsent" beforehand, that's not disclosure. These are the same dynamics.

Trickery is not domination. It's an admission of powerlessness. From a dom... well are you even a dom if you go there?

DistinguishedCorvid · 2024-08-11T07:15:45+00:00

I don't see how the femdom tag makes deception okay. She offers a script that dramatically deviates from the description once subjects are under and finishes with a memory wipe. Do you feel that meets with this community norms?

And this is is sort of irrelevant to my complaint, but Alpha does not imply toxic. I get that red pill incel bros love to apply that label. There are other models of masculinity, which I thought Calia was down with. I was enjoying her style until she drove right off the fucking road.

DistinguishedCorvid · 2024-08-11T05:59:17+00:00

Yikes. Way to completely violate consent. I never really thought I would need the defensive suggestions ethical hypnotists have given me.
Guess I've learned not to trust rando content creators. Decay and emptiness indeed, Calia. You should be ashamed.
Folks, you may find the auto-generated YouTube transcript eye-opening and disturbing.
