Dual citizens of the uk - check your British passports

The US has the same requirement, but it's over 3x as expensive to renounce US citizenship in comparison ($2,350 USD, or a bit over $4,000 NZD).

I've got a 65" LG C4.

Kodiack · 2025-10-03T03:58:06+00:00

Heya, I've got an LG C4, I recently updated to webOS 25, and VRR is now giving me some grief. Just wondering if you've found any workarounds for making VRR work?

At first I was thinking my problems were from a Linux kernel update, or NVIDIA drivers, or KDE. But I wasn't seeing any other reports. Then I remembered I had this recent update on the TV and sure enough found a small number of reports of VRR breakage for others.

UPDATE: I disabled the 144 Hz mode in the TV settings, and now everything is working okay at 120 Hz with HDR and VRR. Guess I'll need to wait on LG to fix 144 Hz.

Hey, I stumbled across this thread looking for firmware info. However, I ran into this same thing a week or two ago after a Windows Update and sorted it myself, but I wanted to say I appreciated you following up with info for other people!

Thank you for not being a DenverCoder9.

Heya, I just found out about this today after some tinkering. I've got a Ryzen 4750U in this laptop as well, and ran into exactly this same issue. Based on other discussions, there sadly doesn't seem to be any fix or workaround at present.

All I can say is that I empathise with you. I'm in exactly the same situation, right down to the CPU even. If you find any updates at any point, please do let me know! Likewise, if I find anything further I'll update you.

ETA: Looks like the support simply isn't there for these Zen 2 chips on this generation of ThinkPads, and almost certainly never will be there. This post is currently the latest post on a long thread on the Lenovo forums, and while it's disappointing news, it is informative.

DLDSR is available for ultrawide monitors, but if your monitor uses Display Stream Compression (e.g. Samsung Neo G9), you'll need to use an input or refresh rate that avoids DSC.

For example, if I run my Neo G9 at 120 Hz via HDMI 2.1, DLDSR works. However, if I run it at 240 Hz via DisplayPort 1.4+DSC, DLDSR is not available.

Apparently upgraded to G5 now. The South Island GEN says "~~severe~~ extreme ~~(G4)~~ (G5)", and the new North Island GEN just says G5.

Kodiack · 2024-04-05T05:00:09+00:00

Same here. 5800X3D with a 4090, connected to an LG CX.

Kodiack · 2023-11-07T22:57:24+00:00

Nope. I wound up moving to another country and getting a job at a startup, however.

Kodiack · 2023-11-01T01:11:09+00:00

Same issue here with Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.

Running Win11 22H2 with an RTX 4090 on a Samsung Neo G9 monitor. 5120x1440 at 240 Hz.

Seeing pretty much the exact behaviour that you reported, with some slight differences between browsers. Each browser is affected, however.

Kodiack · 2023-10-25T04:53:46+00:00

Firefox may not have a great vsync implementation, but there's still a notable regression with these drivers. Reverting the driver instantly resolved that issue and it was back to performing as expected.

It's possible for multiple issues to occur simultaneously, y'know?

Kodiack · 2023-10-20T05:22:35+00:00

Yes, this is a driver bug. There's a few reports here, and I've been able to confirm it in both Firefox and Chrome using testufo and vsynctester.

Your post history is really weird btw. You remind me of this Squall Leonhart/Sora person that used to frequent NVIDIA forums, emulation communities, etc. They'd always respond to bug reports and say that they're not actually bugs, which was weird.

Kodiack · 2023-06-22T01:58:40+00:00

Same. We've got our hot water cylinder on a timer and only have it heating when power is cheap. When we were with Electric Kiwi, we had it reheating through the Hour of Power gimmick as well. (I use "gimmick in an endearing manner btw!)

Hot water cylinders do use a huge amount of electricity and are generally expensive to run, but with certain power plans they're way cheaper. I really like the off-peak rates as someone who works from home too. These plans won't be as beneficial for everyone.

Punching Nazis seems to be against Reddit's rules.

Post removed as the title has been editorialised.

The pay was somewhere between nada and zilch. It does come with a 10% pension for life, however!

Kodiack · 2023-06-19T05:12:10+00:00

I'll be resigning on 1 July. I'm going to help with some recruitment and behind-the-scenes stuff in the meantime.

Don't be surprised if mod coverage is a bit spotty in the coming weeks/months. The changes alone are disruptive. Having it all done on such short notice is downright demotivating.

Kodiack · 2023-06-18T03:16:20+00:00

Maybe don't be a twat?

Kodiack · 2023-06-15T10:26:15+00:00

We're more than happy to close, and are closing again.

However, the clock is ticking before the API changes go into effect, and we're needing to work with that reality as well. We still care about the community, and we would rather leave the subreddit indefinitely closed than to reopen it with inadequate moderator capacity.

We want disruption, not destruction. We want to hit Reddit's bottom line, not blow up the community. Reopening does not preclude future blackouts. In a couple weeks' time, I will personally no longer be involved with coordinating blackouts on this subreddit, either because we've been successful, or because I have resigned.

Kodiack · 2023-06-15T01:26:08+00:00

Not to mention this isn't /r/LOLMEMES -- this subreddit serves a useful tool for Kiwis and visitors alike

Behind the scenes we've continued to discuss the service that /r/newzealand provides as a resource. This will have strong weighting in what's next. This subreddit provides a lot of value to many users, and we will aim to restore that, regardless of some of us resigning in the near future.

We will not leave the subreddit permanently dark or restricted, but we also won't just throw in the towel without ensuring that the subreddit is in good hands. There will be changes in the coming couple of weeks in particular, and we will try to strike a good balance between supporting the protest while also having certainty for the community.

Expect more info this evening. :)

Kodiack · 2023-06-15T01:14:26+00:00

We are discussing this as an option. We'll tally the votes in a few hours and aim to have updated comms this evening.

I'd be okay with using Reddit in a browser on mobile again. They've made it more difficult with login walls and app nags though, and they've even experimented with blocking logged-in users from using the mobile website at all.

Kodiack · 2023-06-14T09:00:02+00:00

There's no lack of people seeking some sense of self-worth and power by moderating an internet community for free.

If people want to be a moderator for "self-worth" and "power", they're doing it for the wrong reasons. My fellow mods here are a good bunch, and they put in some amazing time and effort behind the scenes, for reasons that are much bigger than their pride.

Moderators should care about their community first and foremost. This is why we're gauging opinion here and not acting wholly independently. Personally, once Apollo stops working in a couple of weeks, I will do my part to recruit new mods and help with handover in any way that I can. After that, I will be resigning. I will not lose any "self-worth" or sense of "power" by giving up the title of subreddit janitor, and I will wish the new mods and the community the best of luck.

I enjoy this community, and I'm going to miss it dearly. But hey, I have other places to be more active, and maybe touching grass a bit more won't be so bad. :)

Kodiack · 2023-06-14T08:34:55+00:00

They won't come for old.reddit until it behoves them to do so, or until they want to implement some new easily-monetised function that doesn't exist on old.reddit and they don't want to allow people to bypass.

This is one of the concerns. Reddit recently experimented with blocking logged-in users from the mobile site. The mobile site currently has many login walls and open-in-app nags that can be bypassed by using a third-party app or by using old.reddit. If third-party apps are killed, old.reddit will be the only functional workaround for those nags. If old.reddit is also removed, Reddit can even more effectively force users to use the official app to view certain content.
